Discovered a life-worthy izakaya

The moment I stepped into the courtyard, I was stunned—how could such a magical place be hidden here? Wooden structures + warm yellow lanterns, even the cobblestone path exudes the ceremonial vibe of a Japanese garden. All work fatigue vanished the second I crossed the threshold! 🍡🍢🍡 Started with two skewers of salt-grilled "lanterns" to whet the appetite ✨ The moment you bite in, the egg yolk bursts on your tongue. The aroma of the charcoal-grilled "lanterns" is utterly irresistible. 🦐🦐🦐 Must eat the black tiger shrimp while it's hot! The shrimp, larger than a palm, glows red from the grill. The meat is so springy it dances in your mouth—salt-grilled perfection locks in the freshness. Wagyu cubes with bell peppers are the happiness code for meat lovers. 🐮🐮🐮 Crispy outside, tender inside, the wagyu bursts with juices, perfectly balanced by the bell peppers' refreshing crunch. Special shoutout to their cocktail bar! 🍸🍸🍸 The mixologist's live fire performance is downright cool. The moment flames leaped up, the whole room gasped. The gradient blue cocktail feels like holding cherry blossom season in your hands 🌸 Now with an 88-yuan all-you-can-drink cocktail deal—of course, I'm grabbing this steal! 😽 Sitting at the bar watching the chef grill yakitori on the spot, listening to the sizzle of charcoal—all worries melt away. Hidden in an alley: **[Ge · Quancheng Courtyard · Yakitori Izakaya]** Truly a late-night recharge station for the overworked. Recommend blind ordering—everything’s a hit! Now all I can think about is the aroma of those "lanterns"—who understands this feeling? 😭
