If you're adventurous, they serve grilled fugu (puffer fish) fins in sake as well for around 450 yen. An...

Smells a bit fishy when first walking in because they also sell fish to locals, but the smell goes away right away! Super enjoyable meal. A place to let your hair down and have a few beers and...
