玉ちゃんが特別なときに利用する中野 日本料理「さくら亭」さん。 中野の喧騒から離れた大人の空間です。 玉ちゃんねる

This time, we visited Takadanobaba, one of Japan's leading student towns. Takadanobaba is known as a university town, and as such, it's no wonder there are so many cheap, large-scale izakayas perfect for after-parties. It's also known among foodies as a "hotbed ramen battleground" and a "holy land of tonkatsu."

Following a tip from Kyohei-chan of Nikomisuto, I went to the corner bar "Nemoto Sake Shop" in Nishi-Shinjuku. I tried out the "standing bar club" made up of kind seniors. By the way, there was also an interesting attraction! Tama Channel

The area stretching between Ueno Hirokoji and Yushima Station is one of Tokyo's most historic and vibrant nightlife districts. Its history dates back to the days of the former red-light district of Ikenohata. And don't forget that nearby Ueno Station was once the "Gateway to Tohoku."

Kanda is a city that has flourished since the Edo period, where tradition and business districts coexist. "Historic towns have famous restaurants" and "Places where people gather have bars."

This time, we'll be toasting in Nippori, a JR Yamanote Line station with a nostalgic atmosphere. With Yanaka Ginza to the west of the station and the textile district to the east, the area has a unique charm, blending new and old cultures. While redevelopment is underway, one step into the alleys and you'll find remnants of the Showa era...

We visited Takara Sushi, a long-established restaurant. Not only were the sushi toppings prepared by the 79-year-old chef, but the conversation with the hostess was also very enjoyable, and some items were truly quintessential town sushi. The chef and Tama-chan had a fortuitous relationship, and the conversation, drinks, and snacks were all very lively. Tama Channel

When it comes to monjayaki in Tokyo, do you think of Tsukishima? ...But today, we're going to overturn that image. Known only by locals, this famous, privately run restaurant retains a strong postwar atmosphere. It's steeped in history and human warmth that a chain restaurant just can't match. Truly...

This time, we'll be focusing on Tsukiji, once Tokyo's kitchen. While the inner market moved to Toyosu in 2018, the outer market is still bustling with over 400 specialty shops, professional chefs, and tourists from Japan and abroad. Tsukiji has a long history, dating back to the Edo period...

Tama-chan was in Okinawa as the MC for YouTube's "Corporate Karaoke Championship." After work, we met up and went bar-hopping around Naha. We enjoyed soumintashiya, island scallions, steak, and more, all with alcohol. It was a great, almost too great, first day...
