Fodor's Expert Review Tanuki's Cave

$$$$ City Center and Parnell Japanese

A flight of dimly lighted stairs leads down to this buzzing Japanese yakitori and sake bar. The oblong bar is usually jammed with film-festival types, the young art and fashion crowd, or classical music lovers eating before a concert in the nearby Town Hall. Order small plates of Japanese food and sip at more than 20 types of sake by the glass.
