Visited with a reservation for two on a Friday in October 2020. We booked a course for 3990 yen with a 2-hour all-you-can-drink option. We sat at the counter. The fresh shirasu from Sajima Port, Miura vegetables, and ingredients from Kanagawa Prefecture were delightful. The sashimi was beautifully presented. The selection of sake for the all-you-can-drink option was excellent. Japanese sake goes well with Japanese cuisine. We were very satisfied.

I used it for a lunch in the office. It had been a while since I visited, and I was pleasantly surprised to run into an old acquaintance while ordering sangria at the front. I ordered the simmered duck, but compared to before (did they reduce the sashimi and salad?), the portion was smaller and the taste of the simmered duck was so-so. I remember it being much tastier in the past. It left me feeling a bit disappointed.

I stopped by this restaurant on my way back from a live concert. It's about a 7-minute walk from the International Forum. The restaurant may seem narrow at first, but it's actually quite spacious. They seem to specialize in fish sourced from various fishing ports. They have a wide variety of alcoholic beverages as well. The first dish they served was of high quality. This time it was deep-fried tofu, and it was delicious being freshly fried. The sashimi was also thick and fresh. I forgot how many dishes we ordered, but all the fish dishes were really tasty. There was no disappointment. I recommend the potato salad. They crush it themselves and the balance of mayonnaise and other ingredients is perfect. The prices are reasonable for Ginza. The staff members are efficient and even though they were busy, they took the time to explain things properly. They have lunch menu as well, so I would like to try it out during the day next time.

Located on the basement floor of the Kishimoto Building, this restaurant is popular among office workers during lunchtime. You can enjoy today's special menu or other dishes like seafood bowls at a reasonable price. Plus, you can have unlimited rice and miso soup, which is a rare find for a lunch under ¥1,000 near Marunouchi area. Ordering a set meal will get you three kinds of sashimi, such as bonito tataki, tuna, and one more dish. However, sometimes they may only serve two kinds, so the consistency is not guaranteed. The large and delicious oyster fry makes me want to come back when they have it on the menu again!

I visited on Monday night and enjoyed "draft beer" and "local sake" with a variety of sashimi (upgraded from 10 to 12 types with a coupon), crab miso potato salad, Hokkaido jumbo asparagus steamed, octopus karaage with plenty of Kujo green onions, and real green onion hand rolls. Each dish was fairly tasty and considering the location, I think it offers good value for the money.

On the way back yesterday, I was curious about the underground food court at the Kishimoto Building, so I decided to do some reconnaissance. I found out that the familiar "Sangria" is still there, but along with that, there are two sister restaurants from the time I worked in Nihonbashi. I decided to head to "Saga Prefecture Sanze Village Fumoto Akadori" for lunch. Unfortunately, when I arrived at around 12:30, they had already sold out of the "Grilled Chicken Thigh Set," which left me disappointed. I ended up going to "Hanatare" on the same underground floor. Although it wasn't what I originally planned, I ordered the "Real Green Onion and Kettle-boiled Whitebait Bowl," which was enjoyable but didn't quite match the satisfaction I had in Ningyocho. The atmosphere and system of the restaurant may have played a part in that.

A popular seafood izakaya among salarymen working in the Marunouchi area. It gets especially crowded on Fridays, so it's better to make a reservation. I've been here so many times... I've tried various dishes, but I always order the sashimi platter. The taste and cost performance are great. Other menu items are also delicious, so you can confidently order anything.

For my post-work lunch, I decided to go to Hanatare because I was craving fish. Lately, I haven't been able to stomach meat or fried foods, I just really wanted fish. Hanatare is the best place to go for a variety of fish dishes. If you go after 1 pm, there may be a bit of a wait but it's not too crowded. However, some dishes may sell out. On this day, they were out of a few items, but they had mekabu rice bowl and local fish simmered in soy sauce set meal available. The mekabu rice bowl was overflowing with mekabu and topped with bonito flakes, but it was not seasoned. I added a soft-boiled egg and enjoyed it with sashimi and simmered fish. Even though I asked for less rice, the portion was still generous. After finishing the meal, I was completely satisfied. The mekabu rice bowl, sashimi, simmered fish, cold tofu, and some kind of marinated fish were all delicious. I felt happy being able to enjoy a variety of fish dishes. Fish is the best! I always daydream about winning the summer jumbo lottery and quitting my job to become a traveler, working here and there, and learning how to catch and prepare fish to eat. It's just a fantasy, though. My husband always tells me to take it seriously, but even if I win, I won't tell him! Haha.

