Experts' Choice Award Andy's Shin Hinomoto
What the experts agree on
Legendary izakaya tucked beneath the Yamanote Line where trains rattle overhead—cramped, smoky, boisterous, but brilliantly authentic. Fresh seafood and classic dishes at bargain prices in chaotic, convivial chaos.
“The cramped seating, boisterous laughter, and cigarette smoke here make for a convivial dining experience.”
