IZAKAYA (TAPAS STYLE) CUISINE

A long-time favourite in Japan, izakaya cuisine is often interpreted as the Japanese take on tapas. Essentially, izakaya is a casual “grazing” style of dining often enjoyed whilst drinking. Featuring a variety of small dishes, it can become a whole meal or simply a light snack. Dishes are served gradually so you can relax, unwind and order whatever takes your fancy. Kampai!
