Wanted to bring my sister to experience dining in an Izakaya! A little different than the ones in Japan, they are definitely yelling way more than is normal in the ones in Japan (maybe as a show to us Westerners). Their food is also not truly traditional, but delicious fusion nonetheless.
Ordered:
Samaaji (Jack Sashima - one of their daily specials)
Maguro Tataki (Seared Tuna)
Okonomiyaki
Takoyaki
Kabocha Korokke (Fried Pumpkin with Hardboiled egg inside)
Gindara (black cod)
Gyu (beef) tongue
Kinoko Bibimbap
Green Tea Cheesecake
Everything was pretty tasty, especially the Kabocha. Gyu tongue was good but nothing overly special. The Okonomiyaki and Takoyaki were deep fried and not prepared the traditional way, but the deep frying gave it a very crispy texture. Green tea cheesecake had very little sugar but it was a great dessert regardless!
Service was great, price reasonable but not something I could afford regularly!
Not exactly the real thing, but close enough! Oishi!
