Kimagure is a cozy, no-frills neighborhood izakaya on a quiet street near Sawara Station, run by an owner known to regulars as "Yocchan." The tatami-floored interior has a relaxed, unpretentious local-bar atmosphere with smoking permitted throughout and no private rooms. The kitchen serves an extensive lineup of Japanese pub classics — yakitori-style skewers, karaage and tonkatsu, stir-fries, tamagoyaki and omelettes, cold appetizers, and rice or noodle dishes — alongside a rotating selection of ramen specials. It's a laid-back late-night spot popular with locals for casual drinks and hearty comfort food, open into the early morning hours most nights.
