I drank at the restaurant "Hinata Shimbashi" located at 1-17-12 Nishi-Shimbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo. I think I had grilled chicken thighs or breasts. There was no course menu, so the menu names are approximate. The charcoal aroma was great. On this day, the course was 2 hours of all-you-can-drink for 5,500 yen per person. They also have various a la carte menu items. They seem to offer lunch as well. The all-you-can-drink menu included beer (Premium Malt's), highball, sour, shochu, plum wine, and soft drinks. Sake was available for an additional charge. Here are the items I had: - Draft beer, Premium Malt's - Sesame cucumber appetizer - Assorted chicken sashimi - Hinata salad - Lemon sour - Chicken Nanban - Grilled chicken gizzards with salt and yuzu pepper - Fried chicken skin That's all. I enjoyed the local chicken and drinks. Thank you for the meal.

I went to a restaurant in Shinbashi that serves only Chicken Nanban for lunch! I love Chicken Nanban so much (*^_^*) There is no lunch that can beat Chicken Nanban (⌒▽⌒) The portion was amazing, and the seasoning was just how I like it, with the Nanban flavor (⌒▽⌒) It was incredibly delicious! The rice kept disappearing quickly (⌒▽⌒) I had to wait a bit for a rice refill as they had to cook more! I felt so happy (╹◡╹) I will definitely go again!!

I used it for a weekday lunch. The clientele is mainly salarymen, and I entered a little after 1 pm and it was almost full. As for the food, the portions are large. There were four big pieces. However, the chicken breast was tough and difficult to eat. I like tartar sauce, but it was nothing special in terms of taste. This restaurant didn't really fit my preference as I value quality over quantity.

I discovered this restaurant near Toranomon on my first visit, and it was like finding a hidden gem. They only offer one lunch menu, the Chicken Nanban set (900 yen). You can get free refills of rice. Each piece of the Chicken Nanban is huge, and there are 4.5 pieces, so it's very filling. The seasoning had a slightly ethnic vibe to it. For 900 yen, you'll definitely leave satisfied.

Recently, I invited a colleague who just had a baby out for drinks, but he mentioned that his wife would get angry if he went out before dinner was ready, yet he secretly came along with me. Apparently, he also helps with changing diapers and feeding the baby at home. Speaking of which, baby milk powder can be stored for a long time before use. Speaking of storage, the topic of differences between men and women in saving past romantic memories comes up. Men tend to categorize and save them in folders by name, while women seem to use a different method. Today's lunch was the Chicken Nanban set menu, which I noticed had the price increased from 770 yen to 900 yen. The menu only offers one option, so you just sit and wait. After about 10 minutes, a plate with four large pieces of crispy chicken is served. The chicken, made with breast meat, has a refreshing taste. It goes well with the sweet and sour sauce and creamy tartar sauce. There's plenty of cabbage, which helps reset your palate after eating the meat. Rice refills are free, and while others around me got refills, I was satisfied with just one serving. It's rare to find a lunch under 1000 yen these days, so this restaurant experience is a valuable memory that I would like to save in a separate folder under a different name.

Category: [Tokyo] Izakaya Today, I had a drinking meeting for work. I went to Hinata Shinbashi (Hyuuga). - Tori sashimi three kinds assortment: 1700 yen - Hinata salad: 650 yen We were talking about Miyazaki, so it was a lively atmosphere! The dishes are carefully made and delicious. - Tori motsuni (giblets stew): 780 yen The different parts are fresh with a strong flavor. - Yagen shioyaki (grilled chicken with salt): 800 yen The chicken has a good texture and strong taste. - Oyadori (parent bird): 1420 yen Many people love parent birds. You can try it here! Lately, I haven't had many opportunities to drink in Shibuya or eat out. I was able to have a meal at Tenjin Shinbashi. There was a long line! Shinbashi has a strong culture of men going out for drinks after work, which I envy. I ended up getting drunk two days in a row.

