Izakaya

居酒屋 Izakaya is the most popular after-work meeting place with friends and colleagues in Japan. The name is made up of the Japanese terms i (to sit) and sakaya (sake store) and literally means "sake store to sit in" - but is so much more. Izakaya - the Japanese pub - stands for family hospitality and umami cuisine to share, which is also unparalleled outside Japan. In this excellently designed book, the authors explain how sake, ramen, tapas, sashimi and many other culinary delights are also a talking point at home. With lots of recipes and information about Japanese food culture.
