Since the coronavirus pandemic, I have visited this restaurant several times and have been turned away due to it being fully booked more often. However, I don't mind because it shows how popular it is. This time, I arrived early and was able to enjoy a solo drink at the counter. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere with dim lighting, which makes it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. The dishes are priced around 500 yen each, but they are of good quality and pair well with alcohol. This is one of my favorite places that I confidently recommend to others. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Today I was hoping to be able to get in, as it's been getting popular again lately, but I thought it might be impossible. I decided to ask anyway, and luckily a regular customer offered to share their table with me, so I got a seat! I ended up ordering a lot of food and drinks, so the bill was a bit high, but everything was delicious. I especially liked the grilled horse mackerel meatballs, the marinated black sardines, and the marinated herring with ginger. I was told that they can hold a table for me if I call ahead next time, so I'll do that!

The cooking level is on a different level. Everything is seasoned perfectly to go with alcohol, making it irresistible for drinkers. Plus, it's a standing bar, so the cost performance is incredible. It's like having a monster with 2000 defense points in Yu-Gi-Oh without needing a sacrifice. Reminds me of the Rock Ogre Grotto #1. Hats off to them. I'll definitely be back.

Do you like sake? Do you want to drink while enjoying a variety of small dishes? If so, come here. We have a lineup that will satisfy even the most hardcore sake lovers. The owner, who used to work at a Japanese restaurant, creates delicious dishes. The atmosphere is so inviting that you'll forget you're standing. The restaurant's ratings on food review websites are constantly rising, making it even harder to get a table at this already popular spot.

Visited in the early evening on a weekday. There was just one seat left when I arrived. [Points] - A standing bar with a wide variety of sake and seafood dishes - High-quality food - Operation: Multiple staff members - Customer base: Mostly male - Payment: PayPay accepted - No cover charge or service fee - Online reservations available for solo diners - No lunchtime service - Solo dining possible - Google rating: 4.4 - Tabelog rating and general impression: 3.47, seems accurate [About the Restaurant] Located near Taharamachi in Asakusa, this standing bar specializes in seafood and sake. It has been gaining popularity on social media for some reason. It is conveniently close to the station. [Interior] The restaurant has standing and some seating areas. It is a compact establishment. Since I visited shortly after opening on a weekday, there was a strong presence of regular customers. [Food] I had 3 types of sake in 5-ounce servings and the following dishes: - Blackthroat seaperch and herring with pickled ginger - Mirugai (geoduck clam) and tsubugai (whelk) sashimi - Roast beef [Food Impressions] The menu is extensive, with all dishes being great choices for pairing with sake. The seafood dishes are plentiful and delicious, and there are also other excellent options for snacks. The sake selection is diverse, with premium options available in 5-ounce servings at a slightly higher price, but other options can be ordered by the cup for around 500 yen, which is reasonable. The roast beef is a popular item and indeed very tasty, moist, and flavorful. The food quality is higher than typical standing bars, although the limited space can be a drawback. Overall, it was a cozy place where you might want to take your time.

Visited on Sunday at 14:30. About a 4-minute walk from Tahara-cho. I was curious so I made it my first stop alone. The interior of the restaurant has 8 counter seats and some table counters with partitions for shared seating. I had a Premium Malt 500 and seared mackerel sashimi with grated mountain yam for 450 yen. The combination of wasabi, mackerel sweetness, and vinegar was delicious. The dishes ranged from 400 to 500 yen. I also tried the Akayane (red pepper) with sansho pepper for 800 yen and the coriander ohitashi for 450 yen, which was refreshing. If you don't mind coriander, this dish is a must-try. The dashi in this ohitashi was quite tasty. The service was good, and the dishes were carefully prepared and delicious. It seems like most of the customers are regulars, and everyone was friendly and easy to talk to. The owner, or someone who seemed like the owner, even approached me and included me in the conversation. Thank you for the meal! (*´▽｀*)

If you love sake, you should visit this standing bar. The atmosphere is great, the sake is delicious, the food is tasty, and the cost performance is excellent. The service is impeccable, and even if you're not knowledgeable about sake, you'll definitely enjoy it. It may be difficult to invite a high-heeled lady due to the standing style, but it's perfect for a casual situation with close friends, enjoying delicious food and drinks quickly. The sashimi, shellfish, vegetable snacks, and grilled meat are all excellent. Enjoying tasty sake and snacks, you can expect a bill around 3000 yen. If it's nearby, you'll find yourself going there again and again.

I met up with friends and went to a friend's favorite restaurant. It was described as a standing bar, so I didn't have high expectations, but it pleasantly surprised me. Every dish I ordered had a great taste of the ingredients with some clever touches. They had a wide selection of sake that paired well with the food. The prices were also very reasonable, with most dishes costing under 500 yen. And despite the low prices, the portions were not small at all. I have truly found a gem of a restaurant!

