It was located right across from the entrance on the Hokusai Street side of Alkakit, just a stone's throw away from the station. I had been shopping at Alkakit without eating lunch, so by early evening, I started to feel hungry... I searched for a place that was open and found this place, which was open from 4:30 pm. It was on the second floor of a building, and when you went up the spacious staircase, the restaurant was on the left. The interior had an open kitchen, a counter, semi-private seating, and what seemed like private rooms at the back. And most importantly, the interior was extremely clean and had a modern feel. Since there were two of us, we sat at the counter. The counter even had LED tape lights, making it stylish and well-lit!! ✔︎ Rich miso stew ¥490 ✔︎ Assorted pickles ¥450 ✔︎ Salmon and avocado with wasabi soy sauce dressing ¥490 ✔︎ Cold sesame miso chicken breast ¥550 ✔︎ Grilled chicken skewer (1 piece) ¥99 I had high expectations from the appetizers, but the presentation was amazing. The pickles were beautifully arranged, with the cucumber peeled! Each dish had a touch of elegance, and it seemed like they even thought about the plates to match the food. This lemon sour was something I often see in various restaurants, but it was the first time they served it with a lemon wedge. I prefer lemon sours with lemon wedges! I really loved the hospitality they provided, paying attention to every detail. And of course, not only were the dishes visually appealing, but they were also delicious, making it a great value for money. Despite the affordable prices, the quality of the food was so high that I will definitely come back again. The open kitchen also gives a sense of security. Even though it was just past 5 pm, several groups of customers started coming in, indicating its popularity. So, it's probably best to make a reservation if you plan to visit during peak hours!

Located just a short walk from Kinshicho Station North Exit, this shop caught my attention as it is open even on Sundays. I was pleasantly surprised by the incredibly reasonable prices on the menu, especially with the limited-time offer of yakitori for only ¥99! From the popular menu BEST 10, I ordered the "Assorted Sashimi Plate for ¥790," a must-have for sake lovers. The "Homemade Iron Bar Dumplings for ¥390" were filled with generous portions and juicy. Choosing from the BEST 10 menu is definitely a safe bet. And of course, I couldn't forget the yakitori. The addition of vegetables was a nice touch, and they were perfectly seasoned to complement any drink. I ordered a variety of yakitori for ¥99 each, including shishito peppers, green onion with meat, gizzards, chicken hearts, and cartilage. The "Assorted Pickles for ¥450" had a satisfying crunch that went well with the meal. Lastly, the "Authentic Drooling Chicken for ¥550" was a refreshing dish with a perfect balance of chicken and flavorful sauce. I ordered a total of 5 dishes, all of which were of high quality and great value for money. I will definitely be returning to this place!

Just a minute's walk from Kinshicho Station North Exit Rotary, there is a yakitori izakaya with yakitori for only 99 yen each, which is incredibly attractive. The interior of the restaurant is very clean, with counter seats and semi-private booth seats available. The semi-private booths have long curtains on the aisle side, so you don't have to worry about people's eyes, making it feel almost like a private room. The appetizers are colorful and impressive, showing attention to detail and raising expectations for the food. The quail eggs simmered in soy sauce are 390 yen, the deep-fried chicken with shiso and ponzu sauce is 650 yen, the shishito peppers are 99 yen, the gizzards are 99 yen, and the rich miso stew is 490 yen. The discounted yakitori is of course a great deal, but the fried chicken is also incredibly cheap for the portion size! The freshly fried crispy chicken is neatly arranged and is more than worth the 650 yen. Everything is beautifully presented and generous. To put it mildly, it's amazing. Good taste, good value for money, good service - I've found the best izakaya!

Located on the second floor of a street in front of the station! Across from a commercial facility, you can find a beautiful shop by going up the stairs in a straight line from the road. I was lucky to get the last seat as I went without a reservation! It was around 6 pm. It's better to make a reservation. It was a counter seat, but not cramped, and I could drink comfortably. ☑︎ Assorted sashimi (3 types) ¥790 ☑︎ Chilled tomato ¥350 ☑︎ Classic potato salad ¥490 ☑︎ Amazing fragrant oil-glazed chicken ¥690 ☑︎ Juicy grilled gyoza on a hot plate (3 pieces) ¥390 All the dishes were too cheap for the quantity and quality!!! And the presentation was beautiful, the chef's aesthetic sense is amazing! Even just a tomato is so stylishly arranged. It's just perfect. The volume of the fragrant oil-glazed chicken is incredible, the seasoning is strong, and the coating is crispy!! It's perfect. I loved it. My friend who I brought along also enjoyed it. I will definitely visit again!!

