Selector is an Australian food and wine magazine. This article is a review of the best Japanese Izakaya in Melbourne. An Izakaya is a Japanese cross between a pub and a restaurant that serve many tapas and beverages. The three Izakaya it focuses on are Izakaya Maedaya Sake & Grill in Richmond, Ichi Ni Izakaya in St Kilda and the award winning Izakaya Den. Izakaya Maedaya is reviewed as being the most affordable of the three with most tapas costing between $7 and $10. Izakaya Maedaya also has a fantastic selection of over 55 sakes on offer. Ichi Ni Izakaya is reviewed as a favorite for groups and dishes range from $6.50 to $18. The biggest write up is saved for Izakaya Den, which goes into the history of it's inception, a description of the space and a review of some of the choicest of the menu selections. Having eaten at Izakaya Den I can attest to the deliciousness of the fare, although the menu prices do push the boundaries of our affordable eats focus, with dishes running in price from $12 up to $30. The article's photographs capture some of the ambiance of the Izakaya. To really appreciate an Izakaya, gather some friends and share a selection of dishes and beverages and a good time is guaranteed for all, "kanpai!" (cheers!). T.N.
