Went to an Izakaya – pictures are deep fried oysters (pic 1), monkfish liver, mackerel sashimi, yellow tail sashimi, and the oysters again (pic 2), then the food and drinks menu

We also had deep fried tofu, grilled mackerel, and Shabu Shabu salad.

The food was delicious, an absolute treat, with the sashimi being a particular highlight.

I've seen Izakayas described as being like Spanish tapas places, but Japanese. The vibe is small plates and drinks.

It was on the expensive side (for me), with drinks it came to £40pp + tip, but it was a nice birthday week treat.
