About
Izakaya Bar Takezo captures the essence of a Japanese izakaya — where tradition and creativity intersect in every dish and drink. The menu rotates with the seasons, featuring grilled mackerel, karaage, tempura, and assorted small plates designed for sharing alongside conversation. A standout is the original Jack Daniel's highball infused with lemon, a nod to Japan's beloved highball culture. The kitchen's slow-cooked clay-pot rice, requiring 30 minutes' advance order, has become a signature finish to the meal. Reservations can be made via the Resmio system on the restaurant's website.
