Finding a cheap izakaya around Ginza can be quite challenging! This place is a relatively inexpensive restaurant, with a food that is not very different from the usual chain izakaya, but in a comfortable setting. The restaurant is on the second floor, and is decorated with many bamboo trees and large stones.
We were especially pleased by the nihonshu; the selection is limited, but they have a nice jizake well worth a try! Dishes costs typically between 800-1200 yens. The kamaboko is excellent, while the maguro kamayaki was a little to greasy, and quite expensive considering its size...

Note that if you are searching another restaurant, you can just walk on the street - the opposite side of the street is filled with restaurants located just under the highway, and going up to Shinbashi
