The izakaya 'Wachan' in Kotosuna, Koto-ku, is a hidden gem beloved by the locals. The small interior with only counter seats is filled with a nostalgic old town atmosphere. The friendly mama-san and handmade appetizers are one of the attractions that draw regular customers.
The variety of the menu is limited, but that's the beauty of it. The dishes made with carefully selected seasonal ingredients have a simple yet sophisticated taste. The casual and relaxed atmosphere, along with the slightly elaborate dishes, brings out the essence of an izakaya.
Despite its small space, it creates an inviting homely atmosphere for conversation. Enjoy chatting with the regular customers next door across the counter, and it's also charming to experience the friendly personality of the mama-san.
It's a popular place that gets crowded, but if you visit during the occasional quiet times, you may feel a sense of comfort as if you've returned home. For those who want to savor the flavor and nostalgia of the old town, the hidden gem 'Wachan' is highly recommended.
