Kushiage Sangenchaya branch. Although it was my first time there, two people approached me and asked if it was okay to receive a lot of food. I couldn't refuse in that situation, so reluctantly agreed. After that, they were supposed to talk to me after giving me a regular drink, but they just laughed and disappeared to the back. Extremely rude. One of the girls was cute, so it was fine, but the other person was older and I expected a more mature response. The quality of the food was average and delicious. That's all from the scene. Google rating: 4.0 stars (59 reviews) Google rating: 3.1 stars (18 reviews) Address: 1F Sophia Building, 1-15-13 Taishido, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo 154-0004. Closed on Mondays.

Beef tendon stew and grilled beef intestine sandwich, you shouldn't miss these, they are truly delicious. They are served on a large plate with cabbage and skewers on top. The atmosphere is lively with people enjoying yakitori around. The charm of this restaurant lies in the master and the hostess, who are very cheerful, friendly, and easy to talk to, making the experience enjoyable. This place is really wonderful. It's no doubt that the presence of these two makes the skewers in this restaurant delicious.

The restaurant is a bit far from Sangenjaya Station, but it's always crowded. The owner seems to be from Okayama, so you can enjoy various Okayama dishes. Let's start with a toast with draft beer. They have several types of draft beer, which impressed me as a beer lover. The recommended skewers were delicious. The cabbage with vinegar dressing on it is unlimited. The dishes recommended to us were also very delicious. Above all, the hospitality of the owner and his wife was excellent. This is how an izakaya should be.

After passing through the Sakae-dori shopping street, there is an area called Ura-San'ya where various shops are introduced, but the skewers here are the best. I may be saying the same thing over and over, but the beef teki-mino sandwich and super hormone are incredibly delicious. Just going around 2-3 times is very satisfying, and the cabbage is all-you-can-eat. Thank you to the master and the hostess.

The beef tendon sandwich with super hormone is amazing. If you feel like something is missing, try the pork mochi. The cycle of eating this dish never gets old, especially when it comes out with a mountain of cabbage on top. The skewers served on the cabbage really stimulate the appetite. If you eat the cabbage while skewering, you can also get your vegetables in, making you feel healthy. The owner taught me this way of eating, and I was impressed by the attentive service. Before I knew it, my glass was always filled to the brim with alcohol. I feel confident bringing my friends to this restaurant.

Beef tendon stew and minced meat sandwich, I really don't want to miss this. A large plate with cabbage is served, topped with the skewers we ordered. The atmosphere is lively with people enjoying yakitori around. The charm of this restaurant lies in the master and the hostess, who are very cheerful, friendly, and easy to talk to. It's really a wonderful place. There's no doubt that the presence of these two makes the skewers in this restaurant delicious.

I ordered the chef's choice course. It was filling and cost around 3000 yen per person, including drinks, which I found reasonable. The food was delicious, and it seemed like a popular spot with regular customers. I felt that this restaurant is well-loved.

The original store I wanted to go to was closed, so I decided to try this place instead. I sat at the counter and ordered a glass of Hoppy along with the bar's signature dish, potato salad. I also tried the skewers with pork belly and asparagus. The potato salad had a standard taste, not too overwhelming but delicious. The skewers were flavorful, a testament to the expertise of the shop. It was late, so there were few customers and it was not too noisy. It was a cozy bar with a nice atmosphere. It seemed like a husband and wife team ran the place, and their customer service was really pleasant. Despite being a bit far from the station, it was a great bar to visit.

The food was delicious. The atmosphere of the staff was good. It was a shame that it was a smoking-permitted restaurant, but I should have checked beforehand.

