"Mikenome" stands along the Machida Station front street, just a 1-minute walk from the Odakyu Department Store exit. This standing bar was established in 1976. The exterior is eye-catching with a sign that reads "Mikenome" on the first floor of an apartment building. Inside, there is a counter that sets a unique atmosphere. During my visit around 7:30 PM, there were two regular customers present. I ordered a "Chu-hi" to start and then checked the menu. They offer 15 types of skewers and 5 types of appetizers, perfect for casual drinking. I ordered a variety of skewers including 'rebaa,' 'kashira,' 'shiro motsu,' 'torikawa,' 'tsukune,' 'ninniku,' and a mysterious 'kurukuru.' The skewers were cooked in front of me on a gas grill, creating a delicious aroma. The skewers arrived after about 10 minutes, and they were cooked perfectly with a good amount of salt. The 'kurukuru' turned out to be 'green onions wrapped in bacon,' which was tasty. Overall, it was a quick but enjoyable experience, and I was even invited back by the regulars. They are open from early afternoon, so if you're curious, be sure to check them out!

In conclusion, this is a place for those who want to have a relaxing drink around Machida Station. I was looking for a place to drink alone at Machida Station. I couldn't enter the bar in casual clothes. The popular standing bar near the station is annoying with the voices of young people. The most popular izakaya in front of the station is probably Kaneko Italian. Next to it, I found a shop called Mitsunome with a mosaic pattern entrance where you can't see inside at all. Checking on Tabelog, I confirmed that it meets my needs. Only chilled small bottles of beer are available. I took a sip. I will never forget the taste of the sake I drank while chatting with the regular customers. It was very enjoyable. The owner was also a kind person. I will go there again. Bottle of beer small 400 yen Sake 380 yen Cold tofu 200 yen Thick fried tofu 200 yen Total 1,180 yen

I entered the restaurant around 8:15 PM on a regular day. One person left around 8:35 PM. Two people in the restaurant ordered one drink each and two skewers of grilled chicken, which cost around 600 yen. I wanted to drink a delicious Hoppy that you don't often see in Osaka. I assumed there would be 100 types of Hoppy at the grilled chicken restaurant in Machida, but unfortunately, they didn't have it. Thank you for the meal, I hope to visit again someday.

There is a standing bar izakaya called "Sankinome" near Odakyu Machida Station! Luckily, they are open from 3pm on weekdays and 12pm on weekends, which is perfect for me as I like to drink early. However, the small shop is always crowded with customers, so it took me three visits to finally get in. They only serve bottled beer, so I ordered a bottle of beer for 570 yen! I enjoyed it while standing! The yakitori, including tongue and cartilage, is all 120 yen each! You can enjoy them fresh and they are all delicious! I tried the beef tendon, which comes in two types - collagen and meat. I consulted with the regular customers and the owner, and we decided on the collagen. It was so tender and delicious, a great choice! They even gave me a little bit of the meat as a bonus... so grateful! One of the regular customers ordered an extra beer, so we all shared it and had a great time together. I felt very comfortable and had a great time. I think I'll have the courage to go back next time!

The interior of the restaurant is not particularly beautiful. The yakitori skewers are small and a bit tough, not very delicious. The prices are average. Although my first impression wasn't great, I ended up liking this place after visiting a few times. Many of the customers here are regulars, and they are all very friendly and welcoming. I enjoy listening to their stories while sipping on a drink, and I still visit occasionally. The beef tendon skewers are a specialty and pair well with beer!

The older sister is very kind. The counter on the right side is recommended.

I arrived at the restaurant before 4 pm on Wednesday. I ordered a chu-hi for 400 yen and a three-item appetizer plate for 200 yen. It was a bit hard to get into the restaurant, but the owner was kind, which was nice. I finished with a shochu hot water for 320 yen, chicken skin for 120 yen, and chicken neck for 120 yen, totaling 1160 yen. It was an average experience, but finding a place where you can have a quick drink is valuable.

A standing bar near Odakyu Machida Station that is open from 3:00 pm. The red lantern with the words "Third Stop" stands out. The small, narrow, triangular interior exudes a retro Showa era atmosphere. Only a counter is available, with room for about 10 people. The owner seems gentle, managing everything behind the counter. The mama-san socializes with regular customers outside the counter in a cozy atmosphere. The drinks available are bottled beer, shochu (barley - with water, hot water, on the rocks), and sake (cold, hot, room temperature). The main snacks are grilled chicken and grilled pork, all reasonably priced and decently sized. They are quite tasty. Start with a toast with bottled beer, then move on to shochu with water. It comes with a slice of lemon and is strong. It hits you. The concept seems to be a place to visit as the third stop, but it's a great spot to drop by as the first stop in the daytime for a quick drink and meal at a reasonable price, leaving slightly tipsy. Also, it's a smoker's paradise being a standing bar, which might be a downside for non-smokers.

Around Machida Station, there are more trendy shops popping up, but there are still some old-fashioned ones remaining, like this place. A nostalgic standing bar with a Showa-era atmosphere. The interior can seat about 8 people at most. The place is known for its regular customers. I was able to enjoy my meal without any problems even though it was my first time there, as I followed a regular customer inside and that led to a conversation. The friendly atmosphere makes it easy to become a regular yourself. Shochu is 320 yen, and yakitori is a flat rate of 120 yen per skewer. There were about 14 types including vegetables. I ordered shochu on the rocks with lime, which gave it a kick. I also ordered chicken skin, gizzards, and cartilage as snacks. They are quickly seared over high heat, so the wait time is short. This speed allows for a quick drink even in a short break. The food is well-cooked with a strong charcoal flavor. The skin is chewy, the gizzards are juicy, and the cartilage has a nice crunch. The portion sizes were satisfying, and the seasoning was excellent. The efficiency and skill of the staff shine through. If I lived nearby, I would definitely become a regular at this place.

