does anyone know if the bar ever gets crowded to capacity?
Went for a pre Hayato bang bang at 6pm two fridays ago. Two people were there when we arrived. The another two arrived shortly after. So that filled up the bar (Sits 7-8). We stayed for about 25 minutes. Not sure how long people typically stay for.
Man that Milk Bread is something special. We also got the Crab gut fried rice, my friends said it was pretty fire. But their cocktail game, WOO! one of the best in town.

Ah. Thanks for the clarification. And thanks for the menu photo, I was wondering what was on the bar menu. Looks like a future pre-Hayato warm-up!

Not recommended. Other than heavy notes of vinegar and salt, I couldn’t taste anything else.
On the other hand, pre-bang at Mori was 
.
House-made mochi with kinako powder and Okinawa black sugar.

I went with a couple chefs last time and they really liked the crab fat rice. I didn’t try it so just in their word. Maybe dish variance? Dunno

Could be. How was your crab fat rice the other night @PorkyBelly??
Maybe dish variance or simply preference. e.g. I LOVED Majordomo’s Dungeness Crab Mafaldine with crab fat. Chowseeker1999 on the other hand wrote 3 paragraphs on hating the dish lol.
