"“Juju” is the Japanese word for the sound made from sizzling meats, but the vibe inside this sister restaurant to Susuru nearly upstages the binchotan-seared yakitori, kushiyaki and dry-aged fish. Stepping into the Showa-era-styled izakaya is like time-warping onto a Japanese movie set from the 1960s. It only serves to enhance the dining experience here, which features a 10-course meal at the 6-seat kappo bar, or Japanese soul food faves in the izakaya dining room. Enjoy a cocktail or two while watching old Japanese music videos in the lounge. Lin will launch Hikiniku to Sumi, a lunchtime hambagu subconcept at the kappo bar in early 2025." - Faiyaz Kara
