A small Japanese eatery tucked away in Isarvorstadt, J-Bar offers comfort food in a cozy place…read more(love the table canopy decor of Japanese fans).
We came during lunchtime, and unfortunately (well, for me at least), they offer only ONE option for lunch per day, and this lunch special remains the same for the entire week except for the meat they serve (i.e. Tuesday = chicken; Wednesday = beef; Thursday = pork). With no other option, we took 2 of their lunch specials.
The special of that day was sauteed beef with vegetable in a sweet brown sauce, a big (compared to what one normally gets) bowl of miso soup with lots of vegetables, and a bowl of seaweed-mixed rice. Their miso soup was something that I have never had before; aside from the usual tofu and seaweed, this soup also had eggplants, carrots, leafy greens, etc. Everything, including the rice, was flavorful that I was eventually glad that there was only one lunch special.
The price was a bit steep (8.90 EUR/special), but every so often, we all deserve a tasty lunch.
Looking forward to come back in the evening to try their other dishes!
