Izakaya Okajoki in Nakano

Good place for an Izakaya evening

We've been to Okajoki a few times with friends. We've sat at the counter - okay if just a couple of you; and we've had a private room - better for groups.

The food is typical Izakaya food and they have a good variety of drinks.

Prices are reasonable. Service is good.

Getting there: take the north exit from Nakano Station and walk along the "Sun Mall Road" to the Cozy Corner coffee shop. Turn right. Okajoki is a few meters along on your left.

Hours:
Lunch - 11:30 - 13:00 (lunch menu, 900 yen)
Dinner - 16:00 - 22:00
Phone: 03-3228-1230 (they do take reservations)

Address: 5-59-3 Nakano, Nakano Ku, Tokyo
