Jiyuun

Along the shopping street leading toward Ikegami Honmonji, Jiyuun offers a relaxed bar setting where hand-stretched, freshly baked pizzas double as drinking snacks. Topped unpretentiously with everyday ingredients such as green bell peppers, these pies pair naturally with crisp highballs, wine, and a diverse range of cocktails. Guests can settle directly at the counter for food and drinks or take one of the tables, enjoying each pour and plate at their own pace.

Dating back to the 1950s, the interior balances the airy feel of large glass windows with the mellow warmth centered around a U-shaped bar counter. A darts board occupies one corner, reflecting its reputation as an easygoing neighbourhood gathering place whether you drop by alone for a quiet glass or catch up with friends. Open from 18:00 in the evening until 2:00 the following morning, it is also a dependable stop for a late-night drink around Ikegami.
