Koto City, Tokyo, Japan｜番外地

A local bar with beer on draft, sake, and prepared foods at very cheap prices. This is definitely a "locals" bar, so much that patrons asked "why are you here?" In the friendliest way possible. Service was great (I don't speak Japanese but got delicious food and was treated well by staff and patrons alike). Normally I'd recommend a place like this, but tourists shouldn't go here solely to preserve it's atmosphere. (Great for solo or parties of two).

Nice

I came here because I wanted to open a cheap izakaya. I arrived right after they opened at 3pm on a weekday. There were 3 other customers besides me. Drinks are ordered at a dedicated counter and paid on the spot. Tell the staff what you want to cook and pay when they bring it to you. I ordered a beer, but it was a small mug, so next time I had a shochu high. It was good because you can sprinkle as much lemon as you like. For the dishes, I ordered menma, sashimi, and horse sashimi. This amount of sashimi costs 500 yen. wonderful. Menma was also quite generous. Unfortunately, the horse sashimi was frozen and not fully thawed. Beer and shochu high 200 yen each. Menma 100 yen. Sashimi 500 yen. Horse sashimi 300 yen. It was as good as rumored. The clerk also responded with a kind smile. I will definitely come again. thank you very much.
