NAKANO: Kanda-Ya Izakaya... great small standing counter area for the lone diner. Love this place. (SONY RX100 / AS100)

First day of Golden Week and all my friends are either traveling or going back to their home towns in Japan... so all alone and off to Nakano to randomly find a welcoming restaurant.

Luckily I spotted Nakanoya with a sign outside that had 10 spots for standing.

40 table seating and 10 counter seating spots.... I'm there!

I noticed these cute little crabs walking around in a tank... then to my left was sign to eat these guys for 390 yen!  Oh my....

I didn't eat these guys.
