It's not a typical izakaya. Some dishes were better than the usual, and at the same time I missed some of the standard izakaya fare that wasn't on the menu. The beer pitchers looked like they held more drink than they really did; they were an optical illusion. Braised pork was pretty incredible; the salads were surprising in taste and texture. The sashimi and karaage were average, to me. Overall, the food was a little better than at a Watami or Doma-Doma, about twice the price, with a nice view and quite a nice atmosphere (although all the smoke from the kitchen made us feel a bit grimy, as we were sitting close by). It was a nice restaurant, one that I might not go to on on a regular basis but I will certainly take visitors there to partake. . .
