I visited "Hanamidori" located a short walk from Ginza-itchome Station on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line. It is on the 7th floor of the Belvia Building, which houses various delicious dining options. Hanamidori offers three courses: "Kinshu Course," "Hana Course," and "Aji Course," as well as a la carte options. This time, I tried the "Hana Course," which includes two small dishes, a platter of three appetizers, Hanamidori raw ham and chicken sashimi, a replacement dish, Hanamidori chicken hot pot, pickles, and dessert. The hot pot comes with bone-in chicken, tsukune (chicken meatballs), sliced chicken, liver, and a vegetable platter, with a choice of egg porridge or champon noodles for the finishing touch. The small dishes and appetizers feature plenty of vegetables, making it quite healthy. The Hanamidori raw ham and chicken sashimi were excellent. And then, the highlight of the meal arrived – the Hanamidori chicken hot pot! The cloudy, collagen-rich broth was thick and luscious, with bone-in chicken pieces floating inside. The meat was tender and juicy, and the bone-in chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender, truly delicious. The special ponzu sauce complemented it perfectly. The dish was packed with vegetables, making it a delightful treat. I opted for the egg porridge as the finale, savoring every last drop of the soup and finishing all the Hanamidori chicken. After enjoying dessert, I left feeling fully satisfied. It was a delicious experience! Thank you for the meal!

We started our meal with "3 kinds of appetizers". These beautifully presented appetizers were not only pleasing to the eye but also satisfying to the taste buds. Each appetizer was carefully crafted to offer unique flavors and textures. Starting our meal with these appetizers was a delightful beginning to our culinary journey. The highlight of the meal was the "Brown Chicken, Prosciutto, and Tataki Plate". The prosciutto was thinly sliced and incredibly flavorful. The tataki was perfectly seared, enhancing the distinct flavors of each ingredient. It was a fun experience exploring the flavors of Japan. Next, the "Interim Bowl" provided a refreshing break between dishes. Its light flavors prepared our taste buds for the main course. The "Hanami Chicken Hot Pot" was a showstopper. The pot was filled with minced, diced, fillet, liver, and a variety of vegetables. The soup was rich and flavorful, bringing a comforting warmth to the ingredients. The choice between rice porridge or champon noodles added an element of customization to the meal, both of which were delicious. The "Mentaiko and Takana" added a spicy kick to the meal. The combination of mentaiko and takana was a burst of flavors that we truly enjoyed. Finally, we indulged in the sweet dessert "Sweetness". The dessert had a perfect balance of flavors and textures, serving as a satisfying end to the meal. Throughout the meal, the service was impeccable. The staff warmly welcomed our group of 6 and efficiently catered to our needs. In conclusion, our dining experience at this Japanese restaurant was truly exceptional. From appetizers to dessert, a variety of dishes showcased the chef's dedication to quality and authenticity. We left full and happy, looking forward to returning.

I used this restaurant for a company drinking party at dinner. We had the 4,800 yen tasting course with all-you-can-drink. The content of this review is as follows: - Two small dishes (lotus root and liver) I'm not a fan of liver, but the liver here had no unique smell or off-flavor and was easy to eat. - Hanaajitori raw ham and tataki platter It was refreshing and delicious when paired with Hanaajitori's original ponzu sauce. It was a gem that went well with alcohol along with the small dishes. - Hanaajitori sukiyaki (assorted cuts, minced meat, thigh, liver and heart, vegetable platter, zosui) First, to enjoy the chicken broth, I only had the soup in a dedicated cup with salt and green onions. The soup alone was delicious. If I had this soup at home, I would definitely mix it with sake (laughs). After enjoying the soup, while eating the assorted cuts, the minced meat, thigh, liver, and heart are simmered. The staff makes the meatballs beautifully round. The meatballs made with nagaimo and eggs are fluffy. After the meat is cooked, progress through the pot with vegetables and zosui. - Mentaiko and takana zosui When the zosui is ready, mentaiko and takana are served as condiments. If you can handle spicy food, eating them together adds a spicy accent and enhances the deliciousness. - Dessert Finally, it ends with a citrus sherbet for a refreshing finish. It was my first visit, and the chicken was tender and very delicious. They had a variety of items that complemented the chicken, including alcohol and condiments, showing their dedication. Since Ginza is far, I plan to try other locations as well.

