We did notice that Syracuse.com posted restaurants that are open for take out and that we were on the list. We are not open at this time and will not be reopening until the corona virus ban is lifted. We will let everyone know as soon as we get the ok to do so. Until then we hope everyone stays safe.

Rice is a staple of the Japanese diet. It is actually a prolific crop, and over 40,000 varieties of rice are grown worldwide. Can you guess what percentage of the Japanese population consumes rice daily? If you guessed 70 percent, you're right.

LET'S BE FESTIVE! come in to eat in our t lounge, bar, or hibachi tables on sun 12/20 through Thursday 12/24, and if you wear an UGLY sweater you will receive 1 complimentary drink ( non-alcoholic, well or a beer!) Hope to see you soon! Happy holidays!!

Tuna is one of the most in-demand fish in the food industry. According to a recent survey, approximately 80% of the world’s Bluefin tuna that is caught is used for sushi.

In Japanese Hibachi cuisine, there are several favorite Japanese dishes that are cooked right before the diner’s eyes. This includes everything from a variety of Tempura to Beef Negima Yaki and Yakitori.

Can you guess the difference between sake and mirin? Both are alcoholic, but one is more potent than the other. Mirin is a mild wine, and while sake is often referred to as a rice "wine," it's actually brewed more like a beer.

The Japanese have always fused form and function, and viewed even cooking devices like the hibachi as art and form. Early hibachis were often ornate, made of gold, and finished with lacquer, and today many are as much works of art as they are a cooking tool.

Sake is the alcoholic beverage that typically accompanies sushi, and, depending on the style of sake, it can be served either hot or cold. Typically, though, higher quality sake is better if it is served cold.

Come in and try our new sushi roll! ~ Panic Roll~ It has jalapeños and albacore on the inside, topped with avocado and a nice mouth watering "sushi salsa" , that consists of pineapple, cucumber, parsley, onion, and a dash of tobiko! We serve on the side a jalapeño ranch dipping sauce!

Japanese cooking is famous for its fresh ingredients prepared quickly and seasoned to perfection. Some popular seasonings used with hibachi recipes include: garlic, peppers, sesame seeds, curry, soy, fish sauce and ginger.

The best way to complete any meal is with the right drink, and hibachi dining is no exception. At a hibachi restaurant you’ll find plenty of great cocktail options, as well as traditional Japanese drinks such as sake, plum wine, or Japanese beer.
