💡 Tips for Visitors

Most establishments are cash-only, so bring plenty of yen before visiting. The alleys get very crowded after 7 PM on weekends, so visit earlier in the evening for a more relaxed experience. English menus are rare, but pointing and smiling works well in these friendly, intimate spaces where many seats only 5-10 people.
