Why Japanese Izakaya Culture Is More Than Just Drinking After Work

  Izakaya and the Culture of Entertaining in Japan In Japan,  izakaya  — casual restaurants where people gather to eat and drink — are a common sight. But from an international perspective, izakaya are a unique blend of two worlds: in many Western countries, meals are typically enjoyed at restaurants, while alcohol is reserved for bars or pubs. The combination of food and drink in a single, laid-back setting is part of what makes izakaya culture so special. Izakaya menus are extensive, with dishes meant to be shared among groups.

And I recommend the taste is KOTTERI which includes more back fat. I want you to try it. Zundo-ya has takana(Japanese giant red mustard ), red ginger, and fresh garlic on the table. If you are a cook, you know that everything tastes better when it is freshly grated or scrubbed. As time goes by, flavors and tastes are lost to some extent or another. At Zundouya, peeled cloves of garlic are placed in ...
