they changed their policy--happy hour is all day and has the 3$ Sapporos and other tasty treats for those who sit at the bar only. If you want ramen or udon for 5$ that starts after 9 and goes till close(11 I think).

Biwa may be my new favorite place. It's situated in a somewhat obscure and subterranean location, but don't let that deter you from checking it out. The food items include a variety of grilled meat kabobs and a noodle based soups. They also have a decent sake selection. The happy hour at Biwa is a great deal with appetizers for $2 and large Sapporo for $3.
