Yooooooshta. It’s official. I have now been to all of the good sake places in Tokyo. Think you know another? Nope. Not good. This is the last one. Boo-yah! Good, I’m glad we could all agree on that. Back to work. There is a mythical izakaya in Yotsuya. One that’s so popular, so well-regarded, that […]

Fuki, Ningyocho (地酒と趣肴 風貴)
Well, we didn’t have that much luck at Kyowa, but it was early. Walking around left us in from of Fuki, which I had previously noticed as having some of that thar sakay stuff. Initially we were impressed by the seriousness of the master, who was sitting near the cash register working on a laptop. […]
Yoshiki Sushi, Nihonbashi
Yoooooosh (iki). As of today, I no longer lunch in Greater Otemachi. I trust that the 453 entries for Otemachi, Marunouchi, Nihonbashi, Tokyo, and Kanda will tide you over if you need ideas for lunch or dinner. But for now, let’s party! Several weeks ago, Shaft and I entered into a long process of negotiation that […]
Gyoro-Gyoro, Nihonbashi (魚櫓魚櫓)
Yooooooshta. It’s official. I have now been to all of the good sake places in Tokyo. Think you know another? Nope. Not good. This is the last one. Boo-yah! Good, I’m glad we could all agree on that. I mean, it’s pretty obvious that they’ve got something going on; with a head store elsewhere (Shibooya, […]
Onodera, Kagurazaka (おの寺)
There are a few places in Tokyo that I believe in enough to go back to, and a very few that I feel compelled to post more than once about. Obviously Onodera is one of them. The cooking is, if anything, better than I remembered. Onodera himself is a great guy. I offered him a glass […]

Honoka, Musashi Koyama (穂のか)
There are a few places in Tokyo that I like believe in enough to go back to, and a very few that I feel compelled to post more than once about. Obviously Honoka is one of them. I don’t think they remember me despite the nice welcome card, because I was there quite some time […]

Hantoco Cafe, Shintomi (ハントコcafe)
Wooden and I just wandered around a bit on the way to the station from Rusai. That was a pretty unsatisfying meal, and this little place looked awfulllly inviting as we strolled past. I’d seen it before, of course, but never noticed that it had a ‘sake ball’ outside, and we were doubly sold. We […]

Rusai Doshin, Shintomi (潤菜 どうしん)
Years ago I used to read Tokyo Calendar all the time. I was really looking for the little places that were reasonably-priced but still lived up to the standards that I like to think Tokyo Calendar sets for all the restaurants that they allow to buy space in their pages (just guessing here). Rusai Doshin, […]

Gochi, Shibuya (ごち)
Yooooooshta. It’s official. I have now been to all of the good sake places in Tokyo. Think you know another? Nope. Not good. This is the last one. Boo-yah! Good, I’m glad we could all agree on that. Shibuya at night. Not really night. I love love love summer because you can leave the office […]
Sabroso, Ochanomizu (サブロッソ)
Yooooooshta. It’s official. I have now been to all of the good sake places in Tokyo. Think you know another? Nope. Not good. This is the last one. Boo-yah! Good, I’m glad we could all agree on that. Warm, sunny nights in summer, I just enjoy the hell out of Tokyo. After work I took […]
