Taito City, Tokyo, Japan｜Yanaka Ginza Sharaku

We came into this little location by accident, because everything around us was closed but it seem to be karma because it is a surprisingly good location. You can choose between beer and a nice selection of longdrinks/cocktails - mainly based on lemon. The waitress only speaks japanese, but there is an english menu available and so you have no problem to order. You have the choice between little dishes like: marinated mackarel (saba), homemade (!) potatoe chips with a bunch of seasonings, traditional oden items, ochazuke and so on. The lemon drinks were great, there is one with a lemonsorbet and with gin which i really recommend. My two friends and i went two times here and paid about only 10.000 yen for different dishes and 3-4 drinks each for 2 hours of fun.. A little triffle: the second time the only waitress wasnt very attentive because there was a lively coming and going. We strongly recommend this location. It is a little treasure.

Lemon and potatoes... who knew this could be such an excellent combo? I recommend the lemon sour with honey, paired with the Jaga-butter dish.

Best stop in Yanaka for a good lemon sour. My favourite is number 3, the sorbet lemon sour. Always come here on a Friday after work, staff are always super friendly. Takeout is also okay, incase the bar is full!
