Tucked away at the end of a narrow alley near Aoba-dori Ichibancho Station, Genji is a long-established tavern that has welcomed drinkers since its founding in 1950. Here, with each drink ordered, a series of exquisite accompaniments is brought out in turn, such as butterbur miso dengaku, rich chilled tofu, sashimi, and dashi-infused oden. Sipping from a glass of sake poured right to the brim, you can leisurely appreciate the harmony with each thoughtfully selected dish. The U-shaped counter surrounding the kitchen features subdued lighting, maintaining a calm, dignified retreat for adults without background music. The warm and attentive hospitality of the landlady in her white kappogi apron is comforting, making this an ideal spot for an evening away from the daily bustle when you wish to quietly enjoy a few drinks. With a budget in the ¥3,000 range, you can indulge in a luxurious time of your own.
