A beloved neighborhood yakitori izakaya tucked inside Shinohashi Heights, identifiable by its red paper lantern (aka-chochin) and rope noren curtain at the entrance. The compact interior seats about 20 — five counter seats, shared tables, and a relaxed showa-era atmosphere that draws a loyal crowd of local regulars. Skewers are grilled over charcoal with a rich, thick tare sauce that is the house's calling card, priced from ¥160 each. Cash only; smoking is permitted throughout. The landlady and staff are famously welcoming to first-timers despite the local regular crowd.
