Last week, I went to a Japanese izakaya (pub food) restaurant that was featured on Anthony Bourdain's
No Reservations. It had a cool speakeasy feel, located down a flight of stairs and with a tiny sign outside identifying it from the few other Japanese places on the street. I've been to several izakaya restaurants in the city, but this felt different inside---a bit more authentic? I immediately liked it even before trying any of the food. The menu was mostly Japanese items but had a few randoms like Camembert cheese and mini corn dogs. They also like to serve Costco size parmesan cheese and hot sauce!

I thought the food was great. No complaints at all. Washed it all down with some sake from Berkeley (was dining with fellow Bears) and some Sapporo. It was a fantastic meal that was easy on the wallet. I can't wait to go back!
