Just steps from Kyobashi Station beyond the railway underpass, Izakaya Toyo is an unpretentious standing-only seafood eatery set up outdoors with just a simple roof and table boards resting on stepladders. The signature dish is blowtorch-seared tuna cheek; watching the owner boldly sear it with a roaring torch flame is an eye-catching spectacle that prompts guests to pull out their cameras, and the medium-rare meat offers a tender, springy texture that pairs wonderfully with ponzu and drinks. Offering thick-cut chutoro and otoro, gunkan sushi overflowing with sea urchin and salmon roe, and rich lean tuna platters, it earns praise for great value by serving quality seafood rarely expected of a standing bar. Drinks are self-service from the refrigerators, and the spirited shouts of the owner and staff often spark casual conversations with fellow guests at shared tables. Operating with Showa-era energy since 1992, sharing a few dishes with friends under the open sky provides a truly extraordinary experience.
