Refined Asian-style teahouse by day, funky izakaya by night: Nobuo at Teeter House reflects the fascinating duality of Nobuo Fukuda.
The setting a turn-of-the-century, wood-floored bungalow, awash in earth tones emulates the relaxed intimacy of Japans izakaya, where friends and business associates gather to eat Japanese snacks, drink beer and have fun. With its chest-high counters and scarcity of tables, the main room celebrates tachi-nomi: literally drinking while standing, a time-honored tradition among Japanese salarymen. Nobuo elevates the custom while staying true to its low brow roots, offering rustic Japanese classics with modern American inflections.
During the day, a short lunch menu is offered, as are exotic, aromatic teas, meant to be sipped and savored over quiet conversation.
In the evening, Nobuo creates elegant Omakase in the reservations-only tasting room, bringing a Western sensibility to Japanese sushi traditions while combining seasonal ingredients in exciting, inventive ways.
