What J likes about Izakaya Matsu LLC:
Pleasantly and surprisingly the best place I 've eaten on this business trip. Quaint, cozy, authentic, diverse Izakaya in the middle of tourist country. Small space but very good quality menu for reasonable prices. Diverse liquor menu as well. Service staff of three is friendly, quick and courteous. Chef is very much on point as the quality of food that comes out is quick and tasty. I give them credit for outputting... View all feedback.

Really delicious, though a bit pricey. Went off peak hours (12:30pm), but if you plan on coming for dinner, must reserve ahead (by phone or through their site)....
