The 21st floor lounge at Takami Sushi & Robata Restaurant just introduced a new lounge menu. Monday through Friday from 4:30 – 6:30 PM, for happy hour, all bar dishes cost half-price. The dishes normally cost $6-15. Chef Kenny Yamada, who was the opening chef for Katsu-ya in Encino, is preparing dishes like Japanese fries flavored with seaweed flakes, popcorn shrimp with wasabi sauce and calamari coated with Japanese rice crackers, served with cilantro aioli. There are also two trios: sushi (pepper tuna, ono and albacore) and robata (chicken breast, chicken wings, & negima chicken skewers).

During the weekday happy hour, Takami is “WINE-ding Down” with a selection of wines by the glass for $5. The menu changes monthly. This month, all the selections are from the Mendoza region of Argentina. Think Trapiche Torrontes 2007, Melipal, Malbec Rose 2007 and Alamos Chardonnay 2006.

   consider this place is about two blocks away from the office, it could be a fun happy hour spot for when Peter and I get done with work.
