A Japanese izakaya in East Nashville that's dark, moody, and completely transportive. The ramen is excellent — rich tonkotsu broth that simmers for hours — but the small plates are where the kitchen shines. Yakitori skewers over binchotan charcoal, okonomiyaki, and a sake list that rewards exploration. It's the restaurant East Nashville didn't know it needed.
Insider tip
Sit at the bar overlooking the open kitchen. Order the chicken yakitori and the tonkotsu ramen. Finish with a cold sake.
