"There’s nothing new about Hiyakawa. The Japanese restaurant in Wynwood turns five this summer. But to celebrate, they’re doing something new: cosplaying as an izakaya through August 31. There are new dishes on the menu, like hiyayakko tofu, pork gyoza, wagyu tataki, and some of the crispiest chicken karaage we’ve ever had the pleasure of eating. The music is a little louder and the staff get to wear T-shirts, but the special izakaya dishes expose Hiyakawa’s true form as a fancy Japanese restaurant. It’s all exceptional, and we’re a little sad we’ll have to say bye to these dishes in a month." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer, mariana trabanino, virginia otazo, virginia otazo, virginia otazo, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
