Michelin Bib Gourmand and Tabelog 100 #69

Obanzai Set Meal and Horse Mackerel Fry
Obanzai Set Meal and Horse Mackerel Fry anchor the order at this modern Japanese izakaya. The format fits lunch or dinner when the plan calls for a measured meal rather than a fast bite.
Sake, open kitchen, conversational pace
Sake shapes the beverage focus, while an open kitchen and conversational noise level support a meal where the table can stay engaged. Smart casual dress and upscale casual service keep the tone polished but not formal.
