The maker
One pair of hands.
Chef Sato apprenticed eleven years behind a Ginza counter before coming home to Otaru. He wanted a room small enough that no roll would ever wait — ten seats was the answer.

Nothing sleeps here.
We buy at dawn, break down by ten, serve by five. The distance from the auction floor to the counter is four streets.
4
streets from the dawn auction to the counter
12
seconds from the itamae’s hand to yours
10
seats, so the chef sees every plate land
The pace is the hospitality.
There is no music and no menu on the table. Hojicha is poured when your cup is low, the next roll arrives when the last one is finished, and dinner ends when the paper says it does. Guests call it quiet. We call it attention.
Sit with us, nightly.
