Arakawa City, Tokyo, Japan｜Kotori

This izakaya is a 5-minute walk from Nishi-Nippori Station. There are about 7 counter seats and 1 table seat (up to 3 people), which is a little less. In addition to the regular menu, there are about 15 kinds of menus that are limited to that day every day. Everything is very delicious and satisfying, but the yakitori is the most delicious. Tsukune and skin sauce are the best in both chicken and sauce, and I have never experienced anything better than yakitori in Tokyo. Really recommended. In addition, we have a wide range of menus, from grilled fish and sashimi, to alcoholic beverages, to hot pots, so we are sure you will be very satisfied. Please note that the highball is a shochu highball (very strong alcohol). It may not be suitable for a large group (5 people, etc.), but I recommend visiting with a small group.

This is a familiar store. You can relax and drink like you're at home. The atmosphere is that of the Showa era, so I think it would be difficult for first-timers to enter, but once you get used to it, you can enjoy drinking with regular customers. Although this menu is only available during the cold season, the hot pot that you can eat while heating up with solid fuel is a delicious dish!

This is the opinion of a woman in her 20s who drinks. I think it's hard to get into at first glance. I think I'm quite the type of person who likes popular pubs. I recommend the salted squid, and the yakitori is delicious, but I really like the salted squid. Enjoy drinking with the cute owner and his wife. it's one of my favourite stores
