Assistant General Manager

PABU Izakaya is a culinary delight created by Chef Ken Tominaga, of the famed Hana Japanese restaurant, and Chef Michael Mina. This unique take on the classic Japanese izakaya has been modernized by Tominaga and Mina as a celebration of world-class sashimi, sushi, and grilled meats from the robata with an expansive sake list and a modern, seasonal cocktail menu. PABU Izakaya features the finest locally and globally sourced jet-fresh seafood flown in daily from Japan’s famed Toyosu Market accented by its signature selection of A5 Japanese Wagyu. PABU Izakaya's allure derives from its old-world Japanese charm infused with urban sophistication.
