Hitting 300yen Bar On The Way Home in Shirogane

Since 3Coin Tachinomiya in Takanawa was the starting point of my pilgrimage to Tokyo cheap eateries, I cannot talk about my passion for Tachinomi (Standing bar) without introducing this bar. 3Coin Tachinomiya is a neighborhood bar that attracts young and old professionals on the way home from work. We all know of the harsh and cruel Japanese businessone world and one way to relax at the end of the day is a friendly post-work drink at a bar. 3 Coin Tachinomiya is truly a perfect place for such drink. You open a door, and friendly energetic bartenders welcome you in with echoing "irasshaimase,"and you know you can relax. 3 Coin Tachinomiya is an unpretentious spot to spend a low-key night or meet up with friends for a post-work drink.

A stylish neighborhood pub which is directly managed by sake brewery in Nagano, Ito Shuzo. In Ito Shuzo, everything is handcrafted. 3 Coin Tachinomi Bar is the only place that you can taste Ito shuzo's self praised- Yokobue sake. Along with its ebisu beer, variety of shochu, chuhai (shochu cocktail), and numerous choice of traditional Japanese drinking snack, this special sake Yokobue is also priced 300yen.

If you want some snack to keep your thirst going, try ordering some traditional Japanese drinking food, ranging from Tamagoyaki (Japanese flavored omlet), Asazuke (pickled vegetable), Edamame or Tofu. If you are brave enough, try the Stir fried gizzards with ginger, Sunakimo (deep fried chicken hearts), or Ikanuta (Japanese squid, seaweed, pickled cucumber). After all, you are in a traditional Japanese bar!
