"Follow the red “On Air” sign hanging overhead, descend one level below the street, and step into dark, cavernous, graffiti-covered Sake Bar Decibel, which feels like a direct portal into any of Golden Gai’s miniscule, unpretentious, divey bars. Since 1993, Decibel has been an industry favorite beloved for its no-frills ambiance, wide selection of 150 sakes, and late hours. It’s open until 3 a.m. every day other than Sunday for Japanese bar food like okonomiyaki (savory pancake), takowasa (octopus with wasabi), and ankimo (monkfish liver, regarded as the foie gras of the sea)." - Kat Odell
