Since it was my first time at this place, I only had one drink. As the name suggests, it's a standing bar only. The counter can fit about 4-5 people and it was packed. There was one regular customer there when I arrived. It was early in the day, so despite the small space, the air conditioning wasn't working well and I started sweating. I ordered a shochu highball, which I had to make myself. The shochu was strong and it had been a while since I had such a strong drink. I only had time for one drink, but as I was leaving, they brought out a fan-like device that helped cool me down. Thank you very much! The food menu looked great, so I'll come back to try the yakitori and sashimi when it's a bit cooler.

Standing and drinking in Asagaya. From the north exit to Star Road. When I went to "Tachinomi Futa-kun," it was full, so I came here instead. Having a drink in Asa-tachi! Outside, there are three tables made of beer cases. There were young people drinking outside. I thought about imitating them and drinking outside, but it was too hot, so I went inside. There was one customer already inside. The interior of the small shop. The specialty seems to be yakitori, but they also have sashimi, including horse sashimi, and rice bowl dishes. First, I ordered a draft beer (Black Label) for 455 yen (excluding tax) and a potato salad for 390 yen. I quenched my thirst with the draft beer. It's delicious. The potato salad is not too mayonnaise-heavy, more on the dry side. It has cucumber, onion, bacon (ham?), and the taste is good. It was not crowded around 6:30 pm. There were two more customers later. One of them was a middle-aged lady. I felt like having another drink, so I ordered a chu-hi for 491 yen. I thought the staff would make it for me, but the shochu came in a "kaku 6 shaku" cup and a saucer for the alcohol, with carbonated water on the side. It's unusual. I made my own chu-hi. The shochu was poured generously, and I had trouble pouring it into the glass. I spilled a little. I should have just drunk the shochu from the glass like sake. The shochu was strong and hit me. I also ordered an assorted yakitori set for 591 yen. The assortment included motsu (liver), momo (with leeks), yagen, and hatsu. Only the motsu was with sauce, the rest were salted. The liver was on a skewer with leeks. It was cooked just right. The momo, yagen, and hatsu were well seasoned with salt, and the cooking was just right. The yakitori was decent. Customers who come here usually have a couple of drinks with yakitori and then leave quickly. I also left after finishing the yakitori. There is also a separate Asa-tachi in front of this place. It was a convenient standing bar.

"Standing Barbecue Chicken Asatate" stands about a 2-minute walk from the north exit of Asagaya Station on Star Road. This is a popular standing bar in Asagaya. First, let's talk about the appearance. The faded color of the signboard and the worn-out lanterns give it a charming appearance. The interior has a standing bar atmosphere, with only 3 tables made of beer cases outside. When I visited at 5:30 pm, it was almost full, but luckily we managed to get a table outside. We started by ordering a draft beer. We quickly toasted with our friends and quenched our throats with beer while looking at the menu. The menu mainly consists of grilled chicken skewers, sashimi, and various izakaya dishes, with a wide variety of drinks available, making it enjoyable for people of all ages. Of course, I had done some research beforehand, so I ordered skewers and "horse meat Yukke". Since it was hot that day, I quickly finished my beer and chose a "classic sour" for my second drink. The classic sour is a citrusy ponzu sour with a refreshing taste, very delicious! I was drinking it quickly before the food arrived, so I slowed down and waited for about 20 minutes for the skewers to arrive. As soon as we tried them, we found that every part was perfectly grilled with a slightly sweet sauce that went well with it, very tasty! Especially the "intestines" melted in my mouth as soon as I tried them, spreading the richness of the liver. It was amazing! Of course, the drinks kept flowing, and I had a third classic sour. At the same time, the "horse meat Yukke" also arrived. When I mixed it well with the yolk and sauce, the sticky deliciousness of the horse meat combined with the rich sauce and the sweetness of the yolk was absolutely irresistible! This is definitely a popular dish. There are also nearby seats available, so if you come to Asagaya, be sure to visit this place! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - [Menu] - Intestines: 140 yen - Liver: 140 yen - Thigh: 140 yen - Bonjiri: 140 yen - Sabiyaki: 140 yen - Tsukune: 250 yen - Heart and Gizzard: 140 yen - Horse Meat Yukke: 550 yen ************************ - Classic Sour: 400 yen - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

I went to the second shop via a ladder from a table, counter, and Mu-yu in the range of 2000 to 3000 yen! I usually prioritize cost performance and end up going to Futa-kun, but I was also interested in this shop recommended for ladder sake, so I'm glad I went. Most importantly, you can get drunk as much as you like because it's a self-refill style ❤️‍(I ended up completely drunk...lol) The skewers and other snacks were delicious, but there are absolutely no picturesーーーー! As the name suggests, this shop specializes in yakitori, but there is a possibility of items being sold out if you go late! It is recommended to go in the daytime when you can drink from noon. It's a good place to drink quietly with friends at the counter, or with 3-4 people having a lively time‍♀️♪

I have been to the stand-up bar a few times in the past, and it gives off an intimidating vibe at first glance. This time was my first visit, and it still felt a bit daunting with both the regulars and newcomers. However, I managed to overcome the initial hesitation as I have some experience in similar places. I believe everyone should know about the system of ordering a highball at this stand-up bar.

