SHUKO TAKIGIYA | BIB GOURMAND

Word of advice: go early. Shuko Takigiya is the last of the new izakaya entrants based in Shinjuku but they've been popular among salary-men for a long time before. The food here mirrors its traditional, rustic decor; dishes served are simple but delicious. No fanciful plating to be found here. And customers will be happy to know that they've got an extensive sake menu to accompany their food as well as beers, umeshu (plum liquor) and shochu (a distilled spirit made from fermented barley, sweet potatoes, buckwheat, rice and the like).
