Surrounded by tempting, savory aromas, diners can enjoy their food and drinks in a relaxed setting that feels like a hidden retreat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The menu boasts a wide variety of options, ranging from classic chicken skewers like <em>negima<\/em> (chicken and scallion) and <em>tsukune<\/em> (chicken meatballs) to fresh vegetable skewers like shiitake mushrooms, alongside highly creative, original combinations.
