    HAPPY HOUR MENU [PDF]

    Shochu Sunday

    • Special shochu menu on Sundays! Available in addition to our regular menu.

    • 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.

    • Our Shochu Sunday menu offers delicious shochu highballs (chuhai), shochu pours neat/on the rocks/with soda/with hot water, and curated tasting flights.

    • Let us help you find your favorite!
