In a world that takes itself far too seriously, the Izakaya was Japan’s great foodie innovation. Tearing down social barriers, having a drink or four, and eating grilled chicken skewers — this is life as it should be lived. Izakaya Issei transplants one of Japan’s great cultural wonders and wedges it into four of the happiest walls in Senopati. Have some yakitori and a donburi. Talk, drink, relax, and live.
