Small street izakaya in Koenji

Small Izakaya in the back street of Tokyo

Possibly one of the greatest institutions ever created in Japan… the IZAKAYA! Literally it means “a place for drinking”, it’s essentially a Japanese tapas restaurant with loads alcohol, and a great variety of small plates of food for sharing. Many chain izakayas have picture menus in Japan, which also ups the awesome factor when you don’t speak Japanese. Just beware of “nonkotsu”… it looks like fried chicken, but it fried pieces of cartilage… we’ve made that mistake before. Get this shirt and get to an izakaya now!

Corner Izakaya in Koenji, Tokyo

Walking in the big cities of Japan (Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe, ...), one notices very quickly the interest of Japanese people for gastronomy. Between the restaurants of ramen and sushi, Izakaya has its place entirely. What is an Izakaya? It is a Japanese style bar, where each group is gathered in a small warm room. Between the salaryman and the students, the Izakaya is a type of bar which is not about to disappear. Generally, an Izakaya offers two things: alcohol and delicious food. Sometimes sushi, tempura, maki, omuraisu, ... Many dishes are to be enjoyed with friends! Have a cold beer, enjoy a shrimp tempura and let the evening go by.The heat of the summer evenings does not prevent the customers from tasting a good beer

The izakaya is a Japanese bar very appreciated for its conviviality. Women as well as men go there to have fun after work, to relax. Sake, beer, small dishes, ... Everything you need! I was inspired by the beautiful women drawn by the Japanese artist Utamaro. He took as models 3 women with frivolous morals, whose beauty was without equal. They are called jewels: beautiful women. A style of ukiyo-e, the bijinga, dedicates this art to the drawing of beautiful women. Here, the 3 women in kimono are at the bar: the oldest one takes care of the izakaya and wipes a plate. She is the owner of the place. The woman on the right and the one on the left are drinking a beer after an exhausting day.
