An izakaya a 2-minute walk from Tameike-Sanno and also within walking distance of Akasaka Station. It's a street-level place, so it's easy to find. The exterior looks like the quintessential izakaya, and the interior is exactly the same. The menu focuses on classic yakitori, making it feel like a traditional yakitori izakaya too. Neither the drinks nor the food are particularly cheap! But the prices are fairly reasonable. The clientele seems to be mostly office workers. Here's what I ordered this time. ■Draft beer（630円） Beer really is the best fit for this kind of atmosphere. ■Squid legs grilled with innards（550円） Now this is a grown-up flavor. Perfect with a drink. ■Toriwasa（770円） Since chicken is the restaurant's specialty, the toriwasa is fresh. Perhaps a little pricey. ■Yakitori course（1,100円） A good-value 5-skewer set with kashiwa, gizzard, tsukune, liver, skin, and soup. There's also a 7-skewer set（1,750円）, by the way. So I enjoyed a meal centered on their main specialty, yakitori. Honestly, it wasn't something that made me think, this was absolutely amazing! ...but the atmosphere is oddly relaxing, and I can see myself ending up there again.
