Truly an izakaya gem: Great wine, wonderful grills, fresh sashimi, nostalgic Canton music selectionI am so drawn to this izakaya place by its moonlit theme and nostalgic Cantonese pop songs. My pick from the drink menu tonight: Yuzu wine with Jelly from Tochigi. It was so cool to have sweet jelly in your wine, and it's zesty and refreshing from the yuzu.

I am so drawn to this izakaya place by its moonlit theme and nostalgic Cantonese pop songs. My pick from the drink menu tonight: Yuzu wine with Jelly from Tochigi. It was so cool to have sweet jelly in your wine, and it's zesty and refreshing from the yuzu.

Starters: torched flounder fin, scallop sashimi, and grilled cream cheese with salt-pickled seafood innards & deep fried cracker (酒盜芝士). All of these were top-notch. I was so impressed by the torched flounder which melted in your mouth; and the 酒盜 cream cheese, the fried cracker tasted almost like crispy pork rinds, paired exceptionally well with the savory pickled bonito guts and creamy cheese, also your wine.

Signature: You must try their evil tamagoyaki with cheese. These egg rolls were perfectly jiggly, the eggs were over-easy, still runny with some gooey melty cheese inside. So so good!

Grills: It's izakaya o'clock so don't miss their excellent grill menus. Very spicy grilled cuttlefish lips was a definitely a hit, you seldom get this elsewhere in a Japanese izakaya. Minced chicken skewer with an authentic spicy mentaiko drizzle and a very rich teriyaki sauce. High quality and tender Kumamoto beef cubes on skewer (very affordably priced!). Crunchy and juicy asparagus wrapped in pork slices.
