Food plays an important role in a Japanese pub. To quote the owner Mummy: “what distinguishes my bar from the one next door is that I cook myself, while the neighbors often buy ready-made foods. That makes their prices cheaper.”
The menu offers all regular Japanese foods like udon and yakisoba, takoyaki, onigiri. Day’s special foods are set in front of the counter.





Although it is a drinking establishment, the choice of alcoholic beverages is somewhat limited: beer, sake, shochu, whiskey, chu-hi, for the younger crowd popular sweet liquor Kahlua. Drinks are usually served with some accompanying food like green soy beans ( edamame) or snacks. In Japan, drinking without eating is considered bad for your health, and is identified as either a cause, or a symptom, of alcoholism (Smith 1988:95), though the portion is more symbolic than substantial.
