What to know
Akane-no-mai brings a traditional izakaya atmosphere to Ikebukurohonchō, where the chefs work their magic over flaming woks. Motsuyaki (grilled offal) is the star, which diners often pair with Hoppy, a low-alcohol beer alternative popular in Tokyo. The casual setting and counter seating make it a great place to grab a quick bite and soak in the lively atmosphere. Because it stays open late, Akane-no-mai is a popular spot for both early dinners and late-night snacks.
