Torikizoku

YoNinja — Mon, 13 Oct 2025 23:30:33 +0000

If you want to experience a Japanese izakaya, you have to try out Torikizoku. It can get a bit loud and smoky due to the college kids, but the food is very tasty and for the price, it can’t be beat!

All items in this izakaya are priced at 280yen, that means all food dishes and beer/cocktails. It’s a very fun atmosphere with tables very close together, so don’t be surprised if you start up a conversation with the people sitting next to you.

For those visiting Japan, eating at an izakaya is a must do thing! To truly have that Japanese experience!

Il Bacaro

Il Bacaro is one of those little hidden gems that you can find a lot of in Tokyo. It’s been around for years, and is a nice change from the run-of-the mill izakaya and family restaurant fare. Located in a basement level near Shinjuku San-chome, Il Bacaro seems to be a little bit of Italy (I’m told Venice) transported to Tokyo.

When you walk in, you see the standing bar area, where numerous food selections are available to accompany your choice of directly imported, tasty, and affordable wine.

If you choose to have a more traditional sit-down meal, this of course is certainly an option.
The food is excellent, and the wines are well worth the trip here!

Ebisu Yokocho

YoNinja — Sat, 23 May 2015 15:00:00 +0000

A very cool (slightly touristy) yokocho in Ebisu. It’s basically 2 dozen different restaurants lined side by side in a corridor. You can walk through the area and pick a restaurant that you like and enjoy some food.

The ambiance is great on a weekend evening with a lot of people enjoying drinks and conversation. As for the food, it’s not amazing and a bit over priced for what you get. But it is in Ebisu, so I guess you just have to expect to overpay wherever you go.

Definitely a great place to visit!

Ebisu Dedesuke is a very cool and large izakaya in Ebisu. Due to its size and location, it’s the perfect place to host parties and group dinner events.
