After an hour's drive, we finally arrive in Tsuruga 敦賀. Although we drove after nightfall, the roads were nicely lit with headlight beams of other cars.

We walked up a flight of stairs.

and found ourselves in a cosy Izakaya which specialises in seafood. Ordering here is pretty easy. There is a tablet to press in your order. There is a wide selection of dishes.

We started off with a huge platter of Sashimi.

Followed by grilled Nodoguro. Why Nodoguro? It's in season, and grilling this oily fish brings out the deliciousness.

I love sour things, and I like Octopus, so let's get a dish of Tako-su たこ酢! The slices here are thick and big. Yum! We had plenty of other dishes here. What would you order when you come here?
