Recently opened in Bishop Arts is this shoe-box-sized izakaya by Dallas pop-up ramen chef Justin Holt. The menu features ramen, of course, but what you want to come here for is the traditional yakitori which is grilled over Japanese binchotan charcoal. Expect to find skewers of virtually every part of the chicken, ranging from the wing and breast to the inner thigh, knee cartilage and tail. Other items from the grill include arabiki sausage, shishito peppers, okra and enoki mushrooms with bacon. Don't miss the soy-glazed tsukune (chicken meatballs) which is served with a tare sauce and cured egg yolk. Japanese whiskey, shochu cocktails and soft-serve Mexican vanilla ice cream dipped in dark or white chocolate are also featured.
