SHINBASHI: Stand Shinbashi for their Okinawan style Sen (1,000 yen) Belo (Tipsy) deal! Carlsberg and everyone friendly! (Sony RX100, iPhone X)

Check this photo out... a rare shot with my iPhone X.

Had to kill a little time with a friend in Shinbashi and of course I'm a huge fan of Senbelo deals.  In Okinawa its 3 huge drinks and 2 appetizers... In Tokyo only 2 drinks and an appetizer of the day

Only beer option was Carlsberg.  Glass was incredibly tiny.. oh well.

Only 2 options for appetizer.. Home made curry (sold out) and this seasoned raw shrimp and pork?

I could only eat one... it was a bit too fishy for me. 

Now for my 2nd drinks.

Shochu with soda.

200 yen to buy the staff a drinks! .  In Japan regulars often buy drinks for the chefs.

Free Gatcha food item if you write a Google Review. They also have free wifi and outlets.

Overall the staff and regulars were so friendly... Counter seating for 6 and two small tables for 4. Restroom was spacious and very clean.  Give it a try!

NUMABUKURO: On my walk I passed by a line of ladies at the newly opened Turkish Grand Kebab! Had to try!! (Sony RX100)

On one of my daily walking routes I saw a line of ladies 6 deep.... brand new Kebab spot!  Plan was to head over to Nakano but made a U turn to give this place a try.

Such a clean and bright shop.  Chef slicing the beef.

Sauce selections.

Drink only 150 yen

Went for the 600 yen beef kebab. But the drink fries combo deal seemed very reasonable. 

Now check this out... super juicy Beef was nearly gone VS...

... the Chicken.  I think in Japan we eat so much Yakitori the chicken option wasn`t very popular.  And people will definitely choose Yakiniku over Yakitori.  

Chef was slicing the chicken as it was starting to get burnt. 

Very cool design.

Overall the mix sauce was just right but think I will try the spicy next time.  Meat and veggie volume was kind of on the low side. But if you just want a light kebab this place is for you.

The meat was very juicy!

NOGATA: Tachinomi Banpaiya very wallet friendly standing Izakaya... mostly dudes and smoking allowed. (Sony RX100)

 

Very vast drink menu.

Mikan (Orange) Hi for starter. 

OMG! They have Romanée-Conti wine for 4.5 million yen! I mean if I was paying for this it would probably have to be in a posh restaurant with a live piano player rather than a budget izakaya.  Its all about the atmosphere.

New menu items underlined in Orange.

Menu had a date... April 19th. Cool.

On the board in the back is a hand written menu... this was the recommended 500 yen seafood platter.

These tiny squids have somewhat hard eyeballs and inside the body a piece of cartilage... fortunately they pulled out the cartilage with mini plyers.  Its great with beer! 

Slices of sashimi

A minced mob of fish... asked the waitress what it was but forgot the name.

Sashimi often sits on a bed of white radish... just add a bit of shoyu and enjoy.

One of my fav izakaya items... Motsu-nikomi with Tofu.  Will have to try the boiled egg option next time.

Add a little Shi (7) Chimi spice. 

Now on the hunt for some cheap stuff

Corokke made to order 110 yen!  Nicely crispy on the outside and hot on the in.

Basically mashed potato with minced meat... a fav!

This was the absolutely the best deal... Arajiru Fish soup for only 110 yen.  There was quite alot of white fish meat in there.  A MUST!

Back to the 330 yen HI menu... There is Yuzu, Sudachi (lime) and Mikan (Orange).

Closed with a Sudachi Hi drink.  

Always a favorite pairing with Beeru... Pork Kimchee (Buta-Kimu)

I was seated directly in front of the register so just asked the staff what I wanted to order... but there are these tiny order sheets to write orders.  

When you are done place all your plates back on the counter ledge.

They are opening a brand new branch in Kichijoji! I might have to check it out on May 1st.

Overall if you order with a smile the staff lights up and are really friendly.  There are about 5 tables along the wall and rest is counter seating. FYI smokers everywhere.
