UPDATE: Looks like we can also expect bacon-fried rice, breakfast pies, a Hash Bar counter, and fresh juice. And a market called Home Remedy.

Team Tom Douglas is still laying low on details for Tanaka-San and the rest of the T-Doug projects in the Via6 complex, but a Craigslist job posting yields a few details that have me excited. Yes, I am a restaurant stalker with no life who trolls Craigslist. For this I will not apologize. 

First of all, it sounds like the T-Doug complex originally called Grange Hall is now going by the name Assembly Hall. Second, Tanaka-San will be serving “soulful, slurpy bowls of ramen, rice and egg bowls, savory robata skewers, and charbroiled mochi cakes,” from a kitchen helmed by chef Brian Walczyk. Facebook promises "crispy fried chicken wings," too.

Food like this just begs for booze. Fortunately, “The bar takes center stage at Tanakasan, so grab a bar stool and order a libation from the smart drink menu of Japanese and Northwest beers, Northwest and European wines, ginger-spiked cocktails, and fascinating Japanese sakes. The glass doors spanning the 6th Avenue side of Tanakasan open wide to abundant outdoor seating, Seattle style-with fire pits and heaters.” 

The potential opening date is early June and the space will apparently have an adjoining game room. Now if only someone could give us grammar nerds some clarification on whether Tanaka-San has a hyphen or not.