With such a lively atmosphere, we headed to Asagaya before stopping by Ape ❤️. We chose the name based on a story we heard beforehand. It was Asadachiさん❗. The vibe was so cool with the standing bar experience. Since it was Ape, we carefully selected the liver ❤️ and heart (split heart) so we wouldn't overeat. We could only think of Eringi mushrooms. Members gathered one after another and we had a lively talk, eventually getting drunk. With that energy, we ventured into the long-awaited place and had a blast. Ape in moderation, we know that. But it's fun, right? Morning wood, oh it was hilarious. I forgot to mention, I'll update the menu later. Please recommend delicious standing bars. I'll post delicious items. I am @aoyan_food.

This is what you call a "judging a book by its cover" situation. It was delicious. Since there was no specified number of orders, I started with the motsu tare... As I was ordering, I started to worry a bit, so I asked, "Was choosing the salt tare a good idea?" The friendly owner replied, "Oh, it's no problem at all." He looked like a mixed martial artist from a minor gym. I had two rounds of delicious food while drinking hot sake. Liver tare, seseri salt, sunazuri salt, bonjiri salt, back liver tare, tsukune tare. Delicious. Absolutely delicious. It was my first time visiting Asagaya. I found a delicious yakitori restaurant in a nice neighborhood. I will definitely come back.

This yakitori restaurant in Asagaya has a cozy atmosphere. The menu is extensive with more than just yakitori available. We indulged in dishes like seseri, skin, liver, heart, gizzard, garlic sprouts, eringi mushrooms, tsukune, wasabi chicken breast, cartilage, cheese okonomiyaki, leek and egg, octopus cartilage, and potato salad.

This time, I used the menu at the restaurant as a relay to the next shop. When looking at the menu, I noticed they have red Hoppy! I couldn't resist ordering red Hoppy with grated daikon and dried young sardines. It seems like the type of place where you order small dishes separately. It's a great place for a quick stop between restaurants.

I had the following items: cabbage as a starter, which was a nice palate cleanser. Among the yakitori, the liver and heart stood out as particularly delicious. The smell of cigarettes was a bit bothersome, but for 2500 yen per person, I am satisfied! I would like to visit again. - Yakitori: heart, tail, gizzard, green onion, liver, tsukune, wasabi-flavored (breast meat) - Potato salad - Chu-hai

I visited Asa-Tachi, a standing yakitori restaurant in Asagaya. I arrived around 23:00 for my second drink of the night. I ordered some yakitori and a few drinks. I had already been drinking before coming here, so I don't remember clearly, but I had a good time. I think I stayed until around 2-3 am.

Standing version of Kemuri chain, only in Asagaya called "Asa-dachi". The name is a bit difficult for women to say out loud. Recently, they also opened a place called "Tachippa" in Nishi-Ogikubo. The store is tiny, maybe only about 5 tatami mats, but surprisingly has regular customers. They served Tomato Highball, Seseri, Skin, and Korean seaweed brought by regular customers. It was a casual place. By the way, next to our store, there is an oden shop called Yonekyu, where you can try Chibita's oden, which is associated with Fujio Akatsuka.

I decided to try a new restaurant that I had never been to before, and I found this standing bar where I could grab a quick bite. The place was smaller than I expected, and it was already crowded when I arrived around 7 pm. There were about 5 people inside, and all the tables outside were taken. Luckily, a regular customer inside made some space for me, so I could sit down. I ordered shishito peppers, eringi mushrooms, asparagus, and okra, all grilled. The seasoning was just right, especially the salt level, which suited my taste perfectly. I also wanted to try the grilled chicken skewers next time. I definitely want to come back again! Second visit (no photos taken that time): I came back again, but due to some circumstances, I ended up ordering only vegetable skewers again. Even on my second visit, I still thought the food was delicious.

I went to Kagurazaka. I walked leisurely from the north exit of Kagurazaka and bathed at Tentokusen, which I had been interested in for a while. The regular bathing fee in Tokyo is 460 yen, with an additional 200 yen you can use the steam sauna without a time limit. The sauna was lukewarm, maybe around 60°C. The cold water bath was also lukewarm, around 20°C, but it's nice to be able to do proper warm and cold bathing in a public bath like this. The bath was at a suitable temperature of 42°C. There was a vibrating bath and a regular hot bath. After refreshing myself, I went to Asadachi. I went to the main building instead of the annex. The sky was cloudy, but regular customers were drinking outside without going inside. As a beginner, I went inside and ordered from the owner. I chose draft beer, Aizuchusho, grilled tomato skewers, and quail skewers, and octopus sashimi. A regular female customer was chatting with the owner about underground business. The tomato skewers were hot as expected, so be careful not to burn yourself. The quail eggs were unexpectedly half-cooked and the octopus portion was small with a lot of tips. I stayed for about 20 minutes and then finished. Thank you for the meal. I wandered around Star Road.

