izakaya
(居酒屋)
Japanese Pub

A type of Japanese drinking establishment which also serves food to accompany the drinks. They are casual places for after-work drinking. "Izakaya" entered the English language by 1987. It is a compound word consisting of "i" (to stay) and "sakaya" (sake shop), indicating that izakaya originated from sake shops that allowed customers to sit on the premises and drink.

    Great food and service. Wonderful blend of flavors in sushi and traditional Japanese dishes. Nice selection of Sake. First Japanese restaurant in Denver that compares with the food we had in Japan.

    Our first trip to Kawa Ni' was during restaurant week. The choices were good and we were served at a nice pace. The food was amazing and so diverse in taste. My favorite appetizer was the SHAVED BROCCOLI MISO GOMA!
