An Izakaya is a Japanese tavern, primarily drinking places that serve small dishes for snacking. Hapa Izakaya's hapa hour starts at 5pm where a select number of dishes become cheaper than usual (50-70% off). We were a bit late for hapa hour (this week, so technically we arrived during sad hour). Nonetheless, here's what ended up on the table...
Ebi Mayo: deep fried prawns coated with japanese spicy mayo
Tuna salsa dip: albacore tuna, avocado, seasoned with nori and taken with plantain chips
Ishiyaki (stone grill) bowls: on the left is the mushroom ishiyaki and to the right is spicy pork ishiyaki
Hapa Izakaya has a good selection of Sake, amongst other drinks. Moonlight pearl is my personal favorite which has less of a kick than Gekkeikan, the sake they serve if you just ask for "sake". Hapa Izakaya also has a seasonal menu that periodically changes several times a year on top of the usual hot/cold tapa favorites. I am happy to say that the Matcha Creme Brulee is a constant thing on the dessert menu, and a must try for all you matcha sweets fans out there.
