About this spot
Tuck into a cramped stand-up bar in Nakano where the air is thick with the smoky scent of charcoal-grilled yakitori and the sharp bite of local shochu. Skip the generic skewers and order the house-made pickles to cut through the rich, savory glaze on the chicken wings. The neighborhood vibe here is authentically gritty, serving as a late-night refuge for locals who know better than to ask for table service.
π‘ Tips before you go
- Order the shochu neat or with a splash of water rather than mixing it into cocktails to appreciate its clean, grainy finish.
- Expect to stand at the counter; there are no seats available in this bustling yakitori bar.
- Ask for the 'tsukudani' skewers cooked in a sweet soy reduction if you want something distinct from standard grilled chicken.
