Menu:
- Okonomiyaki: Often dubbed "Japanese Pizza," this savory pancake is packed with cabbage, seafood, and veggies. Since it means “how you like it,” it’s basically the ultimate customizable comfort food.
- Yakitori: These chicken and scallion skewers are grilled with a tangy teriyaki-style sauce. Learn how a simple dish can pack so much punch.
- Yakisoba: Stir-fried noodles and vegetables tossed in a signature savory sauce. We’ll finish them with traditional pickled ginger and a sprinkle of aonori (powdered seaweed).
