Izakaya Bar Restaurants

Great food, great service, and an amazing range of hard-to-come-by regional saké - all in a stylish and intimate venue. Menu and service in excellent English, despite the crowd being 100% locals when we were there. Just follow the staff recommendations for the saké, as they are really knowledgeable. Better to go on a full stomach though, as there will be a lot of good saké involved!

Excellent selection and very cool concept! I love how this bar rotates their selections based on season and prefecture so that customers can enjoy time and time again and discover new favorites. The course meal was delicious and I wish there could have been more especially for those who are more lightweight. I normally am not one to like sake so much but learning the history and reasoning behind each choice was incredible and every taste was incredible!

Easily one of my favorite meals in Japan! Do be aware that it’s an omakase, but everything was fantastic and very reasonably priced. The staff were incredibly friendly and spoke enough English to help understand the menu and what you’re eating. The head chef at the end also thanked us for coming as we left. A fun and unique experience that I would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Great food and atmosphere! Recommend booking in advance as it was full when we came in (with a reservation).

Incredible local cuisine and friendly, hospitable staff

The food was excellent and of amazing quality. It was everything we looked for in Osaka cuisine. The beef however stood out the most and was exceptional. We had a great time and would highly recommend it.

Amazing experience, the staff was top level, they took the time to explain the food options to us and recommend they many varieties of sake available. The food was exceptional and the ambience charming. Could recommend it enough.

Place was very cozy with an awesome vibe to it. Great atmosphere! Food and drinks were great! Great Service too! Thank you! Looking forward to our next visit in the future!!

Very comfortable and enjoyable setting, yakitori grilled to perfection. Very intense chicken flavours married with smoke and char, served texturally perfect. Would be happy to return

Impeccable service, a delicious and generous meal. Thank you for everything.

Food and service was excellent! Would highly recommend Shokudo Akari to diners interested in a high level Izakaya experience. Food was delicious and presentation superior.

Very good robatayaki restaurant with very friendly service
