We were the only foreigners in this pub at around 10pm. There's a cover charge which is normal in Japan. It has 10+1 beers on tap with cans in the fridge, ranging from ipas, hazys to sours. We did 1 to 10 for this trip, sharing the beers as we did not want to get drunk. The highlight of the night was Abbey of the Dog from Switzerland. immensely complex! wished I had brought my growler.

Friendly & polite service. Good selection of beers. We ordered the roast chicken, which was excellent. A quiet place, but in a good way....

Wow what a place, what a find. I wandered the street for a while around 10:30p on a Sunday trying to find somewhere I wanted to eat at. I thought I was settling for a random izakaya but I was completely wrong. The menu is super interesting and everything I had was well made and presented beautifully. The otooshi was worth the money (watch out), a mixed egg dish with sweet runny yolk surrounding a soft boiled sphere. I had the gobo with sesame and mayo, the blue cheese mouse, and the chicken ham. The chicken ham was just ok, probably wouldn't order again, but the other two were fire. And the presentation, the presentation. Like a fine dining set meal. Textures were on point across the board. Highly recommend.
