Not easy for non-Chinese speakers, but smiling and pointing will get you a really authentic experience full of local flavor, pun intended.
the 900¥ lunch special here is probably the best deal in Japan - 12 pieces nigiri plus sides as well!
pretty standard yakitori with all dishes 280¥. Nothing super special, but it's a fun place, and entirely locals (i.e., we saw no other tourists or non-Japanese there).
fun gay bar with Australian owner. 1000¥ cocktails are very very strong, so don't go crazy!
fun and adorable, though geared more for kids than adults, with exhibits not translated into English
