Kakurega Shizuku
37 Sukhumvit 24 Alley, Khlong Tan, Khlong Toei, Bangkok 10110
Kakurega Shizuku is the right choice in the Khlong Tan area when the goal is a Japanese izakaya session built around binchotan yakitori. The full-bird yakitori selection is the correct approach and the dashimaki tamago is worth ordering between skewer rounds. The sake suggestions from the bar are reliable as a guide through the list. Book at least a day ahead as the limited counter seats fill quickly on weekday evenings.
Kakurega Shizuku operates in the Khlong Tan area of Khlong Toei, running a Japanese izakaya menu built around small plates for sharing. Sake and Japanese whisky complete the bar selection alongside the food plates. The bar is styled as a small counter-focused space with limited seating that creates an intentional sense of enclosure. Yakitori skewers cover the full bird from thigh to liver, cooked over binchotan charcoal at the temperature that matters. Dashimaki tamago, the rolled egg omelette, arrives soft in the centre with the dashi broth absorbed into the egg during cooking. Agedashi tofu comes in a light broth with bonito flakes visible on the surface, made to order from cold tofu. A sashimi selection changes with what the kitchen sourced that morning, covering whichever fish arrived alongside the day's rotating seasonal variety. Sake is available in several styles from junmai to daiginjo, with the bar staff trained to suggest pairings based on what is being eaten. The counter format makes this a suitable venue for solo diners or pairs who want to eat within view of the preparation. The bar also stocks a selection of Japanese craft beers for those who prefer beer alongside the izakaya plates.
Phrom Phong BTS serves the Khlong Tan area and sits within practical walking distance of the restaurant. Grab vehicles navigate the area without difficulty from the Sukhumvit corridor. From Asok BTS, a short Grab ride covers the distance in under ten minutes. Reservations are recommended as the limited seating fills quickly on weekday evenings when the surrounding Khlong Toei residential area brings regular visitors.
