About this spot
In the heart of Yotsuya, this izakaya specializes in sumibiyaki, where charcoal-grilled seafood and meats are glazed in a rich, sweet-savory tare sauce that caramelizes beautifully. Expect to see skewers of grilled scallops, squid, and pork belly sizzling over hot coals while you sip on cold sake or beer with the neighborhood crowd.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'kaki no tsubu' (grilled scallop) first as it is often sold out by late evening.
- Ask for a side of grated daikon radish to cleanse your palate between bites of the smoky grilled items.
- Reserve a seat at the counter if you want to watch the chef manage the charcoal grill directly.
