Aomori Joppari

Joppari izakaya 🏮

Spring break in Tohoku. We started in Aomori. Dinner at this very cool izakaya called Joppari. One wall is lined with sake. Diners sit around a c-shaped counter.

The menu has lots of photos and features local Tohoku dishes including harako meshi of salmon and ikura over rice, tsukemono pickles, kara agé fried chicken, scallops with eggs cooked on a scallop shell, and more.

The pickles came with tags naming the types of tsukemono. 

There is a live Tsugaru shamisen performance at 7:00 p.m. so be sure to arrive before that. It’s a smaller restaurant so I recommend reservations. The building exterior is decorated with the area’s famous nebuta three-dimensional faces.

Staff very friendly and it will be a memorable night of your travels in Tohoku. If you go to Aomori be sure to make time to visit the Warasse Nebuta Museum to see the impressive floats.
