I visited around 11:30 am on a weekday. There were over 10 people in line, but the restaurant was surprisingly spacious, so I was able to get in without much trouble. I was seated in a booth-like area in the back, similar to a family restaurant, so I could enjoy my lunch without feeling the pressure of the waiting crowd. I ordered the limited-edition 15-serving tuna bowl. The tuna was piled high, and the flavors of the lean meat and fat spread throughout my mouth, leaving me completely satisfied! The tuna was so plentiful that I slightly regretted ordering a small portion of rice. I might have been better off with a large portion!
I visited this place based on a friend's recommendation. It was my first time in the Otemachi area in a while, and I was surprised to see such beautiful new buildings! The restaurant itself is located on a corner in a charming, retro-style neighborhood. I was tempted to check out the other shops too (laughs). But I resisted the urge and headed straight to my meeting spot. The exterior of the restaurant was clearly beautiful, and the interior was just as nice (of course!). We were seated at a table facing each other. There were other customers, but it wasn't noisy at all. We could relax and chat while enjoying our drinks and food. I let my friend order everything, and everything was delicious, from the hegi soba to the french fries to everything else! I definitely want to go back again!
I tried the "Hiya-jiru" (chilled soup) set meal for ¥1,300 for the first time, and it was delicious! It has a variety of small side dishes, so it might be suitable for women. The "Hiya-jiru" itself was also delicious and didn't have any strong flavors. I was told I could add grilled mackerel to the "Hiya-jiru", but I enjoyed it with just the tofu. Usually, I can't finish all the rice, but I ate it all with the "Hiya-jiru". I'll definitely go back for more! I had the simmered fish set meal for ¥1,100. I forgot what kind of fish it was. It was a lean fish with no fat. It was a bit dry. I think I prefer the salt-grilled "Buri Kama" (collar of yellowtail) set meal. Weekday lunch. Today, I had the salt-grilled silver salmon set meal for ¥1,200. There are seats in the back too. It's quite spacious. The sashimi and salmon in this set meal were delicious, and the salmon had a lot of meat. However, the cabbage salad was dry. I'll try the seafood chanpon (noodle soup) next time. This restaurant has always had a line, so I was curious about it. There were fewer people in line this day, so I went in. I ordered the salt-grilled "Buri Kama" (collar of yellowtail) set meal for ¥1,200. The fish was big. I was full. The rice was also delicious. I've been to many different restaurants in this area because I crave grilled fish regularly, and this is the best! I'll be back.
This restaurant, located in the basement of the Otemachi Park Building near the Imperial Palace in Otemachi, offers delicious seafood and sake. While not as expensive as a traditional Japanese restaurant, a meal with good sake and various dishes can easily cost around ¥10,000. I recommend making a reservation and opting for the all-you-can-drink option whenever possible. If you're looking for a special occasion treat and prioritize quality, this is a great choice. The sashimi is particularly impressive, with sharp edges that attest to its freshness and the chef's skill. (*ﾉω'*)
