Izakaya
Serious Eats has an interesting piece about izakaya. From what I have read - and never having eaten at one - I think izakaya can best be described as a Japanese version of the tapas bar.
According to this month's Tatler (not available online) Alan Yau of Yauatcha and Hakkasan fame, is set to open an izakaya in London soon. It is unclear whether his place will be closer to Hakkasan's fine-dining, or Wagamama's good value.
