Welcome to JunAki Bar

Bento

Its friday again~! So i felt like having bar food.

In Japan, you can have quite nice food at bars that specialise in sake.

These foods are basically grilled foods, like teppanyaki foods.

In addition, they would probably have their own special appetisers and salads.

So i thought, hmm... i can try to recreate that feeling of being in the bar, at home!

So tonight at JunAki Bar there was

Okonomiyaki!
Creamy Burdock salad
Sweet Mushroom salad

Rich Carrot walnut cake
