Warayakiya

One of the most unique izakayas in Tokyo, Warayakiya grills classic Japanese cuisine over straw instead of charcoal. It is a method that originated from the fishing villages of Kochi prefecture. The straw burns at extreme temperatures, leaving the meat or seafood lightly seared, juicy, and tender. Grab a space at the counter to watch the chefs expertly navigate through flames to cook their specialty Katsuo no Tataki (鰹のタタキ, seared skipjack tuna).

Sink your teeth in succulent Yakiniku (焼き肉 or 焼肉, Japanese for “grilled meat”) at Ooyodoya. The slivers of meat are expertly chosen and lovingly laid on the grill. The fires caress and lick at the steaks until they’re just the right state. After a long day, steak with girls is just what the doctor ordered.
