If you want to experience Japanese culture, we recommend going to an izakaya.
Izakaya are similar to pubs and bars, where businessmen after work, friends, and families enjoy good food and drinks.
Food to be enjoyed with alcohol is called “つまみ, tsumami” in Japanese.
Fried chicken, sashimi, tempura, and other dishes are available at reasonable prices, which is great for travelers.
We had tempura, yakitori, grilled rice balls, and ramen.
The ramen was the restaurant’s signature dish and was delicious with beef tripe.
For drinks, we ordered shochu with oolong tea.
