Shot Bar 伽羅 — Restaurant in Toyooka

Delightfully quirky place. Seems like old mate has decided to make a business out of his hobby (of drinking). Feels like you’re hanging out in someone’s living room (complete with house rules posted liberally about the place). If you’re lucky (and even a remotely pretty lady) he might serenade you with his guitar and one-person karaoke setup. Or, bless his failings eyes, mistaken for a woman of ten years fewer in age. He even gave me a free cup of dried octopus meat, that flirty cad. Very generous; unfortunately being vegetarian and not wanting to be ingracious, I had to force down a few chunks before surreptitiously squirreling the rest away into my bag. I hope the carp in the river...

A hidden gem in a backstreet! A large variety of cocktails and drinks accompanied with some interesting small snacks. Cash only though so...

Love this place. Katsu Curry is absolutely delicious. I had lunch...
