About
There are two distinct sections to this restaurant, each with its own menu. The indoor part is upscale casual, with a full menu of traditional Japanese fare. The outside takeout window serves a few standard local dishes, including Barbecued Chicken and Katsu chicken. It's cheap, quick and informal. People order at the counter, pay in cash, and take their food to an outdoor table or to their business or home. The two sections of the restaurant are divided by the kitchen, so if you're dining in one you won't see the other.
