A Dublin izakaya,
made in Japan.
Built with friends from Osaka: small plates for sharing, dry-aged sushi from our robata kitchen, a binchō-tan grill, and a sake list poured by two in-house kikisake-shi. First dates, work nights, solo at the bar. Come as you are.

Four friends.
One obsession.
A stubborn obsession with sake and quality food brought us back to Dublin, first to Temple Bar and then to Malahide.
We brought back what we couldn't find at home: an honest izakaya where small plates, robata, dry-aged sushi, and proper sake come together at one table.

Champion beef.
First in Ireland to serve A5 Miyazaki-gyū, the multiple-time champion of Japan's prestigious Wagyu Olympics and widely regarded as the finest beef in the world.
Sourced direct from Miyazaki, seared over binchō-tan charcoal. The variety changes with the season, but the standard never does.
Craft sake cocktails.
Built by experts.
Two in-house kikisake-shi, certified sake sommeliers, pour the list and build the cocktails. Whether you're new to sake or already obsessed, they'll guide you to the right pairing.
Japanese shōchū, premium sake, sake-based craft cocktails, and a carefully chosen wine and beer list. House of Sake in Ireland.
