"Edo Kobayashi, who grew up in the city of Ensenada, on Mexico’s Pacific coast, opened Hikoyo — an intimate izakaya-style counter in Mexico City’s Cuauhtémoc neighborhood not far from the Japanese embassy — nearly 10 years ago. “I saw the opportunity to bring yakitori, and later sushi and ramen,” Kobayashi says. Alongside traditional Japanese dishes, patrons can order more locally influenced items like grilled avocado, baby corn, and jalapeños." - Travel + Leisure Editors
