What makes it special
A casual shokudo (working-class canteen) in Higashi-Ōi Drinking Alley, a modest but robust arcade of yakitori and grilled-meat spots. The ginger-grilled pork (shoyu-based, punchy garlic) pairs well with rice and sake. Sashimi—tuna, bonito, firefly squid—arrives fresh. Small side dishes included. No-nonsense space; crowds lean toward local drinkers. The restraint is the charm: portions honest, prices fair (¥1,350 for the pork set; sashimi platter ¥1,320 for 3 varieties), no frills. Rated 4.1 stars from 48 reviews on Google Maps.
