I was invited to a delicious restaurant and decided to go. I thought it would mainly be yakitori, but the menu was full of options. The restaurant is not very spacious. I went on a Saturday evening and it wasn't too crowded at first, but it quickly became full within about 30 minutes. I recommend going early. All the yakitori was delicious, but the bonjiri was especially amazing! Both the salt and sauce flavors were tasty, and I could eat as many as I wanted. The beer kept flowing. The liver sashimi, yukke, and the recommended menu item of a three-piece white fish platter were also delicious. The staff were very friendly and attentive, providing cheerful and energetic service. I would love to go back soon.

I went for a day drink and because it's cheap, the service isn't great. It was full even though it was daytime. We stayed until 3 o'clock and the simmered dish was delicious. The rest was just average, but it's a popular place. They opened at 1 o'clock and filled up quickly.

It's cheap~ I've never felt that Kita-Senju is cheap, but this place is cheap! Ordered: negima kawa x2, seseri hatsu, kabocha ginnan, tsukune, gyu horumon, free coupon for 3 skewers set x2, kawa, negima, liver, green tea cocktail x3, jasmine tea cocktail x2. All this eating and drinking for 3,600 yen is cheap! The taste is good too, very satisfied. However, the 10 yen maguro was sold out and the frog was sold out. Especially the frog, I was looking forward to it from checking the menu before visiting, so it was disappointing. At the counter seat by the wall, there is a system where you squeeze a yellow doll tightly in response to the staff's call, making a subtle sound like "puan", so the staff doesn't know where it was sounded, you have to raise your hand to get their attention...

This is also a shop that I can't help but visit. I love the counter here. This time, I was surprised by the potato salad. It's a potato croquette that you break apart and mix in with the potato salad. Honestly, it's delicious, and when I'm a little tipsy, this breaking apart process tickles my inner child. The crispy texture of the coating adds a new dimension to the potato salad. Definitely give it a try.

Since December 2016, this is my second time in Kita-Senju. I'd like to briefly reflect on my first experience in Kita-Senju. On that day, I leisurely ran along the Arakawa River at a pace of about 10km/h for 20km, then sweated it out at a public bath. After that, I ended up at a chain izakaya where I drank a lot. I don't remember how I got home, but I do remember that I somehow ended up barefoot. To make matters worse, the NIKE running shoes I was wearing were brand new, bought just the day before. My first experience in Kita-Senju was quite bittersweet. Fast forward to now, I visited Kita-Senju at night and I really liked the lively atmosphere. Without any prior research or specific places in mind to visit, I was drawn to a sign for "50 yen yakitori" and decided to go in. I ordered Hoppy White and what seemed to be a bargain 10 yen sashimi, but they were sold out. So, I settled for Firefly Squid with vinegar miso and Bigfin Reef Squid for 390 yen each. The Firefly Squid looked impressive for the price, but the amount of innards was disappointing. The Bigfin Reef Squid, on the other hand, was unappetizing. Next up, cup noodles in a mug. It was Nissin's Chicken Ramen or something similar, but the portion was too small to be satisfying. Please take note. Finally, the main event - the 50 yen yakitori. Despite the option of 90 yen items, I stubbornly went for 50 yen chicken wings and neck meat, each with salt seasoning. For the price, I was pleasantly surprised by the appearance and taste. Even after eating 10 pieces of chicken wings and neck meat, it only cost 1,000 yen. Isn't that amazing? In the end, I felt like I had turned the tables and scored a big win in a game of mahjong. With a sense of satisfaction, I bid Kita-Senju a temporary farewell.

Thank you for always taking care of us! Cheap, delicious, and open late. This is the kind of place you end up coming back to. Everything on the menu is delicious, especially the tomato ajillo which was amazing. I wonder if they still have it? The overall atmosphere of the restaurant is lively and not exactly clean, but it's cozy and you end up staying longer than planned. Personally, I think it's the representative izakaya of Kitasenju.

