TANUKI'S DRIVE-IN MOVIE EXPERIENCE

ORDER TICKET

We’re excited to announce that we are now introducing Drive-in Movie Nights at Tanuki Sake Bar where we show your favorite Japanese animation movies. Each car will have it’s own speaker for audio and every spot will be the best spot with our 18 foot screen. All ticket reservations will be good for two people and come with your choice of two of our tapas, two main courses, and two desserts and Ramune sodas for you to drink. All for only $75! Our servers will be there to take additional orders to keep you satisfied for the whole movie! More than two? No problem, just add additional person(s) when you order online. This is the perfect date idea and just an overall fun and safe experience where you can get out of the house and just have a good time.

TO ORDER: Under the “Choose a Menu” drop down menu choose ‘Drive-in Movie’ then select the showing you would like to attend.

Testimonials

"I’ve been sad about not being able to eat or go out anymore and my boyfriend actually surprised me with the reservation. the idea is awesome, food is awesome, movie is awesome. It’s great to be outside of the house doing something fun again This was the best date ever. "

Sam

"Hat’s off, Tanuki! What a creative idea in a time when things are dark for restaurateurs. I felt like a kid again at a drive-in with my family, only that I was eating something healthy & delicious—we’re regulars at Tanuki and love their food. The sound quality was unexpected, I thought there would be audio issues but Totoro was loud and clear. It was lovely being next to our granddaughter’s car watching a movie she loved as a child. I think the only unfortunate thing is that I was so excited, I didn’t pay full attention to the movie 🙂 Next time! I hope Tanuki continues this tradition even after lockdown, it’s so clever."

"The drive-in at Tanuki was a great way to get out of the house and have a movie night experience while feeling safe in my own car. With the new stay-at-home restrictions I love how creative they got and i'm happy to have gotten a chance to have a date night while also supporting our local Japanese restaurant. The food was amazing as always, service exceptional, and the movie of the week was super cute. I would love for this idea to stick around throughout this pandemic and hopefully I'll get a chance to come again!"
