IZAKAYA


EXPERIENCE AUTHENTIC IZAKAYA CULTURE & CUISINE

Nama Izakaya is Knoxville’s sultry new take on Japanese dining.
Step into a dark, moody lounge where the glow is low, the cocktails are crafted with care, and the plates are made for sharing. Our menu blends traditional Japanese flavors with modern twists, designed to pair perfectly with sake and hand-shaken cocktails. It’s an izakaya experience that’s as sexy as it is social without being out of reach.
