Izakaya Nights in Guangzhou 🍶✨

#hellohalloween

There’s just something about the cozy, lantern-lit charm of a Japanese izakaya that feels irresistible — and this spot in Guangzhou captures it perfectly!
The moment I walked in, I was greeted by twinkling Christmas décor and a warm, festive vibe. Sitting at the bar was definitely the best choice — watching the chefs work their magic behind the counter is oddly therapeutic.

Their menu is hand-drawn on a chalkboard, which makes ordering extra fun (and aesthetic!). And trust me, every dish we picked turned out amazing 👇

🍢 Grilled Pork Platter

A mix of rare cuts like pork heart, tongue root, and upper tongue — each piece grilled just right, with a slightly smoky, chewy texture that keeps you wanting more.

🍚 Beef Don with Soft-Boiled Egg

The beef is unbelievably tender, soaking up the rich sauce and silky egg yolk that seeps into every grain of rice. A perfect comfort bowl.

🍜 Udon with Draft Beer

An unexpected but genius combo! The cold, fizzy beer balances out the warm, chewy noodles for a refreshing bite that somehow just works.

🐚 Flamed Sea Conch

Served sizzling hot and torched tableside — the aroma of charred seafood fills the air before you even take a bite. The flavor? Deep, savory, and unforgettable.
