no, that’s the tiny, stand-up tapas bar in Koenji. The $$ izakaya is also listed at the end, but under the Tokyo restaurants:
and yes, haha, but it may be too early to start booking for 2027!
Thank you for a wonderful report. Glad you had a great time. In Koenji, there is a cafe that serves specialty coffee during the day and becomes a cool DJ bar on certain nights. It’s called “Incredible Coffee.”

Thank you!
interesting! Apparently there are a lot of DJ bars in that area.
Oh Maria! I was mesmerized by Japan in 2019 and I’d so love to return - especially with your list in hand. Thanks for the pix and comments. Quite a vicarious thrill.

That is an epic report! Thank you so much for sharing it! I still find it amazing that I heard for years that Tokyo/Japan at large was so expensive, but like you, I think it is not only great food, but frequently a bargain, as well.
Thanks again!

thanks! yes, and I think with the yen being so weak, it may continue to be so, unfortunately for them, but fortunately for travelers. I have read that Japan is instituting new pricing in some areas, however - charging tourists more for some attractions, historical sites, for example. They had a record-breaking amount of tourists in 2024.
