This is very good news. After landing a Michelin star for his refined Bucktown restaurant, Takashi Yagihashi just announced that he has secured a space in River North for a brand new concept. Talking to Steve Dolinsky, he claims that it will be “more rustic than Takashi, more affordable and very casual.” It’ll be part noodle bar and part grill, with a variety of skewers. Plus there will be “nice shochu, good beer and premium sake.” If this sounds an awful lot like a izakaya, then you’re not far off. It doesn’t have a name right now, but it does plan to open next summer. [WBEZ]
