Why you goKura’s cool. Cool as in “I know this great little place” cool. For anyone in thrall to the casual yet studied Japanese approach to dining and drinking (not necessarily in that order) this robata-grill and sake specialist is impossible to resist. Further acting in its favour is the fact it doesn't have to shout to be heard. In fact, everything about Kura is subtle in that oh-so-Japanese way, beginning with the entrance: look for the paper lanterns hanging discreetly in an alcove, and head on in.
Why you stayHad a busy day? Feeling overwhelmed with the world? Here’s your antidote. The grooves are mellow, the long, dark, skinny room soothing in a way that understands that less is more so long as it’s done with an arty eye. The nature of the Kura beast means you can treat it as a bar or a restaurant or something in between (a few yakitori sticks and a glass of something cold, perhaps?). There’s no pressure and no fuss.
