Very traditional and authentic Japanese Izakaya near Midtown area. Really loved the place and the food, you can definitely see everything is made with care. It can get really best depending on the day or hour thought, so keep that in mind.

Delicious and authentic izakaya with a very wide range of Japanese food to choose from. The staff work very hard and are incredibly polite and friendly. This is one of my favorite restaurants in Atlanta and I highly recommend it.

Awesome place, great friendly staff gives you the real Japanese Izakaya experience right here in the ATL. Everything I had from the Kushiyaki menu was delicious! (Chicken & Scallion, Chicken wing, shiitakes, the pork dumplings and the sukiyaki croquettes)

We also got the spicy kimchi, which was really good, and the Ginya Don, where the fish was almost perfect and clearly high quality. We started with the sashimi appetizer, and the fish was extremely fresh. On top of all that, the prices are
