A laid-back Japanese izakaya in Nogata, Nakano with warm wood tones, an open counter, cozy private rooms, and a terrace — the perfect neighborhood haunt for unhurried evenings. The kitchen revolves around 3-day-aged thick-cut beef tongue grilled over binchotan charcoal, served alongside creative small plates and a house beef tendon stew that has been simmered and refreshed since opening in 2019. No table charge or otoshi, and an extensive drink menu including an original Hiroshima fresh lemon sour rounds out the experience.
