About
Haku Cafe & Izakaya takes its name and inspiration from Hakutsuru, one of Japan's oldest and most respected sake breweries. Operating in the style of a kaku-uchi — Japan's traditional standing sake bar — the café serves simple, pure Japanese food alongside a curated sake selection. The daytime menu covers bento boxes, matcha drinks and daily snack plates, reflecting a philosophy of straightforward, quality-led Japanese hospitality. It is a quieter, more casual alternative to the area's restaurants, rooted in a genuinely Japanese concept. Walk-ins only; no table bookings accepted.
