01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Danro is the sort of neighborhood izakaya that invites casual dropping-in, especially for sashimi platters that shift depending on the day's market catch. Alongside fresh ocean fare, the kitchen covers all the bases for an evening drink, from mellow beef thigh yukhoe tossed with egg yolk to salted beef tongue.
The menu features skewers ordered by the stick, unfussy comforts like natto omelettes, tuna tartare with pickled daikon, and crisp fried burdock chips. Pours from regional sake makers such as Shinkame and Gasanryu sit alongside highballs and fruit sours, letting guests settle into their preferred rhythm.
With counter seats and standard tables, the space works just as nicely for an unhurried solo nightcap as it does for dinner with friends. Open until 2:00 every night, Danro remains a dependable late-night haven, complete with satisfying closers like clam ramen and seared beef donburi.