Bone-in charcoal-grilled chicken at Hinata @ Shinbashi, Chicken Nanban set meal for ¥900 (free rice refill). It's hard to convey the size, but it comes on a stainless steel plate, a large 35cm dish. Four huge chicken breast pieces with plenty of sweet vinegar sauce and tartar sauce. It's a generous portion and the chicken is cooked perfectly. The balance of sweetness and acidity has improved since before. However, the strong flavor of the tartar sauce makes it hard to stop eating rice... Luckily, rice refills are free, so I didn't hold back. My stomach is full. Thank you for the meal. #Shinbashi #ShinbashiLunch #Bone-inCharcoalGrilledChickenHinata #ChickenNanban #TartarSauce #FreshlyCookedRice

I visited Hinata Shinbashi store after reading Mairebi-san's post, which has great cost performance and generous portions. I was the first customer to arrive, and for lunch, I ordered the Chicken Nanban set meal for 800 yen. Even without ordering, the Chicken Nanban automatically arrives at your table. Following the reviewer's recommendation, I asked for no sesame dressing on the cabbage. On a stainless steel plate, there were four large chicken breast pieces marinated in sweet vinegar and topped with plenty of tartar sauce. The chicken breast meat, which tends to be dry, was fried to perfection, juicy enough to release meat juices. Mixing the sweet vinegar and tartar sauce, it went well with the rice, and I asked for a free refill of rice. With the tartar cabbage on the side, miso soup, and pickles for a break, I enjoyed a satisfying and delicious meal until I was full.

I visited for the first time in 7 years since I hadn't reviewed it. The lunch menu is still limited to the Chicken Nanban set. The fact that the price has been kept down with just a 50 yen increase since then is quite an achievement in management. It may look a bit cheap now that it's served on a silver plate, but the Chicken Nanban is generous in portion size. You can also get a refill of rice if you need more, and the taste is decent, so I think the cost performance is good. Chicken Nanban set for 800 yen.

Chicken Nanban Set Meal ¥800 There was no line, which was unusual, so I decided to enter. The place was full with just me. They only serve the "Chicken Nanban Set Meal" here, so I didn't have to place an order and waited for about 10 minutes. I was served rice and miso soup, followed by Chicken Nanban. It's hard to tell the volume of the chicken in the photo, but you get four pieces of crispy fried chicken breast, served with sweet vinegar and rich tartar sauce. The Chicken Nanban Set Meal, with free rice refills, is a hearty lunch that will make you gain weight. The overwhelming volume, along with the perfectly cooked moist chicken, was impressive. The rice is always freshly cooked and delicious. I can't help but wonder if they are making a profit at this price. Thank you for the meal. #ShinbashiLunch #ChickenNanban #TartarSauce #FreshlyCookedRice

Lunch is a one-on-one battle with just Chicken Nanban. The volume of this Chicken Nanban is no joke. It's a popular restaurant for filling the bellies of food lovers at lunch. When I arrived in the early afternoon, there was only one person in line. I was quickly seated and shared a table for four in a private room. Since there is only one item on the menu, there is no need to order. It will be automatically served if you wait. - Chicken Nanban Set Meal 800 yen (tax included) - Rice refill is free The Chicken Nanban arrived. It was served on a large oval stainless steel plate, with half of it being shredded cabbage and the other half being Chicken Nanban topped with plenty of tartar sauce. First, I started with the cabbage. The sweet and savory sauce of the Chicken Nanban served as a dressing, allowing me to eat a lot of cabbage. Then, the Chicken Nanban. There were four large fist-sized pieces. When I picked one up with chopsticks, it felt heavy. I tried stacking them on top of rice. After stacking three pieces, it was already a mountain. I couldn't stack the fourth piece. So, I put two back on the plate and took a bite of the first piece. The crispy coating and moist chicken breast meat were a perfect combination of sweet and savory sauce and creamy tartar sauce. This made me crave more rice. After eating three pieces, I was quite full. The fourth piece was sprinkled generously with pepper from the pepper mill, which made it even more delicious. Despite the volume, the chicken breast meat was not too heavy, and surprisingly, I managed to finish it. I also enjoyed the pickled cucumbers with rice and finished the meal. It seems that the price has increased from 700 yen to 800 yen, but the value for this volume is fantastic. This is a restaurant I want to include in my lunch rotation.

