Visited with a friend during the daytime on a weekday. It was almost half full even though it was before 12 o'clock. By the time we left around 1:30, it was almost packed. They don't have a lunch menu, so it seems like people come here to drink during the day. The sign outside advertised skewers for 50 yen and draft beer for 190 yen, which is quite eye-catching. This was my first time visiting despite seeing similar signs at other places. However, upon closer inspection of the menu at the table, it was written in small letters that the prices were actually 55 yen and 209 yen including tax. While they may not be violating any laws regarding displaying prices, it could be misleading for customers. The skewers, which are a specialty dish, were more like snacks rather than a proper meal, made of de-fatted chicken skin. On the other hand, dishes like "doruyaki" and skewers (with sauce or curry) went well with alcohol.

One day, I went to drink at this izakaya - even though I can't drink alcohol, I love izakaya menus. The place is called "Shinjidai Akihabara Honten," located a little further from Akihabara Station towards Asakusabashi under the overpass. It's a chain store with branches all over Japan, including Shinbashi, Shibuya, Shinjuku, and more. The Akihabara Honten is surprisingly open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It's a friend to drinkers at any time of the day! Their specialty is the fried skin skewers called "Densuki." I love fried food and chicken skin, so I'm looking forward to trying it. The menu includes Densuki for 50 yen per skewer, which is very reasonable, along with other affordable items. The drink menu offers draft beer for 190 yen and highball for 150 yen, which is quite reasonable. I started with a toast with a draft beer (Asahi Super Dry) for 190 yen and cola for 290 yen. The appetizer (simmered hijiki seaweed) costs 300 yen. When ordering drinks, I also ordered various food items. I tried the "Doruyaki" for 480 yen, which is a savory dish of fatty tuna and chicken grilled with rock salt. It has a great texture and flavor, and it's understandable why it's so popular. It goes well with alcohol too. The "Doten" for 380 yen is a dish with plenty of chewy offal in a sweet miso sauce. It's quite sweet, but it pairs well with alcohol. I accidentally ordered the "Densuki Large Pyramid (6 levels, 21 skewers)" for 1050 yen instead of the Medium Pyramid with 4 levels and 10 skewers. It was too much for two people, but we enjoyed it. The skewers are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, coated with a sweet sauce that includes Korean ginseng. I also tried the Densuki spice, which is made mainly from soybeans with zero salt content. It has a spicy and salty flavor that complements the skewers well. My husband had another highball (Black Nikka) for 150 yen and then ordered another draft beer. We also tried the "Troublesome Potato Salad" for 480 yen, where you mix the ingredients yourself to make the salad. It's a fun and interactive dish. Overall, we enjoyed the Densuki and other dishes, and I would love to go back for more Densuki and Doruyaki. Just be careful not to make the same mistake I did and accidentally order the Large Pyramid like I did! (You can add skewers one by one, so be mindful of your order) ===========

The famous "denkushi" skewers cost 50 yen each, and a beer is only 190 yen. The prices were so unbelievably cheap that I had always wanted to visit. I finally had the opportunity one weekday morning and decided to check out the Akihabara main store. The location is under the elevated tracks of the Sobu Line, with entrances on the north and south sides. I entered from the north side and found the place to be about 20-30% full. It was a bit messy inside but not dirty. I ordered denkushi skewers, "denkushi red," a potato salad, and a beer. The 190 yen beer was probably the cheapest I've ever had, but it tasted decent. The denkushi skewers, made of fried chicken skin on a stick, were tougher than expected and didn't stay on the skewer well. As many have pointed out, they were served at room temperature. They felt more like cheap snacks at 50 yen each. The denkushi red was the same skewers with a sweet and spicy sauce and fried garlic sprinkled on top. It was just too sweet for my liking. The highlight was the potato salad, which was surprisingly tasty. The mayonnaise was delicious. Overall, there's a reason why things are cheap, and there are trade-offs. The service was a bit sloppy, but if you expect mistakes and don't dwell on them, it's not too bothersome. And don't think too much about the 300 yen boiled soybeans as an appetizer being equivalent to six denkushi skewers (laughs).

