My husband and I visited this place for a second round of drinks. It was a day when a typhoon was hitting, and by the time we left, the place was almost full of regular customers. It's a restaurant that mainly serves fish dishes, and they have quite a selection of Japanese sake. When a customer asked the part-time staff for a recommended sake, the staff member asked someone behind the counter, so there might be someone knowledgeable about the shop. Nothing special was done for us, but it's a cozy space that feels like home. Thank you for the meal.

Today, I visited a restaurant called Hirojin. Since it was early, the restaurant was not crowded and we were seated right away. We started with some drinks and cheers, and then our sashimi arrived. It was so delicious that we couldn't stop eating. Every dish that came after was also delicious, and we left satisfied!

"Hirojin" Otsuka Station is a 3-minute walk away. Hirojin, once again, less than a week since the last visit! The reason is obvious - just look at the shine and thickness of this sashimi! Look at this! When this comes out, you can't help but smile, and just thinking about it makes you want to eat it again! If you think it's too good to be true, go and see for yourself! You might think the photos are edited, but trust me, it's real (laughs). When it comes to sashimi, I always thought soy sauce and wasabi were the way to go, but I learned that salt is also a good option. This time, there were no shining stars, but instead, we had a unique delicacy - the second picture! Can you guess what it is? It's actually... [Mackerel roe]! I had no idea until I was told, and the fact that you can eat mackerel roe was quite shocking! The paired sake was Mimuro Sugi's Grazia a Dio - slightly sweet but with a refreshing aftertaste! It complemented the sashimi perfectly, cleansing the palate of any lingering fat. #Otsuka Izakaya #Tokyo Izakaya #Tokyo Izakaya Tour #Otsuka Gourmet #Otsuka #Sashimi Platter #Mackerel Roe #Mackerel Eggs #Mimuro Sugi #Mimuro Sugi Grazie a Dio #Drunkard

The mentaiko potato salad (649), eel skewer (209), limited quantity black wagyu lamp skewer (209), yakisoba Shimacho skewer, with ponzu sauce, bonjiri, dashi rolled egg, chicken thigh sashimi. The appetizer is carrot shirishiri. All the dishes are skillfully delicious♪ The prices are a bit on the higher side for Otsuka, but the variety and usability of the menu make it a good restaurant in my opinion (*^^*)

"Hirojin" is a charcoal-grilled skewers and seasonal dishes restaurant located just a 3-minute walk from Otsuka Station. It opened on April 1st, just in time for April Fools' Day! Since it's newly opened, the inside of the restaurant is not only clean but also filled with a lively atmosphere. The food and drinks are incredibly fresh and delicious! The first photo might look like horse sashimi or liver sashimi, right? Well, it's actually "Mouka no Hoshi," which is the heart of a shark! Surprisingly, it's very tasty with no fishy or unpleasant smell. It tastes like a richer and more delicate version of horse sashimi. Pair it with Kariho's fresh sake, and you're in for a treat! The sake is poured in a way that will make any sake lover smile. The menu offers a variety of dishes, from classic to exotic items like the ones mentioned above. The last photo shows "Akana Mako Ponzu," a dish with a crunchy texture that is quite addictive. Whether you love sake or not, this restaurant is a great place to enjoy delicious food and drinks. #OtsukaGourmet #OtsukaIzakaya #MoukaNoHoshi #SharkHeart #Kariho #FreshSake #AkanaMakoPonzu #ExoticDishes #InstaGourmetAward2021"

The menu was extensive, and the food from yakitori to fish was delicious. It was reasonably priced, with good quality and portion size, and the alcohol was served promptly.

It was a good restaurant that satisfied me enough. It also gives me a nostalgic feeling. I really liked it.

I was kept waiting for 40 minutes from ordering to receiving the food, even though it was a regular weeknight. It was the worst experience and I will never go back.
