A New 'Izakaya' Born at Oji Station: 'Oden & Yakitori Takeshi' Opens May 29th!

Always Co., Ltd., a consolidated subsidiary of Hotland Holdings (which operates Tsukiji Gindaco) and manager of izakaya businesses such as 'Gindaco Highball Sakaba' and 'Motsuyaki-dokoro Ishii,' will grand open the first 'Oden & Yakitori Takeshi,' a new format of 'Oden-ya Takeshi,' on Friday, May 29, 2026, in Oji, Kita-ku, Tokyo. 'Oden & Yakitori Takeshi' is a new type of popular izakaya where customers can enjoy creative oden made with two types of dashi—'ago-dashi' (flying fish stock) and 'tori-dashi' (chicken stock)—along with yakitori that brings out the flavor of each cut. The signature creative oden includes standard items like daikon radish and eggs, as well as seasonal specialties. The yakitori is served in easy-to-eat sizes, with each skewer carefully grilled by artisans. Located just a one-minute walk from Oji Station, the restaurant is marked by a navy blue noren curtain and a large red lantern. The interior offers a warm atmosphere with both counter and table seating, aiming to be a community-rooted izakaya that customers will want to visit again.
