I visited the branch of "Hantei" in Shin-Marunouchi Building, a kushikatsu restaurant in Negishi. I ordered the lunch course with 8 pieces of kushikatsu. The kushikatsu was freshly fried, not greasy, and the theme of using summer ingredients like corn was very elegant and delicious. It was a shame that I couldn't drink alcohol as it was lunchtime. The small dishes served in between the skewers were also delicious. The dessert was a slightly unusual ramune sherbet. Thank you for the meal.

Limited to Marunouchi workers, the 6-piece assorted tempura set for ¥1540 is offered at a tempura restaurant on the 5th floor of Shin-Marunouchi Building. The set includes shrimp with shiso leaf, young corn, pork-wrapped leeks, scallop cream croquette, beef and cheese, and spicy pepper, each offering a variety of flavors to enjoy. The sweet potato cold soup and rich red miso soup are also delicious.

Anyway, the restaurant had a wonderful night view. After making a reservation, when I asked for a window seat, they kindly accommodated my request. I ordered a course of 10 fried skewers. The ingredients were delicious, and the batter was light and tasty. The beer went well with it, and I even ordered an additional skewer of tomato and cream cheese. It was a very satisfying dinner. I would like to go again for special occasions like anniversaries!

I decided to have a meal at Hantei in Marunouchi Building on short notice and started looking for a place to eat in the building. When I made eye contact with a staff member near the entrance and gestured if I could enter, they immediately gave me the OK (laughs). We started with a toast with beer. Then, assorted tempura dishes were brought one after another. The freshly fried tempura was amazing - thank you for the meal.

The main store of this restaurant is located near Nezu Station. It is a very old and magnificent building, registered as a tangible cultural property. I may have visited it a long time ago, but my memory is vague. I was not aware that they have other branches, but they have opened a new one in Shin-Marunouchi. I met with someone who had been stationed in Suzhou in China and returned home for the Chinese New Year. It had been about 4 years since we last met, so we made a reservation and met at this restaurant. The person was staying at a hotel near Narita Airport and flying to China the next day, so our dinner started early. We met in front of the restaurant, and I greeted them warmly when they arrived just before the start of our meal. Before entering the restaurant, they mentioned that their family home is in Odawara, so they gave me some kamaboko (fish cake) and wasabi pickles from Suzuhiro. I was grateful for the gesture. We sat at the counter at the back of the restaurant and our long-awaited dinner began. We had ordered a set course in advance, which included 10 basic skewers. We started with beer, then shochu, and surprisingly ended with red wine. It turns out that wine goes well with skewers regardless of the type. I even ordered an additional 2 skewers for myself. There were many creative skewers on the menu, not just the traditional ones. Despite being located in the cultural area of Nezu, the restaurant has managed to preserve tradition while also incorporating new and fresh ideas. We had a great time for about 2 hours and then parted ways at Tokyo Station. I wonder when we will be able to meet again next...

The izakaya in Shin-Marunouchi Building. The atmosphere is nice. I was seated at the counter. They only offer courses at night. The oyster gratin kushikatsu was delicious! It's great to be able to eat hot kushikatsu fried right in front of you. The raw vegetables were a bit dry, which was disappointing.

Hantei Shin-Marunouchi Store Located in Shin-Marunouchi Building, this restaurant is different from typical kushikatsu (deep-fried skewers) shops. ✅ Beautiful night view! ✅ Clean interior! ✅ Stylish kushikatsu! You can even have foie gras and truffle. Being inside Shin-Marunouchi Building, the prices are on the higher side, but they offer reasonably priced lunch courses as well. It's a great place for a date.

<Ordered Items> - Assorted 8 skewers course: 2970 yen, rated 3.3 - Non-alcoholic beer: 660 yen - Draft beer: 880 yen <Course Contents> - The assorted 8 skewers consisted of the following: * Shrimp and shiso roll: weakly fried, unpleasant texture, not tasty * Pork tenderloin: weakly fried, not very tasty * Couldn't remember this one * Rice gluten with yuzu miso spread * Beef and cheese: tasted as expected, no surprises * Shiitake mushroom and shrimp mince with tartar sauce * Squid with uni sauce: cheap taste, tough squid - Fresh vegetables - 2 side dishes (roast beef and pickles) - Chawanmushi (savory egg custard) - Dessert <Impressions> Overall, the main issue was that the frying was weak. While it may be the concept of this restaurant, the weak frying, especially with ingredients like shrimp, resulted in a bad texture and lack of flavor. Personally, I prefer skewers with a crispy and fragrant texture, so the frying style of this restaurant did not suit my taste at all. Considering the price of 3000 yen, the quality and quantity of skewers were lacking, making the cost performance generally poor. The only positives were the tasty rice and the view of Tokyo Station from the restaurant. Honestly, I cannot recommend this restaurant. For skewers in this price range, "Ginza Isomura" offers much higher satisfaction. <Concerns> I visited this restaurant once when the Shin-Marunouchi Building opened, so this was likely my second visit. The long gap between visits was probably due to the quality of the food.

