About this place
Whether you are dropping in for a filling lunch or settling in for drinks with friends, Izakaya Chikappa keeps things straightforward with an approachable, varied menu. Daytime dining centers on hearty teishoku set meals, including house-special fried chicken karaage, hamburg steak, ginger pork, and mapo tofu with selectable spice levels. Those in the mood for seafood or crisp poultry can select from mackerel simmered in miso, an oyster and horse mackerel pairing, or fragrant yurinchi fried chicken.
After dark, the focus turns to an array of savory drinking snacks that easily fill the table. Skewers such as negima chicken and scallion, pork belly, tsukune meatballs, and gizzards are available individually or on shared platters, accompanied by robatayaki items like king oyster mushrooms foil-baked in butter, egg-filled shishamo smelt, and Okhotsk atka mackerel. The kitchen also turns out fried bites like seaweed-wrapped mountain yam, classic fried chicken, and offal tempura, as well as sushi served two pieces per order for parties wanting to sample widely.
To drink, the bar backs standard draft beers and highballs with citrus- and fruit-flavored makgeolli, sours, and mixed cocktails. Accepting reservations and multiple cashless payment options, it serves as a comfortable, accessible stop for everyday dining.
