Hello, I'm Gurumani and I've been wanting to explore areas like Mishuku, Setagaya Park, and Yutenji recently. There are so many great restaurants like Kasugai-san and Trattoria Mishin in those areas, but the access is a bit difficult, so it's hard to bring friends along. However, I've made some good friends around Ikejiri recently, so I decided to visit this restaurant as my second stop! Outdoor dining is a big plus, and the spacious and cozy atmosphere inside the restaurant was impressive! I was already looking forward to my next visit even before looking at the menu! Although I was feeling pretty full, there were so many tempting options for the last dish that I couldn't resist ordering more. Let's dig in! The Garlic Stir-Fried Watercress is a must-order for me, it's packed with garlic flavor and so delicious! I even thought it would be great to have this watercress stir-fry with fried rice or somen noodles. Yum! The Pickled Bamboo Shoot Fried Rice was something I've never seen before, so I had to try it! It was delicious! And the thoughtfulness of the staff to divide it into three portions was so nice! Why didn't I know about this sooner? The Udon Noodles on a plate at a cozy izakaya like this is quite rare, right? And it was really tasty! I tried it with the gold butterfly sauce, but I still prefer eating it with vinegar! That's my preference! Finished the meal feeling a bit unsatisfied as I couldn't eat much at the second place, so would anyone like to go with me next time? I've started posting more detailed photos and descriptions on my blog for things I couldn't fit in here! Please check it out! The link is in my Instagram profile.

This restaurant serves creative Japanese cuisine that is so delicious that every dish stands out from other izakayas. Located in a difficult-to-reach area between Yukigaya-Otsuka, Sangenjaya, Gakugeidaigaku, and Ikejiri-Ohashi, the restaurant is always bustling with customers. The location may be a bit dark and hard to find, especially at night, but it adds to the charm of this hidden gem. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere with a counter that makes it easy for solo diners to enjoy their meal. The staff, dressed in traditional Japanese aprons, warmly welcome guests. Each dish is unique and delicious, making even the regular menu items special. The flavors and ingredients are exceptional, making every bite a delight. Families and locals frequent the restaurant, adding to its neighborhood-friendly vibe. During the warmer months, outdoor seating is available, making it a great spot for group gatherings. Overall, it's a wonderful izakaya that you'll want to visit again and again to become a regular customer.

This lively shop, always bustling with regular customers, was a great place to hop around for drinks. It might be even better if there was an environment where newcomers could easily join the regulars! It's a bit far from the station, so you'll definitely need a taxi or maybe a local bike ride to get there. Address: 1-5-3 Shimoma, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo Phone: 03-6805-3702 Access: 10-minute walk from Yoga Station, or take the Tokyu bus bound for Nozawa Ryugonji from Shibuya Station and get off at Shimoma Eigyosho bus stop (right in front of the bus stop) Open hours: [Tue-Sun] 18:00-2:00 (last order at 1:00), Closed on Mondays *Please note that business hours and days off are subject to change, so please confirm with the store before visiting.

I visited this restaurant the other day after a long time. It's always crowded and popular whenever I come. They have a wide variety of dishes, all of which are delicious, and you can stand and drink. There is also a private room at the back. The atmosphere is nice, and the customers are stylish and fashionable.

Walking about 200 times a year to try different types of meat dishes! I would be happy to receive likes, saves, and comments! Invitations would make me even happier! -------------------------------------------- ◇ It takes about a 10-minute walk from the station down a somewhat quiet street with not much around. Amidst the roads and residential areas, you will find a few shops popping up! I had actually passed by 【しとらす】 a few times before and it always seemed crowded and intriguing! Finally got to go there. It seems like making a reservation before going is a good idea. Even though they have a decent number of seats, it's always packed with customers. Menu items tried: - Assorted small dishes 900 yen With several options for side dishes, it's hard to choose! In such cases, go for the assorted small dishes and try a little of everything!! There are quite a variety of choices, making it enjoyable! - Stuffed bell peppers with seasoned minced meat 550 yen Lots of bell peppers! The balance with the seasoned minced meat is good.. I wish there was a bit more of the meat miso though.. - Pork shabu-shabu with ponzu sauce 1000 yen Well, it's a reliable taste, isn't it? As a Kansai person who loves ponzu sauce, this dish is the best. If I were told I could only bring one seasoning to a deserted island, I would definitely choose ponzu sauce!! - Tuna and natto 850 yen ◎ I got hooked on this! The natto is large and has a strong presence, while the tuna is made with fatty cuts and is quite delicious! I will definitely order this again next time I go! - Garlic rice 800 yen Someone else ordered this and it looked delicious, so I tried the garlic rice! It has a strong flavor but it's so good!! When this kind of dish comes out at the end, I feel like going for another round. It's a popular restaurant, so the menu probably changes frequently. If you are nearby, please give it a try!!

