"This unmarked tasting menu restaurant uses relatively simple and seasonal ingredients as the base of phenomenal dishes, like bok choy sprinkled with furikake, or Japanese sweet potato on top of kimchi and creamy hazelnut-soy milk. Although servers might place plates on the table in one synchronized movement, it’s not stuffy— there’s lively music, the staff is friendly, and you can eat here without a suit jacket. If there aren’t any reservations available for the five-course tasting menu, the bar accepts walk-in seating.
