From the moment you walk in and hear a warm “Irasshaimase!”, you instantly feel like you stepped into an authentic Tokyo izakaya—right here in the heart of Makati.
🥢 Izakaya Tori Ichizu Makati Menu Review: Tokyo Flavors You Can’t Miss
During the exclusive tasting, I sampled their signature Japanese dishes—each one crafted with the same recipes and standards from their Japan branches:
- 🍜 Ramen with deep umami broth
- 🍣 Maki rolls with beautifully balanced flavors
- 🍗 Karaage that’s crispy outside, juicy inside
- 🐙 Takoyaki with authentic Osaka texture
- 🍤 Tempura that’s light, airy, and not oily
And a refreshing surprise: their スイカシェイク (Suika Shake)– a watermelon drink you’ll want to order again and again. 🍉
Every dish tasted genuinely Japanese—no shortcuts, no fusion, just pure Tokyo flavors.
