Dished is told items like sea urchins and oysters will be on the menu, which is currently being developed by the team.
For drinks, expect original cocktails, Japanese draft beer, sake, and whisky high balls.
This will be Takenaka’s first foray into the full-service realm; the concept’s cafe location is fast-casual and does not offer booze.
