Where do you usually go or want to go for drinking in Japan? Most of foreigners go to Western-style pubs in Roppongi or similar places. Yeah! you can feel Western-style environments in Japan. You can talk to people from your country or Japanese, who can speak English. If you come here for business, your colleagues may bring you to excellent restaurants, but is it enough for you? Some of you will say, “NO!”.
When you come to Japan, why don’t you go to “Izakaya”, which we usually go? There are several levels. The more expensive places you go, the better the taste is. This time I recommend you to go to places under the medium level. Sometimes it tastes bad, but you can experience “Japanese-style”. Of course I ensure that you will be able to find your favorite food at least one there.
This kind of pubs are mostly “chain stores”, so you see them everywhere in metropolitan areas. “Shirokiya”, “Wara-Wara”, and “Watami” are very popular. A jug of draft beer costs 350 yen approximately. On the other hand if you find a dirty store full of people, You should go inside without hesitation, because this kind of stores may serve tasty dishes.
I’ll go to a “Izakaya” this weekend.
