Izakaya, Tokyo


Finally, after so many posts calling them "those Japanese Tapas places", I have learnt their proper Japanese names: Izakaya!

K took us to an Izakaya for dinner, and I'm sure it must've been her wonderful company and ordering skills, not to mention her incredible knowledge of fabulous eateries, that always create such fond memories of dining and shopping with her whenever we are in Tokyo!

K informed us that this complimentary dish was a traditional Japanese appetiser ... she was afraid it might not suit our palettes, but we found it most delicious!


Beer served in a Japanese ceramic cup!


Deliciously refreshing Japanese green tea!


Delicious seafood salad ...


Deep fried breaded oysters .... yum yum yum yum ...


My eternal favourite: grilled chicken with leek .... this particular izakaya did this so well!


Another favorite dish of mine - mixed mushrooms in an aromatic broth ...


Grilled chicken drumsticks ...


Minced chicken patty with a poached egg on top ... this was GOOD!


Mentaiko rice with a delicious broth ....


A Fabulous Fabulous Meal! Thanks K!!!
