Our verdict

If you love yakitori, you’ll love the options at this cosy izakaya. Skewers cooked over the coals of course, but loads more izakaya-style fare including sushi tacos, fresh raw plates and much more. An intimate atmosphere both in the restaurant and in the courtyard and bar designed. Great Japanese drinks too. Kanpai!
