An Izakaya is the equivalent of a Japanese pub. Popular with after-office workers most of them were often fully booked early from 6 or 7 pm onwards. We met up with Rastam at Akasaka and were lucky to secure a room at one of the izakayas on the main street. We were told that we could have the room for a maximum of two hours only.
The menu was in Japanese so Rastam's presence was of great help. Otherwise one would have to depend on the pictures from the menu card. With luck some of the waiters may be able to speak some English.
The dishes came in small portions - much like Spanish tapas. We sampled a variety of the dishes on offer as we enjoyed our drinks.
duck breast fillet
spanish ( japanese?) omelette
tenderloin steak
eel (unagi) rice
desserts
