Set in a striking heritage haven on Medan Pasar, Penko Izakaya is the city’s captivating new Japanese-run izakaya for sushi, kushiyaki and robata-style grilled seafood.
Shell out for a shellfish trio of akagai, tsubugai and tairagai sushi, then smoke out the yakitori, with succulent-sultry temptations like garlic butter bonjiri, buoyantly bouncy-fatty, plus a charcoal-fired catch of Hokkaido sardines, straight from the burning hearth, delicately moist with textured miso paste and ginger cili padi sauce.
