Only I didn't know it was an izakaya!! It was only by your description that I realised that we'd experienced it!! Shoes in a locker, hole in the floor under the table, electronic ordering, heaps of different dishes, etc etc. Only no-one (i.e. my son) mentioned sharing the cost! I picked up the whole tab ....

We are looking into the possibility of adding furigana in the PDFs - I think it is also a great idea! We'll continue to work on it :) Xiao Yunさん,

Thanks for the great podcasts! They really helped my Japanese to improve. However, did anybody consider the possibility of adding tiny hiragana characters on top of the kanji in the pdf for easier reading? That way you can have both the hiragana version and kanji version in one. Hi!

Steffieさん, That price is per person :) It also assumes everyone had their share fair of drinks ;) テッドさん, Yes, that's right!

(is that correct?).

You said the cost is usually 3000 to 5000 for an izakaya experience. Did you mean per person or per group? Either way, doesn't sound too bad for a full evening of delicious food and drinks. :smile: Question! You said the cost is usually 3000 to 5000 for an izakaya experience.
