Chicago | Izakaya at Momotaro 🏮

Tried to walk into Kumiko around 7 PM but the waitlist was until almost 10 PM. To kill time, we wandered and stumbled upon this spot — and what a pleasant surprise! 🍣 Jewel Bako – A chirashi bowl-style dish with fresh sashimi over rice. 🍝 Uni Pasta – Surprisingly tasty! Creamy cheese, uni, and shrimp blended really well — flavorful and great with drinks. 🍹 Cocktails: White Lotus – Rum-based, light and refreshing, highly recommend.😘😁 Nominication, Kaba Old Fashioned – Both with strong bourbon/scotch notes; personally found them a bit too bold, but worth a try if you like smoky whiskies. Overall a great find — perfect for post-work drinks and chats with colleagues or friends! #ChicagoEats #Izakaya #JapaneseFood #CocktailBar #ChicagoNightlife 🥢
