Friendly service and definitely has a Japanese authenticity about it. Much like your classic Japanese Grill you have your grilled tapas food to go with your Sake, and what a variety of Sake they have! If you want an experience of a true Japanese Grill with Sake this is the place to be. The service is fantastic too, very attentive. The only thing I did not like was the time limit you have for your booking, as i remembered it was about an hour and a half, so don't be late.

It consider taking a bit of time from the city, around 20-25 minutes if taking tram.
As we were about 15 people, so we sat on the second floor. I'm not sure how it works but the menu on the second floor is different with the 1st floor (I think). I tried the yakiniku one.
The portion is not very big, with the price of 7 dollar per portion. The meat were tender and tasty. There's one food I fell in love with but I can't remember the name but it's cheese wrapped with bacon in stick. It was very tasty and the cheese actually melts in your mouth!
However, I have a bid of bad experience there. It was Saturday, so the place is quite crowded. When we were about ordering dessert, the waiter ask us that we have to leave soon because there's another customers waiting downstairs. But we decided to still order the dessert. The guy keep coming back to our table, saying and apologizing that we had to leave as soon as we can. We haven;t even finish our dessert yet!!!
Overall, it was okay

This has to be one of the best japanese restaurants to have opened up in a while.Very laid back and friendly. The food is mainle tapas and they have a huge selection of sake. Delicious and fresh food.

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Complimentary dipping tray is a nice touch. Bustling on a Friday night, but our food came quickly - enjoyed the tapas styled food.

This restaurant is something new and exciting for bridge rd. It is more of a grill/Japanese BBQ style restaurant and you will need to ask questions when you receive the menu and the dipping tray.
It can be confusing so make sure you are not shy and ask away. Don't go in large numbers. the restaurant is small and you will most likely sit up at the bench. Its a unique experience and the food is very very good. it is authentic in every way, you even get the Japanese greeting and goodbye. Dont expect sushi or noodles. this is a grill restaurant. there are over 60 varieties of sake on offer. So if you are a sake connoisseur then this is your place for a night out.
The restaurant is so traditional that you virtually have to yell out for your bill.
3.5 stars.

Approximate cost: $30
