Top 3 Izakayas in Shibuya Recommended by a Local Japanese!

Hello!

This is Kimu from Capsule Hotel Suzumoriya (カプセルホテル鈴森屋)!

Today, let’s talk about Shibuya, a major bustling area in Tokyo!

When you think of Shibuya, what comes to mind?

For me, the Hachiko statue comes to mind first.

I often encountered Shibuya and Hachiko through the manga ‘Super Gals’ when I was a kid. I vividly remember gradually dreaming about Shibuya and Japan through ‘Super Gals.’

What’s Hachiko?

Late Hachiko (C) Wikipedia

Hachiko is a famous dog in Japan known for waiting for his owner at the station even after the owner had passed away.

There is a related movie called ‘Hachi: A Dog’s Tale.’

Recently, an anime related to Shibuya was released!

Yes, it’s Jujutsu Kaisen(呪術廻戦)!

The scenery in Jujutsu Kaisen and the actual appearance of Shibuya are very similar, which amazed me.

For these reasons, when I think of Shibuya, I think of the anime I’ve watched.

How about you?

Everyone probably has different ways and reasons for thinking about Shibuya.

Regardless of the ways and reasons, Shibuya is a must-visit course when you come to Tokyo.

This place has a relatively glamorous feel. It’s more like a neo-izakaya.

They have a sour cocktail called ‘Fruits Gorogoro Sour’ with whole pieces of fruit in it.

Delicious food with many side dishes.

Recommended dish is ‘Carbonara Rice’ as a finishing dish.


③ Kunnamashi (くんなまし)

Google Maps link

This place has a woody interior with slightly dim lighting, creating a nice atmosphere.

It’s an interesting place with a two-story seating area inside.

Compared to the other two places, it has a wider variety of alcohol. Besides regular beer, sours, and shochu, you can enjoy cocktails as well.

The food, especially the meat dishes, is delicious. You can have dishes like horse meat sashimi, beef tongue, and grilled pork kimchi with cheese on a hot plate.

If I share this information on the internet, I might not be able to go.

If you’re looking for a place to eat or drink in Shibuya, I recommend visiting these places!

I will continue to share a lot of information diligently!

Thank you again for today!
