An izakaya under the JR railway viaduct, marked by its red lanterns. Payment is cash-on-the-spot — you place your money in a basket. A three-skewer yakitori assortment is ¥850, and there are also house-made gyoza with Aomori-grown garlic and nukazuke pickles.
A long-established tavern founded in 1939 (Showa 14). It carries 41 kinds of famous sake from across Japan, handled since the grandfather's generation, and the most popular is Kiku-Masamune cask sake poured from a four-to (about 72-liter) barrel. Enjoy it cold or warmed to taste alongside classic snacks such as the specialty kusaya (fermented dried fish) at ¥900 or salmon at ¥900. Reopened after renovation in December 2022.
A down-to-earth teppan izakaya in the Yaechika underground mall, hung with red lanterns. The top recommendation is Hot-Ton (¥820), mochibuta pork belly stir-fried in a doubanjiang-based sauce. The ¥980 light-drinking set of miso-simmered beef offal with one drink is available all day, so you can start drinking from midday.
An izakaya that originated in Osaka. Its roots are as a liquor store, so the sake selection is deep, with labels such as Akita's "Takashimizu" and "Goshun" from Ikeda in Osaka, shipped directly from the brewery. Kyobashi tamagoyaki, cabbage wrapped in a rolled omelet, is ¥540, and the signature Tokuda-mori (fish) platter is ¥2,480. It opens at noon, so daytime drinking is welcome too.
A shop in one corner of Rokkakubashi Shopping Street. The second floor also has about six table seats.
There is no sign; look for the round light bulb and the dark navy noren curtain. Dishes such as fritto of zucchini blossoms and shrimp bisque are all plated in single portions.
A charcoal-grill restaurant in Ofuna. It has been featured on Yoshida Rui's Sakaba Hōrōki.
