A compact interior creates an intimate atmosphere defined by minimalist wood accents and wall-mounted art that mirrors contemporary urban Japanese aesthetics.

La nourriture était excellente, nous avons pris une offre à plusieurs qui permettait de partager plusieurs plats de la carte. Les prix sont un peu cher mais le repas le vaut. Cependant ils devraient diversifier la carte des boissons. Pour une découverte nous ne connaissions pas devraient nombreux produit & de ce fait difficile de faire un choix

The food has some really interesting flavours, the salmon bon bons & the watermelon salad were tasty. But the beef & cheese skewer was cold. Yes I ordered take out but I live 2 steps away so I ate the meal within minutes & the grilled beef was cold. Makes me wonder if they put less effort into take out meals. The restaurant is really nice though but for the price, the portion size is really small.

On a essayé le testing menu a 40$. On était bien rempli. Gros coup de coeur pour les ribs, le poulet kaarage & le tartare de saumon sur feuille de nori!

Cute izakaya spot downtown MTL. Terasse is very cute & not something you usually find downtown. Food is quite good, reasonably priced. Service varies a lot, but generally is kind of mid. Would still recommend tho for a smaller group.
