I know putting my own photo as the cover image is usually box-office poison for clicks. But to prove that this was the first time in my life I received birthday wishes from strangers in Japan, I have to sacrifice my image and hurt your eyes a little. Please focus your attention on the bottom left of the screen.
[日本語]
トップ画像に自分の写真を載せるのは、クリック数を下げる「興行の毒」だと分かっています（笑）。でも、人生で初めて日本で誕生日を迎え、見知らぬ人たちからお祝いしてもらった証拠として、恥を忍んで載せます。どうか左下に注目してください。

Due to work, my birthday happened to fall during my trip to Tokyo this year. Since it was my first time celebrating a birthday abroad (outside of the Philippines), I naturally wanted to find a place to have a few drinks and enjoy myself. Wandering around the streets often leads to stumbling upon great shops by chance. The place I'm introducing today, Teppen Shibuya Onna Dojo, was one of my biggest discoveries in Tokyo this time.
[日本語]
仕事の関係で、今年の誕生日はちょうど東京にいました。フィリピン以外の外国で誕生日を過ごすのは初めてなので、やっぱり美味しいお酒が飲める場所を探さないと気が済みません。街をぶらぶらしていると、偶然いい店に出会うものです。今日紹介する「てっぺん 渋谷 女道場」は、今回の東京旅行での最大の収穫の一つです。
[English]
There are so many yakiniku restaurants and izakayas in Shibuya that I didn't know which one to choose at first. Wandering into a small alley, I found this place, "Teppen Shibuya Onna Dojo," which seemed nice, so I stopped at the entrance to observe.
[日本語]
渋谷には焼肉店や居酒屋がたくさんありすぎて、どこに入ろうか迷ってしまいました。路地裏を歩いていると、この「てっぺん 渋谷 女道場」を見つけ、いい雰囲気だなと思って入り口で様子を伺っていました。
[English]
The shop operates as a typical izakaya, selling common items like skewers, side dishes, and fried foods. And most importantly, they definitely sell alcohol! It opens every day at 5 PM and stays open until midnight.
[日本語]
店内は典型的な居酒屋スタイルで、定番の串焼き、一品料理、揚げ物などを提供しています。もちろん、一番重要なのはお酒があること！営業時間は毎日午後5時から深夜までです。
[English]
You have to take off your shoes when entering the restaurant. Although it's a bit inconvenient, I think this is one of the ways Japanese shops keep the interior clean. Personally, I don't really like taking off my shoes outside of my own home, but "when in Rome, do as the Romans do." Adapting to local customs is also part of a joyful journey, don't you think?
[日本語]
店内に入るときは靴を脱ぐ必要があります。少し不便かもしれませんが、これは日本の店舗が清潔さを保つための条件の一つだと思います。個人的には家の外で靴を脱ぐのはあまり好きではありませんが、「郷に入っては郷に従え」。現地の習慣に合わせるのも、楽しい旅の一部ですよね？
[English]
The grill is located right at the entrance. Although the smoke is quite heavy, their ventilation system is excellent, so you don't feel the smoke drifting inside the enclosed space.
[日本語]
焼き場は入り口にありますが、排煙設備がしっかりしているので、閉め切った店内でも煙たさを感じません。
[English]
Let's focus back on Shibuya. I felt very relaxed as soon as I entered the shop. The Japanese girl who greeted us at the door was extremely friendly, which was a plus, but the overall atmosphere and the connections between people felt warm and genuine.
[日本語]
話を渋谷に戻しましょう。店に入った瞬間、とてもリラックスできました。入り口で案内してくれた女性スタッフがとても親切だっただけでなく、店全体の雰囲気や、人と人との温かい繋がりを感じました。
[English]
Besides the counter seats (Kaburi), there are also tables for 4-6 people, suitable for gatherings. Even though it was a Tuesday, the place was nearly full. It seems this shop has a solid base of regular customers.
[日本語]
カウンター席以外に、4〜6人掛けのテーブル席もあり、友人同士の集まりに最適です。この日は火曜日でしたが、ほぼ満席でした。常連さんが多いようですね。
[English]
My friend "Chai Zu Da Ren," who is studying in Japan, and my good brother in Tokyo, Mr. Tiger, joined me for my birthday. Yes, just a gathering of three men.
