Chef Gene Kato's neighborhood Japanese restaurant blends Japandi design with intimate robata dining in Lakeview's Southport Corridor.

The cozy interior inspired by traditional tea houses features his custom-designed robata grill from Japan, where warm light glows against Scandinavian-Japanese aesthetics, a private dining room upstairs, and a distinct sidewalk patio shared with neighboring concepts.
