Tatemichiya

Once in a while, you come across these quirky little restaurants that remind you why you love Tokyo so much. This is one of them. It captures a certain, grunge Americana vibe that I don’t even find back in the States, but for some reason Japan continues to carry. But I’m all here for it. There are old rock band posters on the wall, a cigarette vending machine, and just overall nice homey vibes with the floor seating on the second floor. I should mention the food. The skewers are solid, but man, that lamb skewer was my favorite dish. The beef radish soup was also great.

My group of 4 showed up thinking we had reservations, but it turns out, had mistakenly booked for the previous night. Nonetheless, Tatemichiya was so kind and generous to try and squeeze us in on a busy Friday night. Great vibey atmosphere. Must try the savoury marinated burdock appetiser. Also get the table grilled dried stingray (Eihire) and a big log of warm and steamy tamago roll for the cold rainy night. Our corner table was cosy but couldn’t really hear the music above the loud Fintech/Crypto bros at the table next to us. wwwww. Will have to try and sit at the bar counter the next time. :) 美味しいかったですね！ありがとうございました。

This has been easily our favourite restaurant in Tokyo. Amazing music and ambiance. The service is superb and what can I say about the chef… he’s just amazing. Highly recommend the steamed sirloin, enoki and pork skewers, chicken and onion skewers… we wish we had more days to try all the menu. Thank you team!

I went here with one of my best mates and my daughter who insisted we go. One of her favourite artists had previously visited and drawn on the walls inside. Not knowing what to expect I was blown away by the atmosphere, food and especially the whiskey pours. The staff were fantastic, the owner was a legend and it topped off a great Japanese holiday.

Love the vibe. My friends who live in Tokyo recommended this place for sake and yakitori. The sake was delicious and the food was excellent. Super affordable! Recommend the grilled corn!

We are in love with this place. For our last night in Tokyo we were able to make a reservation on the phone and could sit by the counter. Everyone was so friendly, warm and the atmosphere was magnificent. The food was 10/10 and one of the few places that considers vegetarians as well. Thank you, this was such a beautiful experience that we will never forget.

The food was good but the 5 stars is for the atmosphere. It was a very fun Izakaya and a great place to sit with friends. The cabbage was fantastic!

A fun place, casual, good food, great atmosphere, punk vibes…
