“Kaburaya Ryogoku” I visited.
Kaburaya is a popular bar chain that operates mainly in Tokyo.
You can enjoy motsuyaki and black oden at reasonable prices.
The Ryogoku store is close to the station and is conveniently located for a quick drink.
Ordering and Payment
Payment method: cash only
Menu
The menu mainly includes motsuyaki, black oden, and a la carte dishes.
Many motsuyaki pieces cost around 100 yen each, making them quite reasonably priced.
The alcohol lineup is typical of a popular bar, including draft beer, Chuhai, and Hoppy.
I don't think it's a high-class place, but rather a place that's perfect for a quick drink at a cheap price.
Draft beer + 6 motsuyaki
This time I had Osake Nihai (Two Drinks) and 6 pieces of Motsuyaki.
Now, let me introduce you to the menu we received this time.
Nama Beeru (Draft Beer)
First of all,Draft beer (528 yen)".
The brand is Super Dry.
It has a stable taste.
If you want to pair it with Motsuyaki, I think draft beer is a good place to start.
Shiro (Intestine)
We arrived about 20 minutes after the draft beer arrived.
I should have ordered the filler menu for this.
Well, I was waiting while reading a novel, so it wasn't that bad.
First, let's start with the sauce.
『Shiro (121 yen)”.
You can really feel the fat.
It has a slightly shiitake-like flavor.
It has the fat and aroma typical of motsuyaki, and goes well with the sauce.
If you can eat at this price, it's enough.
Teppo
Next, ``Teppo (121 yen)”.
It feels more greasy than white.
I get the impression that the taste of shiitake mushrooms increases even more.
Personally, I felt this one had more quirk than Shiro.
However, I think it's good for those who like this quirk.
Amireva
『Amireva (176 yen)”.
This is a piece of liver wrapped in net fat.
The richness of the fat adds to the flavor of the liver.
If you eat it with sauce, the taste will go even further with alcohol.
Even if you don't like liver, the flavor of the grilled fat may make it a little easier to eat.
Nama Beeru (Draft Beer)
As expected, one cup was not enough.Draft beer (528 yen)' has been added.
I can't wait to have a drink.
When you're eating motsuyaki, you'll be drinking more beer.
guts
Now for the salt.
『Gatsu (88 yen)”.
It has a crunchy texture and flavor.
There's a bit of shiitake here too.
Considering the price of 88 yen, I'm very grateful.
This is the type of part where you can enjoy the texture.
Kashira
『Kashira (143 yen)”.
You can really feel the flavor of the meat and fat.
I think it's one of the easiest parts of motsuyaki to eat.
By adding salt, you can easily understand the flavor of the meat.
It also goes well with beer.
Nankotsu (Cartilage)
『Nankotsu (121 yen)”.
It has a strong and crunchy texture.
It has quite a strong texture.
I think it's good for those who like things.
It's good to wash it down with beer while chewing.
Impressions and Rating
『Kaburaya Ryogoku” I visited.
The bill was 1,820 yen for 6 pieces of Osake Nihai (Two Drinks) and Motsuyaki.
Overall, it was cheap motsuyaki.
I'm really grateful that I can eat this for around 100 yen each.
At other shops, it's not uncommon for one bottle to cost around 200 yen.
If you compare it with the 200 yen shop, you can definitely feel the difference in taste.
However, I personally don't think there is a difference in taste worth 100 yen per bottle.
I think it's not as good as other well-known restaurants, but compared to the motsuyaki restaurants around here, I think it's a good place to go.
On the other hand, the store was extremely crowded.
There were only a few staff members, and I had the impression that they were slow in taking orders and providing food.
That's a concern.
However, considering the price and ease of use, I think this is a restaurant that would be on your list when you want to have a light drink at Ryogoku.
Taste: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆ (6)
Cost performance: ★★★★★★★★☆☆ (8)
Revisit: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ (7)
Summary
- A reasonable bar chain near Ryogoku Station
- Motsuyaki costs around 100 yen each, which is pretty cheap overall.
- Total price: 1,820 yen for 2 draft beers and 6 offal grills
- The taste is not at the level of a famous restaurant, but considering the price, it's satisfying enough.
