Post Covid it seems like all the (relatively) safe picks for Izakaya chains are gone besides Torikizoku. I know they were never the best, but I miss the modicum of consistency the Watami and KinNoKuni of the old days had. Are there any other decent low to mid tier Izakaya chains or are they mostly gone?
Alternatively, what are your recommendations for Izakaya with properly divided non-smoking sections or private rooms with decent division from other tables? (none of that pull down curtain bullshit)
