Paypay is having great 1,000 yen cash back promo for Seafood and Sushi restaurants in Tokyo! Only realized this a few days prior and mentioned it to my friend... he invited me out to his home town to try Yoronotaki IZakaya.

Specials on the board.880 yen sushi platter.

This is the Paypay deal! You can get 30% cash back up to 1,000 yen.

Ebisu Bottle beeru 528 yen! Always prefer bottle to draft unless the draft beer mug is Ice Cold.

Sashimi platter with 3 kinds of seafood... they gave us a free portion of scallopos

Kimchee.

Then we move on to a bottle of Kurokirishima 720ml Imo Shochu.

2090 yen for a bottle or 429 yen for a glass.

352 yen for bucket of ice and water to mix with the shochu

Fuku Tempura only 480 yen... thought this stuff cost hundreds of dollars.  Kinda reminded me of any ole white fish tempura.  Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Yum

If at a Izakaya definitely get this Egg! Its made to order. Has a slight sweetness.

Just add a bit of shoyu to the grated white raddish and eat together.

This was totally made at some huge factory. Asked the young Japanesee waitress if it ws homemade... she looked at me and quietly shook her head no! I knew it!

FYI Ladies... the toilet is a very old traditional Japanese squatting type.  

Overall the restaurant seemed dated, the chef a rather elderly man and I had no hopes of this place being any good... was concerned I might get a stomach ache. BUT! It turned out to be rather decent. Its been here for years so I assume the locals love it. OH! For groups of 4 they have 150min all you can drink course plans: https://tabelog.com/tokyo/A1321/A132103/13100450/party/

OIZUMI GAKUEN: Akeshi Izakaya... Super hometown Japanese cookin!

Its been a long time Akeshi but we are back for some great Japanese family style Izakaya foods!

Entered and it was a full house fully booked with reservations at 6:30pm... but but sheer luck someone called in to cancel this corner spot away from all the smoke and noise.  Perfect for a family with small ones.  Parked the stroller next to the table and here we go~

Rarely see yellow Oshibori's.

Remember if draft and bottle beer is the same price always go for the bottle.  I drank with a few beer distributors and they never ever drink draft... flavor changes.

Instant Otoshi

Chicken wings with gyoza stuffing... perfect beer food.

Sliced maguro but still frozen in the center... hmm...

Pork

Fried oysters

And of course we always order the giant Flounder 580yen.

Closed with some Tofu nabe... flavored like sukiyaki

One more dish to completely fill us up... Yaki udon.

This is definitely a great place and having talked to the owner years ago he pays his monthly rent with 2 days of sales... thus he's rolling in the money every month.  He was missing tonight from his usual drinking spot... yup, you'll find him drunk most of the time.  Very very reasonable prices for great Japanese izakaya foods.
