GaiJin Izakaya

GaiJin Izakaya is one of the best japanese restaurants in Winnipeg for dinner, especially if you want a strong option in Transcona.

GaiJin Izakaya shouldn't exist where it does — a contemporary izakaya anchored in a Transcona strip mall, next door to a Wild Wings — and that tension is basically the whole point.