I visited around 6:50 PM on July 9, 2022, and ordered the assorted grilled chicken skewers and a lemon sour. I came here after watching a baseball game, which unfortunately didn't end well. But that's how it goes, looking forward to the next one. We held a "disappointment gathering" here. This place offers great value for money. I had been curious about it before when I was nearby. The taste of the grilled chicken was decent, but at this price, I have no complaints. I was also interested in the 10 yen sashimi, but it was sold out that day. Too bad. The drinks are also affordable, making it easy to enjoy. Thank you for the meal.

I had always wanted to visit this restaurant. The yakitori is only 50 yen each, and based on reviews, other dishes are also highly praised. Today, I had some business in the Kita district and went out with my drinking buddy daughter. After finishing our business, when it came to choosing where to eat, between 1) a nearby family restaurant, 2) having lunch around Komagome, or 3) yakitori in Kitasenju, we chose 3 without hesitation!! So, we arrived at around 4:30 pm. Despite the time, the restaurant was quite crowded. However, we were seated without having to wait. Before entering, the staff checked our temperature and sanitized our hands. Although there were only two of us, they seated us at a table for four. Until 7 pm, most drinks were only 290 yen. We started with draft beer, simmered offal, a platter of tuna, and 10 yen sashimi (today it was squid). Everything was delicious. The simmered offal, which had been highly praised in reviews, was full of various ingredients, steaming hot, and absolutely delicious! The squid sashimi was also tasty, even though the portion was small. We each ordered about 7 skewers of yakitori and some french fries, and had several drink refills, probably around 7 drinks each. We ate and drank until we were full. The bill came to about 2500 yen per person. It's really cheap! I was quite drunk, so I think I may have forgotten to use the coupon for the simmered offal. Still, at this price. By the time we left, there were a few people waiting. The restaurant is quite noisy, so it may not be suitable for those who want to have a quiet conversation, but it was a great experience. Of course, my drinking buddy daughter also loved it!

The seating fee is 300 yen, but you can have unlimited refills of cabbage. The daily 10 yen sashimi was sold out, but the service of premium beef tripe stew with a value of 590 yen was appreciated. The mega-sized jug is 2.5 times the regular size, with draft beer for 980 yen or draft grapefruit sour for 900 yen. The frozen lemon sour for 490 yen, equivalent to one whole frozen lemon, may seem a bit lacking in quantity. The new style potato salad for 530 yen is actually a mix of potato croquettes and other ingredients. The 50 yen grilled chicken skewers are cheap, but the quality matches the price, so there's no need to order them actively.

A shop located in a slightly intricate alley corner. The solid guard at the entrance was a little intimidating, but I was convinced that the shop was safe with thorough measures against COVID-19. There was a bit of a wait due to the popular shop being a bit crowded. I ordered a variety of dishes. I was grateful to be able to order the extra serving of tuna that I was looking for! Everything was delicious and went well with drinks. The staff were friendly and made the dining experience enjoyable. I recommend the simmered offal! There were spicy options available, but I chose this one. As a result, I ended up visiting two days in a row. I found a great restaurant!

I came here with friends for a drink and we toasted with Okinawa Blue. We started with the addictive Eringi Butter. For the main course, we ordered a combination of 6 grilled chicken skewers, 5 grilled pork skewers, and 6 grilled vegetables skewers, all with the option of salt or sauce, and we chose salt. Each skewer (except for the pork skewers) cost 50 yen. The salt seasoning was just right, and I especially enjoyed the pork skewers with mayonnaise. The pork intestines and pork stomach were cooked perfectly, with a tender texture. The frog skewer had a mild flavor similar to chicken, but with an amazing chewy texture. Unfortunately, the 10 yen sashimi was sold out that day. Overall, it's a great place to enjoy a variety of grilled skewers and other appetizers in a casual setting.

