This two-story earth-toned space offers a restaurant and sake lounge upstairs and lounge seating downstairs. The globetrotting menu highlights multiple Asian countries and the lineup rotates every few weeks. Recent offerings included global choices like miso-sake braised baby back ribs with a spicy lime glaze, pan-seared Kobe-style shoulder loin with vegetable stir-fry and Japanese green peppercorn teriyaki, plus mainstays like udon noodles and pad Thai. Sashimi, nigiri and maki also make the menu (we like the sounds of the tochigi roll, fresh tuna in spicy sauce with mango and avocado). Thirsty? Choose from a list of premium sakes and about 20 wines by-the-glass, or go for the signature martini – it's cucumber infused gin laced with Thai basil and cucumber.
