Featured Video: Ronin
The Ronin were masterless samurai forced to carve out a path of their own. So too does this Royal Oak eatery, combining contemporary bistro sensibilties with a uniquely woodsy ambiance.
Ronin: A masterless samurai during the feudal period (1185–1868) of Japan. Without someone to serve, these warriors were forced to carve out a path of their own.
The same can be said of the latest addition to Royal Oak’s ever-growing restaurant scene. Design, atmosphere and sushi are the emphasis here. Ronin understands that the line between dark and initimate is a fine one and owner Jame Hayash has staked out a decisively relaxed terrain, one that is simultaneously woodsy and urbane.
Hayash is yet another resident and entrepeneur who sees the urban opportunities of living and working in Royal Oak.
