Q: Most izakaya I've been to have the bartender standing on the other side of the bar, or even consist solely of a bar.

However, I've been to two places that called themselves an izakaya where the bartender is not on the opposite side of the bar. In one of them, the bar faced a wall, while in the other, the bar formed an oblong shape.

One of them seemed to be part of a chain of izakayas, which made me think it was an inauthentic rip-off of an izakaya, a place that was more izakaya-themed than a genuine izakaya. The other was in a touristy area of the touristy town of Takayama, which also made me suspicious that it was an inauthentic rip-off targeting people who wouldn't know what a real izakaya is like.

Are such places regarded as real izakayas?

A:
Are izakaya where the bartender doesn't stand opposite the bar inauthentic?
