As the Pacific oyster has evolved locally, so has the Izakaya, revolutionized in the early 2000s; both are successful Japanese-North American hybrids. \u201cCombining history and tradition with innovation is something our chefs pride themselves on, so expanding the menu to include these beautiful 3rd generation oysters, paired with modern Japanese flavours, just felt right,\u201d says Justin Ault.<\/p>\n<p>The West End oyster menu includes favourites such as Royal Miyagis (Northern Gulf Islands) and Kusshis (Baynes Sound). In addition to fresh, shucked oysters, guests can enjoy savoury, cooked oysters, like Kaki Mentai (baked with bonito soy sauce and spicy cod roe sauce), Motoyaki (baked with miso mayo sauce and shoestring potatoes), and Kaki Fry (6 pieces pan-fried in panko breading and served with Japanese tartar sauce).<\/p>\n<p>Oyster lovers will also be happy to note that during \u201cHapa Hour\u201d (everyday from 5:30pm to 6:30pm) Hapa West End will feature oysters for 1.49, along with half-price tapas.<\/p>\n<p>Join Hapa West End daily at 1479 Robson Street from 5:30pm till late.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, please visit <a href=\"http:\/\/hapaizakayavancouver.fbmta.com\/a\/0\/19343606206\/19328362575\/default.aspx\" target=\"_new\">hapaizakaya.com<\/a> or follow us on <a href=\"http:\/\/hapaizakayavancouver.fbmta.com\/a\/0\/19343606206\/19328362576\/default.aspx\" target=\"_new\">Twitter<\/a> and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/hapaizakayavancouver.fbmta.com\/a\/0\/19343606206\/19328362577\/default.aspx\" target=\"_new\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b>About Hapa:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Voted \u201cTop Five Izakayas In North America\u201d by Bon App\u00e9tit Magazine; topping \u201cIndustry and Readers Choice\u201d Georgia Straight awards for Best Japanese in 2012 and Best Izakaya in 2013; and \u201cBest Casual Chain, Silver\u201d by Vancouver Magazine in 2013, Hapa continues to offer a winning combination of Japanese cuisine, fun, and culture, paired with local seasonal and Ocean Wise TM ingredients.In 2010, Hapa was the first izakaya to join the Vancouver Aquarium\u2019s Ocean WiseTM seafood conservation program and one of only a handful of Japanese restaurant partners in the program to date.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/hapaizakayavancouver.fbmta.com\/a\/0\/19343606206\/19328362578\/default.aspx\" target=\"_new\">View the Hapa West End Oyster Bar Menu<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marking its 10th anniversary, Hapa West End has unveiled a new Oyster Bar, offering fresh, local, Ocean Wise oysters.
