Izakaya Hamachi<\/strong> is a casual Japanese restaurant in Salcedo Village, Makati that is renowned for its fresh Japanese food, sake, and beers imported directly from Japan.<\/p>\n

As its name suggests, it specializes in hamachi or yellowtail with the Buri Kama<\/em> or the grilled collar, being a favorite among many for its fatty content and melt-in-the-mouth consistency.<\/p>\n

As the restaurant is likened to an izakaya, a casual pub in Japan, guests may expect a variety of Japanese street food like the yakitori<\/em> or\u00a0 grilled chicken skewers<\/strong>, best paired with alcoholic beverages, perfect for a night out with friends.<\/p>\n

Another snack you might wish to try is their takoyaki,<\/strong><\/em> a chewy crowd-favorite made from ingredients sourced from Osaka, Japan with the exception of octopus from the Philippine seas to keep the quality consistently fresh and flavorful.<\/p>\n

However, unlike traditional izakayas, Izakaya Hamachi also serves impressive sushi boats and succulent wild steaks,\u00a0offering a unique twist on the classic izakaya experience.<\/p>\n
