Misaki Hoyo Tobu Ikebukuro
Today I am visiting Ikebukuro.
I'm going to go to a whiskey bar and drink a lot of whiskey, but before that, I'd like to drink a little in my stomach before I go so I don't get too drunk.
So, it is located on the B2F of Tobu at the west exit of Ikebukuro.Misaki Hoyo Tobu Ikebukuro”.
Tobu has two buildings, so there are two B2Fs.
Instead of exiting the B1F ticket gate to Tobu, enter the Tobu that is closer to Lumine, and go down to B2F from there to find the store.
Ikebukuro Station can be a bit difficult to visit if you are not used to it, as it is a maze, but please do your best to find it. .
First, take your meal ticket and pay at the cash register located right behind you.
After paying at the register, take your receipt and meal ticket, sit in the orange seat and wait.
It's a somewhat quirky system, where when it's your turn, a staff member will guide you.
Well, there's a notice, so if you read it, you'll understand.
I visited after 16:00 and there were several people waiting when I bought the meal ticket, but after paying the bill, I was guided right away without waiting.
Nama Beeru (Draft Beer)
Alcohol is on the menu, albeit in small quantities.
So, ``Draft beer (506 yen)” I ordered.
The brand was Super Dry.
The glass is well chilled and delicious.
Maguro Zanmai-don (Assorted Tuna Rice Bowl)
This time, “Maguro Zanmai-don (Assorted Tuna Rice Bowl) (1,330 yen)” was selected.
Normally it costs 1,430 yen, but it seems like they have a service time from 15:00 to 17:00, so I was able to get it for 100 yen off.
It also comes with a bowl.
They also have seafood bowls and sushi, but I think you should try the tuna at this restaurant.
The beer is served about 10 minutes after being served, which gives the impression that the serving speed is rather slow.
The composition is 3 pieces of lean meat, 3 pieces of medium fatty tuna, and 2 pieces of large fatty tuna.
I think it's probably bigeye tuna.
lean meat
The water had not been removed completely and it gave a watery impression.
However, the flavor was strong.
Medium Toro
I got the impression that the medium fatty tuna had a little too much water.
However, the flavor and fat are strong.
Ootoro
The fatty tuna had a good taste and had no moisture.
It's firm enough that it's not too greasy.
It is delicious with the sweetness of the fat and the flavor of the muscles.
Out of these three types, I liked the otoro the most.
rice
The rice was slightly sweet and vinegared.
bowl
It was a seaweed bowl.
The deep seasoning is delicious.
Impressions
The bill was draft beer and Maguro Zanmai-don (Assorted Tuna Rice Bowl), totaling 1,836 yen.
You can eat delicious tuna at this price, and there's plenty of it, so it's no wonder it's so popular.
The tea was really delicious.
I felt the nuances of soup stock that you get with expensive tea.
The overall taste is good, but I'm concerned about the ordering system and customer base.
Please follow the instructions on the ordering system and do your best.
Since it's located inside a department store, the customer base is older, and the food is served at a leisurely pace, so I felt the turnover rate was poor.
This time I visited at a time when it could not be considered lunch or dinner, so there was no wait, but I recommend visiting with some extra time during lunch time.
Also, the seats are at the counter, so if you have two or more people and want to eat in line, you may have to wait longer depending on the availability of seats. .
