Introduction~ A lively chicken specialty bar along the Ueno train tracks ~ After getting off at Ueno Station, head in the opposite direction of Ameyoko and Ueno Park, towards the street leading to Okachimachi, where you'll find Torimichi Sakaba for a drink! Perhaps due to the influence of COVID-19, the street seems less crowded... and the restaurant was not full, so we could easily walk in. The staff were mostly of Asian descent, and the female staff were very polite and welcoming.
Menu~ Reasonably priced, making it easy and enjoyable to drink and eat at this bar~
① Assorted skewers (5 pieces for 490 yen) - At less than 100 yen per skewer, it's quite affordable! From chicken thighs to negima, pork belly, bonjiri, and quail, it's a great lineup. Enjoyed them with the sauce.
② Deep-fried tofu (390 yen) - Warms you up on cold days, and at a reasonable price! A must-order for me when I go to izakayas.
③ Chicken thigh yukke (490 yen) - I don't often have the chance to eat this, so I tried it. Covered in green onions and quail egg yolk, it was delicious.
④ Squid salted guts (290 yen) - A decent amount for a very cheap price! It's also available with white rice, making it a great combination.
Conclusion~ Incredibly affordable, making it easy for students with tight budgets to enjoy!~ The delicious food at a reasonable quality and low prices make it very satisfying. There are various types of skewers starting at 100 yen each. It's a great place to indulge in skewers. Thank you for the meal.
