Remember back in 2014 when I first noticed that Caffe Primo was intending on moving into the corner space at Arizona and 7th?  This sleepy section of Downtown Santa Monica had been revitalized by the arrival of popular Cassia and Esters across the street.  But something went wrong, and not only did Caffe Primo pull out of the space at 702 Arizona, but they closed everywhere.  Since then the space has sat vacant… until now.  A new ABC application announces that Izakaya Osen is moving in.  At the time of this writing, I’m unclear if this is the same eatery as Silverlake’s Osen Izakaya.  More to come…

Update:  It will be the second branch for Osen Izakaya.  Eater has the details here.