In Kita-Senju, there are a few late-night options for izakaya hopping after 9 pm. Among them is this place. Normally, I wouldn't choose it, but for a third stop, as long as I can sit and drink, it's fine. As the name suggests, this place is known for its \50 yakitori. I haven't seen it in person, but judging from the menu, the portions seem decent. And the fact that they offer a variety of choices for only \50 each is impressive. It's no wonder that it's popular among young people. They also have a one-coin offer for fresh tuna sashimi, which is a great deal. Plus, they have a limited quantity of \10 sashimi, adding to the chaos. This place is quick and casual. I actually feel like crashing a dive bar nearby after this, but due to my budget, I have to pass and head home quietly.

Kinchanchan, a popular restaurant located in a back alley just beyond the bustling city, was a bit intimidating to enter due to its frequent media coverage and popularity. However, despite my questionable behavior, I managed to get a seat (laughs). The counter was spaced out nicely, allowing me to place my bag next to me without bumping elbows with others. I started with a cabbage appetizer and plum wine on the rocks for a toast. Knowing the unspoken rule that ordering the same drink again gets it served quickly, I happily ordered another one. The 10 yen limited menu items were sold out, so I opted for a tuna sashimi platter, red sausages, assorted grilled chicken skewers with salt, and grilled pork skewers with sauce. The tuna was fresh and flavorful, the red sausages were nostalgic and delicious, and the grilled chicken and pork skewers were of good quality. I switched to a lemon sour for my second drink and enjoyed some pickled eggplant, pickled yam, and pork cartilage with green onion. Overall, except for the slightly salty pork cartilage, everything was worth more than the price paid. Even though I forgot to use a coupon, I left the restaurant after spending around 3,000 yen per person (with a 2-hour all-you-can-drink option). I then visited another popular spot, Toriyaro, in the east exit area for a quick drink to end the day. It was a feast in the northern area after a long time. Thank you for the meal!

In Kita-Senju, there is a lively restaurant popular among young people, perhaps because it is cheap. Upon entering, the staff takes your temperature and sprays sanitizer on your hands. It's a smoking allowed place, so there's quite a bit of smoke. The grilled chicken skewers, which you can eat for just 50 yen, are a big hit. The beef tendon stew is served in a bubbling hot pot and you can season it with red pickled ginger and yuzu pepper. The grilled chicken skewers have a taste that matches the low price, but it's hard to complain when it's so cheap. The tsukune (chicken meatballs) are around 300 yen and are in the higher price range, but they were delicious. The restroom is unisex, and it seems a bit messy probably because of the men, but that was a memorable scene from this place.

This is a 50 yen yakitori shop. I ordered the Black Hoppy set. The sashimi for 10 yen was sold out. The appetizer is 300 yen and it's all-you-can-eat cabbage. I also ordered the Tsukimi Tsukune (2 for 300 yen), Liver (salt, 50 yen), and Heart (90 yen). The Tsukimi comes with bread and you can eat the remaining yolk with it. The liver is tender and plump, while the heart is softer and smaller than usual. I also ordered a 200 yen shochu. I got the Negima (50 yen), Seseri (50 yen), and Pork Guts (90 yen), all seasoned with salt. I had another round of shochu. The pork guts have a nice original flavor, and adding a bit of salt is a good idea. The seseri was interesting, and the negima was plump and delicious. Overall, I had a great time.

I made a stop at Kinchan-ya in Kita-Senju on my way back from Ashikaga City in Gunma Prefecture! They offer 10 yen sashimi and 50 yen yakitori. The 10 yen sashimi included 3 pieces of fresh and delicious squid sashimi. The 50 yen yakitori had good volume and was tasty. I had two beers and two lemon sours with some snacks, and the total came to 1,800 yen per person. Highly recommended!

