Alcoholic Beverages
For those looking to indulge, our alcoholic beverage menu features a carefully curated selection of sake, beer, wine, signature cocktails, and Japanese whiskeys.
Sake Selection
Sake is the heart of our drink menu. We pride ourselves on offering an extensive collection that caters to both newcomers and seasoned enthusiasts.
Junmai
A pure rice sake, known for its full-bodied and slightly earthy flavor. It pairs wonderfully with our rich hibachi steak and grilled dishes.
Ginjo & Daiginjo
These are premium sakes, often lighter, more aromatic, and fruitier. They are perfect for complementing delicate flavors in our sushi and sashimi.
Nigori
A coarsely filtered sake that is milky and sweet. Its creamy texture makes it an excellent match for spicy tuna rolls or as a dessert drink.
Aged Sake (Koshu)
For the adventurous, we offer rare, aged sakes with complex, savory notes of soy, mushroom, and nuts.
Signature Cocktails
Our mixologists have designed a list of signature cocktails that blend traditional Japanese ingredients with modern techniques.
Tokyo Mule
A refreshing twist on the classic, made with Japanese vodka, ginger beer, and a splash of yuzu for a citrusy kick.
Lychee Martini
A sweet and fragrant cocktail featuring premium vodka, lychee liqueur, and a hint of lime.
Kyoto Blossom
A beautiful and delicate drink made with gin, cherry blossom syrup, and a touch of elderflower liqueur.
Japanese Craft Beer & Whiskey
Our beer and whiskey selections showcase some of Japan’s finest breweries and distilleries.
Japanese Craft Beer
We offer a rotating selection of craft beers that you won’t commonly find elsewhere.
Look for brands like Hitachino Nest and Echigo, which offer unique styles from white ales to rich stouts.
Japanese Whiskeys
Our collection features a range of premium Japanese whiskeys, celebrated for their smoothness and complexity.
Enjoy world-renowned brands like Suntory and Nikka, either neat, on the rocks, or in a classic Highball.
Food and Drink Pairing Recommendations
To help you get the most out of your dining experience, our sommelier has put together some pairing suggestions:
Sushi and Sashimi
Pair with a light, crisp Ginjo sake or a glass of Sauvignon Blanc. The clean flavors won’t overpower the delicate fish.
Hibachi Steak and Chicken
A full-bodied Junmai sake or a bold Cabernet Sauvignon stands up well to the rich, savory flavors from the hibachi grill.
Spicy Tuna or Tempura Rolls
The slight sweetness of a Nigori sake or a crisp Japanese lager helps balance the spice and cut through the richness of fried tempura.
Teriyaki Dishes
Try pairing with a Japanese Whiskey Highball. Its clean, bubbly profile cleanses the palate and complements the sweet and savory glaze.
