Leave your shoes at the door if you choose to sit on the floor in one of Ippuku’s traditional Japanese tatami rooms and enjoy an extra special experience from the Orient just a 2-minute walk from Downtown Berkeley Station. Charcoal-grilled yakitori is the super star on the menu at this izakaya, but don’t forget to also try bites like the skewered cheese drizzled with honey for additional indulgent delights. Celebrating? Sip on some sake and shochu to complete the evening.