I found this place while looking for a lunch spot in Ginza on a Sunday. Many of the restaurants in the building were crowded, but this one was not too busy so we were able to get in easily. Lunch in Ginza on a Sunday can easily go over 1500 yen, but here most dishes are in the 1000 yen range with great value for money. The portions are generous and the tempura was delicious.

Located on the 7th floor of Ginza Velvia-kan, this restaurant specializes in Hakata cuisine with a focus on chicken dishes. The seating area offers spacious and semi-private seats, allowing for a comfortable dining experience. I ordered the motsunabe set meal, a classic Hakata dish. In addition to the motsunabe, the meal also included various side dishes such as karaage and potato salad, all of which were delicious. Overall, I was very satisfied with the food and the dining experience.

Ginza Loft's 7th and 6th floors are undergoing renovations, so the escalator is not in use and only the elevator is available, making it inconvenient. I was happy to find a lunch set for one person with Mizutaki (chicken hot pot). The lunchtime lasts until 2:30 pm, with the last order at 2:00 pm. I arrived around 1:45 pm and followed the person in front of me to enter. I was seated at a 4-person table by a staff member in a kimono. There were two 4-person tables with lattice doors, and it seemed like there were more seats in the back and on the side. On the table, there were three barley tea pots and cups. The barley tea was slightly cold. There were three types of Mizutaki available, with two lunch sets. The difference between them was one appetizer, a side dish, and a specialty item. The 600 yen option includes chicken sashimi and chicken loin. Since I didn't feel like eating chicken that day, I chose the more casual option. The meal included two small side dishes, karaage (fried chicken), a small Mizutaki pot, Mizutaki soup, kashiwa rice, pickles, and a sweet treat. The food was served in about 13 minutes, and I was instructed to enjoy it with ponzu sauce. The karaage was large, crispy, and had a garlic flavor. The meat in the Mizutaki was tender and flavorful. The Mizutaki soup was rich and remained so until the end. The mentaiko (spicy cod roe) potato salad was flavorful and slightly spicy. The boiled greens and pickles were also tasty. The ponzu sauce was refreshing, and the yuzu and sansho pepper added a nice kick. The Mizutaki included a large bone-in meat piece, two small thigh pieces, and two small tsukune (chicken meatballs). The soup served on the side was flavorful but light and easy to drink. The cabbage was slightly firm and sweet, while the tofu was hot. The enoki mushrooms were a nice touch. The kashiwa rice had a sweet flavor, but the rice grains were quite broken, which was a bit disappointing. Dessert was a small citrus jelly. The meal was satisfying, and I think a bit more Mizutaki would have been better, but the price was reasonable. The side dishes, karaage, and pickles were all good. The staff had lovely smiles, although the service may have been a bit inconsistent due to being busy. There are several branches in Tokyo, and the Mizutaki lunch set is a good deal. The karaage set seemed popular, and there is also a variety of alcoholic beverages available during lunch. Thank you for the meal.

On July 9, 2023 (Sunday) around noon, I decided to go to Ginza. I turned right at the exit of Higashi-Ginza (where right turns are prohibited) and headed to Mitsui's Marunouchi Building. The parking lot here is also very reasonable, with a daily maximum of 2,000 yen from 9:00 to 23:00. If you show receipts for lunch or shopping, you get a discount of one hour for purchases over 3,000 yen and two hours for purchases over 5,000 yen. Even if you shop at a store that is not eligible for the discount (like Hanamidori), as long as you have a receipt, it's fine. They used to provide hot towels, but not anymore. There are several reasonably priced multi-story parking lots in Ginza, which is very convenient. I arrived at the parking lot shortly after noon and was able to park immediately. I went to Hanamidori on the 7th floor, but it was full, so I had to wait in line at the entrance. After about 20 minutes, I was seated. I ordered the great value Hakata set meal for 1,700 yen. It used to be 1,500 yen, but it's still a great deal! There were many foreign customers, but I'm sure they were satisfied! The bubbling hot pot, chicken meat, and soup were delicious as always! The fried chicken had just the right amount of garlic, and the chicken rice was also very tasty! The small dishes were pickled mustard greens and another dish with a similar flavor, maybe mustard greens with moisture? There was also green onion with yuzu pepper and a bite-sized peach jelly that was delicious! Ponzu sauce and salt were placed on the table. It's amazing that you can have such a delicious hot pot for lunch on weekends at such a reasonable price at Zakkin... I'm so full and happy~ \( *´꒳`*)/ I'll buy some deli dishes and cake at Matsuya for dinner on the way home~ \( *´꒳`*)

