Toshima City, Tokyo, Japan｜Daitokai

Very good food quality and cheap! Right next to train station. Good to use Google translate app to order via ticket machine as menu is in japanese only. Beers are only 200 Yen!

It's a cheap pub that's open 24 hours a day. It's quite convenient because you can relax while enjoying your own time, although it's easy to enter and it's crowded. Although there are some rules, they will tell you each time. ・It is a ticket system, and after adding the table number by handwriting, order it by inserting it into the patch near the kitchen. ・Draft beer can be ordered in a variety of ways, such as a set, a meal ticket for multiple cups, and self-service. Self is 200 yen for clear Asahi and 250 yen for Asahi Super Dry. When you have finished drinking, go to the return port on the left side of the entrance. ・At least one item per person (other than drinks) can be ordered. Holiday lunch is quite crowded. Multiple people may not be able to enter

I had lunch alone at a super cheap izakaya in Ikebukuro called Daitokai. This is my first visit to a store I wanted to visit. This is a system where you purchase a meal ticket near the entrance, write your own seat number, and submit it at a designated location. This is very difficult for people who come here for the first time. It is a self-service method where you have to return the dishes to the return slot when you leave. Your order will be delivered to your seat. On this day, I first purchased a one-coin evening drink set for 500 yen and a free fried squid item for 120 yen. The evening drink set comes with one drink and tuna sashimi. The drink of choice is hoppy white. I also bought a 200 yen replacement. Hoppy and sashimi arrived. A generous amount of shochu creates a strong hoppy flavor. There are 3 pieces of sashimi, but they are delicious. The fried squid was also soft and the batter was crispy. I found a 100 yen chuhai sticker at the ticket machine. I have to ask for this. I cleaned up the two hoppies and bought some chuhai and a complimentary spring roll. A jug of chuhai is delicious. It would have been cheaper if I had bought more of this from the beginning. The spring rolls were a good snack with plenty of filling and a crispy coating. It was a fulfilling solo drink. I'll come back later. Today's total is 1,040 yen.