Lunch in the Toranomon area. There were fewer people in the streets that day, so I decided to try this place where there was no line outside. I noticed that the restaurant, which looked quite big from the outside, was actually not that spacious inside. It seemed larger because it was connected to the neighboring building. The interior had a traditional izakaya atmosphere with small tables for two or four people. There were about 10 customers in front of me and 10 behind me. The lunch menu only had Chicken Nanban. It was served in less than 5 minutes, but the order for the customers behind me took more than 5 minutes, making me think they might have prepared some dishes in advance. The dish consisted of 5-6 large pieces of fried chicken, each taking up about half a rice bowl. The chicken breast was not too moist, but the generous tartar sauce with a hint of basil added some unique flavor. The miso soup and pickles on the table were a nice palate cleanser. I felt like getting a refill of miso soup. You could also have unlimited rice refills, so it was a satisfying and energizing lunch experience. (September 2022)

"Hinata" serves Chicken Nanban for ¥800. The menu only includes Chicken Nanban, but you can ask for extra rice, which is recommended as the portion is quite big. The dish consists of four large pieces of chicken breast with a perfect cooking texture - moist and tender. It is generously topped with sweet vinegar and creamy tartar sauce, making it a flavorful meal that goes well with freshly cooked rice. The large portion of rice is quite filling, so you may want to start with a regular portion and ask for more if needed. Overall, it was a satisfying meal. #ShinbashiLunch #ChickenNanban #TartarSauce #FreshlyCookedRice

Miyazaki Jitokko restaurant "Hinata". Sometimes I crave their Chicken Nanban. The lunch menu consists of only Chicken Nanban set for ¥800, with unlimited rice refills, perfect for a hearty lunch. The dish includes four large pieces of chicken breast, topped with a slightly sweet vinegar and egg flavored tartar sauce. The local specialty dish turns the mild chicken breast into a sweet and savory treat that goes great with the freshly cooked rice. The generous portion of rice in a decent-sized bowl adds to the satisfaction of the meal. Of course, I had seconds and left feeling completely satisfied with the lunch.

"Hinata" in Nishi-Shimbashi is a restaurant that serves Miyazaki Jitokko (local chicken) dishes. I visited after a long time. The lunch menu offers only Chicken Nanban set for ¥800 with rice, and you can have seconds of rice and miso soup. The plates used to be ceramic, but now they are stainless steel, giving a slightly cheap appearance. The chicken breast pieces are large, four in total, and still very generous in portion. The chicken is cooked just right, moist and tender. The rice is freshly cooked, and the miso soup with seaweed has a rich flavor. With this volume and quality for ¥800, the cost performance is excellent."

One day, the fish lunch place I wanted to go to had a long line. Running out of time, I decided to dive into a place that seemed to specialize in a single dish - Chicken Nanban set meal for 800 yen. The portion looked quite generous with 4-5 large pieces of chicken. Taking a bite, I realized it was breast meat. It could have been cooked a bit more towards the center. The chicken itself lacked flavor, and the balance of the batter and sweet vinegar was quite off. Honestly, after eating just one piece, I got bored, the second piece felt like a struggle, and I gave up halfway through the third piece, leaving almost half uneaten. It's probably the first time in my life that I've left food uneaten. Another unexpected disappointment in the lunch options around Toranomon and Shinbashi, following a recent curry experience. With just one item on the menu, I was surprised by the low rating of 3.54 when I checked later on Tabelog. Well, maybe it's just my unsophisticated taste buds...

Yesterday's lunch was at a place called "Hinata," located between Toranomon and Shinbashi (photo 1). It seems to be a Miyazaki cuisine restaurant (more like an izakaya), offering lunch during the day. We arrived around 1 pm. Perhaps because it was past the usual lunch hour, the place was empty. We were seated and immediately asked, "Would you like the Chicken Nanban set?" It seems they only serve Chicken Nanban (priced at ¥800). We agreed, and in about 3 minutes, it was served (photo 2). The huge chicken came with tartar sauce, and there were two big pieces. Along with rice, it filled us up. It kept us full until late afternoon. Two salarymen came in while we were eating. It seems like a popular spot for those who like chicken karaage (though that's not my preference). It's a good place for those who enjoy fried chicken dishes. There was a pitcher of cold barley tea on the table for refills, which was appreciated. The restaurant was spacious, slightly dim, and a comfortable place to dine.