Cheap and delicious

Kushi Sho Sangenjaya Store (Kushi Sho) (1-15-13 Taishido, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo) Revisited in 2018 - Images and Videos Plus...Exiting from the south exit of Sangenjaya Station on the Tokyu Setagaya Line and heading a little towards Komazawa University on Route 246, you will find "Kushi Sho Sangenjaya Store" on your left after passing the Sakae Shopping Street. I visited "Kushi Yaki Sho" near Okayama Station in Okayama Prefecture before, and was impressed by the delicious skewers and various dishes. The manager mentioned, "There is also an affiliated store in Sangenjaya, Tokyo, so please visit again." This stayed in my mind, so I decided to visit this store again. Sangenjaya (Sangenjaya) has many hidden gem restaurants, so I often visit just to have a meal. I initially visited this restaurant alone and was very satisfied, so I have been a regular customer since then. This time, I chose this restaurant as a place that satisfies my acquaintance who is also a foodie and shares information about delicious restaurants with me. Therefore, I feel a bit of pressure as I have the authority to choose the menu. The exterior of the restaurant has a bright atmosphere with white as the main color, and the words "Kushi Yaki Sho" are displayed. Upon entering the restaurant, I found it to be spacious with a deep depth. There are table seats in the front that seem suitable for group parties or gatherings, a counter with 10 seats on the right at the back, and table seats on the left, totaling 30 seats. The husband and wife owners welcomed me with a smile, and I settled in with a draft beer (Asahi Super Dry) for 500 yen and a healthy tofu salad for 500 yen. I ordered the original assorted course, featuring beef teki for 350 yen, shiso rolls for 250 yen, seseri for 200 yen, and succulent grilled shrimp with salt for 280 yen. We started with a toast with beer, followed by a tomato, cucumber, sunny lettuce, and tofu salad, along with the restaurant's specialty, the original assorted course. When ordering the skewer course, I was pleasantly surprised to find that fresh cabbage was all-you-can-eat, which was a dream world for a cabbage lover like me. Cabbage can be enjoyed raw, stir-fried, or boiled, making it a versatile vegetable. If I had to choose only one vegetable in this world, I would choose cabbage without hesitation. Looking at the individual skewer menu, the beef teki and seseri stood out as specialties, with the shiso rolls being recommended. Since shrimp is one of my favorite foods, I was excited to see it among the lineup. The tender beef teki, juicy seseri, plump and juicy shrimp, and refreshing shiso rolls were all well-seasoned, making for a great start. The tanteki for 1500 yen (limited to 3 pieces per day) caught my eye as soon as I entered the restaurant, so I made sure to ask about its availability before sitting down. The limited tanteki looked like a thick steak even before it was cooked, and it was already delicious before I even took a bite. Once grilled, the thick slices of tanteki were cut and served on a plate, resulting in a very juicy and perfectly seasoned dish that only got better with each bite. If available during your visit, I highly recommend this exceptional dish. For the second round of the original assorted course, I ordered the pork kimchi roll for 230 yen, negima (green onion and chicken) for 220 yen, pork belly for 250 yen, atsuage (deep-fried tofu) for 130 yen, u-tama (quail egg) for 150 yen, and butamochi (pork and rice cake) for 220 yen. Among the lineup of classic and creative skewers, the focus on meat led me to choose atsuage as a palate cleanser. U-tama, a combination of quail and wiener sausages, with the small wiener sausage sandwiched in between, was adorable. Butamochi, made with pork and rice cake, is an original menu item developed at the Okayama main store. The combination of pork and rice cake was delicious, and I plan to try making it at home during the New Year. I took a break from skewers and ordered single items, including the Jagaimo Mentaiko Mayo flavor for 450 yen and the Italian Cheese Bake (tomato and cheese) for 450 yen. Since there were appealing menu items not available at the Okayama main store, I decided to take a break from skewers and try these single items. The Jagaimo Mentaiko Mayo flavor was inspired by a customer from Hakata who suggested, "Mentaiko and mayonnaise go well together, can you make something with them?" The combination of mentaiko and mayonnaise was undeniably delicious. The Italian Cheese Bake was a menu item inspired by pizza, and since there was no dough, it was baked in a healthy foil with tomato, cheese, and basil.

