Excellent ramen, karaage, and lamb. They have an extensive beverage menu with tons of sake options. They even have a 1000 bottle. They seem to care about service and food quality. The prices for the ramen were affordable.

Dined in and sat at the bar. I ordered the nightly chicken special yakitori x2 and the shoyu ramen. The chicken skewers were delicious perfectly cooked and seasoned. The ramen was good too, I especially liked the bamboo and mushrooms extra toppings.
