Izakaya at the Dane: Inspired by Tradition, Shared with Friends
The izakaya is Japan’s answer to the neighborhood pub. It’s a cozy, come-as-you-are spot where drinks flow freely and small plates fuel the conversation. This dinner is our tribute to that tradition, bringing a taste of Japan to Madison by way of our sister pub in Sendai.
Crafted by chef Matt Pace, who trained under Madison’s own Shinji Muramoto – who now lives in Japan and helps run our Dane in Sendai – each dish blends Midwestern warmth with Japanese technique. From crispy karaage to kushiyaki skewers, every course is meant to be shared, savored, and washed down with a cold, well-matched beer. It’s a celebration of cross-cultural comfort.
