"Kick back, sip on a shochu highball, and snack on some karaage with housemade gochu sauce at Zen Box Izakaya. Although it’s within walking distance of downtown’s sports and music venues, dinner here feels like you’re settling in at your favorite neighborhood diner, especially since there’s usually a seat or two at the bar for walk-ins. Order the tonkotsu ramen so you can slurp down the umami broth and pieces of tender pork. Then wrap things up with the spongy green tea tiramisu made from matcha-soaked ladyfingers." - stacy brooks
