The nearest station is Honjo Azumabashi, which might take about 10 minutes on foot. It's also over 10 minutes from Kinshicho and Ryogoku.
This area is a midpoint for various train lines, so buses might be more convenient.
Located in a quiet residential area of Sumida Ward, this place has been operating for many years, and I was drawn to its exterior and the warm reviews from previous patrons.
Inside, there are six seats at a U-shaped counter and two tables in a raised tatami area, making it just the right size for a couple running the business.
You can feel the charm of the downtown atmosphere from the seasoned apron of the owner, the background music from a TV drama, and the cushions on the tatami mats.
Drinks include Asahi medium bottles for JPY 450 and lemon sours for JPY 330, and it seems like prices haven't increased in a long time.
Skewers like Tsukune and Yakitori are JPY 160, fluffy chicken breast is JPY 180, and a generous serving of potato salad is JPY 250—truly reasonable prices.
The menu also features unique items like Kurikara, the skin of torafugu, and gyoza, adding a special touch to the experience.
This warm establishment gives off a vibe of wanting to provide enjoyment to customers and being a necessary part of the community, rather than focusing solely on profit.