[Deluxe Soup Jewelry Pot] Enjoy a blissful moment with exquisite soup. This time, I tried the seasonal limited edition course of "Two-color Shabu-Shabu Jewelry Pot" featuring Hakata local cuisine. [Course Contents] - Two-color Shabu-Shabu Jewelry Pot Taste Course - Two small side dishes (Fukuoka specialty Okui and lotus root with plum crystal) - Ham of Hanaajitori chicken breast and Tataki of thigh - Jewelry Pot (pork belly, pork loin, chicken skirt, chicken tenderloin, tsukune, vegetable assortment, champon noodles) - Takana mentaiko (spicy cod roe) - Dessert (lemon sherbet and collagen plum wine jelly) The hot pot uses the restaurant's original brand chicken "Hanaajitori" for the water-based dish. The collagen-rich soup is used to create a jelly-like water dish that melts in your mouth. You can enjoy both the white water jelly and the red spicy stew jelly at once. The spicy stew is quite hot, so if you like spicy food, it's recommended. The white water jelly, red stew jelly, and black ponzu jelly look like jewels, and when eaten with homemade ponzu jelly, the umami flavor spreads as it melts. They also pay attention to their selection of alcohol. Among them, the fruit sake that feels like eating real fruit is a true delight. What makes it so delightful is the incredible amount of fruit used in each one! The amount of fruit used is equivalent to: - 26 itoromikan - 29 itoroyuzu - 10 itororingo - 8 itoromomo - 7 itororafrance The rare La France fruit choice is delicious with its chunky texture! By the time you leave the restaurant, you might feel like your skin has become plump and glowing... haha Be sure to try the exclusive Jewelry Pot at the Ginza 2-chome store, which you can't experience anywhere else! Items ordered: - Jewelry Pot Course 3300 - Seven Lucky Gods Itororafrance 700 - Seven Lucky Gods Itoromomo 700 Follow my Tokyo gourmet adventures on Instagram!

I had a summer limited edition jewelry hot pot course in a private room. The chicken sashimi served as an appetizer was fresh and delicious!! The alcohol was also delicious and paired perfectly as a snack. The red pot was for spicy hot pot, while the white pot was for clear soup, which melted quickly once heated. The clear soup was mild and tasty. The spicy hot pot had a good kick to it. For the meat selection, there was seseri, harami, tsukune, pork loin, and pork belly, offering a wide variety to enjoy! The chicken meat was so delicious that I wish there was more of it! For dessert, there was lemon sherbet and plum wine jelly, leaving a refreshing taste in the mouth.

- I have visited this restaurant several times, both during the day and at night. This time, I went for lunch. - The fried chicken at this Hakata-style restaurant is my favorite dish because the meat is moist and tender compared to other places. - This time, I ordered the "Oyakare Don" which is a parent and child bowl with curry. The curry, simmered with bone-in chicken, was generously poured over the rice and pickled vegetables, leaving just enough rice to go with it. - The store inside Belvia is a bit narrow with only one aisle, but it is clean. The atmosphere of the staff is more casual compared to the store in the 4th district, perhaps because it is located in a commercial facility.

I ordered a platter of Hachitori raw ham and tataki, rare cartilage fried chicken, and regular fried chicken. The cartilage fried chicken was the most delicious. The chicken soup was rich and full of collagen, making my body feel warm. I plan to revisit this place.

There aren't enough people around to really enjoy chatting. The chicken seems fresh and tastes decent, but the atmosphere is too distracting to fully appreciate it. The cheapest course is quite filling, so I think it's worth it. Overall, the cost performance is poor, won't be coming back, sorry.

