Izakaya Tonchinkan@Arcadia ★★★

Fun Special Okinawa Night. Good food. Tonchinkan does fun special themed nights occasionally. Ordered everything from their Okinawa Night special menu. Discounted Fukukomachi Sake was a steal. Izakaya Chef Tatsu-san is always fun. There was even a raffle in the end. They gave out free Nankai stickers. We won an Orion beer glass. Refillable Iced Green Tea $3. Free parking in lot. Reservations required for special nights.