I visited a new restaurant in Kinshicho that seemed to offer a mix of yakitori and Chinese cuisine. It is likely because the restaurant is run by Chinese people. The prices seem reasonable, but I would like to try it out again sometime. Thank you for the meal.

I met up with a friend I hadn't seen in a long time and we decided to go to an izakaya for the first time in a while. I was surprised by the variety of menu options at the izakaya. It was affordable and got me really excited! We started with a toast of premium malt beer. Beer at home is not bad, but nothing beats draft beer. We ordered octopus sashimi, a treat that my kids usually snatch away from me at home. It was delicious and surprisingly cheap at only 99 yen per skewer. We kept ordering skewers one after another. The skewers were so tasty at such a low price! For dessert, we had addictive chicken wings and finished off with lemon sour and grapefruit sour. The chicken wings were huge! We were seated in a semi-private area with excellent COVID-19 precautions in place. We were able to have a great time without worrying about our surroundings. There were also private rooms in the back. Even the students seemed to be having a blast.

Yes, located in the local area of Kinshicho, near the north exit (where the Skytree is). Just cross the signal at the rotary and walk to the left, it's right there! It's a building on the second floor just before Don Quijote. Kushi Raku? Kushi-ta-no? (That's probably wrong, haha) They have a semi-private room, and the entrance is hidden behind a curtain. The skewers are on a limited-time offer for only 99 yen each! I was curious if they offer takeout, I mean, wouldn't it be nice to take some as souvenirs? Just like the Showa-era salarymen!! And guess what, draft beer is only 299 yen, and you can have as many as you want! Isn't that more cost-effective than getting a drink-all-you-can option? I mean, I saw a wall that said all-you-can-eat and drink for 3000 yen!! That's perfect for students. Adults can just drink a lot! Because, let's face it, beer is the best deal, right? I tried raising a glass by myself! No, I wasn't drinking alone, don't worry. The appetizers were lotus root and white bait, yam and okra with plum dressing, and a chicken and tofu salad. Such a healthy combination! No guilt eating these! The mentaiko cheese tamagoyaki is a must-try for egg lovers like me. I could use a bit more cheese and mentaiko though. The tender pork stew with half-boiled egg was amazing! The pork was soft and flavorful! The beer goes down so smoothly with these dishes. I decided to try all the skewers from end to end! I love quail eggs, so that skewer was a hit for me. Thank you for offering these skewers at 99 yen each! Before I knew it, two hours had flown by. They did mention at the beginning that the seating is for two hours only! It's the season for year-end parties after all. Oh, by the way, from the street in front of Don Quijote, you can see the Skytree quite well.

A year-end party in Kinshicho♪ It's the season for year-end parties, and the service here is amazing with things like "1 skewer of yakitori for 99 yen," "draft beer for 299 yen," and "50% off all individual drinks." The Kinshicho branch of Kushikura is conveniently located near the station, making it a great spot for meeting up. The Google Maps directions were spot on (although I sometimes get lost following Google's directions...). The seating is like semi-private booths with curtains, creating a cozy atmosphere. The table was spacious, allowing us to order plenty of food. The restaurant itself is clean, the menu is extensive, and the overall impression upon sitting down was very positive. We chose a few recommended dishes, drank and chatted away for hours. It was so much fun! I didn't confirm if they offer all-you-can-drink, but as I mentioned earlier, the drinks are so cheap! Ordering individual drinks was no problem at all, and the drink menu was extensive. The skewers were not only affordable but also delicious. The actual dishes looked even better than the menu photos! The regular menu also had unique items and everything was reasonably priced. The plates and presentation were stylish as well. The table has a 2-hour time limit, so it's a race against time. We ordered what we wanted to eat, drank, and chatted non-stop. This was the liveliest year-end party I've had in a long time. The separate seating areas meant we could enjoy ourselves without being bothered by the noise from other tables. It was a fun and lively atmosphere. We had a great time right up until the end.

