Late-Night Eats | IKUSA Izakaya - Calgary's Cozy Japanese Hideaway
๐ Sunday Special Finds Discovered this gem at 903 General Ave NE! Every Sunday, all special rolls are 20% off - we tried the Truffle Prawn Roll ๏ฟฝ (umami bomb!) and fell hard for the Kuro Ramen. That rich mushroom-infused broth with thick noodles? Chef's kiss ๐ Though portions are modest, the flavor punches way above its price. ๐ข After 8PM Yakitori Happy Hour โข Winners: Chicken gizzards (perfect chew) & assorted meat skewers โข Meh: Chicken hearts (a bit dry) & lobster tail (just okay) Pro tip: Ask for extra seasoning if you like bold flavors! ๐ถ Vibe Check โข Industrial-chic izakaya with Tokyo convenience store vibes โข Perfect for small groups - share skewers over beers and heart-to-hearts ๐ป โข Must-try drink: Ikusa Signature (yuzu sake + honey-like syrup - tastes like boozyๆๅญ่ถ! Girls will love it) ๐ Bonus Round Don't leave without grabbing Japanese snacks from their market section! Pocky, mochi, and rare sodas make the perfect nightcap. ๐ฐ Damage: ~$35pp (with drinks!) ๐ 903 General Ave NE (Open late!) #CalgaryIzakaya #HiddenGem #JapaneseEats #YYCNightLife
