Ebisu, a trendy but less touristy neighbourhood, is supposedly a good area to try the small traditional establishments called Izakaya. However, we struggled to find most of the places we researched beforehand because we had only the English names while the signage was all in Japanese.
We tried 3 places in the end. The first one is Imaiya Yebisu - an expensive chain specialized in Yakitori. We ordered 9 very basic skewers and a coke, and our bill came out to about 7,000 yen (~$70, so $7+ per skewer). We saw another nice-looking yakitori place nearby that charged only 100-150 yen ($1-1.5) per skewer. We later found out that Ebisu Imaiya is expensive because it only carries high quality organic meats. (Honestly, we couldn't taste the difference.)