[日本語]
今回は、日本留学中の友人「拆組達人」と、東京の親友「Tigerさん」と一緒に。そう、男3人の飲み会です。
[English]
The first page of the menu features various sours and Japanese teas. Perhaps because there are many foreign tourists in Shibuya, the staff aren't afraid to serve foreigners, and the menu has English translations, making ordering easy.
[日本語]
メニューの1ページ目はサワーやお茶など。渋谷は外国人観光客が多いせいか、英語メニューもあり、注文には困りません。
[English]
Since it's an izakaya, the subsequent pages list various beers, shochu, and sake. Being in Japan, one must drink the freshest local draft beer. Especially Yebisu draft beer, which is super expensive in Taiwan, costs only 580 yen for 500cc here. You'd be a fool not to drink it! Waiter~ bring the alcohol quickly!
[日本語]
居酒屋ですから、ビール、焼酎、日本酒などがずらり。日本に来たなら、現地の新鮮な生ビールを飲まないと！特にエビス生ビールがジョッキで580円なんて、台湾では考えられない安さ。飲まない手はありません！店員さん、早くお酒持ってきて〜。
酒上來沒多久，每人都拿到這樣一份前菜。手工豆腐，上頭點綴小魚以及鮭魚卵，吃起來冰冰涼涼，海味十足。
🇺🇸 English / 🇯🇵 日本語
[English]
Shortly after the drinks arrived, we each received this appetizer. Handmade tofu topped with small fish and salmon roe. It tasted cold, refreshing, and full of sea flavor.
[日本語]
お酒が来てすぐにお通しが運ばれてきました。手作り豆腐にシラスとイクラが乗っていて、冷たくて磯の香りがたっぷりです。
[English]
Refill! Did you notice something different? You've never seen latte art on beer, have you? Hahaha~ For every refill, the staff changed the design, which was super thoughtful. I observed that if they messed up the art, they would pour out the whole glass and start over. The Japanese craftsman spirit is deeply ingrained. The point is, no one required them to do beer art!
[日本語]
おかわり！何か違うことに気づきましたか？ビールの泡アートなんて見たことないでしょ！ハハハ〜。おかわりするたびに違う絵柄を描いてくれます。失敗したら捨ててやり直すほどの職人魂を見ました（笑）。
[English]Jellyfish with Yuzu Pepper Ponzu: A Japanese-style jellyfish salad marinated with yuzu pepper and citrus vinegar. A strong-flavored cold dish perfect for drinking. Chicken Skin Ponzu: Marinated chicken skin with homemade citrus vinegar. The sour and salty taste goes well with alcohol. The citrus aroma cuts through the grease of the chicken skin. It's quite salty on its own, so one portion is enough for several drinks!
[日本語]クラゲの柚子胡椒ポン酢：柚子胡椒とポン酢で和えた日本風のクラゲの冷菜。お酒が進む濃いめの味付けです。 鶏皮ポン酢：自家製の柑橘酢で漬け込んであり、酸味と塩気がお酒に合います。柑橘の香りと酢の酸味が、鶏皮の油っぽさを消してくれます。
[English]Earth Salad: A variety of vegetables served with a special apple dressing. Refreshing yet rich. Grand Meat Cutlet (Black Menchi-katsu): Limited daily supply. Minced beef mixed with vegetables and onions, fried until golden and crispy. It's juicy inside, so be careful not to burn your mouth!
[日本語]大地のサラダ：色々な野菜に特製リンゴドレッシングがかかっていて、さっぱりしつつも濃厚な味わいです。 黒いメンチカツ：数量限定。牛肉をミンチにして野菜や玉ねぎと混ぜ、外はサクサク、中は肉汁たっぷりに揚げてあります。熱いので気をつけて。
[English]Assorted Skewers (8 skewers): You can choose the contents of this set yourself. Skewers are essential in a Japanese izakaya. There's really no better food to pair with alcohol than grilled meat, right?
[日本語]串焼き盛り合わせ：8本選べるセットです。日本の居酒屋といえば、串焼きは欠かせない名脇役です。焼肉ほどお酒に合うつまみはないですよね？
[English]
The three meat rolls are Enoki mushroom roll, Green onion roll, and Tomato roll. Any domestic pork you eat in Japan is delicious. The other plate has grilled chicken skin on the left, something like the "oyster" meat (sot-l'y-laisse) in the middle, and chicken liver on the right. All three were delicious.
