This is a typical izakaya - woodenesque interior, choice of booth or tatami seating, low light. We were worried there was a cover charge because they brought out a mini-plate of chicken on salad, but it actually was complimentary. Beers are 250Y for a small Orion draft, 380Y for Asahi Super Dry. The food menu is Okinawan izakaya standards - sashimi, sushi, fried things, champaru, sauteed things, salads, pizzas. We ordered a variety of dishes:
Edamame - can't go wrong
Okinawan specialty noodle dish - very bland, and the noodles were sticking together
Tuna and avocado carpaccio - two delightful ingredients which unfortunately were drowned in salad dressing
Squid legs and asparagus in butter - the squid legs were tender and tasty, the asparagus a bit overcooked, not bad
Clams in butter - small but tasty morsels
Assorted fried bits - only tried the eggplant, which was quite good
French fries - thin McDonald's style
Didn't try the tekka-maki and yakitori, but they looked pretty standard
Prices were 380-700Y, which most dishes in the 500-700 range. So, like the Drinking Cat place, the food was not memorable but the beers are inexpensive (for Okinawa).
