Columbia O: Japanese Food

We went exploring a new area of Shanghai we heard so much about: Columbia Circle. Columbia Circle is located in Yan’an area.

Heiseiya is a Chinese version of a typical izakaya. Perfect for a meal or spare your time drinking in Japanese styled restaurant. Decoration resembles any izakaya, food tries to be authentic (not completely, according to my Japanese friend) and music are old Japanese songs from the 70’s-80’s.

During our visit the restaurant was super crowded, we had to wait a few minutes while a table became available. Food was quite nice, specially the fish and the rolls. There’s no sushi 🍣 or many traditional dishes available, either. Nevertheless, their liquor many is quite complete. A bottle of any umeshu (wine plum) is 300RMB, and it’s quite big.

Dishes are affordable, some are small but others are big. Better to come in company, to share a few dishes. In case you decide to come alone, you can sit in entrance bar to enjoy your food and drinks 🍺 on a very Japanese style.

📍 Yan'an West Road 1262 Haonan 90 Meters, Changning
