First Look: Yopparai NYC
Not drunk, but Brave is the word I would use to describe Yopparai, the new Izakaya in the former Sushi UO space. The layout has since changed to a more veracious ‘Tokyo vibe’, with more bar counter seating than table seats. At first glance, the ‘railroad-style’ ambiance felt warm and inviting. The owner, his wife and another staff member warmly greet us upon walking in. They inform us that they are sake sommeliers and were eager to help. In typical minimalist Japanese fashion, there is a coat cabinet under your bar seating to stow away your belongings.

Event – Let’s Make Takoyaki @ JCC AUG24
Let’s make Takoyaki
Let’s make Takoyaki together at the Japanese Culinary Center.
This everyday favorite is sure to satisfy your Savory Snack Attack. Takoyaki are these uniquely bite-sized savory round snacks. Literally means “Cooked Octopus”. Traditionally the fillings are small pieces of octopus, giving it a different mouth feel to the doughy outside.
You can find Takoyaki near just about any major train station in Japan. It’s easy to eat and is somewhat of the perfect snack. Cooked with hot round molds, and constantly rotated to create the perfect seal, the Takoyaki itself is dressed with all sorts of other delicious toppings and sauces.
The most common fillings are Ao-Nori, Katsuo-Bushi, Beni-Shoga, Takoyaki Sauce, and Mayonnaise. But we will experiment with new favorites like as Sausage, Cheese, and other Fillings.
Come and bring friends and enjoy a night of Takoyaki and Cold Orion Beers!
