Rethink your Izakaya style offer  

At a time when consumers are looking for friendly and relaxed experiences, the Izakaya concept, Japanese bistros where simple dishes are shared over a beer, is an ideal source of inspiration.  

It’s an effective way to revamp your menu for the fall while satisfying your customers’ desire for discovery, simplicity, and sharing.  

Izakaya cuisine is based on a simple principle: small, tasty plates that are easy to serve and adapt to your menu.  

Neither appetizers nor main courses, these bites are enjoyed on a whim, out of greed, and out of curiosity.  

Delicious products to add to your menu without hesitation:   

Yakitori skewers: 

The essentials of any izakaya: pre-assembled, rich in flavor, perfect with beer. 

• Negima skewers: chicken skewers interspersed with Japanese green onions (negi), grilled over an open flame. 

• Yakitori: chicken skewers coated in a slightly sweet soy sauce.  

Hot and crispy bites

Generous and comforting, they appeal to a wide range of customers, both as a starter and as a dish to share.
