Our Heart and Soul...
Please take some time to explore our Menu. When you just can't take it anymore, we hope you'll visit us in person for an authentic taste of Japan!
And while you are here, please don't forget to ask your server about our Special Japanese Appetizer Menu. It is full of varied and unique dishes
that one could consider Japanese comfort food. Our Special Japanese Appetizer Menu changes daily, so it is not kept current here on the
website.
Please remember, we don't sell alcohol, but you are encouraged to bring
your own alcoholic beverage of choice. We'll keep it cool, and keep your glasses full!

We will be closed Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (Thanksgiving Day). Due to illness, we have chosen to keep our employees and customers safe by taking this time out to recover. We will reopen Friday 11/26 with our normal hours. Thank you so much for your understanding and have a wonderful holiday.