After having a good meal and drinks, the stylish individual started with a dry sake and gradually moved towards sweeter options. All the sake they tried this time were to their liking. The Nana Mizu ARCADIA with a Japan Sake Meter Value of -47 was particularly enjoyable. It was described as a refined sake. The Cosmos from Shinsei Brewery had a nice balance of acidity and sweetness, while the Ocean99 from Kankiku was similarly delicious. Despite trying a variety of sake, they were pleasantly surprised by the affordable prices. It was a happy and enjoyable night filled with delicious sake.

A friend who found out that I was in Tokyo invited me to go drinking in Asakusa. I couldn't possibly turn down such an invitation, right? I had no idea where I was going and ended up getting off at Asakusa-bashi Station instead of heading to Kaminarimon, which was a bit embarrassing (laughs). We met up in front of Kaminarimon Gate and walked through the crowded Nakamise Street to the so-called "Hoppy Street". After having a drink or two there, we tried to go to the next bar, but it was closed. We were unsure of what to do next when we stumbled upon "Asakusa Tachinomi Sharemon", a standing bar. The exterior and the menu posted at the entrance made us decide to go in. The interior was cozy and dimly lit with a standing counter for about 10 people and a reserved private room with seating for about 8 people. It had a nice atmosphere. Since we had beer on "Hoppy Street", I decided to start with sake here. I tried the "Kachikoma Junmai Namazake" from Toyama's Seito Sake Brewery, a rare sake known for its limited production, and it was indeed delicious. It was a bit early, but they had "Kohada Vinegared Fish (350 yen)" on the menu. I love Kohada, and it's not easy to find in Okinawa, so whenever I come across it on the mainland, I can't help but order it. And for only 350 yen, it was a steal! The "Hanamizuki Junmai Ginjo Dewasansan" from Akita's Ryokan Sake Brewery was a fresh and juicy sake with a refreshing taste. It's not easy to come by, so I had to try it. The "Grilled Pork with Black Salt Potato Salad (450 yen)" was a simple potato salad with plenty of thinly sliced grilled pork and a black salt that added a nice accent. The "Eijun Junmai Ginjo Yamada Nishiki Fire" from Mie's Kiya Masamune Sake Brewery was a well-balanced sake with umami, acidity, and a slight gas sensation. It was a representative of delicious Japanese sake. The "Sweet and Spicy Simmered Red Clam (450 yen)" had a chewy texture and paired perfectly with the sake's umami. It's a perfect dish to enjoy with your drink. I also tried the "Soga Pale E Fisuiria Sonton" from Nagano's Obuse Winery. It's a sake made by the winery during the off-season, and it had a light acidity and a fresh taste, resembling white wine. The "Grilled Horse Mackerel Minced Meat with Smoked Daikon Radish Tartar (450 yen)" was a unique dish with grilled mackerel and a smoked daikon radish tartar sauce, which added a smoky flavor. I also tried a sake that was not on the menu, the "Kansugi Fukoku Nihonbare Junmai Namazake", which was offered to me at a discounted price. The owner had a lot of stock of sake that was not listed on the menu. The "Iwanori Cream Cheese" was a light snack that paired well with the sake. The "Inato Agave Doburoku Series" from Aichi's Kami Sugi Sake Brewery was a sake made with hops, which added a refreshing bitterness to the aftertaste. It was recommended to mix it with beer in a 1:1 ratio, and it created an interesting flavor. The "Hokkai Tsubugai Ginger Simmered" was a dish with a unique flavor of clam broth and liver bitterness. Lastly, I tried the "Tosa Tsuru Azure Junmai Ginjo" from Kochi's Tosa Tsuru Sake Brewery, which had a fruity acidity and a smooth sweetness, resembling eating fruits. The stylish bottle made it look cool and not like a typical sake bottle. The lineup of sake was impressive, and the food was equally delicious.

After drinking beer, we had a meeting to decide where to drink next. We ended up at a standing sake bar that we wanted to try! Starting with the Soga Pale et Fis, a sweet sake that I really liked from another sake bar before. For food, we had whale sashimi, stir-fried raw lamb with black salt, and Toro Taku with Korean seaweed. The sake we tried was Shin Takachiyo, sweet with a hint of acidity, a taste I've never experienced before! Everything paired well with the sake, and the dishes were reasonably priced with good portion sizes. The most expensive dish was 550 yen, but everything was so delicious that you might end up eating too much! Lastly, we had the Hiramasu sashimi, and when we asked for a sake recommendation to pair with it, we were suggested Asamayama, which was a great match. Overall, a very satisfying standing sake bar. I will definitely go back again.

It is a bit far from Asakusa Station but very stylish and nice! The food was just the right amount and price for each dish, perfect for a second stop. There is a standing counter space near the entrance, but there are also two tables in the back that can seat four people each, so it should be fine if you make a reservation early. However, the tables are slightly close together, so if that doesn't bother you, it's good.

