Interesting experience at a standing izakaya! I must say that the staff is very accommodating to guests who do not speak Japanese and cannot read Japanese menus as they are willing to guess what we want and we showed that the dishes we want thru google review photos

The more memorable dishes are the bottarga soba. The fusion of umami savour of the bottarga and the homey flavours of the soba is heavenly!

I would definitely wanna come back here to try other dishes!
