I climbed the stairs at the station and found this shop right in front of me. The atmosphere here is quite lively and friendly, with many people enjoying drinks. The best part of this place is that the chef prepares delicious dishes as well. It's amazing to be able to savor this creamy cheese while smelling its aroma at the counter.

On February 22, 2023, while on my way to Uguisudani from my hotel, I came across a restaurant with an intriguing exterior and name. I decided to visit as my third stop of the night at 7:30 PM. There were about 6 customers already inside. The entrance had hand sanitizer, no temperature checks, and the indoor ventilation was not very open. There were no partitions at the counter or tables, and it was unclear if there was any difference in seating arrangement. Despite the time, the place was surprisingly busy, functioning as a local drinking spot for the nearby residents. I enjoyed their recommended highball and mushroom marinade as a snack, finishing off with a martini. I was impressed by the unique atmosphere and the variety of food options, which didn't seem typical of the downtown area. Overall, I left satisfied and full. Thank you for the great meal.

In Yotsuya, there is an authentic bar called ORCA facing Showa Street. The bar has an L-shaped counter and two tables. I visited for the first time on a whim since I had some time to spare. - Martini (900 yen including tax) If you don't have any specific requests, the martini at this bar is made with Tanqueray and Noilly Prat. It's a generous serving and very enjoyable. - Fresh tomato and mozzarella cheese caprese (550 yen including tax) This refreshing dish pairs perfectly with the martini. - Complimentary appetizer: beans The nostalgic atmosphere inside the bar, along with the calm demeanor of the owner bartender, make it a popular spot on Jimoti. It's a wonderful place to visit.

I came to the second place recommended by Akagi. This is also a favorite spot of my friend. It looks like a traditional bar, but the atmosphere inside is quite casual. The place was quite crowded, but luckily there was a table available. When I'm tipsy, I crave a dry martini. I also had some whiskey. For snacks, I ordered popcorn.

After running a soba restaurant for 40 years, two brothers renovated it into an authentic bar. They have an extensive selection of whiskey and delicious snacks. The bar has many regular customers, but they warmly welcome new guests, solo female drinkers, and anyone else. #barorca #orca #bar #shotbar #authenticbar #soba #iriya #sobagourmet #barhopping #barlover #connectwithbarlovers #connectwithsakedrinkers #connectwithsobalovers #connectwithfoodlovers #noodlelover #noodlegram #noodleenthusiast #foodie #foodpic #instafood #instagood

Since they didn't have the Mojito we were looking for, my husband ordered a Moscow Mule and I got a Salty Lychee, classic cocktails we used to enjoy at izakayas. This bar is on a whole other level compared to regular izakayas - so delicious! Perfect place for a last drink of the night.

A no-charge, non-smoking, reasonable bar. Cheese and other snacks cost 100-200 yen. Other items are also under 1,000 yen. The bar offers a wide selection of affordable whiskey, and they pour generously!

Higashi-nihonbashi Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line. Towards the Senju direction. Within 10 seconds on foot from the exit towards Minowa. There is a super convenient "BAR" located there. It used to be a tobacco shop and a standing soba noodle shop, or part of it was taken over? The brothers who came there have restarted the shop as a bar. The bartender is a mature gentleman. The younger brother, who used to work at Negishi, is in charge of cooking. There may be concerns about the transition from a standing soba shop, but he has gained experience working at a bar in Honjo. He also helped out at "Soju," a bar run by a former Rojiie employee nearby. Despite being a bar, this is in downtown Iriya. They offer a wide range of drinks including whiskey, cocktails, beer, sake, and wine. Cheese is also available starting from 100 yen, which is quite affordable! They focus on malt whiskey and have a selection of three major blue mold cheeses, showing their commitment to quality. The soba noodles (450 yen) are a popular item to finish off your meal. Originally a secret menu item, it became a regular menu item due to popular demand (laughs). The interior is a non-smoking bar, which is quite rare, and there is no cover charge, which is a plus. Opening at 5 p.m. is also a great feature, personally speaking. The most interesting part was the detailed information about the surrounding shops and their history. Born and raised in Iriya, the master's knowledge is impressive! Even for someone like me who is new to bars, it was a very enjoyable experience. According to the master, the next episode of Ad-machi airing on July 1st (Saturday) will be about "Iriya." They seem to be well-informed about the area as well (laughs). One draft beer, one highball, two glasses of wine, pickles, and two types of cheese cost 3000 yen. Thank you for the meal. I would like to try the soba noodles next time!