Located right near Odakyu Machida Station, there is a standing bar called "Sankenme." I often passed by but never had the chance to visit, thinking maybe it's a place for the third round of drinks? However, on this day, after a few drinks at the second bar, I decided to visit on a whim. There were regular customers present, but they were very friendly. It can be difficult to feel comfortable in a bar with many regulars, but both the staff and the regulars here were kind, making it a relaxing place to drink. As for the origin of the name "Sankenme," it is said to be because it is the third bar from Odakyu Machida Station. This bar has a history of over 40 years. - Daikon simmered dish: I started with daikon radish and paired it with shochu mixed with hot water. - Yakitori: I ordered heart, liver, and cartilage. The liver was in sauce while the rest were salted. You can order each skewer individually, and it's quite affordable. Even with refills of shochu, it was around 1100 yen. Excellent cost performance. The bar had a rotating group of regular customers, showing that it is loved by many. Thank you for the meal.

I casually entered a standing yakitori bar called "Sankinme" in Machida, a narrow triangular-shaped store along the main street. A large "yakitori" noren curtain hangs down, and through the aluminum sash sliding door, you can see the backs of coats packed tightly. This place must be popular. Alright, I'll go with this tonight! I quietly open the aluminum sash. Clatter, clatter, clatter. Huh? Can I fit in? A regular customer points towards the right with a smile and says, "There's space over there." I thank him and quietly open the next sliding door to the right. I slip into the spot where the senpai just left. "I'll clean up right away," the hostess swiftly tidies up the small counter. "Welcome," a kind and dignified lady greets me. I glance around at the menu. First, beer, young chicken, white motsu, and dried urume fish. "Would you like the yakitori with sauce or salt?" "Sauce, please," I reply. I happen to sit directly in front of the grilling station. It looks like an electric grill (photo available). The hostess diligently turns the yakitori on the small grill. It seems like the hostess is the one doing the grilling. While waiting for the food to cook, I casually listen to the conversations of everyone. They seem to be familiar faces. "Mr. A, Mr. B just got home. They just missed each other," says the hostess. The warmth between the hostess and the customers is evident. This popular spot is loved by many regulars. "Here's your beer," oh, a Sapporo Black Label bottle! Is this the standard here? Nice! *chugs beer* "Thank you for waiting," she serves the well-dipped yakitori and white motsu on a small plate with a gentle smile. Now, time to eat. Mmm, pretty good. Let's order a hot water split. Oh, the hostess pours quite a bit. About 2/3 of the cup is shochu. Dangerous, haha. "Here you go," oh, it's quite strong, isn't it? The second order is chicken skin and simmered daikon. The skin looks delicious as the person next to me grills it, so I couldn't help but order it. Oh, jackpot! The skin is delicious. The simmered daikon is flavorful and moist. The prices are around 120 yen for grilled items, a bit higher for beer at 570 yen. Warm sake at 370 yen? Shochu at 360 yen? That's the price range. Have a drink, eat, pay around 1500 yen. Reasonable prices! Thank you for the meal! Rating: ★★★★☆ 3.5

Today, I came to Machida for the third stop of the night. I decided to have some yakitori and a drink, so I entered this place, San Gen Me. Typically, this would be the third stop of the night when bar hopping. When I entered the restaurant, there were already two customers at the counter, which can only fit about five people. Inside, the chefs were grilling yakitori. The customers seemed like regulars as they were chatting with the staff. The drinks were a bit pricey, so I played it safe and ordered a bottle of beer. The atmosphere was not conducive to taking photos, so I decided to refrain. The yakitori was a bit on the expensive side, but I enjoyed two skewers of the cheapest option while quietly sipping my drink. The yakitori was decently tasty. This place seems best suited for a third round of drinks. Start off with a lively first round with everyone, have a more intimate second round with a few close friends, and then finish off with a subordinate for a little chat over a bottle of beer and two skewers of yakitori. It's a place where you might want to have a serious talk with a subordinate, but it's better not to scold them and let them figure it out on their own, rather than be accused of power harassment.

Odakyu standing bar marathon: Good standing bar but too expensive - Machida "Third Stop" (Odakyu Line Machida Station) The Odakyu standing bar marathon, which has been revived, came to a standing bar in Machida this time. The shop is located right next to Odakyu Machida Station, on the south side of the bus terminal, and the name is interesting. Do they want you to come to the third stop of the bar hopping? The shop has a small counter where about 10 people can stand and drink. Inside the counter, there are a lady owner and a man (employee?). The uncooked skewers placed inside the counter are chilled with ice, showing attention to detail. First, I ordered a bottle of beer and the price was 570 yen. This is more expensive than the famous standing bar in front of Kyoto Station... Even in Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho, just sitting costs 550 yen. No wonder there are no people drinking beer here. For snacks, I ordered beef tendon skewers for 200 yen, young chicken for 110 yen, gizzards for 110 yen, and liver for 110 yen. The large beef tendon skewers came out quickly. The skewers are delicious as usual, and slightly cheaper than the prices in Shinjuku's Omoide Yokocho. The shop seems to have many regular customers, all of whom seem to be enjoying their conversations. I regained my composure and ordered a shochu on the rocks for 310 yen and thick fried tofu skewers for 200 yen. The glass for the shochu on the rocks is small. If I move to Machida, I'll have no choice but to drink in the convenience store park. The regular customer next to me left. The bill was 830 yen, probably for two shochu drinks and two skewers. I had a total of 1,610 yen (cries). To avoid misunderstandings, the shop is a good one. However, the prices are just too... For store information (address, phone number, map, etc.), click here: (link)
