Suginami City, Tokyo, Japan｜Akiya Izakaya

Outstanding food! The menu is in all Japanese and Google translate wasn't too helpful, but we ordered somewhat randomly and it was a great experience

Found the place thru a couple of friends that are living in koenji, amazing food and drinks, those gyoza were amazing! the place is cozy, best experience at the counter

This is a popular bar. Last time I came, I couldn't get in because it was fully booked. This day was Thursday, and if I had been seated outside, I could have entered right away. Shizuoka Oden is the best! It's so flavorful and rich that you'll want more rice. Sparkling wine is also reasonably priced and available by the glass. I'm glad that oden is only 100 yen. Oden is relatively expensive at an izakaya, but it's reasonably priced and easy to order in large quantities. The other dishes were also delicious. The mapo tofu bowl was delicious and the Japanese pepper worked really well.
