What do you get when you blend a Japanese izakaya with a barbecue joint? It's not a punchline—it's Kemuri Tatsu-ya. From the decor (think cowboy boots and whiskey bottles with teapots and lanterns) to the menu (corn bread taiyaki, anyone?), this East Austin spot blends the two worlds in the very best way. It's casual but laser-focused on quality. Choose from snacks and skewers like the grilled scallop and squash plated with saikyo corn brûlée. Smoked options, from brisket in a sesame-pecan rub to salmon collar, can be made into a bento box which arrive with koshihikari rice, serrano limón miso barbecue sauce, house pickles, and guacamole. Most dishes are intended for sharing, making this an ideal spot for groups.
