AboutWelcome to TANTO
TANTO is an “izakaya” — a casual Japanese dining bar. Instead of a set starter and main, you order a variety of small, tapas-style dishes to share with your table, and keep ordering whenever you like.
In Japanese, “tanto” means “plenty”. We hope you enjoy plenty of good food and a new kind of dining experience with us.
— Team TANTO
