This Cosy Izakaya-Style Bar In PJ Will Teleport You To The Streets Of Tokyo

If there’s one of the many things to love about Japan, it’s their little izakayas, which are casual bars that serve small dishes and alcoholic beverages

Izakayas are scattered all over Japan, especially in urban areas like Tokyo, where locals will get together for drinks after work.

With everything going on in the world right now, it appears that you won’t have to leave Malaysia to experience a taste of this!
