A type of Japanese drinking establishment which also serves food to accompany the drinks. They are casual places for after-work drinking. "Izakaya" entered the English language by 1987.

Our first trip to Kawa Ni' was during restaurant week. The choices were good and we were served at a nice pace. The food was amazing and so diverse in taste. My favorite appetizer was the SHAVED BROCCOLI MISO GOMA!

Very delicious. We had a raw fish sushi item, a bun, a cabbage/pear salad and a salmon rice dish. Really enjoyable and each item was flavorful and an unique combination. Definitely plan to eat here again.
