This lively and popular izakaya, with a spectacular spacious interior and high-profile location, has served luminaries such as George W. Bush and former Prime Minister Koizumi, and was the model for the battle scene in Tarantino’s "Kill Bill". (The owner turned down the director’s request to use the place itself). Yet prices are quite reasonable given this notoriety. Make reservations and expect to see a lot of foreign visitors.