[日本語]
豚肉巻き（えのき、ネギ、トマト）。日本の豚肉は美味しいですね。もう一皿は左から鶏皮、ハツモト（？）、レバー。どれも美味しい。
[English]
This one is the Wasabi Chicken Tenderloin. The secret to its deliciousness is that the inside is slightly rare (medium-rare).
[日本語]
そして、ささみワサビ。中がレアなのが美味しさの秘訣。
[English]
While enjoying our drinks, the manager came around handing out tambourines, saying there would be an event soon. Shortly after, this surprise happened...
[日本語]
お酒を飲んで楽しく過ごしていると、店長らしき人が各テーブルにタンバリンを配り始め、「これからイベントやるから盛り上がってね！」と。そして始まったのが、この動画のサプライズ...
[English]
Although this was a celebration for a girl at the next table who shared my birthday, I felt infected by the happy atmosphere. Later, I told the staff it was my birthday too, and they treated me to the grilled bamboo shoots I ordered! So generous!
[日本語]
これは隣の席の女の子（私と同じ誕生日！）のお祝いでしたが、見ている私も幸せな気分になりました。イベントの後、スタッフに「実は僕も誕生日なんだ」と伝えたら、追加注文した焼きタケノコをサービスしてくれました！太っ腹！
就是這個鮮甜多汁的烤筍子，當日最後一份，就撒避暑給我們囉。
🇺🇸 English / 🇯🇵 日本語
[English]
This is the juicy grilled bamboo shoot. The last portion of the day, given to us on the house.
[日本語]
これがそのジューシーな焼きタケノコ。本日最後の一品をサービスしてくれました。
[English]
This is the girl who greeted us at the entrance. Her enthusiasm convinced us to come in. She was also the one leading the birthday celebration in the video. Even though she was busy, she always had a smile on her face.
[日本語]
こちらは入り口で案内してくれた女性スタッフ。彼女の熱心な呼び込みがあったからこそ入店を決めました。先ほどの動画で代表してお祝いの言葉を述べ、場を盛り上げていたのも彼女です。忙しい仕事中も常に笑顔を絶やさず、台湾の無愛想な接客とは大違いです。
[English]
Suddenly, this appeared in front of me!!! (Surprise) The bamboo shoots were just an appetizer. The staff secretly prepared this personalized dessert plate for me. I almost cried on the spot! I really love the vibe of the staff here; it felt like genuine hospitality. SO SWEET...
[日本語]
飲んでいる途中、目の前にこれが登場！！！（驚）さっきのタケノコはただの前菜で、実はスタッフが私のためにこの専用バースデープレートをこっそり作ってくれていたんです。もう少しで涙が出るところでした！心からのおもてなしを感じて、このお店が大好きになりました。SO SWEET...
[English]Jumbo Draft Beer (1500 yen): Since it was last call, I ordered a 1-liter draft beer. They drew a big heart on it! This shop really made me happy. I will definitely come back next time I'm in Tokyo. About the name "Onna Dojo" (Female Dojo)? It's because the staff are mostly women. There's a sister shop nearby called "Otoko Dojo" (Male Dojo) with all male staff.
It's a highly recommended shop. We three ate and drank a lot for only about 13,000 yen (less than 4,000 NTD). Hard to believe this is Shibuya, Tokyo. What can you get for 4,000 NTD in a Taiwanese izakaya? Why is Taiwan so expensive?
[日本語]
最後はジャンボ生ビール（1リットル、1500円）で締め。大きなハートを描いてくれました。本当に楽しいお店で、東京に来たらまた絶対来たいです。ちなみに店名の「女道場」は女性スタッフがメインだから。近くに姉妹店の「男道場」もあり、そちらは男性スタッフばかりだそうです。次はそっちに行ったら、桜子ちゃん（日本の女の子）に会えるかな？（考）
コスパも最高で、男3人で食べて散々飲んでも13000円ちょっと（約4000台湾ドル）。渋谷でこの値段は信じられません。台湾の居酒屋はなんであんなに高いんでしょうね？
