Came here as part of a farewell dinner to send some friends off across the pond.
The izakaya atmosphere is relaxed but also fun. There are pachinko machines, samurai swords, and artwork hanging on the wall in the room while bunches of retro and novelty items appear at the bar to entertain if you happen to find yourself there. There are actual pachinko machines places just outside the restrooms to enjoy if you can figure out how to use'em lol.
The menu offers a lot of choice for meat and veggie lovers alike and there were a few favourite that I would recommend:
Tako Wasabi (raw): I like it better than the cooked version. Get more of the octopus flavour.
O'Sho Kaarage: really well executed deep-fried chicken with some sea-salt and pepper
Real snow crab pressed sushi: I really enjoyed the crab paste that contained crab brains.
Kinchan Chicken Wings: the touch of curry flavour gave it a little bit of heat that was nice.
What was slightly a let-down was the Kingyo-stye "death" chicken. The menu warns that "Do not order if you aren't too good with spicy food!" but had less kick than tabasco or siracha in my opinion. It was only saved by the fact that it was $10 pitchers of Sapporo. :)
Overall, I would come here again to try more items on the menu like the sushi and sashimi offerings coupled with the stone-grilled beef tongue or kobe beef.
