We are Izakaya Tomo

What is an Izakaya?

An izakaya is a type of casual Japanese bar that serves alcoholic beverages as well as snacks. Izakaya is a relaxed after-work drinking establishment, similar to a British or Irish pub, a Spanish tapas bar, or an American saloon and tavern.

At IzakayaTomo you will be welcomed with a large variety of alcoholic beverages as well as delicious meals to go with it. As the first Izakaya in Edmonton – we welcome this unique atmosphere to the people of Edmonton!

Why we are special

Passion For Quality

Pure & Soft Water

At Izakaya Tomo, we use soft water for cooking and pure water for drinking water and ice. This is essential to bring out the true flavor of the ingredients and to not tether with some delicate ingredients. You will notice our rice is softer.

Soy Sauce & Wasabi

Tomo blend soy sauce is not as salty as regular soy sauce and has a milder flavor. This enhances the natural taste of the ingredients.

We use pure natural wasabi, which has a sharper and fresher spicy flavor.
It is a must-use for sushi and sashimi to remove the smell of fish and also bring out the flavor.

Fresh Seafood

We serve it fresh. We don’t settle for anything less! Quality and the taste of the food come from its ingredients and how they are handled.

Several Japanese tapas bars have popped up around Edmonton lately and I have not been able to try them yet. But, here’s why this place is worth a visit. Last time I went, they had a fried chicken-skin dish on special … and yes, it was as good as you’re imagining it was. Also of note, mentaiko (pollock roe) udon, the brussels sprouts, and the tuna tataki. Wash it all down with one or more of the many beers and sakes, and listen for a boisterous “Goodbye and come back soon” as you head out the door.

The sights and smells are foreign, the language is not of this city, and your only guidebook is one of the most decadent Japanese menus in town. It’s the kind of grub one might get at a pub in Japan.

It’s a dead heat between Izakaya Tomo’s tonpei yaki, pork and cabbage with okonomi sauce; and the pork belly in broth. We know a chef who pops by for a double order of the pork belly with udon noodles. Now, that’s a bowl of deliciousness. Tomo’s delicate salad rolls, seaweed salad, Japanese beers and the credible saké list complete the experience. Ask Chis to pair saké with your dishes for the full izakaya immersion.
