The ongoing Olympics reminds me of the time spent in Tokyo. Today I'm introducing to you an Izakaya (kind of informal Japanese bar-restaurant) there. It's called Izakaya 5, located near Omotesandō Station, in the trendy Minami-Aoyama district. Its specialties are fermented food and drinks. The healthy and umami-rich food I tried there boasted subtle and delicate tastes, the service was great, the price was quite Ok in that fancy neighborhood, and I enjoyed the interior and atmosphere. All in all, highly recommended!
最近的奥运会让我想起在东京的一些片段，今天来推荐一家那里不错的居酒屋，位于南青山的表参道地铁站附近，叫发酵居酒屋5。那块地区有很多建筑杰作和设计潮店，非常好逛。暴走了一下午后，偶然路过这家，看到门口的招牌，觉得挺有特色，吃货的直觉告诉我这里的东西不会差，于是决定一试。

这里的特色顾名思义就是主打健康的发酵食物和饮料，比如下面照片里的甲州葡萄酒炖牛肉豆腐和发酵米酒，还点了高丽人参鸡汤、几个鱼类小菜等，味道都很鲜美，虽然清淡却余味悠长。
