mapo tofu au Izakaya Masaka — Avis de The Veg Life (21 sept. 2023)

This izakaya (small plates, like a Japanese tapas bar) was located in the basement food court of a shopping mall. I had actually used the Happy Cow app to find a different resto but my husband spotted this place while we were searching for the spot I originally wanted to go to. I had eaten so much ramen on this trip already, and this place had an interesting menu.

This was absolutely delicious!! It came sizzling hot in a stone bowl and I let it cool for a few minutes while I enjoyed my sake. It was very flavourful and a bit spicy. The best part is definately the crispy rice on the bottom of the sizzling bowl!!

This was the perfect portion for a light lunch or dinner, OR you could order an appetizer too which is what I did. The entire menu is vegan and there were so many dishes I wanted to try!!
