I had a great meal at **ShuKuu Izakaya & Sake Bar**, where every dish delivered on flavor and texture. The beef tongue was tender yet satisfyingly chewy, with a smoky char that paired well with an onsen egg . The garlic fried rice was fragrant and packed with umami, perfectly balancing richness and fluffiness. The grilled gizzard had a pleasant bite, while the chicken hearts were chewy and full of deep, meaty flavor. One of the most refreshing dishes was the fresh octopus in wasabi sauce—briny and slightly chewy, with a sharp wasabi kick that kept things exciting. Overall, it was an authentic and well-executed izakaya experience, and I’d definitely return for more.
