An izakaya-restaurant in the Bistro98 building across from Sogo. Decent food for slightly high prices in a nice spot. Finally got a chance to try an okanomiyaki. Not sure how authentic it was but it was tasty and filling. The misoyaki fish was nice and moist, although the portion was a tad on the small side. Also shared a pot of sukiyaki which had enough stuff and the soy broth wasn't too salty although it may have been nice to let it infused into the meat a bit more.
The lighting for the group of smaller tables was cool fluorescent which didn't do much for the atmosphere. The larger tables in more intimate boothes have nicer halogen spotlights. I think it would've been better to have a larger group to enjoy a more izakaya-type atmosphere (i.e. more beer) instead of just the two of us having a quick meal after-work. Although they do advertise quite heavily in the paper extolling their set-lunches for two.
