Inspired by the Japanese izakaya, an informal place to gather, drink, and share small plates, we invite you to sip Japanese spirits and beers either indoors or outdoors in a private Japanese garden​, while DJ Korean Abdul Jabbar sets the vibe with city pop and mid-tempo grooves​. Enjoy seasonal small bites curated by JACCC Chef Gary Matsumoto, crafted to capture the relaxed, communal spirit of izakaya culture. In true izakaya tradition, you’ll also receive an otoshi, a small appetizer served as a welcoming gesture to start your experience.

Chill is the first edition of a new seasonal series — an easygoing night to gather, drink, and unwind in one of Little Tokyo’s best-kept secrets.

Join us and discover your new favorite way to spend a summer evening.
