An Izakaya is a traditional Japanese drinking establishment, in which food is served, like Spanish tapas, along with drink. Food is served as and when it is ready and usually at a slow pace, rather than in a specific order, but generally keeps pace with the flow of drink. In this cookbook, author Hideo Dekura shows you how to make the most popular dishes served in an izakaya, from grilled chicken skewers, to edamame, deep-fried tofu and sashimi. Each recipe is illustrated with a colour photograph and concise instructions detail every stage of making.
