Sanchu

From comforting plates like jellied fish broth nikogori, fried oysters, and eggplant with miso to daily sashimi sourced fresh, Sanchu provides a steady repertoire of drinks companions and homestyle fare. The chalkboard often features seasonal delicacies such as shirako ponzu, served in moderate portions alongside cold beer and sake.

At the counter, easygoing conversation among the proprietor and family sets a relaxed tone, helping first-time visitors feel immediately at ease. With its calm atmosphere, the room works equally well for dropping by alone for a quick drink or sharing an evening meal with family over rice dishes.

The izakaya opens at 17:00 and closes on Wednesdays. Payment is cash only, so having money on hand before stopping by ensures a smooth visit.
