Walking in Tobita Shinchi 2: Day and Night on the Main Street] Enjoying “Nishinari Morning” at a backstreet spot and enjoying Shinchi in the daytime

This is a sequel to “How to Walk in Tobita Shinchi,” which appeared in “FRIDAY GOLD” on April 25. Akira Ikoma, former editor-in-chief of the sex industry magazine “Ore no Tabi” series, who fell in love with the new charms of Tobita Shinchi in his previous report, walks the area again. This time, he observes the main street of Shinchi, “Main Street,” from morning to night, and also introduces some “hidden gems” that you should stop by when you visit Shinchi.

Morning set includes alcohol!

Phew~, that’s good. A cold highball soaks into my dry throat. The nice thing about being on the road is that you are allowed to drink alcohol in the morning. This is especially true if the destination is Tobita Shinchi, a “man’s paradise. Nishinari Morning: Draft beer or shochu or shochu or highball, hard-boiled egg and one dish (350 yen), 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the sign posted on the front of “Nishinari Shaba Nariya,” a popular tavern in the Tobita Hondori shopping street that runs north to south on the west side of Tobita Shinchi. Alcohol was on the menu as part of the morning set meal.

Intrigued by this morning set meal, I entered the restaurant a little after 9:30 am. There were five customers sitting at the counter, who appeared to be local old men, enjoying “morning drinks” while watching TV. Inside the counter, a young female staff member in a black T-shirt, which looked like the store’s uniform, was working briskly. It looks like a girls’ bar.

I take a seat at the end of the counter, order the “Nishinari Morning” and a highball. 5 minutes later, a highball, boiled egg, and a small bowl of stewed pork chops appear in front of me. I eat slowly, a little at a time. It was delicious. The relaxed atmosphere of Nishinari and the sense of openness from the trip make for a great snack, and the drink tastes even better than it did in the morning.

We pay attention to the old men lined up in front of us, and quietly finish our food and drink and pay the bill. It ‘s 390 yen,” says a young female staff member with brown hair. When I asked her if the price was the same as the 350 yen on the signboard, she replied, “The price has been changed to include tax since April. But it is still 390 yen. I was surprised to see such a low price. And they are open from morning.
