Toriyoshi Shoten is a lively chicken-specialist izakaya under the Yamanote Line tracks in Marunouchi, part of a chain born in 1984 in Kichijoji. The casual, open interior with counter seating and power outlets draws after-work crowds and families with its remarkably affordable prices — draft beer from ¥299 and highballs from ¥199. The menu revolves around chicken wing kara-age in a signature month-aged secret sauce, supplemented by skewered yakitori, raw chicken sashimi, oyakodon, and chicken soba. Open from lunch until 5 AM daily.
