Izakayas are one of Japan’s oldest style of eatery, born from sake shops along main trade routes. These Japanese tavern’s are casual places for friends and colleagues to gather and unwind from the day’s stress.  Beverages such as locally crafted beer, sake & shochu are the heart of the Izakaya culture. Many describe the food at these bars as “pairs well with alcohol”.
