Ｔａｔｓｕ

Standing on a street corner in Tsukishima 4-chome, Tatsu is an unpretentious izakaya carrying an easygoing air reminiscent of the Showa era. It has a homey atmosphere where visitors can drop in comfortably, whether for a quiet solo dinner or a casual drink on the way home from work.

Familiar Comfort Classics

Hearty staples such as katsuni (simmered cutlet), oyakodon, and curry rice are longstanding favorites associated with Tatsu. Diners have noted that the katsuni set meal arrives well furnished, rounded out with rice, broth-rich miso soup, and small side dishes like fresh sashimi.

Evenings Over Small Plates and Skewers

As evening sets in, the shop adopts the lively rhythm of a classic neighborhood pub centered around skewers and small plates. Alongside fragrant yakitori like chicken thigh, negima, and liver, guests can turn to grilled fish such as mackerel or atka mackerel, comforting niku dofu (simmered beef with tofu), and agedashi tofu. Pairing cold draft beers, chuhai, or a single-carafe pour of sake with small bites like salted squid innards (ika no shiokara) or whitebait with grated daikon easily smooths away the fatigue of the day.

With the relaxed feel of visiting an old friend's living room, it offers a welcoming space to unwind at your own pace over favorite bites and drinks late into the evening.
