"Japanese expats gush that Ippuku reminds them of izakaya (Japanese gastropubs) back in Tokyo. Choose from a menu of yakitori (skewered meats and vegetables) as you settle in at one of the traditional tatami tables (no shoes, please) or cozy booth perches. Order shōchū, a distilled alcohol usually made from rice or barley."

“Live dangerously” at this “friendly” Japanese izakaya near the Downtown Berkeley BART station, where “two guys and a hibachi” reward “adventurous eaters” with “amazing” yakitori and other dishes featuring “various chicken parts” that might challenge your “comfort zone”; just “bring plenty of yen”, as the fare and the “interesting” shochus and sakes can “add up quickly.”

"Think sashimi at any other sushi joint, but instead of fish, you’re eating chicken. The chefs at Ippuku quickly sear the outside of the chicken meat, and then thinly slice it. The sashimi style holds up to its sushi brethren and is simply buttery, refreshing and tasty against the salty citrus ponzu sauce."
