Down a flight of stairs, past a coffee and focaccia bar, and barber shop there are a few high chairs lined up outside a mysterious door. I walked past this door not really noticing for nearly two years, until this week I ventured inside and was immediately transported to back to Japan.
Tarahachi Bento is what it says a Bento restaurant but the space is so authentically Japanese, from the bar featuring a remarkable range of Japanese whiskey to the jazz playing and the silent Japanese tv.
The food featured all of the usuals you find at any Izakaya, with classics like Katsu Don and Oyaka Don, Sashimi etc it was all delicious and they had Japanese beer on tap too.
