Cozy Little Izakaya in Nakano.

This izakaya, named Ranman (direct translation is close to simplicity or purity), in Nakano is famous for good food and drinks and the price of them are all reasonable. My recommendation is sashimi and oden. They are too good to ignore.

Their old-style exterior appearance and cozy atmosphere inside are also appeals to you. I heard the house was built about 100 years ago. You should pay a visit to this friendly mom-and-pop izakaya when coming in town. Much better than going to a chain izakaya store which serves you crappy stuff like McDonald does.