Before the alcohol ban due to the state of emergency, I decided to have a light drink with friends. We chose a semi-private room type to feel safe during the pandemic. We started with a toast with Hoppy and draft beer. I love spicy food, so we ordered some drool chicken and my favorite dumplings. The restaurant's specialty is charcoal-grilled skewers with a wide variety of options to choose from. It was convenient to be able to order just one skewer at a time, as we wanted to try a little bit of everything. Everything we tried was delicious, especially the unique kimchi cheese wrapped in meat skewer. The skewers were the highlight of the meal. Lastly, we had the Hong Kong seafood yakisoba with oyster flavor. It was packed with seafood like squid and scallops, along with plenty of vegetables. The portion was generous and the oyster-flavored yakisoba was surprisingly addictive. Overall, every dish we tried was a hit. This restaurant is a gem in the neighborhood. - Hoppy - White wine ¥540 - The Premium Malt's Aromatic Ale ¥450 - Lemon Sour from the specialty sake bar ¥390 - Kakuhai Highball ¥390 - Drool chicken with secret spicy oil ¥590 - Juicy pan-fried dumplings ¥390 - Tsukune (with egg) ¥250 - Shiitake mushrooms ¥130 - Avocado ¥130 - Stuffed bell peppers wrapped in meat ¥250 - Chicken cartilage ¥150 - Bonjiri (chicken tail) ¥150 - Kimchi cheese wrapped in meat ¥250 - Mushroom wrapped in meat ¥250 - Hong Kong seafood yakisoba ¥750

Let's have a drink in front of Kinshicho Station at "Kushiraku Kinshicho Store". Kushiraku is located on the 2nd floor of Arai Building right by the north exit of Kinshicho Station. We were seated in a spacious semi-private room separated by curtains. I started with The Premium Malt's <Fragrant> Ale. There was no cover charge or seating fee, so you can easily enjoy drinks here. Unfortunately, they no longer offer deep-fried skewers, and their food menu is the same as Torikin, which I visited recently. It seems like a chain restaurant. I tried the Spicy Fried Gizzards for 590 yen, which had a great texture with a curry spice flavor. It went well with the beer. I also had the Rich Miso Stew for 490 yen, which had various parts of offal and the crunchy texture of cartilage. Next, I ordered a Highball. I tried the Large Shrimp for 190 yen instead of yakitori, and I enjoyed the option to order single skewers. I also had the Avocado Wrapped in Pork for 250 yen, which had a creamy avocado and pork belly combination. The Stuffed Shiitake Mushroom for 250 yen was flavorful with the umami of the mushroom and meat. I ordered the Tsukune with Raw Egg for 250 yen, and it was delicious with the rich egg yolk. Lastly, I tried the Seoul Makgeolli Glass and the Taiwanese classic dish Braised Pork Rice for 690 yen as a finale. It was spicy and tasty, different from what I expected, but still enjoyable.

I was drawn in by the pork cutlet curry on the storefront sign and decided to try it. The portion size was huge. The rice was large, the curry was plentiful, and the chicken cutlet was big. However, the taste was just average. It had a homemade curry feel to it. Some people may like this kind of curry, but I was hoping for a unique curry that you would find at a skewer izakaya. I left feeling full to the point of discomfort.

Visited the restaurant after booking a 3500 yen course with 2 hours of all-you-can-drink. On weekdays, it's 3 hours of all-you-can-drink. The interior of the restaurant is still new and very clean. The lighting is so bright that it's almost blinding. The semi-private tables are spacious and comfortable. The drink service is surprisingly fast. The course included an assorted salad, simmered pork tripe, sashimi platter, fluffy tofu, 10 pieces of assorted tempura, and the famous kettle rice. We also added on some teppanyaki dumplings, deep-fried river shrimp, and assorted skewers ranging from 160 to 200 yen each. They provided salt, sauce, and dipping broth specifically for the tempura, which was delicious. The tempura had a thin, crispy batter and was served in perfect bite-sized portions. The first dish of wagyu beef tempura was juicy and delicious. The creativity in the menu was evident with dishes like saury and myoga rolls. However, 10 pieces of tempura might not be enough for those with a big appetite, so additional orders may be necessary. The kettle rice at the end was quite filling, so those with smaller appetites may be satisfied without any additional orders.

