What Does It Mean to Work in an Izakaya?

Instead, it’s a relaxed place where friends and colleagues gather to enjoy Japanese sake, wine, and good food.
The key is to make guests enjoy themselves — through food, communication, and atmosphere.
Creating regular customers and moments that make them want to return is what we aim for at IZAKAYA MASUYA.
