My partner and I fully enjoyed the drinks here. We both got a flight of sake. We also had the ramen snacks, the brussel sprouts, and the sausage. My partner finished the night off with an Old Fashioned.
We loved everything about this place. I have a sulfate allergy, so enjoy drinks besides beer and hard liquor is hard to do. So I have been exploring different sakes.
This place was very good. It is really small, so its not good for large groups. I’d say the biggest table could have 4 people. So this is a great place for a date.

We enjoyed the sake on the balcony, really good atmosphere for sips with friends. I wouldn’t come here for food though: the kastu sandwich was overcooked and very salty, the cheese appetizer tasted like wet cheese.

Amazing food. If you like to try something outside the ordinary into the extraordinary you should definitely try Hannyatou. Completely new Japanese dishes that I have never tried before Low key atmosphere and great sake selections.

Feels like I was in a late night bar in Osaka. We had some sake, ume old-fashion, rice beer, katsu sando, Japan dog and brussel sprouts. We enjoyed the experience and will be back with friends.

Cute Japanese bistro / sake house with limited food selection. Pretty pricy for the finger foods they serve. The katsu sando and miso soup were the highlights but everything else was just okay.

This is a great addition to compliment Kamonegi; which doesn’t have a bar but has great food and usually a long wait. This place is truly as authentic Japanese as you can get in town, down to the tiny restroom. Hannyatou is a small yet cozy little spot with a nice selection of sake, that is nice for small plates and drinks or just for drinks while you wait for Kamonegi. Highly recommended!

Fantastic spot for a relaxed date night. The sake menu here is diverse and has real depth. The sake flights are a great deal and a terrific way to learn about various sakes. Super friendly staff, charming ambiance, and outdoor seating as well. Love the small bites here. We’ll be back for sure.

There are culinary adventures, and then there are mind blowing fusion experiences. Hannyatou is one of those experiences, and should not be missed. With a friendly and helpful staff, amazing drink selection, and phenomenal food options this is one of those small off-the-beaten-path places worth the time and effort to find. In today’s age this is one of those places worth every cent, and them some.

We got a seat at the bar, which I highly recommend since it’s fun to watch food get made, and it piques your curiosity too—we definitely ordered more after watching delicious-looking items head out to other tables. Apparently the menu rotates by the day, but if there’s a katsu sando on the menu when you come in, I would jump on it. Not pictured, but the small snack of dried squid in gochujang sauce we got was also fantastic, as was the “okonomi-latke.” Fantastic service, great ambiance, my partner and I had a great time. Thanks guys!

Enjoyed some very yummy nibbles here on their covered deck on a weekday night! I’d made a last moment reservation just in case but turned out it wasn’t necessary. Everything we tried was yummy but we particularly loved the raw octopus in fresh Wasabi, the spam and liver pate, and the tonkatsu sandwiches! Also their hot dog (not pictured) was great. Keep in mind they do have a one drink per person rule regardless if you’re intending to just nibble, and they’re 21+ only. The yuzu mocktail and calpico mocktail we ordered to fufill that both ended up delicious surprises 🙂