On this day, my cousin from Hokkaido happened to be in Tokyo, and my cousin-in-law from Hokkaido also joined us for lunch with three of us. It was a Hokkaido girls' gathering. When we have meals near Tokyo Station, we often use the restaurants in this building. I visited this restaurant for the first time, and the view of Tokyo Station spread out below was amazing. Although I forgot to take a picture of the view... Since it was a long time since our last Hokkaido girls' gathering, the review is more focused on our conversation than the food. ★ Date and Time of Visit ★ December 1, 2022 (Thursday) / 12:00 pm ★ Purpose ★ Lunch with my cousin and cousin-in-law ★ Order Details ★ Lunch course (2700 yen) Draft beer (800 yen) Sour cocktail (700 yen) ★ Order to Service Time ★ It took about 1 hour for everything to be served. ★ Food Impressions ★ It started with appetizers, followed by freshly fried kushikatsu served in three rounds. Each person had their own salt, miso, and sauce for dipping, presented elegantly. The batter was very fine and thin, giving a light and crispy texture to the fried food without feeling heavy. If you prefer a more hearty "The Kushi Katsu" batter, you may find it lacking. The drinks felt quite expensive as there was no set lunch price. I had a great time and ended up having two drinks, but when rice was served at the end while I was still drinking... I felt a bit rushed, but I finished it properly. ★ Recommended Points!! ★ It has a lovely atmosphere with a view of Tokyo Station. The interior is not very spacious, so it did not feel crowded. The Hokkaido girls' gathering after a long time was enjoyable (^-^) The cute and cozy course was satisfying enough for us while chatting. Let's gather again in Tokyo someday ♡

I had been curious for a while and finally got to visit! The lunch is only available as a course, so I chose the 8-piece tempura course. The tempura uses seasonal ingredients and each one was carefully prepared. They were all light and fluffy and incredibly delicious. The other dishes besides tempura were also elegant and very tasty, so I was quite satisfied (^_^)! The location is great with a view of Tokyo Station, and there are counter seats as well. The atmosphere is very nice, so I recommend it for special occasions.

Visited Han-Tei for lunch as KittE was fully booked for an event. Opted for the 8-piece tempura course with a surprise of delicious grilled zucchini. Ordered sake and enjoyed it with the meal. The tempura included pork loin, purple sweet potato, shrimp wrapped in shiso, and more. Also had appetizers like pate and prosciutto, along with miso for dipping vegetables. Finished with seaweed tea rice and a refreshing sudachi sherbet. A satisfying lunch experience.

Sunny autumn weekend. I went shopping in the newly transformed upscale streets of Tokyo Marunouchi and decided to have lunch in Otemachi at "Hantei Shin-Marubiru Store." The original store in the old town of "Nedu" was a charming three-story wooden building that was over 100 years old and a registered tangible cultural property. However, this location is on the 6th floor of the Shin-Marubiru building, with a wall of windows offering a picturesque view of Tokyo Station. Inside, there was a veteran fryer behind the counter. There's something comforting about having an elderly person in charge of frying. I ordered the "Lunch Kushiage 8 Variety Course" for 2970 yen, and enjoyed it with a side of cabbage and vegetable sticks dipped in black miso, accompanied by a refreshing beer. The appetizer was smoked conger eel, served with vegetables to prepare the stomach for the fried food. The "Kushiage 8 Variety" included items like pork loin, purple sweet potato, shrimp and shiso roll, deep-fried wheat gluten, yellowtail, squid with sea urchin sauce, enoki mushroom, beef fillet and cheese, served in that order. I particularly enjoyed the "Kamui Pork Loin," which was from the "Shigen Pork" in Hidaka, Hokkaido. The "Yellowtail" was also light and delicious, making me appreciate the potential of fried blue fish. The crunchy "enoki mushroom" was exceptionally tasty. I decided to order additional a la carte kushiage, including ginkgo nuts, scallops, duck meat with garlic. For the finishing touch, I had the "Iwata Nori Tea Rice Porridge," which was a perfect way to end the meal. Finally, I enjoyed a refreshing yuzu sherbet to cleanse the palate. The staff was efficient and attentive, despite the restaurant being full. While I appreciate the more casual kushiage restaurants that allow double dipping, it's nice to indulge in a high-quality kushiage course like this once in a while, especially when it captures the essence of the season.