I went to "Kushiraku," a private room izakaya specializing in deep-fried and grilled skewers, with friends from Koto Ward after an event. We reserved a course with a 3-hour all-you-can-drink option for 3500 yen using a coupon. The location is very convenient, just a 1-minute walk from Kinshicho Station North Exit, so even first-timers can find it easily. It is located on the second floor, up the stairs to the right of a cheap vegetable shop. We had the "Kagero Course" which included a chef's choice salad, oboro tofu, sashimi platter, stewed domestic pork offal, deep-fried angel prawn skewers, deep-fried pork skewers, bacon-wrapped asparagus skewers, half-boiled quail egg skewers, seasonal fish and myoga roll skewers, chicken breast with plum and shiso leaf roll skewers, black wagyu beef skewers, okra and raw ham roll skewers, seared salmon with salmon roe skewers, seasonal vegetable and bacon-wrapped skewers, the famous kamameshi rice, and today's dessert. We were impressed that we could enjoy a fragrant ale with this price range all-you-can-drink option. The skewers were served in two rounds, each with three different kinds, to ensure they stayed hot. The skewers came with three dipping sauces: homemade sauce, dashi broth, and Andes rock salt. The dashi broth had a gentle flavor that complemented the seafood and vegetables well. The skewers were not too large, making them easy to eat even for those with small mouths. The staff's hospitality was evident throughout the meal, and the atmosphere was comfortable. I recommend making a reservation before visiting, as the restaurant was full when we arrived. Overall, Kushiraku is a great choice for a meal in Kinshicho.

This is a restaurant located on the second floor of a building along Hokusai Street in front of the north exit of Kinshicho Station on the Sobu Line, where you can get a beautiful view of Tokyo Skytree. I visited this restaurant for dinner after watching a movie. The interior of the restaurant has a Japanese atmosphere, with semi-private rooms and counter seats that are convenient for small groups, and there are also private rooms where you can take off your shoes. The appetizer was a generous simple salad with Japanese dressing. There were rice crackers and chopped seaweed on the table, so I recommend topping the salad with them for an upgraded taste! We ordered mainly from the daily recommendations and other items that caught our eye. First, we tried the minced eggplant kushikatsu and winter melon with yuzu miso, among others, so there was a variety of creative dishes to enjoy. One of the unique features of this restaurant is dipping the kushikatsu in a Japanese-style broth, which has a thick texture and goes especially well with seafood and vegetable skewers. Of course, since the kushikatsu is freshly fried and piping hot, be careful not to burn yourself when taking a bite (lol). The juicy black wagyu beef and Iyo pork, as well as the asparagus wrapped in meat, lotus root stuffed with shrimp paste, and tomato wrapped in meat were all delicious. The crab claw and soft-boiled quail eggs were also tasty! The kushiyaki included bacon-wrapped young corn, minced shiitake mushrooms, wasabi-flavored chicken tenderloin with seared salmon and salmon roe, and each skewer was a size that even women could easily eat, so if you want to try a variety of items with two people, it's best to order one skewer each. If you're a big eater, it might be a good idea to order the number of skewers based on the number of people dining! The angel prawn with miso was delicious whether fried or grilled, with a lingering taste. The kamameshi (rice cooked in an iron pot) can be enjoyed freshly cooked at the table! I chose the sea bream kamameshi, which had simple ingredients but the burdock root was a standout. After enjoying the crispy rice, you can further enjoy it with the "soup" - it's delicious twice in one bite! With condiments included, you can enjoy it three or four times. (I think the seaweed and rice cracker toppings on the salad were meant for this w) There are also side dishes such as sashimi and pickles, so we were able to enjoy drinking until the end without getting bored. I think this restaurant is suitable for both drinking and dining. Thank you for the meal!!

Ank☆ went to see an event at Kinshi Park and on the way back, she had a meal at "Kushiraku Kinshicho Store" before heading home. The restaurant was conveniently located just 2-3 minutes walk from JR Kinshicho Station, making it easy to access from the station. While strolling around the station, she noticed a sign that said "Grand Opening Thanksgiving Festival" and couldn't resist going in (lol). It seemed like the restaurant had not been open for long, as the interior was very clean and nice. They had private rooms available, and Ank☆ decided to dine in one of them. The room was spacious and allowed her to relax and enjoy her meal. She started off with a toast of "Cassis Orange" for 450 yen. The restaurant had a wide variety of cocktails, making it a good choice for a girls' night out. The appetizer was a salad, which had a generous portion. The "Wagyu Tataki" for 850 yen was fresh and delicious, with a luxurious taste. The tempura skewers had a variety of options, so she decided to try one of each. The skewers were crispy and delicious, and the restaurant changes the oil daily to ensure freshness. Each skewer came with a recommendation on what sauce to pair it with, making the dining experience even better. The "Potato Fry" for 380 yen was hot and crispy, and she couldn't stop eating them. The grilled skewers with seafood were also delightful, especially the large prawns. The "Seafood Kamameshi" for 2 people at 550 yen each was simple but comforting. For dessert, she tried the "Chocolate Cookie" and "Baumkuchen" for 120 yen each, as well as the "Seasonal Sherbet" for 350 yen and "Vanilla Ice Cream with Black Honey" for 350 yen. The desserts were delicious and beautifully presented. She left feeling satisfied and mentioned that she would like to visit again when in Kinshicho.

