Juu NaNa Sakaba Section 17 PJ - Japanese Style Yakitori Bar - Beer Promotion

Japanese Cuisine: Yakitori is one of my other favorite Japanese foods, and we recently discovered a lovely place to get our fix of this kushiyaki dish with a cold icy drink or beer.

We ventured into the quiet Section 17 Petaling Jaya neighborhood and discovered the Juu Nana Sakaba, which is located at 14, Jalan 17/54, Seksyen 17, 46400 Petaling Jaya, Selangor. As the name suggests, Juu Nana is 17 in Japanese and Sakaba is a bar, so it literally means "17 Bar."

Butaya Izakaya 豚家居酒屋 Sri Hartamas Japanese Food - Casual Japanese Dining

Sri Hartamas is a very happening place and finding a casual Japanese restaurant that serves Japanese food can be a real task. We recently found out this new place Butaya Izakaya Sri Hartamas Japanese Restaurant located at 14, Jalan Sri Hartamas 8, Sri Hartamas, 50480 Kuala Lumpur. Link to Butaya Izakaya Facebook

One of the first stress relieving matters when dining at Butaya is the ample parking place in this little-hidden area in Sri Hartamas which is famous for difficulty in finding a place to park.

Next; the decor at Butaya Izakaya Sri Hartamas is one that offers a simple no frill Japanese decor with stools type of casual dining which you can see families dining here as well.

There are many choices of Japanese cuisine that you can choose from at Butaya Izakaya; notably the sashimi offering, Udon, Ramen, Salad and so forth. But, for me; what stands out is the Yakitori selection that you can choose from.

As a fan of pork we just felt satisfied with the different Yakitori pork offering (from RM4 onwards) which includes multiple choices of different parts of the pork which includes the innards offering like liver, kidney and etc which is not offered in other Japanese Restaurant.

The other things that I like about Yakitori meals are that these dishes are the perfect compliment with a nice cold beer or sake after a hard day at work. With a simple salt, sprinkles combine with the aroma of a freshly charcoal grill is magical enough to revive your senses.



One of the key features of an Izakaya is the offering of multiple snack dishes, we have the chance to sample a few of them i.e. the Cucumber Wih Sesame Dressing (RM8.00); As it is served chilled; this snack dish is perfect to start off for our long night.



Next, we had the Spinach Dashi (RM7.00), which is a specially concocted dashi sauce served with boiled Spinach with sprinkles of sesame seeds and julienne seaweed.



Followed by a special Luncheon Meat Tamago (RM12.00).



We particularly like the next snack dish which is Pork Karrage (RM14.00) which has a crisp on the outside and tender juicy pork meat on the inside. Served with finely chop cabbages with mayo sauce on the side.



After this, we had the crunchy and crackling Fried Pork Skin (RM9.00) which was perfect with the cold beer that we had ordered.



The other non-fried snack dish is the Boiled Salted Pork Belly Slice with Spicy Miso sauce (RM15.00); another chilled dish offering.



For Gyoza fans, you can taste the Pan Fried Gyoza (RM14.00).



Another Luncheon Meat based dish is the Luncheon Meat Egg Pizza (RM15.00).



The last dish of the snack food that we had is the Takoyaki (RM12.00).



After the snack food, we also tried out the other dish offering which is the special Sashimi selection (RM75.00)



and for those that love Pork Kidney (including yours truly) can try out this stir fried delicacy.



and for those heavy eaters; can order the Tonkatsu Ramen (RM22.00) or other choices of Ramen and Don that are available at Butaya Izakaya to filled up your tummy.



Our personal dining experience at Butaya Izakaya is one of a laissez faire where we can have a leisure taste of snack dishes with a drink; while catching out with friends and families for a long night of simple delight.
