DMV｜So Satisfying! A Cozy Japanese Izakaya 🏮✨

Ever since my trip to Japan, I’ve been dreaming about authentic izakayas—so when I heard about this trendy spot’s soft opening nearby, I booked a table right away! 🎌 Before talking about the food—can we just appreciate the interior? It totally transports you to a street in Shibuya! 🍻 Each booth is a private themed room—super cozy for dates or hanging out with friends. 🥰 Must-tries: 🍸 Lychee Cocktail – A little sweet, not too strong—every girl’s gonna love this one! 🍢 Yakitori Platter – A must-order! So tasty, especially the grilled chicken wings—I could eat skewers after skewers! The savory glaze is just so yummy. 🍱 Unagi Don – A huge bowl of eel rice, perfect for two with lighter appetites. The rice is mixed with Japanese seaweed flakes, and together with the eel and tamagoyaki, it’s pure satisfaction 😌 🍜 Mentaiko Cream Udon – Even as someone who usually avoids cream-based noodles, I found this one light and not heavy at all—delicious! 📦 Signature Sampler – Just okay, but good for sharing if you’re in a big group. 🚫 Skip the Hako Sushi – The rice was surprisingly bland and overly stylized—not worth it. 📍 Izakaya Nana 13882 Metrotech Dr, Chantilly, VA 20151 Have you been to Izakaya Nana?