The standing bar "Asadachi" is always crowded with regular customers, making it difficult to get in. The interior of the bar is small, with room for about five people, but there are also standing tables outside where people gather. The staff, usually just one person, manage to serve the customers efficiently, as many of the regulars help themselves to drinks and move around. On this particular day, there were only two customers inside, so I decided to go in. I ordered a draft beer and received it promptly. The door was left open, so it was just as hot inside as it was outside. I enjoyed some "sardines and pickled myoga" as a snack. The kitchen is small, but the staff work hard to prepare the food. Despite the cramped space, the atmosphere is cozy and it's easy to see why this place is popular.

Asagaya Station North Exit, about a 2-minute walk away, there is a standing bar called "Asadachi". It has a unique name, but it is a solid restaurant that I sometimes use for meetings. The yakitori is delicious, and I always enjoy ordering a beer and a few skewers of yakitori. I particularly like the wasabi-grilled chicken breast. It's a small shop located on a corner, but for those who find standing difficult, there are also seats nearby that you can use. It's really interesting how these small drinking establishments are scattered throughout the town.

From Shibuya Center Street, took a bus to Asagaya for a nightcap. Wandered around the north exit while deciding where to finish the night, and stumbled upon Asadachi Hanare, a place I've been wanting to visit. Sat down at the cozy Hanare and ordered a refreshing Hoppy. They served a glass of Hoppy with ice and a small dish, along with a 7-tasting glass set to enjoy different flavors. I poured the Hoppy into the glass and savored the variety. The cabbage appetizer was delicious with miso, and I also ordered potato salad, chicken thigh, and chicken neck. The potato salad had a homemade feel and the grilled dishes were perfectly seasoned. Overall, a great experience. You can enjoy a variety of Hoppy flavors at a reasonable price. Asagaya Station's north exit Star Road is full of surprises - from Chin Ko En to Asadachi Hanare! (laughs)

After finishing the first round at Tachi Nomu Futa-kun, we decided to go for a second round at another popular standing bar in Asagaya, located about 10 seconds away from Futa-kun. The place had a sign that read "Asa Tachi" hanging outside, with a bold and challenging name. Even before going into Futa-kun, we checked out this place and it was already packed. After leaving Futa-kun, the inside was still full. So, we had no choice but to sit outside in the freezing cold winter night. It was January 14, 2019, 8:10 pm, with just two of us. The inside could only fit a few people. There was a separate building nearby, but we wanted to stick to standing and enjoy the vibe of Asa Tachi. Well, the separate building was also full anyway. We ordered a "Green Tea Highball (400 yen)" which came with a small glass filled with shochu and a small can of green tea. It was like getting two drinks for the price of one. We also tried the "Miso-pickled Daikon (100 yen)" which was surprisingly cheap. The "Pork Liver (140 yen)" was a decent size and cooked perfectly, with a nice balance of sweetness in the sauce. It was delicious. The "Grilled Pork Breast (140 yen)" had just the right amount of salt and was juicy without being dry. Overall, the food was great and we wished we could have tried more, but it was time to head to the next spot. This place gave off a great vibe and we will definitely stop by again when we're in Asagaya! Thank you for the meal!

"Asadachi"... I went in the evening, but "Asadachi" is a corner shop with a unique name typical of standing bars in Asagaya. I had a quick drink, pairing it with "yam and wasabi," and enjoyed some sake served by the friendly owner. This compact standing bar in Asagaya is perfect for bar hopping with drinking buddies. We started at another standing bar for our first drink and ended up here at "Asadachi," where half of us had to stand outside. I chose a sake from Kochi, the "Kure" for 400 yen, a dry and refreshing sake that would probably taste great warm as well. I had already eaten a lot at the previous place, so I just ordered the "yam and wasabi" for 300 yen, which was crunchy and refreshing. It seems like their specialty is grilled chicken skewers, so I'd love to come back to Asagaya and enjoy some grilled chicken skewers and sake at a leisurely pace next time. #Evening standing at "Asadachi" #Standing bar #Izakaya #Traditional pub

My go-to second spot for drinking in Asagaya. Today, I enjoyed standing outside and having a drink. The cost performance is as great as always, with the skewers and appetizers all exceeding their prices. The preparation and grilling are perfect. There are also nearby stores where you can sit down.
