This nondescript Echo Park restaurant serves sake on tap, including special seasonal releases from Japan. The ever-changing menu melds chef Charles Namba’s childhood memories of his mom’s yoshoku cooking. The food is decidedly Western, but the style has deep roots, originating from Japan’s Meiji period in 1889. Think: potato salad with fried capers and Kurobuta pork sausage, crispy panko-crusted Caledonian prawns with house-smoked roe, and rock shrimp okonomiyaki, a crispy egg-based pancake with cabbage, sprouts and bonito flakes. The menu changes often to echo California’s changing seasons and to best pair with what’s being poured.
