Find the obscure door with an inconspicuous red neon sign, walk up the staircase and enjoy our favorite nighttime Japanese spots. Fun, speakeasy-esque vibe with fresh sashimi, speciality rolls, yakitori and ramen (try the one with ribs!). Don't forget their rotating mochi at the end for a sweet treat.
