A Quintessential Izakaya in Shinjuku

A relatively new izakaya located in Shinjuku. I used the 4500 yen course. • Edamame • Assorted sashimi • Beef tongue salad • Beef tongue karaage • Beef tongue tsukune • Beef tongue smothered in green onions • Salmon and ikura rice • Dessert Most of the staff are foreigners. When the food is served, you might need to be aware of what you ordered since they may not understand when asked, 'What is this?'. The beef tongue karaage was delicious. The seasoned rice was rich in flavor, perfect for drinkers. The drinks came incredibly fast! From the first drink to the last, it was unbelievably quick! However, the highballs and shochu mixers were too diluted, so I switched to sake midway.
