Harajuku Taproom shares a love for traditional izakaya fare, bringing those delectable foods and the culture surrounding them back here to Los Angeles. Situated in the Tokyo neighborhood from which it takes its name, the original Harajuku Taproom provides guests an intimate hangout and plenty of grilled skewers to nosh on. The emphasis is always on fresh ingredients, creating food that is simply prepared and minimally processed. That's the very experience this Harajuku Taproom sets out to replicate, offering an appetizing array of small-plate dishes and a curated selection of beer and sake you'll want to share with family, friends, and colleagues. Whether it's a light snack or heartier meal you seek, Harajuku's delicious, made-from-scratch bites never disappoint. The assorted Japanese pickles use traditional ingredients to form the perfect snack. Soothe your soul with the miso soup, or feed the entire table with a plate of pan-cooked, house-made gyoza. Even the humble tofu is jazzed up in a sizzling tofu steak with seasoned egg and bonito flakes. Skewers steal the show, veering from lightly-seasoned beef skirt and chicken hearts to spicy yuzu pepper-sauced wings and scallops. Harajuku sports 22 taps, featuring Baird Beer from Shizuoka, Japan, and has the most extensive selection of Japanese craft beer in the country, plus small-batch specialty sake worthy of the raves.
