A basement seafood izakaya under Marunouchi's Kishimoto Building, Hanatare sources live shirasu daily from fishing boats at Yokosuka's Sajima Port — the kind of freshness rare in the business district. The assorted sashimi platter cycles through up to 13 local varieties selected each morning, from thick-sliced straw-smoked bonito to local octopus and name-ro (minced fish). The interior is warm and unhurried, with curtained semi-private rooms and counter seats. A curated lineup of 40 to 50 sake labels — including rare regional brands and the house-exclusive Shoryu Horai Junmai Ginjo — keeps things firmly in izakaya territory.
