Why go
A Tabelog 100 Izakaya (EAST) 2025 selection near Shinbashi station, serving seafood-focused small plates at JPY 6,000–7,999 for dinner and JPY 1,000–1,999 for lunch. Open weekdays only, with counter seating, tatami rooms, and a sake list that pairs well with the day's catch. Best for office crowds and regulars who want izakaya quality without the months-long reservation lead time.
About Maihama
Maihama in Tokyo has price bands of JPY 1,000–1,999 and JPY 6,000–7,999, with service on weekdays and closures on Saturday and Sunday. It is also listed in the Tabelog 100 - Izakaya - EAST - 2025 recognition. Beyond these basics, specific menu details, seating layout, booking method, payment rules, and beverage information are not available, so this guide focuses on what is known.
Weekday Hours and Price Bands
The venue operates Monday through Friday, with hours 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM to 10:30 PM. It is closed on Saturday and Sunday. The spending ranges are JPY 1,000–1,999 and JPY 6,000–7,999, making it useful to think of Maihama as a weekday Tokyo option with separate lower and higher price bands rather than a single fixed-budget meal.
The Tabelog 100 - Izakaya - EAST - 2025 listing gives Maihama a clear point of recognition within the izakaya category. However, specific dishes, sourcing, drinks, seating types, chef details, or service format are not available. Diners should avoid assuming a particular menu style or room setup based only on the award category.
Service, Booking, and When to Go
The most reliable planning information is the schedule: visit Monday through Friday during the midday or evening hours, and do not plan around weekend service. Because booking procedures are not available, check a current reservation source before making firm plans, especially for an evening visit.
Maihama is best framed as a recognized Tokyo izakaya with weekday hours and published price bands. If comparing it with other Tokyo dining options such as Tachiguisushi Akira, Hirosaku, Oniyanma Shimbashi ten, Shimbashi Shimizu, or Kurobuta Tonkatsu Hori Ichi, keep the comparison general unless current, venue-specific details are available. For Maihama, the reasons to shortlist it are its Tokyo location, weekday operating pattern, price ranges, and Tabelog 100 Izakaya EAST 2025 recognition.

Ambiance
Bustling Japanese-style tavern energy with a lively lunch-and-drinking crowd; interior appears busy and casual rather than polished.

Restaurant context
Among Tabelog-recognized spots near Shinbashi, Maihama occupies the middle ground between quick-service venues like Oniyanma Shimbashi ten (under JPY 999 for udon and tempura) and more formal kaiseki destinations like Hirosaku. If you want a full izakaya experience with Tabelog credibility but don't need the sushi precision of Tachiguisushi Akira, this is the address. Dinner here costs less than most yakitori counters and offers more variety, though the weekday-only schedule and smoking policy won't suit everyone.
For value hunters, Kurobuta Tonkatsu Hori Ichi offers a similar price band (JPY 2,000–2,999 dinner, JPY 1,000–1,999 lunch) with a tonkatsu focus instead of seafood. Shimbashi Shimizu is another local option, though without the Tabelog 100 recognition or the fish-forward menu that sets this venue apart. If you're booking multiple Tokyo meals and want one izakaya on the itinerary, this hits the sweet spot between quality and accessibility, easier to book than starred spots, more interesting than the chain alternatives, and priced for repeat visits rather than once-a-trip splurges.
