Mid Reno Update

We are halfway through our renovation dateline. Hopefully, the shop will be completed by end of this month. Things seem to be moving faster with each day and it never ceases to surprise us each time we visit the site. With the walls up, the proportions of the shop start to become more obvious. The initial concern of tight walkway behind the counter is unfounded and the kitchen isn't as cramped as we thought. Although the shop is still not as vast we would have liked, it seems like a cozy place to enjoy good food and great company, that the izakaya experience should embody. 

We needed to add a new extractor fan to provide sufficient flow for the charcoal grill. It can be seen on the top right hand corner of the photo above. The concrete table in the middle of the photo is where the charcoal grill will be and above it is the custom fabricated hood to ensure customers doesn't get smoked out. We think it may be a little too high up but there are NEA regulations to the height of these things so it can only go about 10 cm lower.


These are the steel support for the granite counter top.


The throne room. Doesn't look conducive for business now because it needs to be cleaned up and fitted with lights.




It's also at this point that we started applying for the NEA license, public entertainment license and the all important liquor license. It can be done at a one-stop online portal. Quite convenient.
