What to know
Marui, a family-run izakaya in Narihira, has been serving locals for over 30 years. The intimate counter seating encourages conversation with the chefs, who are known for their motsuyaki, or grilled offal skewers. Adventurous diners can sample the basashi (horse sashimi) and gyutan sashimi (beef tongue sashimi), while those seeking milder fare will enjoy the extensive sake list. Because it's walk-in only, arrive early to snag a seat at this popular spot.
