When I got off at Nihonbashi Station on the Ginza Line, I was surprised to see how busy it was, even though it was a Thursday. The staff were very polite and kind, and I was amazed by the wide selection of Junmai and Shinsei sake. I definitely want to go back to try more than just the delicious sashimi and oyster fry.

I am always surprised by the lineup of sake at this place. The appetizers are also delicious. Even the complimentary dish is exquisite. There is a whole world here that you don't know about. It's amazing. If the manager looks bored, try asking them some questions. You might be surprised by what comes out.

The store directory in the building has not been updated, which is confusing. I wandered around the basement floor and thought that the stores were all part of the same capital group, but it seems that is not the case. Perhaps the company running this store (selling items like grilled chicken and irori) is different from the owner. In any case, it's a mystery. The fact that this store has been open for 8 months and still neglected is quite puzzling. There are many interesting points to note individually (as mentioned later), and the selection of Japanese sake is impressive. The floor staff, although they are probably part-time workers, seemed to be working hard. However, there are some points to note: - The boiled spring chrysanthemum served as an appetizer is good. - Tuna head meat sashimi, also known as "brain sashimi," is a must-try if available. It is incredibly delicious. - The raw sardine dish was recommended as "in season," but it was a bit underwhelming. - Butter-grilled shiitake mushrooms from the log. It was tasty but I was expecting a larger portion. - I ordered a platter of three oyster fritters, which came with a plain mayonnaise-like tartar sauce and cut lemon on the side. - Grilled mountain vegetables served hot included skunk cabbage, udo, and rapeseed blossoms. However, I found it hard to believe that these were actually mountain vegetables. - I ordered the real dried shishamo smelt from Muregawa, but the order was forgotten. - The rice cooked in a pot with octopus, scallops, and myoga was excellent. It was worth the nearly one-hour wait. - I had a medium-sized draft beer. The selection of sake was mainly chosen by Hasegawa. The total bill came to just over 7,000 yen. Overall, the quality of the ingredients and the presentation in a clean building like this inevitably lead to a certain level of expenses. It's a tough job running a restaurant. (I initially thought the payment was around 8,000 yen per person, but upon closer inspection of the receipt, it was just over 7,000 yen, so I apologize for the slightly harsh tone in my previous comments.)

I visited a relatively new restaurant located on the underground floor of the YUITO building, directly connected to Mitsuke-mae Station, last July. The menu board outside indicated prices starting from 1,480 yen with a drink included. However, upon entering, I found that the lunch menu started from 1,000 yen, which was a bit confusing as the outside board seemed to display dinner set prices. I ordered the tuna and chicken karaage set for 1,200 yen, which came with a choice of brown or white rice and free refills. The small dishes included okra, cold tofu, and pickles, while the miso soup had onions in it. The karaage portion was a bit small, with only four pieces, and the tuna was even smaller. I felt that they could have added more tuna instead of reducing one karaage piece. The white rice was average, but the brown rice with red beans had a nice texture and flavor. Overall, the meal was satisfying, and the nostalgic music playing in the background added to the ambiance.

I happened to come across this wonderful shop♪ They have a premium lineup of Japanese sake that everyone knows. In a world where common scams are the norm for high-level brands, it's a joy to find ones that are easy to drink and reasonably priced. And it's not just the sake. The food was also carefully and beautifully prepared. - Oden platter - Assorted sashimi - Fried gingko nuts - Specialty tempura of premium onions and pickled ginger Sakes tried: - Yamagata Juyondai Daiginjo Mankouto Bin Iced Aged Daigokujou Shiroshu - Yamagata Juyondai Junmai Daiginjo Ryu no Otoshiko Daigokujou Namazake - Yamagata Juyondai Junmai Daiginjo Gokujou Shiroshu Kuchi Hirake - Yamagata Juyondai Soudare Genshu Namazake - Aomori Tatenokawa Junmai Daiginjo Kuchi Hirake The fridge was packed with over 100 treasures, and I would have loved to try more, but it was time for the main event, so I settled the bill. The restaurant was fully booked, with the only available seating being on the terrace outside. It was freezing cold, but I followed my instincts and had a very satisfying experience. Next time, I'll make sure to reserve a warm indoor seat and fully enjoy the encounter with new sake. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

It's been a while, so I stopped by for a solo drink. I found a seat at the counter and looked at the menu, which had a good selection of alcoholic drinks, especially sake. The complimentary dish was oden for 500 yen. I ordered a beer and also got the recommended dishes: tuna sashimi and monkfish tempura. The oden had a light broth and could have been simmered a bit longer. The tuna was 1000 yen, and I wish there was a bit more for the price. The monkfish was okay. The sake menu was impressive, with options like 14th Generation and Shinsei. However, the prices varied depending on the brand and there were different types within each brand, making it a bit confusing to order. It might be better to go for a set menu with all-you-can-drink options for a more satisfying experience. Thank you for the meal.

