The night at Shibuya, Tokyo's famous downtown area.
Exhausted workers who are suited up enter "izakaya" in droves to have their evening drink.
Japanese people like to have a break from business and create a connection with their clients and business parters over drinks.
Shibuya is a busy town and there are as many izakayas as stars on the night sky.
Simply, it is like a mix of a restaurant and a bar; we go there mainly for drinks.
The word "izakaya" literally means this: "i - stay," "zaka - drinks" and "ya - shop/restaurant."
Technically, "zaka" is a transformation of "sake."
Though it depends on each izakaya, we can eat every kinds of food.
Recently, Italian, Spanish and French styles are getting popular.
Izakayas are not only for work, but also for a gathering with friends.

I prefer going there with my friends because I can totally relax all the time.
I went to izakaya in Sakuragaoka, Shibuya yesterday. Though Shibuya is usually crowded, Sakuragaoka area is a little bit calmer.
And this izakaya, "Tsubakido" is very nice!
Amazing food and drinks!
Cheers!
