Une pépite traditionnelle japonaise comme on les aime. L'enseigne n'est pas visible de l'extérieur, pour une ambiance cache.
Endroit très sombre, la lumière est faible c'est ce qui fait tout son charme.
Peu de choix de cocktails mais ils changent tous de l'ordinaire & surtout ils sont très bons.
Parfait pour les amateurs de saké, whisky & alcool fort.
Ils servent aussi quelques amuse bouche en supplément.
Le service est impeccable, les cocktails sont bons. Allez découvrir cet endroit !

I came alone. I ordered a scallop appetizer. They were good… So that encouraged me to get a maguro (tuna) dish with rice. The tuna wasn't tender or fresh enough. It was a bit fibrous & dry. That disappointed me. They have a nice selection of sake & Japanese whiskey. The waitress was kind. However, they don't accept cash, & no one mentions it in advance. I don't know what they expect 🙄😬. Payment was complicated. A real shame. I won't be going back

The bar is awesome looking & has a cool concept, the drinks & food was really good, however the staff was so rude & unprofessional. Our waitor (I believe he is a french guy), did not even bother to come see us a second time to see if we wanted another drink or anything else, we had to flag him down, & even when we did he was extremely cold. Sad such staff work in hospitality.
