Enter this lively izakaya, and you’ll immediately sense the vibrant energy of Tokyo’s salaryman culture. A favorite among locals, it’s always buzzing with office workers unwinding after a long day. The menu is a showcase of Japanese comfort food—crispy chicken karaage, smoky yakitori, seafood, and hearty bowls of oden. This isn’t a spot designed for tourists; it’s an authentic glimpse into everyday Tokyo life. Don’t be surprised if you’re the only non-local.
