IZAKAYA KO – Japanese
Binchotan charcoal, glowing white, and skewers going over it all evening. Izakaya Ko is Jacksonville Beach's Japanese gastropub: yakitori and kushiyaki off that grill, takoyaki and karaage to share, Hokkaido scallop carpaccio, sushi and sashimi, Japanese curry and crab fried rice, with a curated bench of Asian beers, sake and wine behind the bar. Diners describe a small, warmly decorated room where the service keeps pace with the cooking, and reckon the prices earn themselves. Order the skewers. Then order more skewers.
