Beetle has such an unique charm in my eyes.
I went in on a busy time and I had to wait for my name to be called out by the staff. The waiting felt rewarded as I was offered a seat at the counter from where I could watch over the kitchen.
When I grabbed the menu I saw they have a craft beer option which upon tasting I discovered it was a genuine tasty apple cider beer.
I had my mind set on trying their thick ham-katsu which is served with a side of horseradish mustard and cabbage to cut down the spicy. It was so delicious! I also tried out the deepfried chicken -huge crunchy juicy bits seasoned with ginger. My eyes were sparkling with joy.
I could comfortably sit at the counter, and I saw lively chatty tables with parties of 4 or 6 close friends. If that is not enough to keep you entertained there is also a tv running Japanese comedy shows or sports highlights.
Staff was very kind to me and understanding despite the language barrier. I am grateful for it!
Paying cash only has a romantic touch to me. Having to search my wallet for the right ammount of coins is both an ending to a nice evening out and a sobering up moment.
Small details that I love about going to an izakaya were reunited under the same roof, making it a great experience for me.

Good food at good prices. Menus all in Japanese so have your translator app ready, although the waitress spoke some limited English and tried to explain some of the dishes to us. Most food was quick to arrive but the skewers took a while to be prepared (or maybe they forgot about it for a bit). Seemed to get pretty busy with regular clientele.
So, freakin stupid. Never tell other foreign ppl that they do not accept credit card.
Never ever seen this kinda restaurant ever in my entire life I swear.
Plz DO NOT GO THERE IF YOU R NOT A JAPANESE

Great food and service. The atmosphere made it a great experience as well. Prices are very affordable.
A hole in the wall but food is excellent and price is very affordable. Service is good too. Be early as it's always full (limited seating).
Outstanding little izakaya spot.
Lots of beer, lots of sake, and very decent food.
I recommend the liver “paste” and the cream cheese sake stealer.
The deep fried options are also very good.
The Hanshin Tigers V. The Orix Buffaloes game was playing on two smaller screens while students and salarymen were enjoying good food and drinks.
Would definitely return if I ran out of places to eat at in Tokyo…
Hidden gem worth a quick detour.

Awesome izakaya. We don't speak Japanese so we had to work a bit to order things, but they were understanding.
The vibes are extremely good and the food was superb. Their karaage was the best we had on our trip. They had some great sashimi and skewers as well. So it was a good variety in bites, your classic beers on tap, etc.
