I searched this Reddit and others, and read some trip reports that said teens (18-14) aren’t generally welcome in Izakaya’s. However, when I search Tabelog for family-friendly in Shinjuku, many Izakaya’s show up. I did see a comment that indicated Izakayas with table seating would generally allow kids over 12. Is there any consistent rule we can expect or do we just have to show up & be turned away? We will also be an American family of 6 which will make it’s own challenges so I know we will get declined for other reasons….