I got off at Kitasenju and wandered around, where I found a yakitori place selling skewers for 50 yen each! It's 50 yen cheaper, right? There were quite a few yakitori shops in the nearby alleys. A draft beer costs 480 yen, and until 7 pm on weekdays, drinks are 290 yen, which is great for those who work at companies and start drinking early. When I thought about ordering skewers, the staff informed me that there was sashimi for 10 yen! I ordered it and got a cute portion of salmon sashimi for 10 yen, which was amazing. Other dishes besides skewers ranged from around 350 yen to 700 yen on the izakaya menu. Since I came for the skewers, I didn't order anything else this time. The skewers ranged from 50 yen to 90 yen, including skewers like tsukune without green onions, chicken thigh skewers, chicken wings, and more. There were also pork skewers, my favorite skewers like cartilage and knee cartilage, which were crunchy and slightly smaller in size, cheap, quick, and with a wide variety, making this shop very convenient. The skewers were reasonably priced, while the other dishes were relatively standard in terms of pricing. Enjoying skewers early while drinking discounted drinks is the best way to enjoy this restaurant. Thank you for the meal. I look forward to visiting again.

I visited the restaurant after my hospital visit. It was still 3:00 PM and most places were still preparing, so I decided to go to this place that opens at 1:00 PM. It's located across from Akamaru-ya. This chain restaurant offers yakitori for only 50 yen per skewer. It seemed like a good deal. There were no other customers at this time, so it felt like a private dining experience. I ordered a draft beer for happy hour, not realizing it applied at this time. The cabbage and pepper appetizer was okay. I also had a lemon sour drink, which was easy to drink but didn't taste very alcoholic. The prices shown without tax were a bit confusing. I also tried some additional skewers like duck meat, green onion with meat, liver, gingko nuts, and shishito peppers. I showed a coupon from the restaurant's website and got 3 extra skewers for free. I decided to try some sake as it was getting cold. The first one I wanted was sold out, so I got a drier one called Hyakunenro. I added some chestnuts and shishito peppers to my order. I also tried a dish called Jitokko, a specialty from Miyazaki prefecture, but it was a bit too heavy on the black sauce. Overall, the taste was decent for a chain restaurant. Thank you for the meal.

[3.5 rating] A little detour from Kitasenju Station West Exit, through the side street next to Fuji Soba, turn left at the end, then turn left at "Hechimon" shop to find the restaurant on the left side. There are also places like "Jinzaemon" on the same street. I visited in the early evening on a weekday. The restaurant is open from around noon. There were about 2 groups of customers already there, and more arrived later. Inside, there is a counter surrounding the area, with about 3 tables for 4 people and 1 table for 2 people. Music is playing. The main branch is in Tsudanuma, Chiba, and they have other branches in Kinshicho and Morishita. I ordered two lime sours for 290 yen each, squid sashimi for 10 yen, wasabi-pickled yamaimo (Japanese mountain yam) for 280 yen, kanpachi (amberjack) for 480 yen, and a set of 3 yakitori skewers (liver, skin, negima) for 150 yen. There is a seating charge of 300 yen (excluding tax). The sours are usually 390 yen, but they have a Happy Hour from Monday to Thursday from 1 pm to 7 pm where they are 290 yen. Each yakitori skewer is 50 yen. My impression was that it's a good deal to come early on weekdays. The drink prices are 100 yen cheaper during Happy Hour. It feels more worth it when the prices are lower. There are also 10 yen sashimi and 50 yen yakitori, making it very cost-effective. The taste is decent for the price, better than supermarket quality. The kanpachi stood out for its richness, justifying its price. The menu has a variety of options, ranging from expensive to affordable. Overall, if you want to drink cheaply from early hours, this place might be useful. Just be careful as the door next to the entrance is quite stiff. Thank you for the meal.

It's cost-effective and you can enjoy it quite deliciously!

I missed taking a photo. They offer yakitori, happy hour for daytime drinking, and even 10 yen sashimi! It was a great deal for drinks and food. The staff, especially the cute waitress, was lovely. The 50 yen yakitori is unbelievably cheap, but surprisingly delicious! The tuna sashimi was also very tasty. They have a wide variety of snacks and are highly recommended compared to other places. They even have potato fries. I was already full after having horse sashimi and local chicken. Next time, I want to try all the skewers!
