About
Izakaya NoMad at 13 West 26th Street was opened by Japanese entrepreneur Moku, who wanted to bring izakaya culture to a neighborhood where it was sparse. Manhattan Sideways describes it as 'the first izakaya around to call themselves a Japanese gastropub.' The restaurant features an open kitchen with a yakitori chef and runs weekday happy hour from 5–7 PM.