When I went to Hakata Hotaru, it was closed, so I decided to try Hakata Hanamidori on the same floor. I intended to have motsunabe hot pot, but I was drawn to the parent and child curry bowl, so I ordered the Oya Curry Set. I poured the Hanamidori curry over the parent and child bowl, topped it with grilled cheese - it was delicious! I also had a little taste of my friend's motsunabe hot pot. The restaurant was full within about 15 minutes of opening, so it seems to be quite popular.

I had the water hot pot set for lunch. It came with water hot pot, kashiwa rice, fried chicken, water hot pot soup, pickled vegetables, side dish, potato salad, and dessert. The water hot pot tastes delicious when eaten with ponzu sauce. Both the kashiwa rice and side dish are also delicious. I had the water hot pot this time, but I also recommend the oyakodon.

A restaurant where you can taste the deliciousness of chicken. The taste is so authentic that it feels like you have been transported to Hakata while in Tokyo. This time, I tried the Hana course. The chicken ham served first will leave you speechless. The hot pot is exceptional, with the rich chicken broth. The meal ends with a delicious porridge, where the contrast between the egg and broth is exquisite.

Had lunch at Hanamidori on the 7th floor of the Ginza Loft building for 1600 yen. Ordered the Hakata Gozen set which came with Mizutaki (chicken hot pot), karaage (fried chicken), side dishes, and dessert. Everything was surprisingly delicious. The karaage was crispy and the chicken in the Mizutaki was flavorful. The ponzu sauce here had a nice tangy kick to it. I was so impressed that I will definitely come back again. It's recommended to go early on weekends or make a reservation as it can get crowded and they might turn you away if it's full. Highly recommended ★★★★★, Taste ★★★★★, Value ★★★★☆, Service ★★★☆☆, Atmosphere ★★★☆☆.

Around 11:45 on a regular day, I was drawn in by the sign for Chicken Nanban at the entrance and decided to stop by. It was my first time visiting, and it seemed like a chain restaurant with a focus on hot pot dishes. The interior was not too crowded, and I felt comfortable with a decent amount of space at each table. There was a pot of warm roasted green tea on the table, which was much appreciated on a cold day. I ordered the Chicken Nanban set meal (1100 yen). I was tempted to upgrade to kashiwa-meshi rice for an additional 100 yen, but I felt like white rice would be a better fit today, so I resisted. It took a moment for the server to come take my order after ringing the bell twice, but the food was served promptly once I placed my order. I was surprised by the number of dishes on the table. Along with the main Chicken Nanban, there was white rice, clear soup, pickled mustard greens, sesame salad, potato salad, hot pot soup, and almond jelly. The Chicken Nanban was freshly made, with a light and crispy batter. The tartar sauce was piled on generously, almost covering the meat completely. It may vary by preference, but I personally liked it this way. The main dish was rich, so the light almond jelly at the end helped to cleanse the palate. I also had another cup of tea before leaving. Being able to try a variety of dishes made me both mentally and physically satisfied! At 1100 yen, it felt like a great value. Next time, I might try the Chicken Nanban set with kashiwa-meshi rice.

This year's homework, Project H this year, a world of self-satisfaction (only those who understand will understand) (^ ^ A shop where members of a certain idol group experienced working in a factory. A chain store where ingredients and soup are made at a central kitchen. In other words, you can eat the flavors of Hakata in Tokyo as they are (^ ^ I wanted to come here because I wasn't satisfied with the specialty one-person hot pot I had in Hakata. Every time I come to Yurakucho, I go to the Ginza Yonchome store, but I always miss the last order (sometimes they start preparing before the L.O time). This time, I arrived in Yurakucho early, so I thought, "I should be okay this time." However, what I noticed after longing for it for a long time on Tabelog was that the "Hakata Gozen" hot pot lunch is 200 yen cheaper at the Ginza Nichome store than at the Ginza Yonchome store (^ ^ If I'm going to eat the same thing, isn't it better to go for the cheaper option? So I came here. The store looks calm, but it's a restaurant floor. Even inside, it feels like a Japanese restaurant. As a COVID-19 measure, they didn't allow the use of window-side long sofa seats, and instead directed the tables towards the wall, creating two-person seats in a row. This doesn't really lift the mood. Many female customers were ordering chicken nanban or oyakodon. I stuck to my original plan and also ordered a beer (^ ^ The "Hakata Gozen" hot pot arrived with a simmering sound. Four small side dishes and kashiwa rice. Starting from the soup of the hot pot... is this how it's supposed to be? The hot pot soup I had in Hakata for the first time was much more delicious. Maybe my memories are affecting my judgment? The question I had when I had a one-person hot pot in Hakata couldn't be dispelled. Do I need a course where a staff member is assigned to me? It seems that each restaurant has its own unique taste, so it can't be helped. Cabbage and watercress, Hakata-style hot pot with Hiyamugi chicken. The sweetness of the cabbage is coming out nicely. I would have been satisfied if there were two more pieces of chicken, though (^ ^; I finished with the milk pudding dessert. Thank you for your cooperation at the seat payment. It's too expensive to search for your preferred flavor, and one-person hot pot is difficult, so I'll have to reconsider my memories and look forward to the next opportunity.

