Izakaya Kurumaya Tei Ekimae is a no-frills neighborhood izakaya just a short walk from Kinshicho Station, occupying the ground floor of the Tanaka Building. A stalwart of the local drinking scene, the restaurant draws salaried workers and regulars for its reliable yakitori, hearty Japanese pub food, and affordably priced drinks. The spacious 70-seat interior fills up with after-work groups; the open, lively atmosphere and late-night hours — running until 8 AM — make it a popular last stop of the night. Smoking is permitted throughout, keeping the authentic izakaya feel. Simple food done well at honest prices.
