A late-night healing spot in Chengdu's alleys, feeling like a trip to Kyoto

The moment you push open the wooden door, you're amazed! The air is filled with the aroma of grilled food—isn't this exactly the kind of izakaya you'd see in Japanese dramas?! The bar counter is entirely natural wood-colored, and the sizzle of oil as the chef grills yakitori right in front of you fills the space with an irresistible energy🔥 The most incredible part is the tatami private rooms—close the sliding door, and it instantly becomes quiet. The warm lighting gently highlights the wood grain, making even clinking glasses with friends feel like it might disturb the serene atmosphere. ✔️ Butter-grilled giant scallop—the scallop is bigger than your palm! The rich butter aroma wraps around the tender meat, and with one bite, it bursts with juices. A hint of lemon zest adds just the right touch of acidity to cut through the richness. ✔️ Chicken liver mousse is the hidden star! Silky smooth texture that elevates the experience to a whole new level of sophistication. ✔️ Umeshu highball—the sweet-sour plum flavor mixed with the crispness of whiskey, garnished with a lemon slice on the rim. One sip, and you'll want to sway your glass and hum a tune. We stayed until 2 a.m., reluctant to leave. The owner even bid us farewell in Japanese with "Please come again," making it feel like we'd just stepped out of a cozy Kyoto alleyway after a night of drinks. 🍢 (Note: Remember to book in advance—the private rooms are in high demand!)
