65 years in business, Google Maps 4.3 with 353 reviews. Beloved Fukushima izakaya for grilled offal and disc-style gyoza. Menu is refreshingly simple — just a 5-item set (grilled offal, disc gyoza, edamame, cold tofu, pickles). Featured on TV show 'Banananman Sekkaku Gourmet' in 2024 and gained national fame, but it was already impossible to get reservations locally. Takeout available.
Reviews say 'unbelievable that a 65-year-old institution charges under 1000 yen', 'amazing how satisfying just offal and gyoza can be', 'impossible to get a reservation', 'same quality taste even after the TV feature'.
