Mogamiya

There are izakaya that seem made for sipping warm sweet potato shochu heated in a traditional kuro-joka teapot while picking at piping-hot simmered dishes. Located in the Pearl Sky Building in Mizue, Shochu Dining Mogamiya supports comfortable evenings with its wide selection of shochu and handmade snacks that naturally encourage another glass.

Among the standout orders on the menu are simmered staples like tender, slow-cooked pork kakuni and rich motsuni. The rounded aroma of maewari shochu—blended with water ahead of time to soften its edge—pairs effortlessly with the gentle, deeply savory character of these simmered meats. Unpretentious dishes like chicken nanban, tamagoyaki rolled omelet, and onion salad round out the table, making it easy to graze across small plates while exploring the drink list.

The interior features a calming arrangement of counter seats, regular tables, and raised tatami zashiki spaces, functioning comfortably whether dropping in alone bar-style or dining with companions. Open from 17:00 to 23:00 with Wednesdays off, the restaurant takes seat reservations and accepts PayPay, making it a reliable stop whether for an after-work drink or a settled evening meal.
