Fingers crossed for a real izakaya and not just an AYCE sushi joint.
That would be nice. But if it's Kinkaku people, I will expect AYCE again. It's working so well for them I can't see them changing the formula.
Expect something different in Uptown. The ownership of Kinkaku understands the market has changed since the original was opened, and people are more comfortable with other forms of Japanese restaurants.
