About this spot
Step into this lively stand-up izakaya where the air is thick with the smoky scent of grilling skewers and the clatter of plates at Akabane Station. Order the signature Ham Katsu, a crispy pork cutlet surrounded by vibrant red ham that melts in your mouth, or grab a quick hit of liver yakitori from the counter grill. The casual vibe makes it perfect for grabbing a few pieces of tuna cut to share with friends before heading out.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 3-piece liver yakitori set if you want to try the chef's most popular item without breaking the bank.
- Stand-up seating means tables turn fast, so be ready to order immediately upon sitting down.
- The red ham surrounding the pork cutlet is a visual signature, but ask for extra sauce on the side as it can be salty.
