This weekend, as usual, I went to an izakaya during the night. This is how we call the japanese
bars which can be very different of any other bar you've seen before.

In some Western countries people go to the bar in groups or even alone and get along with other
people in there. But, the same doesn't happen in Japan. You need to go with a friend or a group
of friends to talk while you drink and eat. If you go with many friends, you will have a lot of fun.
After entering an izakaya, the waiter takes you and your friends to the table where no one else
will sit, expect your group. To start ordering things, you can use an eletronic menu next to the
table, only need to touch the screen to select and confirm the orders. That's why the izakaya can
be considered a mix of old and modern style: the atmosphere, the walls, the table, the
chairs...all the ambient looks old, but the service is very modern (at least in my home country we
still need to scream out loud to call the waiter and order something).

2. But, before it, the waiter will certainly come to your table and leave a plate of edamame
(immature soybeans in the pod) for you and your friends to snack while wait for the orders. This
is something very typical in asian countries, very different of mine where people have peanuts to
snack.

Another different thing is: in some cases you can prepare your meal on the table. If you order
meat like shabu-shabu, for example, the waiter brings a portable oven and the raw meat for you
and your friends to boil it. "OMG! What if someone gets burned??" - was the first thing that I
thought after seeing it for the first time. But, luckily nothing happened up till now.
