One example of a classic izakaya drinking restaurant with tasty food and a funky, authentic old style interior. A casual place to bring a group of friends and enjoy drinks with some small plates.
The menu is all in Japanese and the staff may not speak English. You may need to use the Google translate camera app or similar to understand and order. Also see Basic Japanese language ben.icon
If you see a place like this with a rough-looking plastic sheet over the door and evidence of lots of foot traffic on the ground, that's a good sign!
