izakaya is a strange word to most people in China, but it is a unique life scene of Japanese nightlife, which plays an important role in Japanese pop culture. After a hard day's work, when the night is dim, Japanese office workers gather in groups of three to five in izakaya to have some delicious snacks and a few glasses of wine, which can not only relieve work pressure, but also enhance interpersonal relationships.

izakaya can be seen in many Japanese film and television works, and there are many stories in izakaya, such as the popular Japanese TV series Midnight Food Store and Lonely Gourmet, which are familiar to foodies.

izakaya embodies a late-night culture. No matter who the diners are and where they come from, they can find their own place in izakaya. A pot of hot wine and two dishes of small dishes are the joy and satisfaction that comes from the bottom of my heart. We can't help asking, where did izakaya come from and why did it become an irreplaceable existence in the eyes of the Japanese?
