Our favorite Isakaya

Some of you have heard us mention our favorite isakaya, mostly because it is within walking distance and has 200 yen beers. The first time we went we were nervous because outside it looks very plain, but when we opened the door and it was dark and playing American techno music, we weren't sure exactly what we were getting into. It turned out that it was a modern isakaya and completely safe.

Isakaya: An izakaya (居酒屋) is a type of Japanese drinking establishment which also serves food to accompany the drinks.

We've taken some pictures and a video of it and posted them here. You may not be able to get the full idea of what it is like in the pictures, but the video does a pretty good job. Notice the loud American rap music in the background. We ordered a pizza (based on the picture, of course) and were surprised to find that it had something like "Easy Cheese" on top of it! It also had potatoes and some kind of meat. It kind of tasted like a loaded baked potato, but pretty good nonetheless.


Oh and as a side note: Sorry ladies...this chocolate snack is just for men!
