Toyosu Pizza Bar GIRASOLE
Today I am visiting Toyosu with my wife around evening.
Toyosu is home to Toyosu Market and LaLaport, so I get the impression that there are many places to eat.
All the shops at Toyosu Market close at lunchtime, so this may not be an option after the evening.
If it's the popular Senkyakubanrai, it's open until late at night, but my wife went there on the first day it opened and said she'd never go there again, so that's not an option for me this time. .
Most of the stores inside LaLaport are chain restaurants, so if you were to ask me if I would come all the way to Toyosu to eat there, I think the answer would be no.
If Toyosu Market and LaLaport are excluded from the options, the options in Toyosu will be narrowed down considerably.
I managed to make full use of Tabelog and Google Mapss and found ``Toyosu Pizza Bar GIRASOLE”.
It's an Italian restaurant that focuses on pizza (as the name suggests, it's actually pizza...but it's written as pizza).
I visited around 6pm and was told that the seats on the 2nd floor were fully booked, so I was directed to the counter seats on the 1st floor.
Orders are made by scanning a QR code and ordering from your smartphone.
Wine
First, let's start with drinks.
Normally I'd go with beer, but since it's a pizza/Italian restaurant, I thought I'd order wine.
A glass of wine costs 450 yen, and my wife and I decided to order two glasses, so we ordered a carafe in anticipation of refills.
The decanter is quite cheap at 1,100 yen for 500ml.
I don't know the brand, and there was a slight alcohol attack, but considering the price, I think this is enough flavor.
Tripper
As Otsumami (Snacks)Tripper” I ordered.
Roughly speaking, Trippa (Stewed Tripe) is a stew with tomato flavor.
The offals such as hachinosu are stewed soft and have a great flavor.
Personally, I found it delicious, but the flavor and texture are two sides of the same coin, so I think people who don't like offal or internal organs might not like it.
Margherita Pizza
The pizza is baked in a proper oven.
I was seated at the counter on the 1st floor, so I was able to watch the cooking and baking process and enjoy the live experience.
Margherita Pizza is made with tomatoes, basil, and cheese, which is simple but delicious.
The pizza is so large and voluminous that two people could probably eat one more piece.
If you pair it with a snack, you might be able to eat it alone.
The pizzas are served relatively quickly, so I think it's a good idea to order one piece first and then order more if you have room.
Impressions
The bill for Trippa (Stewed Tripe), wine, and one pizza was 3,300 yen.
The stay time was just under 30 minutes, so I was able to drink and eat quickly.
The pizza is also authentic, baked in a pot, so I think it's pretty good for this quality at this price.
It seemed like most of the other customers were making reservations in advance and ordering takeout.
If you live nearby, this may be a good idea.
The counter seats are enough for a quick drink and meal, but if you want to stay a little longer, the 2nd floor seats might be better.
『Online reservation (Tabelog)' is also possible, so if you want to sit down, it might be a good idea to make a reservation in advance.
