The Menu
Small plates from the binchōtan, four bowls of ramen, two sandos, a long bar — and Sunday brunch. The menu rotates with the seasons; the heart of it never moves.
Each skewer grilled over Tosa binchōtan — long-burning Japanese charcoal that brings high heat without smoke. Choose shio (salt) or tare (sweet-soy glaze). Served by the pair.
Boneless thigh, sweet leek, charred and glazed in tare.
Hand-shaped, brushed with tare, served with a cured yolk for dipping.
Black pepper, fennel, lemon. Salt only.
Wild Gulf shrimp, saffron butter, kewpie.
Whole shiitake, miso butter, togarashi.
Single skewer, salt only, brushed at the table.
