GUNJA DATE NIGHT
How to choose with confidence
Separate reservation and walk-in venues
Fix the date early for reservation-led venues. For queue-led spots, prepare a nearby cafe or backup.
Prioritize conversation noise
For a first date, compare Sanjaeu, Comocomo and Shoujin; save louder music and local-pub energy for a more casual date.
Separate dinner and second drinks
After a full dinner, keep the second stop light with yakitori, sake or highballs.
Recheck hours, rules and the trip home
Closures, last orders, minimum drinks and table times change. Check live listings and last trains.