I met up with a local friend for dinner at a restaurant they had made a reservation at! Since my friend is from Edogawa-ku, we used to often go drinking in Kinshicho. When asked what kind of restaurant I preferred, I simply said a place with a nice interior! The restaurant is located about a 1-minute walk from Kinshicho Station, so the location is quite convenient. The restaurant just opened in April, and the interior is incredibly clean and filled with a sense of cleanliness! I love the counter kitchen, where you can see the chefs preparing the food, making it reassuring to dine there! The atmosphere in the restaurant is truly that of a new establishment. The cleanliness is evident! Apart from the counter seats, there are private rooms available, suitable for casual dining, dates, and business meetings. Now, let's get to the ordering. - Kagerou Course at Kushikura for 3,500 yen (includes 3-hour all-you-can-drink) - I must say upfront, the cost-performance ratio is amazing! - Since it's all-you-can-drink beer, I indulged to my heart's content. The beer was ice-cold and excellent! - The chef's choice salad appetizer was served first, which is the restaurant's specialty. It was a salad with a Japanese-style dressing. - The domestic pork intestines simmered in white broth were light and delicious, with tender intestines in a clear soup. It was undeniably tasty. - The sashimi platter included tuna, salmon, and sea bream, all fresh, well-presented, and with a good amount of fat, making them delicious! - The Oboro tofu, with a soy milk-based broth and tofu topped with sweet red bean paste, was visually appealing and a healthy dish. - The skewers and grilled chicken included: Black Wagyu beef skewer Okra wrapped in prosciutto skewer Salmon seared with salmon roe skewer Vegetable bacon-wrapped skewer Angel prawn skewer Three-element pork skewer Asparagus wrapped in meat skewer Soft-boiled quail egg skewer Sawara mackerel with myoga skewer Chicken tenderloin with plum and shiso leaf skewer The lineup was like this. The skewers were enjoyed with rock salt, sauce, and broth, and the staff would recommend which sauce to pair with each skewer, providing excellent service! Everything was surprisingly delicious! Eating the skewers with broth was a first for me, and it was the best combination of flavors I've ever had with skewers. I was extremely satisfied! - The specialty kama-meshi (hot pot rice) was perfect for finishing the meal. It's piping hot and perfect for the end of the meal. You can enjoy it as is, or pour hot broth over it to make ochazuke. It's great to be able to enjoy two different ways in one dish! - For dessert, we had sherbet and cake. A refreshing way to end the meal! Usually, I tend to order a la carte, but if course meals offer good value and delicious food like this, it's definitely worth it! The combination of all-you-can-drink and this volume at this price is honestly surprising! I will definitely visit this restaurant again! Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I took my foreign friends to this place. We were able to relax in a semi-private room and ordered a course meal for 3000 yen per person, which also included all-you-can-drink option. The food had good taste and portion size. In addition to the course, we also ordered some dishes from the Best 10 menu, and all of them were delicious! The seating area was a bit worn out, so the atmosphere was okay, but overall, it is recommended for those who want to eat and drink well at a good cost performance.

We used this restaurant for a small year-end party with 4 people. It was 2 hours all-you-can-drink for 1650 yen, and each person had to order at least 2 items. The speed of service and the taste of the food were all excellent, and we would definitely like to use this restaurant again. My boss who came with me was also satisfied and said he would like to come back again! Despite the restaurant being quite busy, we were surprised by how quickly the food was served. We will definitely come back.

I had the Oil-Drizzled Chicken Set Meal for 750 yen. It comes with rice, miso soup, simmered tripe, and iced coffee. The taste is okay, but considering the portion size, I think it's a good deal at this place. I wonder how it is in the evening.

This is a second party. Completely private room with curtains. ( ‘-^ )b ===========

The fried food is not cooked right in front of you but brought to you already fried, so you can't eat a lot, but it was quite delicious.
