We recently were featured in Conde Nast Traveler as one of twenty spots to eat at in Philadelphia!

With a restaurant scene like this, who'd be jealous of New York City?

TWO YEAR ANNIVERSARY PARTY THIS COMING SUNDAY! We didn't throw a party for the one year, so we're going all out for our two year. Here's what will be going down:

We will be launching an updated liquor menu featuring 20+ new whiskey's, rums, mezcals, etc.

Featured cocktails, punch, and food specials.

We're going to tap one of the last kegs of Hitachino 3 days left in the world. The 3 Days was an extremely limited Hitachino beer that came about from the 2011 earthquake that hit Japan.

Jesse Ito will be making special handrolls at the sushi bar from 6-10pm. 10 seats, first come first serve, 30 minute time limit per each guest.

Raffle giveaways including one free mini omakase and one free full omakase.

Come eat, drink, and have fun with us! ;)

There's no sign on the door - you'll have to look for the lantern. Once you find it, you'll never look at sushi the same way again.

We made Philadelphia Magazine’s “50 Best Restaurants” list to ring in the New Year. Also check Jesse’s feature among other chefs who are changing the food game in Philly 🙌.

Also, we will be open for Christmas. Nigiri sushi will be available to order in the izakaya for just that night!
