The Izakaya might most easily be described as a Japanese tapas bar or gastropub. The tradition has its origins in sake shops that allowed customers to drink on site: i means “stay” and sakaya means “sake shop.” These evolved into lively, democratic restaurants where anyone could share servings inspired by almost all styles of Japanese cuisine — from street food to sushi and sashimi — and choose from a vast selection of ice-cold beer, wine, and, of course, sake.

Their restaurant is a faithful interpretation of the izakaya that also embraces the ideas that have made the Danish capital one of the world’s most vibrant dining destinations. Therefore, in addition to serving a permanent list of classic dishes like fried chicken, sashimi, dumplings, and tender pork belly, our chef crafts a constantly rotating  “seasonal menu” that draws on the best produce nearby biodynamic farms offer and the most pristine seafood on the market
