New Late-Night Japanese Restaurant Makes a Splash on State Street
Have you heard of the hot new restaurant on State Street that is open every night until 2 a.m.? Izakaya Kuroyama brings the tradition of Japanese street food to Madison and offers a much needed new option to the late-night food scene. Owner Hugo Leung joins Bianca Martin to explain the culture behind izakaya, characterized by shared small plates, plenty of drinks, and chance to relax after a long work day.
Join us every Thursday as we explore Madison's food culture, from the brewers and bakers to the chefs and cheesemakers.
