This is my favorite Japanese Izakaya restarurant in Umeda, Osaka called "En" which means probably "Connection", "Relation", or maybe "Fate". With nice atomsphere, various kind of food sellections and reasonable price, I can always have a good time there with my friends.
Maybe there are many Japanese Izakaya restaurants around the world. I sometimes have a chance to visit Japansese restaurants in abroad, but they are unfortunately less in quality of atomsphers, food and service. I won't say "All", but most of them are so.
My Aussie freind and I used to go out for dinner at En, and I took a friend from Germany there the other day. I wonder how they would feel when they dined Japanese foods in their own countries.
