Bar culture is thoroughly ingrained into the fragments of society in many countries. There\u2019s <\/span>tapas <\/span><\/i>in Spain, Ireland has Irish pubs, and the Germans love their beer halls. For the Japanese, drinking high-balls and eating <\/span>yakitori <\/span><\/i>in a vibrant <\/span>izakaya <\/span><\/i>is a good way to unwind after toiling the gruelling 9-to-5. The <\/span>izakaya <\/span><\/i>concept has spread to nations far and wide, including here in Klang Valley\u2019s burgeoning F&B scene. And by sticking to the blueprint, the <\/span>izakayas <\/span><\/i>in KL<\/span> and <\/span>PJ<\/span> will have you imagining you\u2019re somewhere in Tokyo\u2014minus the pricey flight ticket.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Butaya Izakaya\u2019s neon lights and vibrant signages give life to Jalan Sri Hartamas 8, which is considered to be the quieter, less chaotic side of Sri Hartamas. Furnished with wooden communal <\/span>tables<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>benches<\/span><\/a> as well as photogenic figurines from popular Japanese animes, this charming<\/span> izakaya-<\/span><\/i>style restaurant in KL<\/span> serves up affordable charcoal-fired <\/span>yakitori<\/span><\/i> and a fine selection of Japanese beers and <\/span>sakes<\/span><\/i>. The place isn\u2019t the most spacious (true to a conventional <\/span>izakaya<\/span><\/i>), so reservations are highly recommended, especially during the weekends.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Secluding itself from the busyness of Desa Sri Hartamas, this <\/span>izakaya<\/span><\/i> in KL<\/span> oozes an intimate and cosy atmosphere the moment you step in. Choose to sit on a<\/span> tatami<\/span><\/i> floor or in a private booth, and you\u2019ll get to enjoy a relaxing dining experience with crunchy <\/span>karaage<\/span><\/i> chicken, skewered <\/span>octopus<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>fresh salmon<\/span><\/a> sashimi<\/span><\/i>. For liquid sustenance, the <\/span>sake<\/span><\/i><\/a> choices here are extensive, but the cocktail mixes are worth a try if you\u2019re looking for something less potent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hamasho is yet another <\/span>izakaya <\/span><\/i>that calls the Sri Hartamas suburb home, so what makes it different from the rest? For starters, it\u2019s a branch from Tokyo, making it popular among the Japanese expatriate community so you know you\u2019ll be in good company. And if you love <\/span>seafood<\/span><\/a>, the <\/span>sumibiyaki<\/span><\/i> (charcoal-grilled seafood) here is highly recommended. From <\/span>Hokkaido scallops<\/span><\/a> to buttery <\/span>otoro<\/span><\/i>, you\u2019ll find proteins that aren\u2019t available at surrounding spots.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s the signature dish at Senya Izakaya, the Hokkaido Pork Don. Delicious and hearty, it has been the go-to order for loyal patrons.

With three outlets scattered across Klang Valley malls, Robotaya Izakaya provides a pitstop for shoppers to rest their feet and fill their tummies with authentic Japanese fare. Specifically, the BBQ offerings are done using the <\/span>irori<\/span><\/i>, which is a Japanese sunken fire pit. This traditional <\/span>grilling<\/span><\/a> method helps to preserve the natural flavours and juices of the food. If BBQ isn\u2019t your jam, the set meals here are said to be filling and worth the price.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
