Nikko, Tochigi, Japan｜屋台しげちゃん

Do visit when you are nearby! Stopped by this really cosy Izakaya while exploring the town and was surprised by the unique interior. With less than 8 seats (approx.), the shop has been managed for 47 years by a friendly owner (Shi-ge-chan) who goes out of his way to ensure that you will enjoy the time spent at his shop. Granted that it's probably not a place for you to fill your stomach if you are hungry, but if you are looking for a great drinking experience at an izakaya and enjoy talking with people this is the place for you to check out. <Apparently the Google shop profile was not set up by him so he isn't aware of his rising popularity. Do let him know about this when you drop by!>

MUST visit if you’re in the area! most unique experience in a cosy environment. its easy to overlook if you r driving along the street - a tiny hut w only a red lantern (and no signs whatsoever to indicate the otherwordly experience you will have). every single item we had was delicious, especially the shiitake mushrooms :)

After going there, I understood why everyone’s reviews were as long as an 800-word essay. The taste is ordinary and delicious. I cook you something to eat while chatting. From the journey at this moment to what we are doing now and then to the future. The grandpa who is a regular customer in the store today is still a grandpa who likes baseball and animation hhh. It is said that he usually drinks and doesn’t talk much, but today he still talks to us from time to time hhh✨ After chatting in the store for more than 2 hours, after walking out of the store, I suddenly thought "I might come here again in the future", so I went back and asked if we could take a group photo together. If I still have the chance to come, if I can still meet in person, I might think of... after seeing the photos! The shopkeeper grandpa is really interesting touched. thank.
