Mari's Mogura - Review - Japantown - San Francisco - The Infatuation

"You’ll find this hidden izakaya and karaoke lounge at the end of a long white hallway and past two ropes (you have to ring a buzzer to get them to let you in). Mari’s Mogura is a tiny bar with bites like chicken karaage, onigiri, and takoyaki, plus brightly colored drinks like the Geisha Dance with Midori and calpico. But the real reason to come here is for the weekend karaoke. It’s intimate, with about 10 seats at one bar (plus a few more in the back). You can request to sing a song by talking to your server—$3 cash—and in exchange, you’ll receive a QR-code songbook and microphone to sing at your seat." - Ricky Rodriguez
