"A Creole izakaya from the Honns (the chefs and owners behind Carmo) along with chef Wataru Saeki, who led the raw bar at Carmo for 10 years. Tucked away within the Broadside’s compound in a lovely sliver of a space, it offers a relaxing atmosphere for drinks and dinner. The food is inspired by the cuisine of Japanese immigrants — the concept of Nikkei (the descendants of Japanese immigrants living around the world) — and the menu mixes traditional Japanese dishes like chashu pork, karaage, bukkake udon, and Okinawa somen champul with Japanese-diaspora items such as kakiage and pastel de feira." - Clair Lorell
