Kita City, Tokyo, Japan｜Izakaya restaurant

I went here with a couple friends in the evening. We had to wait a little bit, but it was completely worth it. This is a great stop for an authentic izakaya experience. The restaurant only seats a handful of people and the menu has no pictures or English. However, the cooks (and even some fellow patrons) were incredibly helpful in helping us decipher the menu. Every skewer and every drink we got was delicious, cheap, and fast! The staff was friendly and did a great job making us feel welcome in their small corner restaurant. Definitely stop by if you are nearby! This is a local experience worth having.

Great local Izakaya serving skewers, drinks, and side dishes. Menu has no pictures and the place gets pretty busy, but food is really delicious so you should give them a shot!

I visited a skewer restaurant near Tabata Station. As this is a store full of local atmosphere, it is not possible to accommodate foreigners or foreign languages ​​such as English (only orders are submitted in writing and the menu is written in Japanese). However, this store was able to provide support in light Japanese. In terms of taste, the store features unique pork parts (internal organs, hormones, etc.) other than those found in Korea, as well as chicken skewers, cheonyeop, and other foods. It is basically salted and seasoned and can be customized according to your taste. Uniquely, the draft beer is set cold, similar to a beer chain restaurant similar to the Korean Grandma beer, and the combination of the delicious Japanese draft beer and the glass is very memorable. However, the small number of seats in the store is both an advantage and a disadvantage. There are about 10 seats in total. If the timing is not right, there is a high possibility that there will be a wait. This was only my second visit. The price is somewhat cheap or acceptable. The taste is good for the price. It was a store that would be a good experience to visit if you are staying near Tabata Station or have plans to visit nearby.
