About this place
For an early drink, start with the meat tofu. One diner described it as a hearty dish with the sweet-and-savoury flavour of sukiyaki; another enjoyed the well-seasoned tofu during a morning visit. A visitor also mentioned pairing it with a highball. Its robust flavour makes it a fitting match for a drink to start the day.
Oden has also been noted by diners as a quick-to-arrive dish, making it an option for an early meal or a relaxed session with a few small plates. The menu lists sashimi of tuna, sea bream, squid and octopus, as well as seared bonito and seared chicken. For something smaller, choose from potato salad, spicy cod roe, salted squid guts or sliced yam.
Drinks include draft beer, shochu, sake, highballs and sours. Sours come in lemon, lime, Calpis or yuzu, and non-alcoholic drinks are available too. Standing is the usual way to drink here, though visitors report that there are seats at the counter towards the back. The choice may suit those who would rather sit down. Open every day from 9:00, the bar closes at 19:00 on weekdays and 20:00 at weekends. Breakfast is also served, making it an option for an early drink in Haginochaya.
