Okay, is it just me or are Izakayas sprouting up like no one's biznet?! There's Izakaya Sozai and Nombe...and I think Namu counts as one. Ippuku has been landing on every critic's list for 2010. Now Chotto is opening in the Marina. I love me some Izakayas, but I'm starting to worry that this trend might get overdone. However, I understand the hype. They're a great place to hang out and drink. It's a lot more chill than a bar, and the food is usually delicious. I guess I shouldn't complain, since they usually bring back happy memories of Japan for me. That being said, cheers to Chotto. And, if you're in Berkeley and feel like getting your izakaya on, check out Ippuku. It's one of the few places in the bay that actually reminds me of Japan.
