From her days in Tokyo, Apo Tsuboi has retained a love for food bar culture, fine materials (blonde wood), rough textures (red brick) and ramen with full-bodied broth – including a creamy miso broth made with oat milk. After falling in love with a man from Antwerp, giving birth to five children who have since given her just as many grandchildren, she also wears many hats at her izakaya: waitress, accountant, dishwasher, sommelier… and chef, responsible for whipping up a shared menu of flawlessly prepared classics. The day we went, we opted for some mouthwatering vegetable gyoza, extremely light vegetable tempura, crispy karaage chicken, irreproachable onigiri, homemade kimchi, and a matcha brownie served with sesame ice cream to round out the meal. // Sugar Kowalczky
