Description
Kanagawa native Chef Yanagi took over the former Suzuki Shokudo space, centering the menu on craft rather than commercial trends. Along with lunchtime bento boxes and donburi, the kitchen serves sukiyaki, juicy karaage paired with highballs, and aged Double Toro a-la-carte. The vibe is that of a not overly commercialized neighborhood joint, run by an owner passionate about keeping the service warm and the ingredients fresh.
