Cletus' First Collegiate Dictionary of Japanese Chin Music

izakaya

A Japanese pub that usually has an extensive menu of little dishes to choose from. They range from vast places teeming with drunken college kids to quiet hideaways perfect for a double date. The typical drinks here are beer and shochu, a distilled alcoholic beverage. Several of the non-Japanese contributors to this book learned most of their Japanese in izakaya.

If you visit an izakaya, we would be very proud if you try this: when the waiter or waitress comes around for your order, say, “Mick Jagger.” Put your best Japanese accent on it: “mikku jagga.” If you are served a dish of beef and potatoes, you win.
