"East" of Frederick, methinks.
Indeed!
We visited Izna about two weeks ago, on one of their "soft open" days. We loved the rough-hewn interior, and the dishes were properly Japanese style. The open kitchen looks good and the staff was attentive. No liquor licence yet at that time.
We had gyoza, oyakodon (chicken/egg donburi bowl) and a chicken noodle dish (sorry, I forget which one). Generally good and tasty, but not quite authentic Japanese: Izna's dishes were a bit heavy on the sauces and dressings. Still, we will definitely be back. And I will probably do some izakaya-style visits (linger and chat over appetizers and beers only) with friends as Kinkaku discourages this type of visit.
