Bakawarai Junsui

"One of the first izakayas I ever experienced after moving to Kichijoji. Super welcoming, hilarious staff, and epic food. The locals are friendly here and expect some happy drunken conversation as everyone unwinds. Lineups on the weekend, so try stopping by mid-week. No english menu, but just tell the chef what you like, they're great. I recommend the egg roll with soft pork (tamagoyaki) the sashimi of the day, the potato salad, and the yaki-soba (stir fried noodles with egg). The sake selction is top-tier, enjoy a few cups and tell them Martina sent you!"
