NERIMA-KASUGACHO: TonTo Izakaya in a small quiet town on the Oedo-Line... friendly home style foods.

A friend of mine's son runs this cozy little Izakaya in Nerima-Kasugacho on the far end of the Oedo-line.  It neighbors a great little Hawaiian Bar called Ohana.

One of the best baked onigiri with miso paste topping..

Salt niku-jaga in a clear broth 580yen

Okinawa salt yakisoba 750yen (serving for 2)... this was nice.

I doubt that many of you will ever wander into this town just to have a bite but if you live in the Nerima area its only a few stations away on the Oedo-line.  Everything we had was very homestyle and good... a must is the Edamame seasoned in wasabi.

After TonTo give Ohana Hawaiian Bar a try next door (in the same building).

L shaped counter seating and sofa seating for 4 people by the entrance.

George's Havana Style Mojito... one of the smoothest I've had... used 4 ice cubes instead of crushed ice.

Chef George will make just about anything and puts his heart into it... 

Original Tropical Ocean.

NERIMA-KASUGACHO: Hawaiian Bar OHANA - A little Aloha on the Oedo-Line..

Brand new Hawaiian Bar opened up on the Oedo Line (Nerima-Kasugacho Station)... just 21 minutes from Shinjuku Station.  

Daily Hawaiian drinks specials by Bartender/Chef George.

Original surf painting inside by a female artist.

George behind the counter.  Moved to Hawaii when he was 8, went to Mid-Pac and now back in Tokyo sharing a bit of Aloha at this bar.  Felt like I was in Hawaii talking to a local... cool guy.

Primo!  So so smooth.

Light snacks on da house.

A MUST!  Edamame beans sauteed in garlic.

Gin based drink... very good.

Nightly special soup... Minestrone on tap tonight.

Owner behind the counter.  Family was in Hawaii over 100yrs ago... If you want a whisky/alcohol thats not at the bar just let Nakayama-san know and he'll add to the collection just for you.  Great guy...

Quick shot with a few regulars...  Overall this place was so relaxing.  Great local Hawaiian music, interior was so comfortable and there is also a small room with 2 sofa's for a party of 4-6.  I'd definitely recommend Ogo's in Akasaka for dinner but if you want a Hawaiian bar to hang out in then there is nothing better than OHANA.
