The Mina Group
PABU Izakaya is a culinary delight created by Chef Ken Tominaga, of Hana Japanese restaurant, and Chef Michael Mina. This unique take on the classic Japanese izakaya has been modernized to celebrate 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 seafood flown in daily from Toyosu Market and a signature selection of A5 Japanese Wagyu. PABU Izakaya's allure derives from its old-world Japanese charm infused with urban sophistication.