The food is still delicious and cheap, no complaints! It can get crowded on weekends for lunch due to the fact that you can drink from before noon and it's close to the station. Also, since it's open 24 hours, sometimes the staff can seem tired in the morning. Just be patient and don't rush if you come early.

Today, I finished everything by just before 4 pm. Since I was in Tokyo, I was thinking of killing time for about an hour and having a delicious dinner. My companion suggested going to an izakaya that had been open since morning, but I declined because I don't drink. However, when they mentioned that they had draft beer for 190 yen and shochu highballs for 150 yen, I couldn't resist. The izakaya was not full, but it was quite busy. I ordered a draft beer for 190 yen, while my friend got a mega highball (1 liter) for 450 yen. We also had salted cabbage for 250 yen, chicken skin skewers for 50 yen each, red chicken skewers for 90 yen each, and chicken yukhoe for 480 yen. We also had a few other alcoholic drinks. The chicken skin skewers were crispy and delicious, with no greasy feeling and a crunchy texture. The soybean-flavored coating was fragrant, and the sweet sauce added just the right amount of flavor without being too salty. The red chicken skewers were sweet with a spicy sauce, but I personally preferred the regular chicken skewers. I didn't try the chicken yukhoe, so I can't comment on that. The salted cabbage was a great deal for the amount you get. Despite the low prices, the quality was surprisingly good. The izakaya was constantly busy with customers coming in, but the staff handled it well with a smile. In the end, I didn't get to have the delicious dinner I had planned, but I did enjoy a tasty beer. Thank you for the meal!

Suddenly decided to have a drink after lunch and strolled around the Akihabara area. Although I wasn't hungry after lunch, I still wanted to drink in the afternoon. Found a place that is open 24 hours and serves draft beer for only 190 yen per glass! The 50 yen skewers are a must-order, it seems like everyone is getting them. I ordered two at a time since it was my first time there. The salted cabbage and edamame came out quickly after ordering. The skewers took a bit longer, so it's better to order them first. I had three glasses of draft beer, but it didn't even cost 1,500 yen, which was surprising. I promised myself to order the skewer pyramid next time I visit. Despite being under an overpass, the place has three floors and a total of 180 seats. It seems like it can handle a lively atmosphere, so it might be good for parties too.

I have eaten at a restaurant in Nagoya that was also in front of Tsu Station in Mie Prefecture. When I looked it up, I found out there are many in Tokyo as well. So, I went to Akihabara. The prices are amazing, so it's funny to complain about the service of the staff. (laughs) I had a great time.

I heard a rumor that beer was unexpectedly priced at 190 yen, so I went to Shinjidai in Akihabara early in the morning. It was around 8 am, and surprisingly there were quite a few customers even though it was early. I sat at the counter and immediately ordered a beer and 3 skewers. The beer that came out right away was indeed 190 yen. It was advertised as cheaper than convenience store prices, but even cheaper than canned beer! I was amazed. The taste was like a regular Super Dry beer. It was such a great deal. I quickly ordered a second one (the price of 3 beers was about the same as one at a regular izakaya). The skewers were decent, but they were quite cold (which might be normal). The taste was quite good and went well with the beer. Next, I ordered the spicy skewers, which were not very spicy but had a nice spicy flavor. The skewers were 50 yen and the spicy ones were 90 yen. After 2 beers, I ordered a lemon sour for 290 yen. I initially thought it was expensive, but considering the 190 yen beer, it was actually quite cheap. I also had quail egg skewers with the lemon sour, which was consistently delicious. After one more drink, I felt like eating ramen, so I left after about an hour. The total bill was around 1500 yen. The food was decent, but being able to eat and drink so cheaply in the early morning is fantastic. 190 yen beer is amazing and really boosts your mood. I'm definitely going back next week to drink early in the morning! I wonder what I should eat next time... The speed of the food coming out was slow, but it's early morning and there were few staff, so it's understandable (plus, I was a little tipsy, so I didn't mind).

It was crowded and almost full, but I managed to find a seat. I ordered a pyramid of 10 skewers, my favorite bamboo-wrapped fried fish cakes, self-made potato salad, and curry skewers. The curry skewers were like curry cutlets without rice, and they were delicious.

