I love Japanese food and I usually dine out once a week at Japanese izakaya or regular Japanese restaurants. One of the things I love about eating out in Japanese restaurants is the Appetizer menu. There are endless array of delectable dishes to choose from: agedashi tofu, chicken karaage, chawanmushi, gyoza, seafood dynamite, fried oysters with panko, and so much…
