Ladprao is the latest hood to welcome a new after-work izakaya. Jirafu, which refers to the Japanese pronunciation of giraffe, is set in a two-story warehouse decked out with lots of raw concrete.
Boasting more than 30 Japanese beers (priced from B120-B600), the restaurant’s food menu is made for drinking; try the Jirafu Yaki Mori (B450), which comprises grilled chicken, shiitake mushroom and sherry tomatoes.
There’s also plenty of sashimi, sushi rolls and donburi with highlights like the wagyu hotate roll with stuffed Hokkaido scallop and miso saikyo spicy sauce (B560) and the spider crab salad (B260), deep-fried softshell crab and ebiko.
