Taste: Delicious Portion: Average Memorable dish: Menchi Katsu Menu: Average Atmosphere: Izakaya under the bridge Cost performance: Average Crowdedness: Average Customer service: Average Revisit: If there is an opportunity - The Menchi Katsu is very juicy and delicious, although the coating may be slightly over-fried. - The Stamina Skewer made from a whole cow is flavorful with a good amount of garlic, and the meat is delicious. - The thick-cut beef tongue is full of umami flavor, has a good texture, and is very tasty. - Beef tendon with green onions in ponzu sauce - The beef tripe stew is not that great.

I had drinks at "Ushino Mogami" in Yurakucho Sanchoku Yokocho under the guard in Yurakucho 2-1-1, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. I had the raw hormone kimchi stir-fry (excluding tax 899 yen), which was a great combination of kimchi and hormone. It goes well with alcohol. The exterior photo above is taken from the inside, and you can enter from the outside as well. There are many izakayas under the guard, and it was bustling with people, including foreigners. The atmosphere changes as you move from Shinbashi to Yurakucho, with trendy shops on one side and traditional izakaya streets on the other. Although I don't have photos, I had Asahi Super Dry draft beer (excluding tax 599 yen) at Ushino Mogami. The dishes I had included an appetizer (excluding tax 399 yen), chilled tomatoes (excluding tax 399 yen), and spicy tsukune stuffed peppers (excluding tax 599 yen). I also had fried chicken and a variety of hormone skewers. I enjoyed hot sake and sweet potato shochu as well. It was a night of drinking under the guard in Yurakucho. Thank you for the meal.

I don't usually go to izakaya-style restaurants, but I had the opportunity to go for a specific reason. Even though I don't drink at all, I mainly focused on taking pictures of the bibimbap I ordered, along with some fried chicken as a snack. The bibimbap wasn't served in a stone pot, and it didn't come with seaweed soup, but it was delicious. Since I wasn't there for the food and drinks specifically, I just had some light snacks. The restaurant seemed to place a strong emphasis on the quality of the meat, so I could have been a bit more adventurous with my choices. The retro Showa-era atmosphere inside the restaurant also added to the overall experience.

I tried the "Hashigozake" from Kuromatsu-ya. I went to Yurakucho Sanchoku Yokocho because it was open for business all day, even during the pandemic. The atmosphere here seemed more important than the quality, with a lively feel to the place. I had Chamisul for 1,200 yen, which is always a safe bet. The appetizer with lettuce, pork, and sesame dressing was okay. The potato fries were freshly fried and delicious. When I checked the receipt, I realized that all prices were excluding tax, so the total bill for three people was 3,185 yen. We had a quick drink and then left.

You can enjoy a variety of reasonably priced dishes at izakayas in this area, where they focus on local ingredients and flavors. It's a great place to have a casual and lively time with friends. There are many specialty shops lined up in the alley. Although I had the impression that alleys were cheap, the prices were a bit higher than expected. However, the food was quite delicious.

On New Year's Eve, I went to a restaurant in Yurakucho with two friends to celebrate the countdown. We decided on this place because we wanted something casual like yakitori instead of yakiniku. The high-quality beef skewers were great for an izakaya-style meal. The harami, premium tongue, and tongue base were delicious! However, the bill was a shocker! We didn't feel like we had eaten or drunk that much, but it came out to ¥24,450 for the three of us. It might be more expensive than a yakiniku restaurant... Was there a mistake in the bill? It's not as casual as we thought (laughs).

When I went to Yurakucho for work, I somehow ended up in an underpass alley during the daytime and decided to enter a restaurant even though I don't drink alcohol because the atmosphere seemed nice. The restaurant, located in a row of several shops on one floor, had an open style and a friendly atmosphere. As it is primarily an izakaya, the dishes served were perfect for drinking. In particular, the "Hormone Karaage" and "Gyutan Motosu" (beef tongue skewers) were well seasoned and highly recommended. The hormone karaage was lightly fried and topped with ponzu sauce, contrary to the rich image of hormones, it was surprisingly light and easy to enjoy. The gyutan motosu skewers were made from carefully selected beef, making them tender and easy to eat, making them a great snack. We also ordered a few other dishes, all of which paired excellently with alcohol. The only regret was not being able to drink alcohol. Thank you for the meal~

After work, I went for a drink with my colleague. We chose a place under the guard of the edge of Corridor Street, next to the Yurakucho Sanchoku Yokocho. The area is divided into zones, with a unique alley specializing in seafood, beef, pork, and chicken. Intrigued by the large cuts of meat, we decided to try the skewers. We tried various dishes, but the most interesting was the "Whole Cow Stamina Skewer" with tongue, loin, skirt, liver, each on its own skewer. The garlic-flavored sauce and the beef fat paired well, making it quite delicious. The regular skewers were also good, but a bit heavy for one skewer. The lemon sour and beef went well together. The kimchi stir-fried with raw hormone was also a great match with the drinks.

