Restaurant and sushi bar

Ino has two restaurants: a sushi bar and an izakaya. The latter is more restaurant-focused, although both eateries offer both dine-in and takeout options. The difference lies more in the menu: the izakaya menu focuses a bit more on Japanese street food, but both also offer creative and colourful sushi.
