Izakayas in Japan

If you love to drink, or just want to experience the all-round izakaya ambience in Japan, you might want to be informed of the different types (and prices) of Izakayas in Japan.



An Izakaya 居酒屋 is basically a drinking establishment that offers an array of food. Both food and drink-wise, there are western and traditional Japanese choices. However, the main focus in an Izakaya are the drinks. The common choices of food are Yakitori, kushiyaki and karaage. For drinks, the popular choices would be the draft beer and shochu.



Popular Izakayas:
-Watami 和民 (Find Watami in Singapore)
-Tori Kizoku 鳥貴族 (Everything for 280 Yen)
-Wara Wara 笑笑 
-Tengu 天狗
-Shiroki-Ya 白木屋
-Tsubohachi つぼ八

I Just Can't Imagine How He Did It


Sometimes it kept one to wonder why was here such interesting things happening in the world just like the one shown above. This Honda accord managed to crawl onto the concrete pavement and parked it just between the two wheels inside Vivo City's Carpark. Wonder if it was a prank because after some scrutinising, there wasn't a single scratch or dent on front and rear bumper...

A different method of billing in Germany

Right now I am in a small town in Germany and I saw something quite interesting about paying the money.

I was having a drinking session with some of my colleagues at a bar and when it is about time to go and ask for the bill, instead of the waiter going to the cashier for billing, they will carry a wallet (I suppose IT IS the cashier) and they will make the remaining changes on the spot.

The only place which I can think of this method used in Singapore - the wet market.

But I would really admits it is a good way to reduce waiting for the customers.I think we should have more of this kind of services in Singapore aparts from the wet markets..

Cheers
