Oiwake: a festivity

Oiwake, 122 Japanese Village, Los Angeles, CA
Diane, my friend, celebrated her birthday at this unique bar-karaoke place. Oiwake is located at “Little Tokyo” on the second floor in the plaza mall. The people that hangout there are a younger crowd with happy spirits. John and Mike, two friendly bartenders, served the thirsty clientele and kept the bar entertained. On the other hand, Diane sang the song: “Girls Just Want Have Fun”. She was a natural, in fact, the more she drank the more she sang. People in the bar got louder and it seemed that everyone was waiting in line to perform on stage. Oiwake is a happy hangout, and they served all kinds of alcoholic beverages. The smell of sushi and sake was part of the bar’s personality, however, it was suitable. Finally, Diane finished her karaoke song and whispered something into my ear, but all I heard was a foreign language. I think she spoke the language of alcohol. The bar didn’t have irritating people, rather, a fun clientele. Diane’s birthday celebration was fun because of the good energy among her friends but also because of Oiwake’s cheerfulness. I remember people’s laughter while I was exiting the venue and was happy for the good times my friend had. I would like to return to this fabulous place for many different reasons, most of all, for good times.
