Rizu

Though styled as a neighborhood pub, Rizu in Ikebukurohoncho stands out for its substantial seafood dishes. Sashimi ordered to accompany drinks is well regarded, with options like sliced squid sashimi, tuna rice bowls (magurodon), and assorted sashimi platters bringing fresh seafood to the table. The cooking-loving female proprietor runs the kitchen, setting a warm, hospitable tone with generous opening appetisers (otoshi) brought directly to your table.

Opening from 19:00 in the evening, the pub provides a relaxed atmosphere to settle in over beer and other drinks. With comfortable table seating, it makes a reassuring local retreat when you want to linger over glasses and share savory dishes into the night.
