Hitokuchi, A New Sake Lounge By Hidden Fish, Opens In Convoy

Hitokuchi, meaning “one sip, one bite”, is a Convoy-based Sake Lounge by Hidden Fish focusing on premium sake pairing with small bite dishes.

After more than three years in development, Chef-owner John Hong launched Hitokuchi to serve shareable, amuse-bouche-sized dishes of luxurious Japanese cuisine, with ingredients sourced from around the globe, including directly from Japan’s renowned Toyosu Fish Market.
