Pretty good food. Friendly barman x food prepper. He spoke English as well. The bottom of the menu states there is a cover of 300 yen each. Yummy miso dip for the fresh cucumber. Oden was not overly salty. Food was tender(fish cake also!) broth did not overwhelm. Felt quite wholesome. Fried chicken with garlic sauce was recommended on the menu and came in a generous meaty portion. The grilled skewers were good but the ox tongue was quite chewy. Hot sake was a full small glass for about 450 yen. Decent quality. I had the ume wine at 450 yen. Asked the barman if they served Japanese whiskey. He produced a big plastic bottle like it was cheap cooking oil. Gave me a taster. Surprisingly OK so we had a generous pour on ice. People smoke inside which is common in izakayas in Japan. Otherwise the place was quite cosy but not too hot. Busy on a Sunday night so you know it’s doing well. Limited menu but available in English.

We had one of our first dinners here as the waiter literally jumped out from behind a door and told us he had a menu in English. We were having a hard time deciding where to eat, so he pretty much made the choice for us! We were lead to the second floor where a nice guy who didn’t speak very much English served us. He was a kind man who seemed a bit confused and was constantly asking the chef for input. The food itself was pretty tasty and cheap. They also had some sort of lemon sour drink that the GF got that she enjoyed. This is a nice little authentic spot that I’m glad we tried. In Tokyo where there is about 500 restaurants per city block, you really don’t know where to eat at times.
