Moto-I

Moto-i is a distinctive Japanese izakaya and sake brew pub nestled in Minneapolis's Lyn-Lake neighborhood, celebrated as the first sake brew pub outside of Japan. The multi-level venue offers a lively street-level brewery and bar, an intimate shoji-screen lounge with dim lighting and lush plants, and a seasonally open rooftop that provides sweeping views of the surrounding Minneapolis cityscape. The menu features Tokyo-style ramen, shareable Japanese-inspired dishes including crispy pork belly and drunken noodles, and an impressive selection of house-brewed sake available by the flight or glass alongside Japanese spirits and creative cocktails. With its distinctive blend of craft brewing, authentic cuisine, and quietly special atmosphere, Moto-i offers an immersive escape into Japanese drinking culture in the heart of Minneapolis.
