Dining News: More Details on Binchoyaki in Former Doughbot Spot
October 25, 2015
In an effort to cover $22,000 in unexpeted renovation costs, Binchoyaki owners Craig and Toki Takehara launched a Kickstarter to ease the financial burden of opening the Japanese BBQ restaurant.
In doing so, they revealed a couple more details about the restaurant. Here's a partial transcript of the video, where they describe their new venture:
It's a Japanese BBQ restaurant. We do yakitori, and kind of an izakaya-style dining...
Sacramento's also the Farm-to-Fork Capitol of America, so we're going to take some authentic Japanese recipies, use our local ingredients, and make a different kind of food with it...
So our concept is fabulous yakitori plus good sake plus awesome company equals Binchoyaki experience.
Their Kickstarter expires in two weeks.

When it opens, Binchoyaki will be located at 2226 10th St., and can be found online at http://binchoyaki.com/.
