I was in Chiba meeting a friend at Nishi-Funabashi station today for lunch and we eventually ended up at this nicer looking izakaya right outside the station.  They have pretty reasonably priced lunch specials and I ordered a nabe teishoku while he had a bowl of hot mushroom soba.  The food was ok, not the best, but the best part was the hefty portions of szechuan pepper to sprinkle on the food.  It's the numbing pepper and isn't super spicy, but it's does add some flavor.
