Comments: True in name and true in style. In Japan Izakayas are everywhere, as pubs are everywhere in the UK. In my books, the best Izakayas in Japan are always those found hidden away just like Izakaya Den. Located in a basement, where no windows exist to see the light of day but life is not lost as one is entertained by the kitchen that runs quite fittingly alongside the elongated dinning hall. Food delivery is quick and well timed and one ought not to be disappointed with dishes that are matched with the perfect condiment. Izakaya Den also sets the benchmark in service. Never over bearing but always attentive and what I love most is seeing the owner just being another member of staff rather than a micromanager. This is the world I wish for. Love it!
