Shochu is a distilled beverage similar to vodka, but made from different ingredients such as rice, sweet potato, barley, and brown sugar. The best thing about shochu, is that it’s actually healthy for you! It has 1/3 the calories of vodka and doesn’t give you a hangover. (We’ve had personal experience with this, and it’s true!!!) It also produces an enzyme called Urokinase, which breaks down blood clots and helps prevent heart attacks and strokes.
The menu, created by Josh Hansen, executive chef of Deleece, includes signature maki rolls like lobster and truffle aioli, shrimp with bacon, or pimenton kampachi. We have three curry dishes, five different chicken wings, grilled skewers of meat and vegetables called Yakitori with seven dipping sauces, and much more. Both the décor and the staff provide the warmth and comfort of Deleece with a slightly more contemporary feel.
