Now there’s one more reason to visit low-key Japanese joint Izakaya Seki: happy hour.

Every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m., the restaurant will offer a small bite plus a Sapporo draft or glass of shochu for $5. This week, guests can choose from a yakitori skewer, mini tomato wrapped in bacon, or tuna sashimi as part of the deal.

Snag a seat around the downstairs kitchen to see chef/owner Hiroshi Seki in action.
