A subterranean Japanese izakaya where Tokyo-inspired small plates, cocktails, and karaoke fuel lively West Loop nights. Located beneath Momotaro in West Loop, The Izakaya channels Tokyo’s Yokocho street scene through narrow lounge-style alleys, moody neon, vintage signs, and a central bar. The menu moves across Japanese shared plates, ramen, hand rolls, skewers, and playful dishes like the Momo Royale burger with a house-made bao bun and satsumaimo fries. With crafted cocktails, sake, Japanese whiskey, karaoke nights, and late Friday and Saturday hours, it is a lively destination for drinks and a night out.
