Experiencing Japanese food culture does not involve just exposing yourself to different dishes but includes different atmospheres and services.

In Japan, if you are looking for a place to drink cheaply or a space to have a good time with a large group, izakaya (Japanese style bars) with nomihodai (all you can drink services) are usually the best places to go.

Dining at an izakaya is a cross between a sit down dinner and a night at the pub.

Though yoshoku literally means gWestern foodh, it is hard to think of the menu at a yoshokuten as anything other than Japanese.
