The Fun Japanese Izakaya Cookbook: Raise a Glass to Pub Dining Japanese Style

A big part of life in Japan happens in places called izakaya, which are casual pubs where people meet friends, drink together, and share tasty small dishes. Many izakaya offer all-you-can-drink plans, so everyone orders a drink first before choosing food, and then the fun begins. Drinking and eating together helps people relax after a long day and feel closer to their friends and coworkers. You can enjoy the same happy feeling at home by making the simple, delicious, and healthy recipes from The Fun Japanese Izakaya Cookbook, where food is meant to be shared and glasses should never be empty — so raise your glass and say Kanpai!These recipes are made to be easy and fun, even if you have never cooked Japanese food before. You will find crispy snacks, warm comfort foods, and fresh, light dishes that go perfectly with a cold drink. Everything is designed for sharing, just like in a real izakaya, so everyone at the table can taste a little of everything. Whether you are having friends over or just enjoying a quiet night at home, these dishes will bring the warm, happy feeling of a Japanese pub right to your kitchen.
