    Irasshaimase (Welcome) Yatai is an lzakaya, a place to gather with friends and family to eat and drink at leisure. A selection of dishes are chosen by your group to share (please forget the usual western custom of ordering your own entrée and main).The greatest benefits of dining this way are; that you experience a variety of tastes, everyone eats together, and you can keep ordering and trying different dishes at your own pace. If something was particularly enjoyable, just ask the wait staff to order again. You each have your own small plate to eat from and a menu remains on your table for further ordering. The Japanese culture believes that you should never have alcohol without food. Our menu is selected with this in mind. Stay a while, relax, enjoy a sake and have an lzakaya experience.

  • Vientiane, Laos Destination Guide
    Vientiane, Laos Destination Guide Overview of Vientiane Life in Laos' modest capital flows along as languidly as the Mekong River, next to which the city is situated. Visitors will find a sprawling series of villages rather than an inter-connected urban metropolis. Laotian temples and crumbling French colonial buildings give Vientiane much of its personality, while paddy fields still dot the outlying suburbs and even penetrate the city centre in places. Narrow lanes, croissant-selling bakeries and noodle-soup vendors characterise the downtown area. Most places of interest are concentrated in a small area in the commercial district, between the bamboo-and-thatch beer gardens on the riverbank and Talaat Sao (the morning market). The area is easy to explore on foot. Tourists can also visit some fine Wats(temples), such as Wat Si Saket. Key Facts Language: Lao is the official language, but some English and French are spoken. Passport/Visa: Most foreign passengers to Laos can obtain a visa on arrival, provided that: (i) they are arriving at one of the following airports: Vientiane International, Luang Prabang, Pakse, Warray; (ii) they are holding a return/onward ticket and the necessary travel documentation for their next destination; (iii) they have a confirmed hotel reservation in Laos; and (iv) they are in possession of one photograph, size 3 x 4 cm (however, it is always recommened to travel with more than one) (v) their passport contains at least two unused visa pages. These tourist visas are valid for 30 days. Note that a yellow fever vaccination certificate is required to enter Laos, if arriving within six days of leaving or transiting through an infected area.
