This place is a gem - a true izakaya located in the relaxed hamlet of Los Altos. Yakitori, salads, sake, and nabes are on offer - all are quite delicious. Sumika uses binchoutan charcoal which burns...

a bunch of stuff for not so much money.  If you're expecting some fancy schmancy sushi joint with a sake list and fusion-y food, please stay away. If you like hole-in-the-wall style Japanese eating, you've...
