According to the San Francisco Business Times, Pabu Izakaya in the San Francisco Financial District “plans to take over a newly constructed 770-square-foot kiosk steps away from the entrance in the 101 California Street plaza.”
“It will be used as a sake tasting room,” the restaurant’s operator, Mina Group, tells the Journal, as well as “serve as an extension of Pabu for private events” and serve a “complementary menu of small bites.”
What Now San Francisco reached out to Mina Group for additional information, but they could not provide further insight before the time of publication.
