A Japanese kissaten café by day and sake bar by night, pulling off both moods with ease. Omurice and katsu sandos are comfort-forward and well-executed, and the evening izakaya menu pairs smoothly with their deep sake list. Perfect for a low-key meal that turns into a drink.
Must-Try Dishes: Omurice, Katsu sando, Siphon coffee or curated sake flight