Kushi Sho (Kushisho) Sangenchaya Store As soon as you get off at Sangenchaya Station, take a left immediately after exiting the Sakaedori shopping street. The street is lined with many shops. Sangenchaya is a popular area in Tokyo for people of all ages. It is especially lively with many young people. The reason I came to Sangenchaya was that... I was tired of walking around the Shibuya area during the day (I'm not used to the energy of Tokyo), and I felt like spending some time alone to relax. I hesitated to enter an unknown shop. (I'm a bit of a coward...) Then, I suddenly remembered that "Kushiyaki Sho," known for its grilled skewers in my hometown of Okayama, had opened a shop in Sangenchaya. I searched on my smartphone and arrived in Sangenchaya after many years... At the entrance of the shop, a banner written in dialect caught my eye, saying "Very delicious!!" It made me happy and relieved at the same time. They specialize in grilled skewers and serve freshly grilled skewers with dedication. The shop is known for its warm and homely atmosphere. When I entered, the owner and his wife greeted me with smiles. I later found out that the owner is from the same hometown and the same generation as me. I raised a toast with a beer. In this hot season, beer is always delicious. The fresh highland cabbage with the shop's original sauce can be eaten as many pieces as you want. Be careful not to eat too much, or you won't be able to eat the main skewers! The lineup of carefully made skewers at Sho. Beef teki, shiso-wrapped pork belly, chicken gizzard, and pork belly skewers, the star players of Sho. Each skewer is meticulously grilled with the owner's dedication. If I were asked which one I like the most, it would be hard to choose. If I had to choose, the beef teki tastes like diced steak. It has a soft but firm texture and goes well with the shop's original sauce. Why is shiso so popular? It has a mature taste. It always enhances the goodness of the paired ingredients and brings out more than its actual taste. The perfect combination of the pork belly meat and fat. They enhance each other's flavors and double the umami. I recommend savoring each skewer thoroughly. It's the owner's dedication that shines through each skewer. The owner brought me a potato salad. It's sweeter than any other potato salad I've had before. It melts smoothly in the mouth. It feels like a dessert. Delicious! The potato salad was a specialty of the owner's mother. The taste she was familiar with since childhood. Now, the wife makes it. I'm sure the owner's mother in heaven is smiling with narrowed eyes. Chikopp (Chikoppy) Sangenchaya Store's original menu item Trio of cheese + kelp + green pepper. They collaborate well while bringing out each other's flavors. The naming is cute and very popular with families with children. Hanpen cheese Hanpen is lightly seasoned with soy sauce. Cheese is placed on top and burnt with a burner. The hanpen was fragrant. This alone filled me up. (I ended up ordering several more skewers in between!) The motto of the shop is to be loved and used by the local people above all. I noticed several hand-drawn pictures displayed in the shop. These are drawn every year by the daughter of a customer who always uses the shop. The lovely pictures. The shop has been delighted to see the daughter grow up and watch over her. The daughter is already 9 years old. I've never seen such a scene before. This shop is a typical example of the owner's and his wife's personalities, who cherish their relationship with customers. How will the daughter feel when she grows up? The pictures of her childhood will definitely be treasures for life. On the other hand, not only local residents but also students and people who have moved to Tokyo for work are visiting the shop more often, attracted by its warm and homely atmosphere. The owner is friendly and warm-hearted. The wife supports with a smile.

This is a restaurant in Sangenjaya that specializes in Okayama-style grilled skewers. The black soybean edamame was delicious, especially since it was boiled right after ordering. The 7-skewer course included beef tenderloin, shiso roll, chicken tenderloin, pork belly, quail eggs, fried tofu, and pork kimchi roll. The fresh cabbage was bottomless, and the skewers were piled on top. The beef tenderloin was juicy and tender, while the shiso roll had a subtle shiso flavor. The chicken tenderloin was small with no distinct flavor. The pork belly had onions in between, which helped cut the fat. The fried tofu was fluffy and had shishito peppers on it. The pork kimchi roll was exactly what it sounds like. The quail eggs were surprising, with a sausage-like item in between. The grilling was done well and everything tasted delicious.

Around 18:30 on a regular day, I was the only customer. As soon as the Olympics started, the flow of customers suddenly stopped. I heard that other restaurant owners I know were experiencing the same thing. I also have no interest in the Olympics, so I sympathize. Hmm, since it's empty, should I welcome it? The 12-course set is 2600 yen, medium draft beer is 500 yen, small is 380 yen, plus tax, total 3680 yen. Skewers, two each, are served on a bed of cabbage on a plate. The cabbage is all-you-can-eat, and they will add more if it starts to run out. I was thinking about what else to order if I wasn't full, but I ended up feeling satisfied. The quality... was a bit inconsistent.

A yakitori restaurant in Sangenjaya. Ordered delivery from their menu. Kushi Shou is a yakitori izakaya that came from Okayama to Sangenjaya. Chose the beef tongue steak and Hirusen yakisoba. The beef tongue steak is thickly sliced and served with karashi mustard and wasabi. Hirusen yakisoba is a B-grade gourmet from Okayama. It might be your first time trying it? It's yakisoba made with miso sauce and chicken, with a sweet yet complex flavor that is easy to eat.
