TODAY IS THE DAY and you will NOT want to miss it 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵 Swipe to the last photo to see the full Izakaya Specials Menu. The kitchen has outdone themselves!!!!!!!!
Izakaya is an informal Japanese Pub, known for simple, delicious bar food. We’ve wanted to do this type of food for a long time, so we are happy that it’s finally time. And we’ve got a Ginger Yuzu Kölsch to pair!!!
Here’s the Specials Menu:
❤️ Edamame with spicy garlic soy sauce. Pretty classic and approachable.
❤️ Agedashi Tofu, fried Heiwa tofu, warm dashi broth, shaved bonito, scallion and grated daikon. Super savory and warming.
❤️ Gyoza.m. A filling of smoked shiitake mushrooms, ginger, carrot and some garlic scapes from our garden.
❤️ Bluefin Tuna Tartare. Mixed with a togarashi mayo, misozuke turnips, and soy pickled shiitake mushrooms. Served with some nori rice puffs. Togarashi is a Japanese spice blend with chili powder, orange zest, sesame, nori, and some other things. Misozuke turnips are turnips that have been fermented in a mix of miso, sugar,and mirin.
❤️ Halibut Crudo. Gulf of Maine halibut served with a puree of umeboshi and fresh black plums. Umeboshi is salted underripe plums. Salty and fruity. Garnished with some more fresh plum, shiso, and watermelon radish.
❤️ Karaage, AKA J.F.C.. Fried chicken thigh pieces, served with some sweet and savory sesame mayo, and a lemon.
❤️ Pork Katsu Sandwich. Fried pork loin, honey mayo, shaved cabbage seasoned with ponzu, pickles, and Bulldog sauce, similar to a Japanese barbecue sauce.
❤️ Okonomiyaki. Savory Japanese pancake made with cabbage, bonito, ginger, griddled until set and topped with Kewpie mayo, Bulldog sauce, bonito flakes, nori threads, scallion, and pickled ginger. Quintessential Izakaya food. Great for sharing.
