good izakaya on the westside?

[puppichow]

Anybody have suggestions for good izakaya? I live around west LA and have been to most of the japanese restaurants on sawtelle, looking for something new...

Musha gets my vote.

There are several on the Westside, not on Sawtelle: Sasaya, Sake House, Nanbankan, Ita-Cho, Wakasan, Musha (Santa Monica) ... I know I am forgetting a few and that someone else will continue the list.

There's also Raku on the corner of Olympic and Barrington. Zu Robata also opened on Wilshire next to Amandine (I haven't been yet but have seen a few posts).

i vote for terried sake house or sasaya. with the former being much more casual.
