Refined Japanese izakaya with standout sake and specialty in inarizushi, excellent flavors but small portions, rigid booking policies, and pricing that feels high for serving size.
Oinari delivers refined Japanese cooking with above-average food quality and a serious sake program that justifies its premium positioning for enthusiasts. However, inconsistent execution across visits and a recent uptick in complaints about portions and pricing prevent a higher grade. The compact space and modest plate sizes create a distinctive but polarizing experience—excellent for sake-focused diners, less satisfying for those seeking hearty portions.
One caveat: Pricing is genuinely expensive (€25+ mains not typical, but set menu €38 and add-ons add up)
