Visiting an Izakaya 101: Tips and Advice from Sake on Air

Join Imada-san and Sebastien (and a late arriving guest ) as they talk all things Izakaya. These Japanese drinking and eating establishments are the foundation of sake culture and the trio has a lot to say about where to go, what to order, and how to have a good time. They talk about which foods go well with sake and many of the unwritten rules of dining out in Japan. When JSS’s map of recommended izakaya is released later this year we will link it here: We’d love to hear your experiences at izakaya! Let us know at questions@sakeonair.com or send us a message on our Instagram , Facebook, or Substack ! We’ll be back very soon with plenty more Sake On Air. Until then, kampai ! Sake On Air is made possible with the generous support of the Japan Sake & Shochu Makers Association and is broadcast from the Japan Sake & Shochu Information Center in Tokyo . Sake on Air was created by Potts K Productions and is produced by Export Japan. Our theme, “Younger Today Than Tomorrow” was composed by forSomethingNew for Sake On Air.
