Hi everyone! Welcome to Yuri


 
  
Today we  izakaya or Japanese style bars. The menu at
western style bars or pubs focuses mostly on western spirits, but at an
izakaya there is usually a good selection of Japanese drinks like beer,

sh and sake. There is usually a robust food menu as well.

Some popular chain izakayas like Amataro, Shirokiya, Watami, Shoya, Kita
no Kazoku and Wara Wara have locations across Japan. Most have extremely
long hours, staying open from 5pm to 5am the following day. They even
remain full of customers on into the early hours of the morning on Fridays
and Saturdays.

5 At an izakaya, your first drink is always automatically accompanied by an

appetizer in a small bowl called Otoshi. This helps buy the servers time to
deliver orders to the other tables.

Drinks like beer and chuhai mixed drinks cost about 500 yen for a large mug
full, and, depending on the label, most sake costs between 500 to 600 yen.

The food menus include everything from simple salads, deep fried foods and
stews to Shabushabu and Korean-style barbeque. With so many different types
of food, customers can enjoy all kinds of flavors from Western to Eastern.
The traditional Izakaya menu includes grilled chicken skewers, cold tofu,
edamame, sashimi, deep fried chicken, pickled vegetables, dried foods and
salted fermented fish guts.

New Year 

Up until the 1970

Ô
izakayas were frequented mostly by male
businesspeople stopping in for a quick drink after a long day at the
office. But in recent years, with the number of women and younger customers

on the rise, ch mixed drinks and wine have been added to many menus. A
lot of izakayas have also changed their interior decorations in an effort
to attract a wider range of customers, making a more comfortable atmosphere
for women and families.

What kind of izakayas are there in your culture?
