Welcome to Izakaya Até
Started as far back as 400 years ago in Edo era, “Izakaya” has become a popular eatery for Japanese to enjoy drinking with small dishes that go perfectly along with alcoholic beverages. People go to Izakaya for any occasion from drinks after work to have parties. You could say “Izakaya” is another Japanese culture.
What is Até? (reads “ah-teh”) “Até” is a Japanese dialect meaning appetisers in Kansai area. People in Tokyo usually use a word “Otsumami” instead, but Até has recently become popular word everywhere in Japan. After enjoying different kinds of appetiser dishes with enough drinks to get you feel typsy, people usually go for rice, noodles and soups. At “Izakaya ATÉ”, we’ve got you all covered. Please enjoy our version of Japanese style cuisine.
Tips for travellers to Japan If you ever go to an Izakaya in Japan, ask your waiter “Kyo no atte wa nandekka?” (meaning what’s your appetisers for today?) and you’ll be considered as a Japanese connossieur!
