About this place

Set in a residential pocket of Shimo in Kita Ward, Tanko is a welcoming counter-seat izakaya ideal for unwinding in the evening. Guests can pull up a stool, order a beer or other drink, and graze on thoughtful, home-style small plates.

One patron highlighted dishes such as dressed avocado and spicy sundubu-jjigae soft tofu stew as particular highlights. With the option to consult on the day's recommendations and bar bites, a visit can easily range from a light drink and a snack to a hearty dinner.

Conversation with the hosts comes easily, lending the space a friendly charm that makes solo visitors feel immediately at ease. Operating hours run from 17:00 to 22:00. Because payment is cash-only, it is best to bring enough yen along for the evening.
