A Mama-san's Oasis: A Warm Glow in Yokohama's Nightlife

While you might feel a bit hesitant to step into this tavern due to its lack of reviews, location on a dark alleyway, absence of a website, and minimal presence on Google Maps, a delightful surprise awaits you upon entering, where you'll be warmly greeted by the sweet, elderly Mama-san who runs the well-kept and clean pub.
The establishment is a unique blend, functioning both as an izakaya, offering a diverse range of foods that go well with Japanese sake, shochu or beer, and as a bar for those seeking a purely drink-centric experience.
Once inside, you'll find a long, narrow space divided by a counter with seven seats. As soon as you step in, the regulars are eager to strike up a conversation (in Japanese), creating an easygoing atmosphere to connect with your new drinking buddies. (Non-alcoholic drinks are also available.)
While the food may lean towards the pricey side, every dish is lovingly home-cooked by the Mama-san and boasts a delicious flavor. Notably, the prices for the sashimi (sliced raw fish) are competitive with other local taverns and sashimi restaurants.
Personally, I plan to return with my camera on a quieter day, hoping to capture the charm of the interior and perhaps gain the Mama-san's trust to photograph both the shop and her in action.

ナオミさんが巻いてくれたたまご焼き美味い😋
目の前で出汁巻たまごを巻いていたのでついつい頼んでしまった
あと、ツンデレサワーのチョコ🍫
モーツァルトチョコレートリキュールをミルクで割っている感じ
意外と好きかも❤️
痛風覚悟のいくら、うに、キャビア、とびっこトッピングの白子ポン酢は、若いみーちゃんの腹の中へ

「帰郷」
1年ぶりの岡山で
1年ぶりに親友と一献
そして初めての成田屋
あるじゃん、こういう店!
気の利いた旨すぎるつまみと
旨辛口の日本酒に興奮しながら
普段は決して見ることのない
剝き出しの少年たちは
心のずっと奥の方に
溜まりに溜まった何もかもを
記憶が無くなるまで吐き出して
そしてともに共感しあった
もはや生家は手放してしまったけど
この街はいつまでも僕のふるさとなのだと
実感できたひとときだった