I found a course with all-you-can-drink including 10 types of Japanese sake on Tabelog. It's only 5500 yen per person, so the cost performance is amazing! The appetizers, sea urchin pudding, deep-fried dish, sashimi, fried dish, simmered yellowtail, angler hot pot, porridge, and bracken rice cake were all delicious dishes, and everyone was very satisfied. Especially the sea urchin pudding! The slight bitterness of the sea urchin remained just right and was creamy and delicious, pairing very well with the Japanese sake. Because of this great cost performance, the restaurant was full of customers, so I recommend making a reservation before going.

If you want to have a fish lunch around Marunouchi area, Hanatare is the way to go! You won't be disappointed with the price, quality, and portion. I saw bonito tataki from Kochi on TV a while ago. Ah, I want to go to Kochi. I want to ride a bike along the Shimanto River and most of all, I want to eat bonito tataki with garlic and salt! I only think about eating and traveling. Whenever I have free time, I search for food and travel-related topics on my smartphone, and I'm just daydreaming. When I saw the lunch menu at Hanatare with a combination of bonito sashimi and tataki, I was thrilled! Instead of garlic salt, I eat it with soy sauce and wasabi, and ginger, and it was delicious without any fishy taste. Hanatare, you did a great job!! The rice portion was large so I asked for half the amount. I ate it with a hot spring egg, enjoyed the bonito sashimi, tataki, and rice. My craving for fish was satisfied at Hanatare during my lunch break!

There is a farewell party, so I chose this place on Tabelog near Tokyo Station. There are plenty of restaurants around, but I prioritized a place with a good balance of drinks and food, with a must-have being a delicious brand of sake. We started with bottled beer to quench our thirst, which was especially refreshing due to the unusually high temperature. The dishes were quite generous, which might be a bit challenging for a group of five older gentlemen. The sashimi and simmered fish were delicious and everyone seemed satisfied. They served a large amount of food in the first half to create a feeling of fullness, which I didn't mind. I declared that I would finish all the sake, so we ordered two bottles each and managed to finish them all. I am completely drunk now. Everyone is heading back to Nagoya, so I don't think there will be a second party, but I drank too much. Thank you for the meal. I wonder if everyone will be able to wake up without a hangover. I barely managed to wake up safely.

It's been a while since I had lunch at Hanatare. I visited after 1 pm and noticed that the place was quite crowded, probably due to the increasing number of people coming in for lunch from work. The recommended set meal was sold out, which was disappointing as I really wanted to try the grilled mackerel with rice bran or the fried oysters. Spring mackerel fry set meal sounded really tempting, especially since they serve three pieces. I had to resist the temptation as I tend to overindulge in sweets. Instead, I opted for the healthy option of the assorted seven kinds of local fish sashimi set meal, with a request for less rice. The soft-boiled egg was a nice addition. Even though I had to resist the urge to have the mackerel fry, the sashimi was delicious. Hanatare always delivers a stable and satisfying fish lunch in the Marunouchi area. I couldn't resist my craving for fried fish, so I had fried horse mackerel for lunch on this Saturday afternoon. I heated it up in my home fish grill for a crispy and fluffy texture. I made tartar sauce, but my husband ended up using all of it for the fried fish and minced cutlet, which he devoured. Oh, fried fish, it's so delicious. Fried fish is a double-edged sword, high in calories but so tasty.

I visited with all-you-can-drink option. The all-you-can-drink is bottled beer. It's reliably delicious and I'm happy. Sapporo's Red Star! It's not easy to find, so I'm grateful. The sashimi platter has plenty for the number of people. We ordered firefly squid shabu-shabu as it's in season! It was delicious~

On this day, I left work late and had lunch after 1 pm. My total cholesterol and bad cholesterol levels were significantly over the limit, so I decided to go for a Japanese meal. The first restaurant I went to was crowded, so I went to a place known for bonito sashimi. To my surprise, it was closed! I should have just gone to the first place. I hurried to Hanatare, where I had their recommended set meal. The mackerel sashimi was big and fatty, and the meal also included onsen tamago and mentaiko. Even though I tend to overindulge in sweets rather than meals, I managed to finish everything except for a little bit of the mentaiko. The rice portion was quite large, but the mackerel sashimi, sashimi, onsen tamago, and others were so delicious that I couldn't resist. Hanatare's lunch never disappoints! It was the day before a holiday, and I was exhausted from work. I had a tough time on Monday and Tuesday, so I ended up eating two parfaits at Sushiro on my way home from overtime. I just can't resist sweets anymore. My self-control is completely gone.

The popular fish restaurant near my house is always so crowded that it's hard to eat in. Their fish burger for takeout keeps getting more expensive, now at 500 yen, which seems a bit too much. Recently, I found satisfaction at Hanatare, a place that serves delicious fish dishes. Despite having to eat alone due to work reasons, the lunch set was amazing with grilled horse mackerel, fried oysters, and assorted sashimi. The volume was great, and I finished every grain of rice. Even after eating a lot during overtime, I found myself at a sushi restaurant for some sweets. It's a constant contradiction, but I can't seem to lose weight despite walking over 10,000 steps every morning. Now on the train back home, feeling lazy about taking a bath. I wish I had a partner who could help with housework and comfort me, as I am always lost in my fantasies.

