Tori-ichizu
This time, two adult men spent a total of 6,587 yen. We drank a lot of alcohol. It’s heaven for those who love alcohol.

The sign is awesome. Lemon sour for 80 yen a glass. It’s heaven for drinkers. Beer is also 299 yen. Other drinks are 199 yen. There’s a saying in Japan: “Cheap and tasty.” This is what makes a good casual restaurant in Japan.

Other items include chicken for 59 yen and yakitori for 99 yen—cheaper than buying bottled water.


It’s fairly crowded. The restaurant is quite spacious. There are many office workers.
My favorite bargain chicken
The rumored super cheap chicken. It’s actually pretty tasty. You could eat it forever. It’s soy sauce flavored.
In my experience, chicken this cheap and delicious is rare.




Other menu items are also delicious for the price. The portions feel a bit small, but they’re still enjoyable.
Whether you’re a solo traveler looking for a quick bite or a group wanting to experience a Japanese Izakaya night, Tori-ichizu UenoOkachimachi provides high-quality chicken dishes at prices you won’t believe.
