	Izakaya - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An izakaya (居酒屋) is a common kind of Japanese bar or restaurant, also found in cosmopolitan cities throughout the world, popular in Japan for after-work drinking.
		This trend is complemented by a growing population of independent women, and young people (the drinking age is 20), who are also interested in relaxing after work at an izakaya.
		Izakaya are sometimes called Akachōchin (red lantern) in daily conversation, because these paper lanterns are traditionally found in front of an izakaya.

		Izakayas are about the only public place where the sedate Japanese really let their hair down as they unwind after a hard day’s work over two-hour long nomikais, or drinking parties.
		Like most izakayas, this one, trickily concealed in the basement of a 10-storey building housing restaurants, clubs, massage parlours and bowling alleys, has the traditional akachochin or red lantern hanging just outside its entrance.
		This izakaya is bigger than most and is divided into several little seating arrangements, most of which are in groups of fours.

	eG Forums -> The izakaya in Japan
		Izakayas can be large chains (and there are a lot of these) or they can be tiny one person run shops with only 3or 4 seats.
		There was also a family-run izakaya located in an old part of Nagoya that had been spared the ravages of war that had the biggest and best tebasaki.
		I think many of you will describe an izakaya as posh, stylish, and so on, but what I associate with the word izakaya is an old dilapidated building with a red lantern hanging outside.

	EAT-JAPAN ON-LINE **Japanese food and culture** (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Izakayas certainly come in as many varieties as British pubs, ranging from modern city ones catering to young rowdy clientele to those with a more homely atmosphere.
		The main differences seem to be that you always sit down in an izakaya, usually on tatami or on stools; you can reserve a table; and the izakayas open roughly from late afternoon until the early hours of the morning.
		The izakaya is perhaps more accurately positioned midway between pub and restaurant as eating is clearly as essential as drinking.

		This might suggest that a Japanese-style pub (called an 'izakaya') would be a less than ideal place for a Christmas party.
		He'd noted the increasing popularity of Japanese food in Britain, as well as the presence of Japanese workers in Wales, and felt that there was a gap in the market for the kind of izakayas he'd enjoyed so much in Japan.
		Izakaya will be offering a Christmas menu, if you fancy a change from chipolatas and squares of reconstituted sage and onion stuffing.

	Turning Japanese: The changing face of St. Mark’s Pl. looks Asian
		There have also been reports that a kaiten sushi — the equivalent of a sushi McDonald’s — an inexpensive restaurant serving small plates of sushi on a conveyor belt, is coming to St. Mark’s soon, and that the Into the Woods store will be leaving its space, to be replaced by yet another Japanese restaurant.
		Izakayas have become so popular that Taisho’s owner opened a second restaurant down the block to avoid losing customers.
		But, maybe the izakayas will be replaced by a new cultural movement and fade into St. Mark’s Pl. history with the Beat jazz clubs and the Electric Circus.

		A striking example of the East-West parallelism is the nostalgia-driven emergence of izakaya chains in Japan, a retrogressive phenomenon that has been likened to the new-wave resurrection of 1950s-style diners in the United States.
		While Ed Debevic's gum-smacking waitress lip off and wisecrack to entertain customers, servers at izakayas may holler and shout to keep alive the traditional Japanese concept of ikaga-yoi, whereby a restaurant's "wholesome freshness" is expressed through the boisterous repartee of its staff.
		Because izakayas are perceived as having a cross-cultural appeal for young consumers, eating places "might be a good boat to ride into the American market," says Seibu's Wada.

	EN Japanese Brasserie - New York Magazine Restaurant Review
		The latest Big Box Japanese establishment to land in town is called EN Japanese Brasserie, a great aircraft carrier of a place, which opened two months ago on Hudson Street.
		Izakayas, typically, are small, neighborly places where groups of gruff gentlemen sip sake and eat local, rustic dishes like grilled beef tongue or boiled burdock root.
		There are sautéed oysters, too (dunked in too much teriyaki sauce), and weirdly skinless chicken sausages and a series of nourishing, though very gummy, local izakaya delicacies, like potato croquettes encased in mochi, and minced chicken and big slices of daikon swimming in a thick yam-infused broth.

		Given his track record as a consultant on Taman Gang, one might imagine that any 'izakaya' envisaged by Gary Yau would have more in common with Zuma than Sakura.

		According to the European Communities, only a decade ago, Japanese izakayas (the equivalent of traditional Korean restaurants) used to serve only shochu, sake and beer, whereas western-style snack bars would serve western drinks but not shochu.
		Today, shochu and western style spirits are allegedly usually available at both izakayas and snack bars.
		The European Communities further argues that it is important to note that a considerable and growing proportion of both soju and western-style spirits is purchased for consumption at home.

		Knowing that building a little, having gone to two of the izakayas there, I originally suggested that we all go to Shirokiya, which is basically a good place.
		Normally, when I go to an Izakaya, it's usually loud, noisy, sometimes smoky, and I have like a "Life Gauge", like a video game, that slowly (or quickly) depletes over the course of the night.
		Well, since it was an izakaya, and since the word "Gohan" was written in a calligraphy that indicated "stylishness", I figured it was all cool.

		Jyu Jyu has an extensive menu with many of the same dishes you'll find at most izakayas on Okinawa, but all of the menus are written in Japanese, so ordering may be an ordeal for the average foreigner visiting Jyu Jyu.
		Because most of the dishes on the menu are the same as are served at other izakayas and restaurants, I will focus on explaining how to order all you can eat shabu shabu for yourself instead of translating Jyu Jyu's menu.
		As I mentioned before Jyu Jyu also has many izakaya style dishes, but if you're the shy type you might want to bring a local friend to help you with the menu.

		Only a decade ago, Japanese "izakayas" (the Japanese equivalent of traditional Korean restaurants) used to serve only shochu, sake and beer, whereas western style "snack bars" would serve western distilled spirits, but not shochu.
		Today, shochu and western distilled spirits are usually available at both the "izakayas" and "snack bars." Korea is beginning to resemble the Japanese market of today, with increasing availability of western spirits in traditional, casual Korean restaurants and bars.
		According to the United States, Korea's greater constraint of choice of distilled spirits availability in various bar and restaurant venues bears a closer resemblance to Japan before its last round of market liberalization in 1989.

		'Kichinto', meaning something along the lines of 'precisely', 'accurately', is also the name of one of my favourite izakayas in Japan.

		If you are in town, I recommend to the Noborito, Kanagawa branch for some great food and cheap beer - until tomorrow (late notice, I know) you can drink beer for 10 yen a go - that's 5 pence!
