Izakaya
type of Japanese drinking establishment which also serves food to accompany the drinks
An izakaya (居酒屋) (Japanese: [izakaya]) is a type of bar in Japan where many people go to drink and have snacks. Unlike bars or pubs which are western-style, izakayas are Japanese-style and sell things like beer, chūhai and sake, and have a bigger variety of foods than bars and pubs. [1][2][3][4]
History
changeIzakayas started in the Edo period. Before the Meiji period, people drank liquor while standing. Some izakayas used sake barrels as seats for customers.[5][6]
