How to Enjoy Tokyo Izakayas to the Fullest

The Shinbashi area in Tokyo is a commercial district for local office workers rather than tourists like Shibuya or Shinjuku,
so there are many local pubs catering to professionals.
Round 1: A meal with draft beer (namabiru) at a sushi bar.
Round 2: Sake with skewers and chicken dishes at a yakitori restaurant.
(This is also called 'mokkiri' or 'masuzake,' where you order the sake to be poured overflowing in the cup.
The staff has the great sense to wash the masu cup cleanly right in front of you lol.
The 7th photo is Sasami, which is raw chicken tenderloin—it was so fresh and delicious with a great texture.)
Round 3: Gyoza and highballs at a Japanese-style Chinese restaurant.
Round 4: Boosting the mood with strong spirits at a nice whiskey bar lol.
Round 5: Finishing off with some carbs like gim-maki (seaweed rolls) and uni-maki (sea urchin rolls) to settle the stomach.
That is my introduction to enjoying local izakayas.
When you travel, I also recommend visiting areas like Shinbashi that are less crowded with tourists~
