The ordering method is a little special.

There will be an explanation when you are shown to your seat, so make sure you don't miss it.

Furthermore, at this store, when you leave the store and before paying, you must return your drinking glasses to the return slot at the counter, and return chopsticks and plates to the return slot at the kitchen counter.

The menu is on the table, but recommended menu items, especially sashimi, are listed on a whiteboard, so make sure you don't miss them.

Menu received: Draft beer + 3 snacks

This time, I decided to have a draft beer and 3 snacks because I wanted to have a quick drink.

In terms of balance, two snacks for one drink is just right, but there was one item on the menu that I was a little curious about, so I ordered three.

Now, let me introduce you to the menu we received this time.

Nama Beeru (Draft Beer)

First of all,Draft beer (490 yen)”.

The brand is Kirin Lager.

The size of the mug is 500ml, so it's a satisfying drink.

The cheapest drink on the menu is ``Chuhai (250 yen)', and considering that it costs 2 glasses, beer is one of the more expensive drinks.

By the way, the most expensive menu item is Romanée-Conti.

The price is said to be 4 million yen, but depending on the vintage, it may be surprisingly reasonable.

Nikomi (Stew)

The first snack item is ``Stew (150 yen)”.

It contains offal, tofu, daikon radish, and konnyaku, and is thoroughly stewed.

When I come to a dinner party, I almost always end up ordering something.

Black sea bream

Next is “Black sea bream (250 yen)”.

You can also get sashimi at this restaurant.

You can really taste the flavor of Thailand with its sticky texture.

Flounder

Although it was provided together withFlounder (310 yen)”.

This also has a sticky texture, and you can really taste the flavor.

Usually, sashimi from cheap restaurants is likely to be watery or have a strong fishy smell, so it takes a lot of courage to order it.

However, please feel safe ordering from this store.

The moisture has been removed, it is sticky, and there is almost no odor.

It's better than the supermarket, and I think it's on a level that can even compete with some izakaya restaurants.

Impressions and Rating

The bill was draft beer + 3 snacks, totaling 1,200 yen.

It's an overwhelming cost performance.

It tastes good enough, but don't expect too much from it.

However, considering that the prices of the dishes range from 100 to 300 yen, I think the taste of each dish is worth more than the price.

There are quite a few stores in Tokyo, and they are open from noon on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, so I plan to visit again.

Overall: ★★★★☆ (4.0)
Taste: ★★★☆☆ (3.0)
Cost performance: ★★★★⯪ (4.5)
Revisit: ★★★★☆ (4.0)

Summary

  • Cost performance! Overwhelming cost performance!
  • Senbero
  • Drink minimum price 250 yen
  • Dishes lowest price: 90 yen
  • Standing/Lunch drinking
