About this spot
Tucked away in Shimokitazawa's vibrant Harmonica district, Katakuchi serves up classic izakaya fare like grilled scallops and simmered chicken that feels both rustic and refined. The small plates are designed for sharing, making it the perfect spot to test-drive a variety of dishes before committing to a full sushi course.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the fried squid tentacles as an appetizer to pair with your first round of sake.
- Ask the staff to bring out the grilled scallops immediately upon seating while they are still piping hot.
- Save room for the simmered chicken thigh, which is best enjoyed with a side of pickled ginger to cut through the richness.
