I was looking back at my photos of our trip to Japan. We visited Tamoiyanse one evening for a meal. It is such a lovely place, the food and sake was great! The vibe was very cool. As the only gaijin in the spot, we must have been novel but it was one of the places where I felt an authentic sense of Tokyo.

Really cozy little place at the backs of some residential area. They have normal tables and chairs, and low tables with futons area where you have to take off your shoes. I guess they serve a lot of beer here, but I don't drink. Their food is very homely, and the bbq black pork sure is charred really well. Really chill place to relax at when you need to wind down from the busy city.

Our family had an amazing dinner! The chef helped set up a meny and it was delicious. The sachimi was fantastic as well as the tempera mushroom with a flavour full sauce. We had many more diches with a great variety. More rich and nuanced flavours than previous Izakayas we visited - Smoked/blackened chicken with a dot of a spicy and rich chlilipure (I think). I heard that the kitchen is from northern parts of Japan but I’m not sure. The service was great and we used google translate to over come the language barriär. So nice atmosphere and setting - intimate and warm. Located in a back alley with enough distance from the Shibuya circus. Great price for the quality of service and food. Can highly recommend it!

Good food, good vibes The chicken is amazing

Take into account that hot pot is served only on evening hours. During lunch, you can have a fish (grilled on the table) or chicken. Both were very good. The staff was extremely nice and did their best to explain the menu.