The sashimi is delicious, the chicken nanban is also delicious, the grilled fish is tasty, and the sake and appetizers are delicious. The assorted appetizers are recommended as you can enjoy various side dishes. The closing soba is delicious and the staff are friendly. I will visit again.

This time, I was taken to a trendy izakaya recommended by my friend! The food at this izakaya is delicious! They have a crunchy carrot dish, a watercress and pork salad, and a Champon that is secretly popular and incredibly tasty! What's more, they knew we were sharing with my friend, so they divided the Champon into small bowls for us from the start, which was really kind! The attentive staff are truly wonderful! I want to go back to eat this Champon again...

We started talking about how delicious Shitorasu is, so we took a taxi from Shibuya to go to a second restaurant. The location was around Sangenjaya intersection, Yutenji, and Gakugeidaigaku. We were able to sit at a table since there were seats available. ★Appetizer Assorted small dishes - 850 yen They all looked delicious so we couldn't decide, and ended up choosing the assorted plate. Salad, chicken curry flavored tuna salad, kimpira, lemon salad with tomatoes and onions, and Chinjao Rosu. All of them were delicious and light, perfect for starting the meal. ★Water-soaked eggplant - 600 yen Eggplant at this time of year is delicious. ★Sea urchin miso mayo cucumber - 700 yen Boldly served with raw sea urchin, mayo, and miso dip! The combination was so delicious that we couldn't stop eating the crispy cucumber. ★Pork shabu with ponzu sauce - 900 yen Plenty of grated daikon radish, green onions, and vegetables. The accent of yuzu pepper was also good. We had been ordering light dishes so far, but we started craving curry. ★One-bite curry rice - 450 yen I had never tried it at Shitorasu before, so I was thrilled to be able to eat it! The minced meat curry was incredibly delicious! I wanted to eat a large portion. ★Yanaka ginger tempura - 200 yen My friend ordered this. The three of us had 15 highballs! The highballs were strong and delicious! We also had about 3 glasses of shochu. Shitorasu was delicious as always. The total bill for three people was 14,400 yen. It may have been more than we expected.

I visited a popular restaurant in a residential area. According to the locals around Yutenji, it is a popular restaurant frequented by celebrities as well. I was curious because I couldn't imagine a pub thriving so much in a residential area. When I went, it was a restaurant where the owner's personality shone more than a typical pub. Rather than catering to commercial customers, it seemed like customers were drawn to the unique personality of the owner. The menu and the uniqueness of the restaurant were interesting, with creative dishes. I tried dishes like meat and tofu, fresh amberjack sashimi, watercress salad, rolled omelette, and soba noodles! Everything was well-flavored and delicious. You can enjoy dishes with a unique twist. It's different from what you would find in a big city. However, the soba noodles, despite their appearance, were a bit soft and had a slightly different taste. If you want to drink with a friend from Yutenji until late and enjoy a leisurely time, this place might be a good choice.

Once you step inside, you are enveloped in a unique atmosphere. The wines are mainly organic and carefully selected, delicious, and the other drinks are similar. No matter what dish you order, it is delicious. There are also rare ingredients that make it fun. It's not cheap, but not expensive either. However, if you were to go to a pretentious, expensive, and not very good restaurant, it would be 100 times better to enjoy delicious drinks and food here.

Went to my regular tea shop during the holidays and got dumped. When I arrived, there was a tab waiting for me. I don't remember anything. Oh well. I was able to eat a lot of delicious food within today's budget. I'll go back again.

Good points: The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice and the chicken nanban is delicious. Bad points: The service is lacking, the red wine is too cold, and the umeboshi sour is the worst ever. The umeboshi is small and tastes like it's from a bento box, even when crushed, the flavor doesn't come out.

It's a counter-style restaurant. The food was delicious.

Just the right shop, feels good.
