Near Victory Star Village, there's an izakaya called Sakurajima Izakaya. This is my second visit, and today it’s Saturday, so the business is super good! This time, there’s a large new outdoor seating area, and the decor is very thoughtful, giving off a nice Japanese vibe. Luckily, I made a reservation in advance, and the owner saved us a tatami seating area. Even in summer, I still want to enjoy the air conditioning while eating skewers! 😂

The food is still above average. This time we ordered a ton of dishes, and the service was very fast. The Tsukimi Beef Don was delicious with the sauce, and adding a raw egg yolk made the beef even smoother. The udon noodles were chewy and satisfying. The grilled items were perfectly cooked; they were juicy and not dry at all. They even had a special grilled Nagasaki cake, which had a noticeable caramel aroma! The best part is that the prices are reasonable, making it an absolutely top choice for dining out with a few friends!
