Shimantogawa - Chiyoda

Excellent izakaya serving a range of delicious food, in a vibrant and cool setting.

Came here for the sake and atmosphere and wasn't disappointed but definitely not impressed. Shimontagawa is selling seating area and not food (or arguably the drink). Ordered 5 different bottles of sake and they were reasonably priced considering the place. Table charge for a small but very good salad. The actual food was extremely unimpressive though. To single some out, the signature Bonito was passable but the grilled chicken was just bad .

Yum yum bonito sashimi and other taste of Kochi prefecture.

Whale and Katsuo no Tataki are fabulous in this place, therefore the 5 stars. Located in Ginza makes a perfect stop for dinner after walking around the fancy shops of Ginza. It is also surrounded by very small street izakayas on the street, perfect for summer. The sake and beer are perfectly served and the waiters are very friendly. The atmosphere is a bit dark and traditional, could be good for a casual date.

Went for office party very crowded but no problem with the service we had the set with two hours of drinking very good no complaints would visit again
