Minato City, Tokyo, Japan｜Abura-ya

20230223 - an Izakaya that offers good local Japanese sake and foods. Staffs are really busy but friendly, can speak simple English and always provide service with smile. Do not hesitate to ask for your recommendation if you don’t know what the best to order. Seafood, meats and vegetables are fresh. Really loved the oyster, grilled Shiitake mushrooms and seafood pancake. Very big boy taste. Impressive! It’s not a big restaurant, internal space is narrow but a really lovely one!

Right across from the newly opened Candeo hotel, this place was fairly empty on a Wednesday night but the food was amazing. We just wanted to grab a late night snack and this small izakaya definitely hit the spot. Bonus points bc they let you grate your own wasabi!

Deserves more than five stars. An eclectic range of dishes, cooked to perfection and served by the most kind and friendly personnel in a cozy setting. Go there, you won't regret it. I'll definitely be back.
