Let’s Get Obtuse!
Just tried this new place last night (able to snag a last minute reservation...they've been booked pretty solid since the opening).

They're doing Japanese dishes with a focus on Midwestern "farm to table" ingredients.
Very good. I had the ramen (because I always have the ramen everywhere) and it was delicious. It's not a traditional bowl, and definitely seemed informed by Momofuku's ramen. But a little subtler with an emphasis on texture and richness vs bold flavor. The noodles were wonderful. Nice chew and flavor. The broth was silky and rich and complex without the lousy SOCK YOU IN THE FACE WITH FLAVA Guy Fieri bullshit of other local hypetastic ramen shops like Furious Spoon or Oiistar.
We had the bread and pickles to start. The bread was incredible. As was the Japanese whiskey donut we split for dessert.
Same outfit also runs a bakery (Bunny) and it shows. Folks know their way around some gluten.
Recommended.