This place is truly amazing with its 24-hour operation and great cost performance. The skewers are not piping hot but more like room temperature, yet still crispy, which seems to be intentional. The Nori 10 times seaweed tempura is as delicious as ever. The fried chicken took quite a while but was served hot.

About a 5-minute walk from Akihabara Station, I started my day drinking at Shinjidai. Despite the bad weather, this place is open 24 hours, which is rare around here, so by late morning, over 80% of the seats were already taken. The food and drinks are very cost-effective, with yakitori starting at 50 yen per skewer, draft beer at 190 yen, and highballs at 150 yen. It's a great place to drink on a budget, and the specialty yakitori with secret sauce is so delicious you can eat as many as you want. It was a fantastic start to my day drinking session! Thank you for the meal.

On a Sunday in Akihabara, I came across a restaurant offering draft beer for 190 yen. The place was almost full, but I managed to get a seat by the window. I ordered draft beer, salted cabbage, quail eggs, and 4 skewers. Later, we also added chicken thigh skewers. You can call the waiter by pressing a button on the table, which is quite convenient. After enjoying a few drinks, we paid around 2700 yen for the meal. It's a great place for budget-friendly dining.

In recent years, I have seen more and more signs for "New Era" in bustling streets. I often drink during the day on weekdays, and many of these New Era places are open from 5 pm. This particular establishment is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It's a place that never sleeps. The beer is only 150 yen, cheaper than a convenience store. And the mega highball served in a liter jug for 450 yen is quite a deal. I wonder if they could open one near Shiteguchi Station, haha.

A power word, "串50円 (Skewer 50 yen)", located a short walk from Akihabara's Showa-dori exit. I've been here a few years ago and the prices haven't changed, which is great. The drinks and food are overall cheap, with 2000 yen being enough for a satisfying meal. There is a wide variety of drinks available. The skewers are made with chicken skin, perfectly crispy. You can easily eat 5 or 6 skewers. It's a good place to have a light meal and drink during the day.

It's very cheap and delicious. The restaurant is not very spacious, so you need to be careful not to bump into other customers when going to the restroom, but I think people who mind that wouldn't choose to come here anyway. Other than that, I have no complaints! It was great that the orders came quickly for lunch drinks. I would like to go again!

Recommended for: - Everyone living in the new era - Those looking to save money! A great option for drinking with friends - Solo drinkers will also enjoy it as it's cheaper than convenience stores Impressive pyramid of skewers (50 yen each), beer for 190 yen, highball for 150 yen. The amazing cost performance of the new era is worth revisiting. Popular in various locations, this place is a must-try. The unchanged prices despite inflation are greatly appreciated. The skewers with the secret sauce and cooking method are addictive. All other dishes are delicious too! The origin of the "annoying potato" dish is said to be here, but the potatoes are delicious. The freshness and taste of the liver indicate their commitment to sourcing and preparation. The fact that all this is offered at such a price is amazing! With over a hundred stores nationwide, New Era continues to expand even during the pandemic. When in doubt, go to New Era. Thank you for the delicious food and enjoyable time.

As long as there is sashimi and beer, that's all I need. Thank you for looking at the reviews. I hope it can be a starting point for everyone's delicious meal. Your likes and comments are encouraging!

I visited the Akihabara Honten branch of Shinseido because the shop I originally planned to go to was temporarily closed. I like their specialty Densuki skewers, so I ordered a variety of skewers and potato salad. Personally, I prefer the Densuki, chicken thigh, and tsukune skewers along with the potato salad. I especially enjoy the potato salad because you can adjust the mixing and mashing to your liking. It's easy to enter and casual, which is nice. It was delicious.

Beer is cheap at 190 yen and delicious. The food is also cheap, so the cost performance is great. It was strange that despite having alcohol prepared at the kitchen counter, nobody brought it to the table right away. I wonder what they were waiting for, haha.

I thought it was cheap! But I was lured in by the cheap sign... The cheap menu options are limited... The prices are just average for an izakaya. Everything is just average. I went in with high hopes, so I'm a bit disappointed... Please try going there once.
