Great choice of sakes. Good tradition Japanese atomsphere. Must try some very fine and expansive sakes. Some of the bottles I don't usually buy because it costs over USD2,000 but you can have a glass there with less than 2,000 yen. Whole idea is to try a few different sakes or sakes that you intend ...to buy to see whether it's your glass of taste

We arrived full of hope as this place had been recomended by our hotel ( Park Hyatt ) and first impressions were good. Tucked away at the bottom of some steps it was full of locals. The room itself has 7-8 seats at the bar and 3-4 tables plus a small , very small private dining area. From there our ...experience went quickly downhill. Most of the tables were occupied by patrons who smoked and so the air become a thick haze of cigarette smoke and smoke from the grill in the kitchen behind the bar. Possibly acceptable in a large rom but not in something as small as this. The service was sour and surly and barely a smile was raised. they didn't have 3 of the dishes we ordered as they had run out despite it been only 9 pm. The chicken dishes we ordered were under cooked and still pink inside. We were charged a 680 YEN cover charge each for a small dish of pickled vegetables we had not ordered and for which there was no price on the menu. To cap off the evening a female patron vomited at our feet. We couldn't exit quick enough.

A friend of us recommended this tiny restaurant. A speciality is grilled chicken in several different ways. Try it, it's delicious. Friendly atmosphere, prices are ok for Tokyo.