It's nice to be able to have a drink during the day at this beef specialty shop located under the Yaesu side of Yurakucho, where a variety of restaurants by ingredient and region are lined up in the market street. The atmosphere inside the shop is casual and easy to enter, with young staff energetically serving customers. The menu is quite extensive, and you can also order from the menus of other shops in the street, so there is joy in choosing. The prices are reasonable for an izakaya, and you can enjoy dishes with a focus on region and ingredients, with fairly decent flavors. Recommended for those who want to drink and have a good time in a relaxed atmosphere (recommended for those who want to drink during the day as they have long business hours). 3.0 Average ★★★... Might come back if passing by 3.5 Good ★★★★... Would like to visit again 4.0 Excellent ★★★★★... Would like to come regularly

I stopped by around 6pm on a weekday. It was not crowded at this time. The alley had a variety of shops specializing in beef, Hokkaido cuisine, and seafood. Even if you're not sure what you want to eat, you might find something you like just by dropping in. This time, we went to a beef restaurant. ⭐️ Egg-rich potato salad ⭐️ Japchae ⭐️ Wagyu fillet skewers ⭐️ Beef harami skewers The potato salad portion was quite generous and good. The food was decent, nothing special but still tasty. It's easy to walk into and has a wide range of choices, so it's good for a casual visit. However, it was very disappointing that smoking was allowed. I wish it was non-smoking... (u_u)

I stopped by for a little bit after work. Despite the pandemic, it seems like they stay open late! I left the restaurant after 8 pm, but the food was delicious! It was a bit crowded with people gathering late into the night, but it didn't bother me much!

At a corner brightly lit up in the night, there is a back-alley izakaya that symbolizes Corridor Street. Drinking parties are held throughout the night. As expected, there is a parade of beef dishes on the menu, but they also offer common izakaya dishes like potato salad and edamame. Spicy beef tendon tofu - Good balance of spiciness. Sirloin pound steak - Impressive, but at 3990 yen, it's a bit pricey for a back-alley menu. The service on this day was quite poor, and we spent an uncomfortable 2 hours feeling unpleasant due to the almost indifferent attitude of the staff.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, after the period of patience from April to June, the spread of infections increased due to the Go To campaign and other factors, leading to a second round of self-restraint requests. As a result, the nightlife areas have become like ghost towns, with few lights on in the shops. However, there is one place where the lights are still bright and people are gathered like moths to a flame. Despite the risks, young people who are not afraid of the coronavirus are flocking to these places. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, making it easy to join in. I had already eaten before coming here, so I just ordered a sweet and delicious corn tea highball. The place is known for its beef dishes, so I ordered the spicy beef tendon tofu and some shochu to drink. It was crowded with people who couldn't find other places to eat after 8 p.m., making this place a winner. The restaurant is probably making a profit of over 60,000 yen a day by staying open after 8 p.m. Other restaurants should also do their best! Thank you for the meal!

Yurakucho Guard-Shita has been renovated, as I learned from a TV show. It's like a food court in Ebisu Yokocho, with no walls separating the shops. There are specialty shops for beef, chicken, pork, shellfish, and seafood, and you can order from other shops no matter where you sit. However, they are desperate to attract customers to their own shops. Even though it wasn't very crowded, I chose to sit here. They charge about ¥400 as a seating charge, but the contents are terrible. Just a small piece of roast beef-like meat. They should have served even a commercial potato salad instead. Tsukune with green pepper... The tsukune is tiny, like the size of the first joint of a thumb. The sauce is too sweet and cheap. Yamaimo namul... Just yamaimo with a sesame oil flavored sauce, like an amateur dish. Thick-cut beef tongue... I ordered it because it was recommended, but I was surprised by how small the portion was. And it costs almost ¥2000. I also ordered a shellfish kombu-jime assortment from a specialty shop, but it never came. However, since the food was terrible, I wanted to change course as soon as possible, so this was a blessing in disguise. I confirmed that there was no bill, quickly paid, and left. Anyway, it's overpriced and the quality is not great. It's a concept-driven alleyway development where the reality falls short. Well, all these guard-developed alleyway places are like that, right? I think it was the same person who produced them. It's a commercial facility where people who have money but lack good taste gather.

