Ginza Maruyo, a traditional Japanese Izakaya.

Located in GINZA NINE, a complex filled with shopping, art galleries, and a wide variety of gourmet spots, “Ginza Maruyo” is a nostalgic izakaya (Japanese-style pub) that you’ll want to visit at the end of the day.
Among the three buildings, it sits in Building No.1, closest to Shimbashi Station. Facing a narrow alley beneath the elevated expressway, it has the atmosphere of a true hidden retreat for adults.

The slightly compact interior is lined with menu cards and bottles of alcohol, creating a lively yet cozy vibe. As you look up to decide what to enjoy, your eyes are drawn to the large iconic lantern.
The comforting aroma of homemade-style dishes fills the air.

Many regulars gather here nightly, drawn by the warm personality of the former bartender owner and his heartfelt cooking, creating a friendly and welcoming space where conversations flow naturally.

Despite being located in the Shimbashi–Ginza area, prices here are very reasonable.

The drink menu is extensive, including strong highballs (whisky soda), draft beer, various sours, shochu (Japanese distilled spirit), awamori (Okinawan spirit), sake, Japanese whisky, and wine.
There are also unique options such as vin chaud (hot wine), ume kombu wari (plum and kelp-infused drink), and hot sake, offering a wide variety of ways to enjoy your drinks.

Most drinks are available for under ¥1,000, making it a popular spot for pre-drinks or after-parties. It’s perfect for a quick one or two drinks with light food.
For those who do not drink alcohol, soft drinks are available from ¥400, so everyone can enjoy comfortably.

Classic snacks such as edamame-¥400 (tax included), chilled tomatoes, tako wasabi (octopus with wasabi), dried stingray fin-¥500(tax included), and a variety of small dishes are available. There are also hearty dishes such as grilled udon infused with rich broth-¥600(tax included), tamago kake gohan (rice with raw egg)-¥400(tax included), ochazuke (rice with tea broth)-¥500(tax included), and spam rice balls-¥600(tax included), all popular among regular customers.

The “Today’s Dish” special changes daily, allowing you to enjoy something new each time you visit.
The menu is updated daily on Instagram, so checking in advance is recommended.

Among the three buildings that make up Ginza Nine, Building No. 1 is the closest to Shimbashi Station. It sits in an alley lined with small eateries beneath the elevated tracks of the Tokyo Expressway (KK Line)—a structure that has since ceased its original function. Tucked away in this corner is a standing-style *izakaya* (Japanese pub) marked by two glowing paper lanterns.

The interior is compact and designed for standing, while a small counter runs along the outside of the shop, allowing customers to enjoy a casual drink while smoking.

Takeout options, prepared fresh to order, are also available; items such as Japanese-style *yaki-udon* (stir-fried udon noodles), *yakisoba* (stir-fried noodles with sauce), pork-and-egg rice balls, and pork-and-egg *okonomiyaki* (savory pancake) are all priced at 800 yen (tax included). You can even enjoy a drink while waiting for your order to be ready.

With an atmosphere that evokes a sense of nostalgia, this *izakaya* is a versatile spot—perfect for a pre-party drink, a post-dinner stop, or a final glass before the last train. Since it stays open late into the night, it is also an ideal place to wrap up an evening out in Shimbashi or Ginza.
