The equivalent of a tapas bar or an English pub, Izakayas are the cornerstone of Japan's food culture—a place to share a delicious, satisfying meal over drinks with friends after a hard day's work. Izakayas come in all shapes and sizes, from bustling chains to hole-in-the-wall dives.
This unique cookbook features recipes from six of the best Tokyo Izakayas run by young chef-owners who often work alone, creating delicious dishes that change daily and seasonally based on the availability of fresh ingredients. Each chef contributes their most popular recipes—including a range of main and side dishes that are beloved by their regular customers.
The 74 recipes in this book include:
Beautiful color photos and step-by-step instructions make the recipes accessible for cooks of all skill levels. The book features interviews with each chef about their food philosophy and tips for recreating their dishes at home, as well as a glossary of key ingredients. Don't miss out on this unique culinary experience!
