Wakamono is a casual Japanese eatery created by 30 year ocean stowaway Kai Togami.
Kai Togami became an orphan when a tsunami washed his remote fishing village into the sea off the coast of Okinawa in 1978.
His nearly 30 year journey on the high seas and far off edges of the world was not easy yet inspirational. Shaped by courage and determination he was a restless boy who raised himself into a man of adventure.
Today, Mr. Togami lives in the neighborhood and still owns and captains this restaurant which menu is inspired by his travels. He and his wife Miyuki enjoy writing poetry, drinking tea and sailing on his days off.
