Tsuge

Shuge Shimokitazawa Honten is an old izakaya in Tokyo that serves seafood, seasonal vegetables, and charcoal-grilled skewers, about a five-minute walk from Shimokitazawa Station. Its signature dishes are a salad called sashimi, which tops hoe and vegetables together, and a fried dish of lotus root and shrimp. The first floor has counter and table seating, while the second floor has tatami seating and private rooms. Weekend evenings fill up quickly with reserved guests, so book ahead.