Yurakucho Sanchoku is a restaurant located in the Yurakucho area, where there are few open shops during the day. It is a row of several bars under the elevated train tracks, with some open and others closed. I visited on a Sunday afternoon around 3 pm and had the option to choose between a set meal menu or an izakaya menu. I chose the izakaya menu, which included: - Appetizer (399 yen x 2) - Draft beer (549 yen) - Shochu highball with lemon (549 yen x 2) - Kimchi (499 yen) - Skewers of beef intestine (199 yen x 2) - Skewers of beef harami (299 yen x 2) - Skewers of beef fatty tuna (299 yen x 4) - Highball with Bai (499 yen) - Ume shochu (399 yen) - Recommended beef tendon (199 yen) - Hot sake (599 yen for 1 cup) The appetizer was slices of beef, which looked unimpressive but tasted delicious with a refreshing sauce. The beer I had after a long time tasted surprisingly good. The skewers, which are the specialty of the restaurant, were of high quality with flavorful hormone and tendon options. The atmosphere was that of a casual izakaya, but the focus on quality ingredients was evident despite not being extremely cheap. Smoking is allowed in the restaurant, and the restrooms are unisex due to half of the restaurant being closed off.

Yurakucho Sanjiki Diner Street has been reborn and opened, consisting of 5 specialty material bars directly connected to producers and 6 local bars from around the country, totaling 11 stores in the direct market alley. It was a pretty good time, but all the shops were quite crowded, so I managed to find a seat at this shop, Ushi no Mogami-san. I started with a Vice Sour (499 yen). The appetizer was roast beef, fitting for a beef restaurant. I also ordered homemade potato salad (499 yen), addictive cucumbers (299 yen), juicy pork belly (999 yen), and sirloin pound steak (3,999 yen). The sirloin pound steak was impressively large with plenty of garlic. After the Vice, I had a lemon sour (549 yen) for a vitamin boost. In this alley, you can also order dishes from other shops, and they will bring them to you. However, this time I only stuck to the dishes from Ushi no Mogami-san. I always had the impression that alleys like this are cheap places to drink, but it turns out it can be quite pricey. Yurakucho Industry Alley is open 24 hours. I wonder if they also serve lunch for salarymen during the day? I'm curious about their lunch menu.

I explored a corner of a building where various shops are gathered by knocking down the partitions. Among the shops offering fish, shellfish, meat, etc., I chose this one. It was past 6 pm at the end of the year and the customer turnout was 40%. I was pondering where to go when I was approached in front of the store. They said that they can also deliver items from other stores, so please come in. First, tell me what your specialty is. It seems like a store mainly focused on beef, but the menu has a lot of Korean dishes. Kimchi, Kakuteki, Japchae, Kalanchim. I thought I might have entered the wrong store, but looking at the menu, there was indeed meat as well. Perhaps beef is more expensive, so it can't be helped. While I was drinking, my companion ate everything, so I don't have any taste feedback (laughs). I asked before entering, but it seems that the prices for drinks are unified across all the stores in the alley. It's not cheap, but experiencing this atmosphere once might be worth it. Today's must-try dish! Kimchi stir-fried with raw hormone. Three different cuts were confirmed.

I was looking for a place to have a light drink at my second stop, and I was caught by a catch from a hostess and entered the shop. It's a smoking allowed place. The service was not that bad, but the difference between the menu and the actual dishes was too big. The skewers (around 300 yen) were much smaller than expected, and the luxurious meat sashimi priced at 3000 yen was disappointingly thin. After about an hour, the total bill was 11,000 yen. I felt a bit disappointed to have used such a disappointing restaurant after a long time.

Tokyo's unique culture under the elevated train tracks. Not commonly found in Kansai. The lunch menu at izakayas is appealing. Stumbled upon a restaurant. Tried the popular Tawadako grilled set meal. A delicious collaboration of beef belly meat and onions. The rice was so satisfying. Thank you for the meal.
