Ronin, a small but trendy izakaya with a focus on seafood and whisky
- With just 14 seats, the emphasis is on what’s available at the market – and a collection of more than 100 Japanese whiskies
With no sign on the door, Ronin is a trendy but small venue with only 14 seats at a long wooden bar. The focus here is on seafood, and the one-page menu varies daily depending on which fresh ingredients are available at the markets.
Dishes are divided into three sections – Raw, Smaller and Bigger – with signatures such as unagi, kinome, chirashi, rice featuring sushi rice blended with kinome and pickled cucumber slices, and topped with lightly-seared fillets of eel. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are also available. Reservations need to be made a week in advance. For Japanese whisky lovers, Ronin’s well-stocked shelf offers more than 100 varieties.
