Kinsai in Nakameguro is a great Izakaya

Izakaya Beer Sake (Rice wine) English Cuisine Drink

a little more upscale

If you are looking for tasty small plates of great japanese food that goes well with sake, beer and wine- but you don't want a low end chain or a disney-fake experience- check out KINSAI in nakameguro.
The food is always great, and there is a good seasonal variety

I especially recommended grilled items, the fish and duck dishes area always amazing.

They don't speak a lot of english BUT they are willing to try!
YUM!