A Kyushu company that handles everything from raising chickens is operating its first restaurant. I chose the classic weekday lunch option, the Oyakodon set meal. The set meal includes three side dishes - potato salad, vegetables, and mentaiko. The Oyakodon was a bit salty and soupy, but when I added shichimi spice, the flavor balanced out. The chicken was delicious, probably due to its freshness. The set meal also included chicken soup and a bite-sized dessert, making it a fulfilling meal. Considering the location in Ginza, I believe the cost performance is quite high.

Both of our work calmed down a bit, so after a long time, Asa and I went on a date after work. We used a 2,000 yen discount coupon that came with a free paper from Tokyo Metro at the Ginza Bekiaikan restaurant to enjoy "Hakata Hanamidori Ginza Nitchome Store" for Mizutaki. The restaurant is located on the restaurant floor of Bekiaikan (7th floor). I sometimes use the LOFT from the 1st to the 6th floor, but this was actually my first time using the dining facilities in this building. Regarding reservations and orders, I wanted to have a hot pot before it got too warm, so I made a reservation for Mizutaki set and seat only. Mizutaki costs 3,300 yen per person, and if it's not a course, there is an additional 600 yen for the seating fee. As an appetizer, two small dishes (chicken liver on the left and bamboo shoots on the right) came out, but it's probably around 400 yen... However, they prepared a semi-private seat for us, so it's okay to think of it as part of the atmosphere. Nevertheless, there were hardly any other customers... For the order, included in the "Mizutaki" menu are [Hanamidori Mizutaki (cut, minced, sliced, liver, vegetable platter), finish (egg porridge or chanpon noodles), pickles], so I ordered the seasonal Hanamidori salad. It had colorful vegetables, half-cooked egg, and even tender chicken meat, which we were able to finish, but after eating the finishing noodles, I felt a bit full, so when ordering individual items other than Mizutaki for two women, I recommend checking the overall size and ingredients before placing an order. The table was being set up gradually from the time the salad was served, but Mizutaki is served on a table IH cooking device, and the staff will take care of everything from adding ingredients to adjusting the heat. The photo shows the soup poured into a separate bowl and the first meat divided onto a plate. By the way, on this day, I surprisingly tried shochu (Akane Kirishima) from the first glass. I forgot to take a photo of the menu, but they had a variety of original shochu, including potato, barley, and rice. They also had over 10 types of sake, as well as about 5 kinds of fruit liquor with plenty of fruit juice, so I was happy with the wide selection. This time, I started with Akane Kirishima on the rocks, then switched to orange liquor on the rocks, so I enjoyed drinking slowly and managed to finish with two drinks healthily. Even with just Mizutaki alone, with vegetables, meat, and finishing porridge or noodles, you can get full, so I think it's a good choice for enjoying delicious Mizutaki while leisurely enjoying alcohol. I hope to continue using it as a candidate for when I want to enjoy a drink slowly.

After watching the New Year's Kabuki performance, I wanted to eat something nice for the New Year, so I went to Hanamidori for some Mizutaki. It's located in a commercial facility inside the LOFT building, so the atmosphere is not the best, but the Mizutaki is reliable. The meal ends with Zosui. When you make it yourself, it turns out a little different, more like okayu. Zosui is best when someone else makes it for you.
