Still, when you go to an izakaya in Japan, the problems are “Otoshi (Appetizer)” and “Tsukidashi (Appetizer).” “Otoshi” is mainly in eastern Japan, and “Tsukidashi” is mostly in western Japan.

Izakaya is considered a restaurant close to Pub, Tapas bar, Tavern, etc. However, we can say that the izakaya, with its great meal menus, is unique to Japan compared to these bars, which are mainly alcoholic beverages. As with Karaoke, Izakaya can be one of the Japanese cultures, considering that it can be understood in English. In other words, izakaya is the best place to learn and experience Japanese food culture. The Japan Tourism Agency also recommends foreign tourists go to izakaya.read moreBasic knowledge when foreigners go to Izakaya No.1
