MF Sushi’s Alex Kinjo Is Opening Japanese Restaurant and Sake Bar Yuji at Junction Krog District in Atlanta | Eater Atlanta
"A Japanese restaurant and sake bar named for the chef’s friend and sake maker, this concept will center on multi-course, Kaiseki-style dinners where each course is paired with sake—including offerings from the Matsumoto family’s private Kizakura label. Connected to the complex’s public porch and a large patio, the venue will feature two outdoor bars pouring cocktails, beer, and draft sake, plus a walk-up touchscreen window for takeout. The interior will present a modern Japanese aesthetic with Hinoki wood accents and a neutral palette, with seating at tables, a horseshoe-shaped central bar, and a small round bar anchored by a pillar. Expected to open next spring along the Eastside Beltline trail." - Beth McKibben
