Among the new Japanese eateries that are springing up these few days, this one’s a little different. Look out for your next hang out spot at Daya Izakaya, a Muslim-owned Japanese diner along Jalan Kayu.
The diner is designed with wood furnishings and minimalist accents in the distinctively casual style of the izakaya. It all looks very welcoming, primed for being a place to unwind after a long day.

Though there’ll be no alcohol, you can look forward to a delightful ambience and delicious food at Daya Izakaya.
They serve quite the variety of popular Japanese light bites like tempura, sashimi and sushi, along with heavier rice and soup options.

One of Daya Izakaya’s most inviting offerings so far is the Ebi Tempura, promising to be crispy and succulent at the same time. For a quick bite that’s not too heavy on the carbs, these shrimps fried in a light batter are a satisfying option.

For a more substantial option, the Spicy Salmon Maki Roll looks fresh and appealing. I love how sushi provides the carbs without the full commitment of a rice bowl.
Daya Izakaya promises to use the freshest ingredients in their dishes to provide the best possible customer experience.

Of course, there’s something for those looking for a heartier meal at Daya Izakaya. Try the Garlic Fried Rice, Gyu Nikomi, or Nabe (Japanese hot pot) for a more filling meal.
As Daya Izakaya is still in their soft launch phase, they’re still working hard to finalise their menu and prices. You can follow their Instagram and Facebook pages to stay updated on their developments.
After a long day, good food and good company might just be the best way to unwind. Enjoy delectable Japanese dishes while catching up with friends in the casual and relaxed environment at Daya Izakaya.
