What makes it special
Teppan-yaki focused on bold seasonal ingredients: the beef-sukiyaki-negi-yaki uses an “outrageous” quantity of leek (per the post), tomato-cheese okonomiyaki offers balanced acidity, and the shiitake cheese burger—small-looking but mushroom-forward—subverts expectations. Open late most nights. Caption notes this style is rare in Tokyo.
