Virgin Izakaya Bar Kharkiv is the biggest traditional izakaya bar in Ukraine with a total area of 520 square meters and more than 5 meters of ceiling height. Our mission was to create a Japanese conceptual space that would look like a real Japanese neighborhood with its inherent authenticity. "Izakaya” is translated from Japanese as “a place in a liquor store” where you can come and drink a glass or two of wine. Over time, such izakaya places began to serve small portions of food prepared right in front of the guests in the open kitchen.
