Special shochu menu on Sundays!
Join us for delicious shochu highballs (chuhai), shochu pours neat/on the rocks/with soda/with hot water, and fun curated tasting flights. Our full menu is also available.
WHAT IS SHOCHU? Shochu is an aromatic, clear, distilled Japanese spirit that uses koji for fermentation. Koji creates umami - it's a crucial fermentation starter for Japanese staples like soy sauce, miso, and sake. The flavor profile varies wildly depending on what it's made from.
Let us help you find your favorite.