I visited before noon and there was no wait. I had a sashimi set meal with 7 types of local fish. It came with oyster fry, soba noodles, and other side dishes for around 1,000 yen, which is quite reasonable. It's great to be able to enjoy this much sashimi for lunch at this price.

I've been thinking lately that fried food is so delicious. I love eating fried food. My husband is a fried food lover, and I've been brainwashed by him. I have a sweet tooth, so I used to eat sweets endlessly, and now I'm in love with fried food. If I continue like this, I might end up like Matsuko-sama. I do unnecessary walking, unnecessary muscle training, and unnecessary stretching every day. But if I neglect them, things could get worse. On Monday, my favorite restaurant, Antibe, was closed, so I went to Nanatare for lunch. I couldn't resist ordering the recommended set meal with real fried horse mackerel and fried oysters. The freshly fried horse mackerel and oysters were so delicious, but high in calories. I love fried seafood. Oh, high-calorie food is so tasty. It was a delicious high-calorie lunch. I kept saying "Damn it!" in my mind about 156 times that day. Maybe I said it out loud about 31 times.

I had the limited Kinmedai lunch! If you want to have a fish lunch in Marunouchi, this is one of the recommended restaurants. The set meal includes a main dish (usually grilled or simmered fish) with sashimi for 1,100 yen. The fish served is always delicious, no matter what kind it is. The limited Kinmedai is a bit more expensive at 1,980 yen, but you get a decently sized simmered Kinmedai that is very satisfying. In addition to sashimi, the meal also comes with side dishes like cold tofu and a small serving of soba noodles, so it's quite filling. It's really great to be able to enjoy delicious fish with good value for money in this area.

My favorite fish lunch is the "hanatare" at Parkville's second-floor Italian restaurant "Antibe." Normally I go to either Antibe or Hanatare, but since Antibe was closed for the three-day weekend, I went to Hanatare. It was past 1 pm. The usual sashimi platter set was sold out. The recommended set meal includes fried food, simmered or grilled fish, sashimi, and it's very satisfying, but miraculously there were still some sashimi platters left, so I ordered it! However, the rice wasn't enough. The sashimi was delicious, but it got a bit soggy at the end because of the moisture. I was glad to finally eat the sashimi platter I've been wanting to try! But, I still think the recommended set meal is the best. The freshly fried fish fry is really delicious.

Just before starting work from home... I had to go for a walk from 4 am because it's so hot I feel like I'll die. I walked, but I'm already tired... My body and mind feel fatigued... Even the smallest things... Ah, I want to win the Summer Jumbo lottery! I haven't bought a ticket yet, but I always dream of becoming a billionaire with just three tickets. I always fantasize until the day of the results, and then get disappointed (°∀°). Now, for lunch on office days, if it's Japanese food, it's Hanatare. I love Hanatare lunches. The recommended set meal has sashimi, grilled dishes, and fried dishes, so you can enjoy various types of fish. On this day, it seems the hot spring egg was sold out, so for some reason, it became a boiled egg (°∀°). Huh? Did the planned hot spring egg turn into a boiled egg by mistake? Oh well, whatever. There are also various eel menu items. If it's from China, it's affordable, even though it's eel. For Japanese food lunch, it's definitely Hanatare. I had a small portion of rice and finished it cleanly! Even though my mind and body are fatigued, my stomach is full of energy! But, I feel like I want to disappear. I want to stay at home. No, staying at home isn't good either... I want to go somewhere far away, look at the sea, see the greenery on the mountains, oh, eat delicious food, and just space out without thinking about anything (except eating).

If you're looking for a Japanese lunch in Marunouchi, Hanatare is my favorite within lunch hours. I can only go during my lunch break starting from 1 pm. I can't make it there by 12 pm. So, the assorted sashimi set lunch is always out of the question. I'll go for the recommended daily special set instead. I really want to try the assorted sashimi set someday. The fried horse mackerel is so delicious. But I'm a bit concerned about the oil if it's a horse mackerel fry set, even though I keep eating sweet things endlessly. I also want to try the "Japanese lunch with fried food" option. I want to have boiled or grilled fish, sashimi, and even egg over rice with onsen tamago. There's also a bit of soba available. In short, I want to try a variety of dishes for a Japanese lunch, and Hanatare's recommended lunch set is packed with that dream. The food was delicious as always on this day. I thought I would be full and unable to move, but I managed to finish it all with ease! The company will soon arrive at Tokyo Station... Oh, I already want to go home.
