Japanese flavors in Dublin
Visiting Guinness Storehouse Factory, the Spire of Dublin, Dublin Castle, St. Patrick’s Cathedral and Ha’penny Bridge are some of the things that tourists like to do while in Dublin. However, after you go to all of these magnificent places and enjoy an Irish Stew, a barmbrack, a black pudding, a boxty, or a cottage pie, you can explore Japanese cuisine in Dublin. The food is truly amazing in this city but the beverages are equally magnificent! Any of these restaurants will transport your mind to Japan while you are vacationing miles away in Dublin.
