| Yakitori tare and a bacon-wrapped shrimp at Izakaya Ren |
That is the cost of yakitori tare at the new sushi and sake bar Izakaya Ren (2948 Dougherty Ferry Road, Valley Park; 636-825-3737). This brings you a single skewer of grilled chicken in sweet (but not too sweet) tare sauce. It's a simple dish, a bar snack, which is essentially the point of an izakaya. It won't change your life, but it will push primal buttons of salt and char.
Still hungry? Order another skewer, or something else from the lengthy menu. Pictured here with the yakitori tare is a skewered shrimp wrapped in bacon. It's not bad -- though it will set you back $3.85. Whether that's a worthwhile risk, I leave to you.
