About this spot
Tucked away in Yanaka & Nezu near Kokubunji Station, Shimonya Kokubunji Ten serves up a no-nonsense Izakaya experience focused on grilled tripe and yakitori. The kitchen grills offal skewers until the fat renders perfectly, offering a bold flavor profile that stands out from typical chicken-centric spots. This solid-rated spot is ideal for travelers seeking an authentic taste of Tokyo's traditional tavern culture without the tourist markup.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the grilled tripe (chikuwa) early as it sells out quickly during peak dinner hours.
- Ask for a side of pickled ginger to cleanse your palate between bites of rich offal skewers.
- Expect to order by number rather than name, so be ready to specify 'grilled tripe' and 'yakitori' when the server approaches.
