Crab rangoon, but make it a dip you can't stop eating. Creamy, cheesy, sweet chili. Share it or don't, we won't tell.
Sushi Bowl
A sushi rice bowl with furikake white rice, tempura shrimp, crab mix, sliced cucumber, spicy mayo, and sweet soy. Fresh, crunchy, savory, and creamy.
All the sushi feels, none of the rolling. Tempura shrimp, crab, cucumber. Deconstructed and delicious.
The Beach Episode

Every anime has one. Sun, sand, and questionable swimsuit physics. Roll credits on responsibility.
The Izakaya
A Korean corn dog with half beef sausage, half mozzarella, topped with crispy onions and a gochujang drizzle. Savory, spicy, and umami-rich.
The house signature. Crispy onions, gochujang heat, and a name to live up to. This one's ours.
Potato Dog
A Korean corn dog with half mozzarella, half cheddar, studded with diced potatoes and a spicy mayo drizzle. Crispy, cheesy, and hearty.
Carbs on carbs, exactly as nature intended. Crispy potato bites, double cheese, no apologies.

Where pizza meets Korea. Sweet-savory bulgogi, sesame, and a little heat. Itadakimasu, but make it galbi.
Common questions
Hi! I'm Kyoko, your host. First time? Here's what everyone asks before they come in.
- Do I need to be into anime?
Proudly anime, genuinely for everyone. We're an anime izakaya... the theme, the characters, a fanbase we adore. But you don't need to know a single series to have a great night. Regulars catch the references. first-timers just get a great dinner in a room unlike anywhere else in Beavercreek.
- Can I bring the kids?
Absolutely — all ages, high chairs, and a zero-proof menu they'll actually order off of. One thing: Friday & Saturday after 10 PM we shift into late-night mode (see below), so dinnertime is the sweet spot for a family visit.
- What's Shinya Ramen?
'Shinya' means late night. Friday & Saturday at 10 PM the regular kitchen closes and we become a late-night ramen bar. A tighter menu, louder music, anime that skews more grown-up, open till 1 AM. It's the most us we get all week. Perfect for a date or a night out; a little past the kids' bedtime.
- Do you take reservations?
We do! You just never need one. Walk-ins are always welcome, but if you want to lock in a table for a big night or a special occasion, reserve ahead. And if it's busy and you're already here, hop on the waitlist and we'll text you when your table's ready.
Is it worth a trip?
"OMG, I just found my favorite spot — worth the 4-hour drive."
Can I bring the kids?
"Our server kept my son entertained about anime. He loved his Korean corn dog and Japanese pop!"
Will I feel out of place if I don't know anime?
"Although it's anime themed, it's comfortable and fun for those who may not know much about anime."
I love anime, but is it actually good?
"I almost expected it to be a bit tacky, but it's not at all. A must for anime fans."
What's the overall experience like?
"Had a great time — the food was delicious, the servers were kind, and the atmosphere was perfect."
Would you go back?
"Wonderful experience — the food was great, the drinks were great. 10/10, would recommend."
