Yangon’s dining scene is evolving fast, but if you’re looking for the perfect intersection of vibrant nightlife, sophisticated drinks, and authentic yet contemporary Japanese cuisine, there is only one destination: TORA Modern Izakaya.
Whether you are looking to unwind after a grueling day at the office or planning a weekend night out with friends, TORA redefines what it means to eat, drink, and socialize in the city.
Here is a look inside the modern izakaya experience that everyone in Yangon is talking about.
The Vibe: Where Yangon Comes to Unwind
In Japan, an izakaya is traditionally a casual pub—a place to grab a cold beer and quick bites after work. At TORA, we’ve taken that beloved concept and elevated it.
Step through our doors and you’ll find a high-energy, stylish atmosphere that seamlessly blends traditional Japanese hospitality with a sleek, contemporary design. It’s the ultimate hotspot for after-work drinks in Yangon, where the music is lively, the lighting is just right, and the energy is always contagious.
The Menu: From Sea to Flame
Our kitchen bridges the gap between time-honored Japanese culinary traditions and modern culinary artistry. We don’t just serve food; we put on a show. Here are the absolute must-tries on your next visit:
1. The Premium Sashimi Platter
Freshness is our obsession. Sourced with the utmost care, our premium sashimi platter features thick, melt-in-your-mouth slices of the finest seafood. Beautifully presented and incomparably fresh, it is the ultimate centerpiece for any table.
2. Our Straw Grilled Signature (Warayaki)
Prepare for a sensory explosion. Our Straw Grilled Signature dishes are prepared using Warayaki—a traditional Japanese cooking technique where ingredients are seared over a raging straw fire. This flash-searing locks in the juices while infusing the meat or fish with an unforgettable, delicate smoky aroma.
3. Japanese Skewers (Yakitori)
No izakaya experience is complete without a steady stream of skewers. Grilled to smoky perfection over open flames, our selection of japanese skewers (yakitori) features juicy meats, charred vegetables, and savory glazes that pair beautifully with a cold beverage.
The Bar: Yangon’s Premier Japanese Sake Bar

TORA houses a fully curated Japanese sake bar, boasting an impressive selection of premium sakes, signature Japanese beers, and artisanal cocktails.Not sure what to choose?
