Okayama, Japan｜Ichirin Shuzo

Although undoubtedly expensive for an izakaya, the quality and presentation of the food were on par with expensive kaiseki/omakase restaurants that I have visited. The staff were friendly and recommended me some items from the immense menu. The atmosphere is very pleasant. I visited alone this time, but I would like to return with friends.

My No.1 life-long best izakaya ever! So nice atmosphere, staff and even customers. Foods and sakes there... It is already waste of time to talk about them cuz it's no doubt for perfect quality.

Considering the overall price, taste, and atmosphere among the izakayas around here, I highly recommend it♪ First of all, the customer service is very good. There were two of us, and when we asked for the dashi rolls, they told us that they could make half rolls because they were big. It's definitely quite big, so I'm glad it was half-sized. lol When I ordered sake, they prepared a cold one for me, and whenever I ran out of sake, they immediately brought me a new one (*´˘`*) I was intrigued by the staff who were quick to ask me when I wanted to order and were able to look around me! And the menu and taste are well balanced⭕️ There is a wide variety of fish, meat, vegetables, and rice, and all of them are delicious! I had the octopus dance food dipped in sesame oil, and it goes really well! I want to try other menu items again♪ It was around 6pm on a Monday, but people were coming in one after another, and I thought it was a well-loved shop (*^^*)
