"The husband-and-wife teams behind popular Durham establishments Toast and The Cookery are teaming up to open Dashi, a Japanese concept, this summer. The bi-level space will feature a ramen counter on the main floor and a menu of izakaya-style small plates on the second floor. In addition to wine, cocktails and shoyu, the bar will feature a proprietary Japanese-style beer brewed by a local microbrewery."