Uchisaiwai-cho / Kasumigaseki Lunch. You can enjoy a hearty Chicken Nanban for 800 yen including tax. I decided to try it out after reading some good reviews. When I arrived at the restaurant, it was full and there was a group of women waiting outside. This area has many people working, but there are also many dining options, so it's rare to see a line (probably due to the influence of COVID). Since there is only Chicken Nanban for lunch, I predicted that the turnover would be good and joined the line. After about 10 minutes, I entered the restaurant and sat at a table close to the kitchen with 2 seats. The interior of the restaurant is more like an izakaya or drinking establishment. It's not a private room, but the seating is divided into small groups, so it's quite cozy. As soon as I entered, I was told "Only Chicken Nanban" and true to that, the Chicken Nanban set arrived without taking our order. I think it only took about 5 minutes. They seem to be making it quickly, so the wait is not long. The large pieces of chicken, which are bigger than regular fried chicken, are made with breast meat and are light. After being soaked in sweet vinegar, they are topped with tartar sauce, making it a genuine Chicken Nanban. The side dishes include cabbage salad, rice, miso soup, and the all-you-can-eat Kyuchan on the table. The cabbage already has dressing on it. The dressing and the flavorful chicken go well with the rice. You can get a refill, but it might be better to get a large portion from the start. Even if your side dishes run out, you can eat with Kyuchan. However, the volume of chicken is really generous. There are quite a few female customers, and I wonder if everyone finishes their meal without leaving any leftovers. It would be nice to have a smaller menu option with only 3 pieces of fried chicken. It can be a hassle to discount the bill, so having a small side dish included might be a good idea. But that might be a hassle too. In any case, I was very satisfied with the Chicken Nanban set at this price in this location, and the line was worth it. If I have the chance, I would like to eat it again. By the way, when it comes to Chicken Nanban, I was impressed when I had a 1300 yen set at Miyazaki-kan in Shinjuku in the summer. That was a "special occasion Chicken Nanban set" with many side dishes, while this one is a simple and affordable "everyday Chicken Nanban set." The waitress was a foreign woman who was working alone, doing everything from serving to cleaning up and billing, and she was working very hard, which made me want to support her.

I was transferred from Osaka to Tokyo, and I happened to visit a restaurant near my company, which turned out to be incredibly delicious. My parents are from Miyazaki Prefecture, so I used to eat Chicken Nanban often, but this one tasted just like the authentic Chicken Nanban from Miyazaki. It's a perfect combination of sweet vinegar and tartar sauce. However, the most impressive part was the miso soup. It was extremely delicious. I was debating whether to get a second serving. The person next to me ended up getting a refill. I was so lucky to stumble upon such delicious Chicken Nanban.

I went before 1 pm for lunch. It was not crowded and I was seated right away. The lunch menu only had Chicken Nanban. After waiting for about 5 minutes, a very large and piping hot Chicken Nanban arrived! It came with miso soup and rice. I took a big bite of the piping hot Chicken Nanban, which was crispy and juicy. It was very delicious. The tartar sauce was also very tasty and satisfying. It seems to be popular among office workers due to its generous portion. At 800 yen, it offers great value in the Toranomon area. I would like to visit this restaurant again. I'm curious to try it for dinner as well.

At a Miyazaki cuisine restaurant located in a second alley in Nishi-Shimbashi, across from Hibiya Street from Uchisaiwaicho Street in Shimbashi, there were a few empty tables available for solo diners to share. The lunch menu only offered the Chicken Nanban set, which included a small portion of rice and miso soup that could be refilled in just 2 minutes. The dish arrived quickly, featuring four large pieces of chicken breast with plenty of tartar sauce. The cabbage salad was also delicious, with a hint of sesame oil. Despite not needing a refill, the meal left a satisfying feeling with a quick 10-minute dining experience. The bill came to 800 yen.