From Kanda Nico to Nihonbashi. The shops around here are inside buildings, so you wouldn't know they're there unless you go inside. It's not easy to find a place open after 9:30 pm, but I stumbled upon this place. The interior is bright and clean, with plenty of dishes that go well with sake. Since it was our second stop, we just had some snacks. ★ Oden as the appetizer - it was surprisingly hearty with daikon, chikuwa, tsukune, and konbu. The light broth was delicious. ★ Pickled vegetables assortment - not your usual cucumber and daikon, but instead red turnip, smoked herring, mountain burdock, and salted pickled shallot. ★ Oolong Highball - they had a wide selection of sake, but a refreshing oolong highball was a good choice. I'm sure the other dishes like the natural tuna sashimi would be tasty too. I'll definitely come back when I have more room in my stomach.

This is a restaurant located on the B1 floor of the Yuito Building, directly connected by an underground passage from Mitsukoshimae Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line. It used to be a place called Ikken Sansai until June this year, where you could enjoy dishes like Hishio Karaage for lunch. However, they relocated to Otemachi, and this new restaurant took over the space. The interior remains mostly the same, so you might not notice much of a difference. I visited during weekday lunchtime. Upon entering, I sanitized my hands with alcohol and was seated at a vacant counter. The lunch menu mainly consists of set meals ranging from 1000 to 1200 yen, with items like fresh tuna and Sendai beef tongue priced higher. Options include mackerel bento, hokke fish bento, pork miso marinade grill, maguro buts chicken karaage bento, chicken karaage bento, chicken steak bento, pork shabu bento, natural fresh tuna sashimi bento, Sendai beef tongue grill bento, and braised pork bento. For an additional charge, you can add side dishes like natto, cold tofu, and grated yam. You can choose between white rice and brown rice. I went with the braised pork bento and brown rice. The meal included two large pieces of braised pork, simmered radish, and vegetables as sides. The salad or side dish was a bit lacking. The side dishes were okra, bamboo shoots, pickles, and miso soup. The rice was served in a small portion initially but was refillable. The braised pork was tender and easily fell apart with chopsticks. The fatty parts were particularly delicious. I enjoyed it with the accompanying spicy mustard and radish. While it may be challenging to offer lunch at a chain izakaya price point, the food was tasty, and it was nice to see dishes like the chicken steak being prepared right in front of you.

This place used to be a shop that focused on koji, but it changed to a different shop through a lease. The sign advertising "Juyondai" and all-you-can-drink seemed a bit suspicious in a funny way w. They had quite a variety of sake from different regions, but the selection was more about comparing different types of the same brand. It's not common to find a place where you can compare different varieties of Isomansaku, for example. The food was like typical snacks for drinking sake. The fried green eggplant in the photo was crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and delicious, but the mini bottle of Bulldog sauce that came with it was cute! It subtly added a touch of Nihonbashi vibes! I thought that was nice.

Harmonica Yaki - I don't often have the chance to eat it, but it's like eating tuna spare ribs! Spicy and delicious! The liver and leek dish has big chunks of liver that taste great! The meal ends with onigiri.

Ordered a course meal. The private room had a slight fishy smell coming from the kitchen, which was a bit distracting until I got tipsy. The pace of the dishes was too fast, filling up the table quickly. I wish they would adjust the speed to match the eating pace a bit more. The food was decent. They have a variety of sake options, so it might be good for sake lovers. But I wouldn't recommend the course meal.

There is a wide variety of sake available, from sashimi to fried and grilled dishes, everything is available.

A shop where you can enjoy rare Japanese sake and delicious food that is hard to come by. The cost performance of dishes such as dried fish is particularly good, and I will definitely be a repeat customer!

There are over 100 types of sake, and the menu stated that they have 6 types of Junmai Daiginjo, but in reality, they had 7 types! The food menu also had a wide variety of dishes to pair with the sake, which made it easy to enjoy drinking.

It was my second visit and I was able to meet my friend after 20 years. Everything we had this time was delicious as well, from the assorted sashimi, horse sashimi, fried oysters, to sake-steamed clams. We ended the meal with seafood yakisoba, which was also delicious. They have a wide variety of sake, so I'm looking forward to going back next time to focus on enjoying sake. Everyone was smiling as we left, and the next day I received a thank you email for the recommendation!

I was very satisfied with the course meal. They were considerate enough to serve the dishes together even when one person arrived late. It was much appreciated. It's great when you're hungry and want to drink Japanese sake!

The food has a good portion size and you can choose brown rice at no extra charge, making it around 1000 yen, which is a good deal for a lunch in Nihonbashi. The seating inside is a bit close to each other, but if they put partitions it would make dining more comfortable. During lunchtime, there are many customers coming and going, and some are chatting, so I hope they improve by not stacking glasses on the tables.

Every time we come here, we enjoy delicious sake. This time, I decided to focus on chatting with my subordinates, so I ordered a course with all-you-can-drink option. However, my discerning subordinates quickly picked out the sake they wanted to try. It's all good though. We started with beer as a chaser and then moved on to a variety of sake. The cold weather was quickly forgotten as we had a great time.

Visited this restaurant for a second round looking for some fish. The fresh saba, medium fatty tuna, and delicious flavors were all on point! There was a wide selection of Japanese sake to choose from, which lifted my spirits. Looking forward to enjoying myself properly from the first round next time. The terrace seating was nice, especially on a warm day.
