IKEBUKURO: Doma Doma Izakaya. Lots of tasty options plus 1200 yen all you can drink! Cozy Booths. (Sony RX100M2)

 

Doma Doma always has the best all you can drink plans.  60 minutes for only 600 yen! 

You will just have to order a minimum of 2 dishes over 300 yen. 

Balenciaga vs Puma vs Nike

The Otoshi (automatic appetizer). 

Salmon and avocado carpaccio 

Here we go Nomihoudai! Draft beer... but later I noticed medium Bottled Beer is also included!

All you can drink menu... if you add this branch to your LINE friends the price drops from 1,500 to 1,200 yen. Not too bad. 

Touch panel plus a picture menu. 

Next up Whisky Hi-Balls... perfect if you are on a diet. 

Shrimp ahijo... very garlicky. Tasty! 

Ei-hi-leh Manaray with mayo... perfect beer food.

And here comes my1st Asahi Bottle Beer! Rare to see this on a standard Nomihoudai plan. 

Remember... we had to order 2 dishes each over 300 yen.  One of the cheaper choices. 

Edamame

Pickled Veggies. 

We were located on the 3rd floor so phone reception was good.  But they have Wi-Fi.

Draft beers are about 500 yen so definitely go for the nomihoudai plan. 

Overall Doma Doma is definitely one Izakaya you have to put on your list.  The food is unusually good and the semi-private booths are cozy.  Go Go! Oh this spot is on the same block as The Hub Pub.

Friend rocking Balenciaga shoes... I`m a $50 Puma kinda guy so I could buy like 20 shoes for the price of his sneakers.  Someone is making bank. 

If you miss the last train 5 hours of all you can drink only 1,500 yen!

11pm - 4:30am.

IKEBUKURO: Okinawa Shokudo Yanbaru Restaurant... hmm... the Oki Soba might be good but not for drinks. (Sony RX100M2)

I`m a fan at supporting new restaurants and even more so if its Okinawan.  Yanbaru Okinawa Shokudo Restaurant recently opened in Ikebukuro.  Lots of girls bars in this building. 

Lots of items on the menu.

Had to get the standard Goya Champuru 620 yen.

Lots of goya but very little SPAM.  Ho hum...

Then one of my favorites! Mozuku Tempura! 

This wasn`t quite tempura... more like fish cakes wrapped in mozuku then fried in oil. It was soooo greasy... Okinawa Paradise in Shinjuku was much better.

First time to see Indian chefs at an Okinawan Restaurant.  Normally they are either owned by an Okinawan company or the owner/chef is from Okinawa.  Maybe they are trying to sell the Oki concept?

I should have realized this place is a Shokudo... not really a sit in and drink izakaya kinda place.  Almost all the customers were ordering Okinawa Soba.

Didn`t have that Okinawan feeling... won`t be back for my Orion Beer needs.  Only good thing was no Otoshi fee (that automatic appetizer).
