Taito City, Tokyo, Japan｜Yayoi

Amazing traditional Japanese izakaya which is in business from 1940. Owned from 3 generations by the same family. We experienced for the first time in our 2 weeks trip in Japan their authentic culture and delicious food. We came back twice because we saw other dishes and we couldn't leave the country without trying their amazing fried pork cutlets (they have 4 sizes but we went for the biggest). It was so juicy and delicious and it came with fresh vegetables, rice and their lovely miso soup. Their tonkatsu it's so good and tasty that my boyfriend ordered it twice on the same night. The owners are lovely and friendly people and even if we couldn't speak Japanese and they speak a little English, we had two amazing nights communicating with Google translate. It was a lot of fun! I really recommend this izakaya to whoever wants to embrace the politeness of the Japanese people and try the best traditional food in Tokyo! They also gave us precious recommendations for local shops for souvenirs. Thanks a lot and I hope to come back in Japan to visit you again!

Great tonkatsu and absolutely wonderful service by the owners. Small and homey place

Wonderful small place. You can watch how they prepare your fresh food. And it's so delicious. Owners and staff are so nice. Highly recommended
