The “Izakaya 3,000 Yen Project” started with the idea of seeing how much you can eat and drink at an izakaya for 3,000 yen, and the number of places we’ve visited has grown quite a bit.
So we thought we’d put together the articles from the Izakaya 3,000 Yen Project by area.
For the first installment, we’ll start with the ever-popular Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi area.
So far, we’ve visited 10 places in the Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi area.
Please use this as a reference when looking for an izakaya.
