Tsudoy
The bar next to Lawson's. The ownper Daiso-san is an absolute legend and will warmly welcome you every time you enter, he speaks English and will happily give advice about the area and things you want to know. Please go here and spend some money! Supporting locals is a big part of our house and plus who doesn't like cheap drinks and chatting to the locals. Be warned though, you may realise it's 3am and you are still talking and drinking. Also the locals smoke inside so leave the kids at home and be prepared to wash your clothes in the morning.