Popular standing bar in Asakusa area. The service is pleasant, and the food and drinks are good, making you want to visit again. Even ordering beer, two types of sake, and several dishes, the price is surprisingly in the 3000 yen range. It is recommended to visit early as popular dishes may sell out. - Garlic-fried oysters - Grilled tenmame beans #StandingBarAsakusaStylish #StandingBar #Sake #TenmameBeans #AsakusaIzakayaWataroku

It's a standing bar with a lively atmosphere. While looking for a second place to visit, I happened to come across a lantern in a back alley. I was about to pass by, but I heard cheerful voices from inside, so I decided to go in. The place was almost full and bustling. There was only one table in the back. The dishes were delicious and had a special touch, and there was a wide variety of sake. Since it was already my second stop, I didn't eat much and just had a few drinks before heading home, but I felt like I wanted to come back. It's that kind of place.

Baby hotate butter soy sauce stir-fry ★★★★★ Pork teki ★★★★★ Beef sukiyaki with rice and raw egg ★★★★☆ Recommended by a friend! It was even more delicious than I imagined!!! The portion size is easy for a woman to eat alone, and everything is around 500 yen. Plus, no appetizer fee is a plus. Will definitely come back!

[Tokyo: Asakusa / Standing Bar "Sharomono"] This standing bar has a fantastic atmosphere, and there are two 4-person table seats in the back♪ We didn't make a reservation and just dropped by with 4 people, but luckily the table seats were available and we could sit down^_^ Even though we went a bit early, around 4 pm, the table we were shown to was almost full! The standing bar tables were also packed. It's really popular. We were lucky to get in. [Order] * Fatty tuna with Korean seaweed ¥500 * Grilled shiitake mushrooms ¥400 * Flounder edge porch Yukke (Korean-style raw meat dish) ¥450 We had plans for dinner with everyone later, so we ordered a little. But the quality of the dishes was evident from just these 3 items! They were so delicious! The menu was so appealing, and I really wanted to order more. I promised myself that I would definitely come back! The fatty tuna was especially amazing! You eat it wrapped in Korean seaweed, and it just melts in your mouth. But what made me want to come back the most was the staff. Their hospitality was top-notch!! They had a lovely smile, were energetic, and not pushy at all. All four of us naturally started talking about how great that staff member was. Good customer service is really important. I'm glad I found such a wonderful restaurant. I will definitely go back again!

I had the sashimi platter for 500 yen and the fresh bonito sashimi for 500 yen. It was my first visit to this place. It's a cozy standing bar with a nice atmosphere where you can enjoy sake. I tried the Nabeshima sake. The staff were friendly and I had a great time drinking. The food was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I went to Maru today to thank Yacchan for last week, and we ended up talking about going to Asakusa. Coincidentally, my drinking buddies and friends were having a meal there. After enjoying Italian food, we decided to meet up for drinks at Shalemon, a place none of us had been to before. Then we planned to go to Sanboa for the second round. I arrived at Shalemon first and managed to secure a table for two, a rare feat considering how crowded it usually is. I ordered a drink called Aozora, a limited edition sake from a small brewery in Kyoto. When my friends arrived, they ordered a fruity and easy-to-drink sake called Suigei, recommended by the staff. We enjoyed our drinks while catching up on each other's lives, as we've known each other for over 10 years. Shalemon is more than just a standing bar for me; it's a place where I can invite my dear friends and feel at ease. After a couple more drinks, we headed to our third spot, enjoying delicious grilled rice balls before the closing time.

My friend from Osaka, who had been avoiding coming to Tokyo due to the pandemic, is finally coming to Asakusa after 3 years. I am filled with joy at the thought of being able to guide them through the Asakusa area, much like a water guide, and cannot contain my excitement as I head towards my favorite watering hole. Before meeting my friend at the Tawaramachi Station, where they had booked a nearby hotel, I decided to do a quick reconnaissance. The place was empty right after opening, which was a rare sight as it is usually packed, especially during late weekends. This time, I was able to secure a spot for us. The first round at the "Shalemon" was a no-brainer - a refreshing pint of beer to start off with. I couldn't resist. We also ordered the salted kombu cucumber and water eggplant, as well as the sashimi of sea bass and yuba. Both dishes were delicious, with unique flavors and intricate presentation. For drinks, we tried the "Gokyo" sake, a favorite of my friend from Yamaguchi. I also chose a rare sake from Iwakuni City, named after the famous Kintai Bridge, which my friend enjoyed. The service from the new staff member at Shalemon was friendly and attentive, and we were able to enjoy our drinks comfortably despite the transparent acrylic dividers. It was surprising to see that the back tables were already reserved, even though it was still early in the evening.

I had been curious about Toritsubaki, the restaurant across the street, for a while but never had the chance to go. However, when I finally went one day, it was a great restaurant. The staff were very nice and the food was delicious. They had a good selection of Japanese sake as well. I definitely need to go back!

I haven't been going out much due to Covid, but two colleagues who were leaving Tokyo had some business there, so we went to Asakusa. We started with Hoppy Street for lunch, but what should we do at night? Tempura maybe? But I didn't know any good tempura places to take them to, so I confidently brought them here. It may seem like a standing bar, but they actually have tables in the back, like semi-private rooms. And as always, the quality of the food was great. I've been getting into Japanese sake lately, and I really felt the deliciousness. Thank you for the wonderful meal. I will definitely come back.
