What kind of place is it — and what occasion suits it? +
Since 1923, a single copper pot has simmered on this counter — first in Ginza, now in Nihonbashi. The sweet-salty broth, a Kanto-style stock replenished daily for over a century, seeps into daikon and swells around chikuwabu. At the end, tōmeshi lets you chase the last trace of that broth, grain by grain. An easy spot for drinks and food — good for a casual get-together or an after-work occasion.