Limited to 20 servings: Assorted deep-fried skewers set (1000 yen). Located on the 5th floor of Shin Marunouchi Building, this skewer shop offers meticulously crafted dishes with an elegant taste. The tomato and mozzarella cheese skewer, beef and burdock skewer, and sand lance wrapped in rapeseed flowers are delicious! Fresh vegetables, red miso soup, and soup are included in this price, making it a great deal.

@kushiage.hantei.shinmaru has a wall made entirely of glass! Enjoy freshly fried kushiage while overlooking Tokyo Station! I love the young sweetfish ♡ with shiso leaf and shrimp ♡♡, as well as the Yanaka ginger and nama-fu! So crispy and hot! The freshly fried kushiage at the counter is the best! Add three skewers to the lunch course starting at ¥3000. The beef fillet, cherry tomato, and meat-stuffed shiitake were all hits ♡ The thin glass walls make the alcohol go down smoothly! They also offer business lunches starting at ¥1000.

The other day, I had lunch at the main store of "Hantei" in Nezu, and today I visited the "Hantei" in Shin Marunouchi Building with my colleagues. They serve delicious tempura skewers along with draft beer. From the back of the restaurant, you can enjoy a beautiful view of Tokyo Station through the glass window. It's still bright outside, so I'm looking forward to seeing Tokyo Station lit up as the sun sets. We ordered the "Assorted Tempura Skewers (10 kinds) for 5,250 yen," which came with 10 types of tempura skewers, seasonal appetizers, side dishes, and fresh vegetable tempura. Everything was freshly fried and hot, and it was all delicious. We enjoyed our meal with beer, white wine, and Yamazaki highball. As everyone wanted more, we ordered additional "Quail Eggs" and "Kiss Fish Rolls with Mitsuba." Even though I was quite full, I joined in the additional order. The illuminated Tokyo Station looked even more elegant as the night fell. This is a great restaurant where you can also enjoy the night view!

It was a private dining experience so unfortunately I couldn't take any photos! This restaurant is located on the 5th floor of the bustling Shin-Marunouchi Building, and even though we arrived late, it was still full of customers. They offer two course options with additional items available, offering a balanced meal from appetizers to skewers. Overall, the food was delicious, but the oiliness may be a bit heavy for dinner. I recommend it for those who enjoy skewers!

I visited for lunch. Located on the 5th floor of the Shin-Marunouchi Building, you can enjoy tempura while overlooking Tokyo Station. I ordered the 8 kinds of tempura course. I asked for no raw vegetables as I don't like them, and chose nori chazuke for rice. All the tempura was delicious and satisfying.

This is a branch of the famous kushiage restaurant Hantei in Negishi. The kushiage here, like the main branch, has a fine and elegant coating. I have been a regular at Shinjuku Tachibana for many years, but the kushiage at Hantei offers a different style that I quite enjoy. On this day, I ordered a set of 5 skewers and added 3 more of my choice, and they even gave me an extra skewer as a service. Although I already had a good impression, this kind of service made me even happier, especially since it was my first time experiencing it at a restaurant in Marunouchi. With high expectations, I would like to point out that unlike the main branch, this branch has counter seats, so it would be more appealing if they served each skewer as soon as it was fried to keep it hot, and this could differentiate it from the main branch. The location is also convenient, so I would definitely like to visit again when I crave kushiage for lunch.

I had been wanting to visit this restaurant because it is more conveniently located than the one in Negishi, and finally got the chance. I was meeting up with a friend after two years, and we decided to meet at Tokyo Station. We planned to choose a lunch spot in Marunouchi Building or Shin-Marunouchi Building's restaurant area. My friend suggested a Chinese restaurant, but I wasn't feeling it, so we ended up going to the restaurant I wanted to go to. Since we arrived early, there was a special set menu available, but we wanted to take our time, so we ordered the course menu with eight types of tempura. The meal included appetizers (maybe it was sea bream), fresh vegetables, tempura (pork loin with green onion, purple sweet potato, shrimp with shiso leaf, lotus root stuffed with meat, and fish cake), soup (pumpkin), tempura (scallop, yuba, beef), ochazuke, and dessert (gateau chocolat). Everything was delicious. My friend seemed satisfied too. During the early hours, there were tourists like us, and then people working in the area came in for a quick meal, followed by more tourists. The restaurant is small, but there are many counter seats, so it seems fine to dine alone. The atmosphere in Negishi is also lovely, so I would like to visit both places again.
