Kyushu Netchuya is a well-known chain. They have branches all over central Tokyo. I happened to wander into one.

Oshibori

Apparently it’s a place where the mackerel, the gyoza and the shochu are all good.

Drinks

Otoshi

The otoshi that comes out is mentaiko.

Menu

These days the iPad seems to be the standard.

Half a mackerel

Seriously fresh. The taste is good, but… this is sliced literally paper-thin. A few pieces and it’s gone.

Torikawa

The cooking is excellent here too, but the portion is a bit… well, I’ve confirmed this is a popular izakaya, so it’s on to the next place.
