Right at the entrance, the bar is lined with impressive bottles—after all, you have to drink at an izakaya~ Omura Take offers an extensive selection of plum wines; plum wine lovers must not miss it!!

Salt-Grilled Beef Ribs $200
Minimal seasoning lets you taste the pure flavor of the beef. The ribs are tender yet chewy, perfectly salted—not too salty—and pair wonderfully with drinks while whetting the appetite~
Cheese Beef Meatballs $180
These meatballs are incredibly delicious! A flavor kids will love~ The cheesy sauce on top is rich and pairs perfectly with the super bouncy meatballs—every bite is juicy and tasty!
Salt & Scallion Pork Tongue
Pork tongue lovers must order this! The tongue has a nice chew, complemented beautifully by the onions~
Wasabi Chicken Breast
The chicken breast is tender and delicate, never dry. Served with seven-spice powder and wasabi—it’s genuinely spicy~ Refreshing and addictive after each bite~
Rose Salt Zucchini
Yakitori pairs perfectly with zucchini to cut the richness~
Old Ink Thin Pancake $280
A must-order recommendation!!! I saw it on IG and it looked so good I had to try it~ The ultra-thin, super crispy crust overflows with fillings. The aroma hits you the moment it arrives!
The cheese pull is incredibly tempting~ The crispy crust is packed with cheese, meat slices, and soft-cooked onions—pure satisfaction in every bite~ The portion is generous; you’ll definitely leave full!
Rosemary Chicken Steak $180
This chicken steak is incredibly fragrant and goes great with rice! The rosemary aroma is rich, the skin super crispy, and the chicken thigh juicy and bouncy. I could easily eat ten bowls with white rice~
The chicken is very tender and not dry, with a delightful Q-bouncy texture—refreshing and not greasy~
Salt-Grilled Fish Collar $200
My boyfriend loves fish collar. Simply seasoned, the meat is fresh and sweet with a crispy skin—perfect with drinks and rice~
Moon-View Chicken Strips $160
This creative dish is also great with rice! It feels like something you'd find at a stir-fry restaurant—makes you want to order a bowl of white rice!!
After mixing the raw egg, the chicken strips are coated in egg yolk—each bite is silky smooth. The flavor is bold and pairs perfectly with beer~
Sukiyaki Beef Belly $180
I love sukiyaki, and this dish is another rice-killer~ The soft onions pair with the sweet, flavorful beef belly—impossible to stop eating~
Look at the evenly marbled beef belly—so tender, juicy, and finely textured. It would also go great with stir-fried udon~
Mentaiko-Style Crispy Fries $120
I always order fries at izakayas, and here they come with mentaiko sauce!!! So luxurious~ My boyfriend and I both love mentaiko, and it pairs amazingly with the super crispy fries~
Chocolate Popo Balls $100
The post-meal dessert is the perfect finishing touch. My boyfriend and I loved it so much—dessert is a second stomach, and I feel like I could eat ten plates of these chocolate popo balls alone because they’re just that good! Available only on weekdays~~ The freshly baked crispy chocolate balls have a texture similar to sweet potato balls but more substantial, topped with whipped cream and condensed milk. Surprisingly not overly sweet, adding even more richness to the texture~
The highlight!! They actually burst with filling!!! The chocolate lava is incredibly delicious—hot and careful not to burn your mouth~ Crispy outside, Q-bouncy inside, simply amazing!!! Everyone must order this!!!
KIRIN Ichiban Shibori Beer $180
Orange Guava Shochu Sour $180
You can't visit an izakaya without drinking! The Ichiban Shibori comes in a full bottle~ My boyfriend was thrilled~
Girls should try the shochu sour series. The orange-guava flavor I ordered is fantastic—sweet and sour, refreshing, and not heavy. Girls will definitely love it~
Omura Take Yakitori Izakaya’s dishes are excellent. Even without drinking, it’s great just for the food. No wonder many parents bring their kids for dinner. Despite being an izakaya, it’s not too noisy or smoky. The comfortable dining environment makes you want to return again and again! Highly recommended~
