Each dish was carefully crafted and paired well with sake. It went particularly well with the dry sake. I noticed the "Nanban-zuke" and decided to order it. The grilled spicy sardines were large and fatty. The fried horse mackerel had a light and non-greasy texture. Looking back, there were a lot of sardines and horse mackerel on the menu.

I searched and saved this restaurant on Tabelog, and happened to find it while walking. The menu was placed on the roadside, and I initially thought the building in front of me was the restaurant, but it turned out to be a bar, and the restaurant was located in the back of the building. I took the elevator to the 4th floor and entered the restaurant. There were two other customers seated at a table in the back, so I chose a seat at the counter in the front. The lunch set included four types of side dishes - Niku Dofu (meat and tofu), Shishamo fish roe, and cabbage rolls. I ordered the cabbage roll lunch set for 1200 yen. After having beer and tempura rice bowl last night, I wanted a light lunch. The side dishes included simmered eggplant, tuna with greens, tamagoyaki (rolled omelette), and simmered fish. The simmered eggplant was delicious, and after having the simmered fish, I felt like having more rice. The tuna sashimi with komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach) also seemed like it needed rice. Although it wasn't stated on the menu, I asked for an extra serving of rice, which turned out to be brown rice with a nice texture. I thought it was mixed with something like barley, but it was actually brown rice. I'm not very knowledgeable about healthy eating, as I usually only eat white rice. The miso soup had mushrooms in it. This was the first time I had such a cabbage roll. It wasn't a Western-style dish, but had a Japanese touch to it. The seasoning was wonderful, and the colors of the ingredients were beautiful. After paying the bill and opening the door, I saw the staff member behind me. I complimented the delicious cabbage roll and the Japanese taste. They wished me luck for the rest of the day. I appreciated the hospitality of this Japanese restaurant, and the friendly distance in which you could have a conversation with the staff. I also greeted the staff member who had moved outside to the menu board. The "Choi Nomisetsu" (light drinking set) for 1900 yen includes four side dishes and a choice of drink, available from 4:00 to 5:30 PM.

There was a menu between Sotobori Street and Corridor. Sitting at the counter, you can enjoy premium shochu and other drinks. The sound of cooking is pleasant. The stuffed cabbage and obanzai have a gentle flavor. The quiet background music of QUEEN was also soothing.

Near the office in Ginza, there has been an increase in restaurants that used to only operate at night but now offer lunch as well. This reflects the current trend. I visited one such place where they used to serve side dishes for drinks, but now offer them for lunch as well. Here is my review: 1. Location, atmosphere, interior: Located about a 7-minute walk from Ginza Station, on the outskirts of Ginza that is also within walking distance from Shinbashi Station. It is in an old mixed-use building tucked away in the back, on the 4th floor, making it a bit hard to find. Look for the lunch signboard on the street as a guide. The interior is small with a main counter, giving off a retro snack bar vibe. It's dimly lit, and sunlight doesn't seem to shine in even during the day, making it somewhat suitable for day drinking (laughs). 2. Food: You can choose from several daily main dishes, accompanied by 4 side dishes. I was intrigued by the grilled spicy pollack roe, but since it was cold, I opted for the "Cabbage Roll" as the main dish. First, the side dishes were served, consisting of "Egg and Tomato Stir-Fry," "Marinated Horse Mackerel," "Simmered Eggplant," and "Spinach with Sesame Dressing." They all had a homely and simple taste. The Cabbage Roll was slightly small, with a Japanese-style flavor cooked in bonito broth. The cabbage was tender and well-cooked. The brown rice was served in a small bowl. It was a "healthy" lunch set in terms of both content and portion. 3. Staff: There was a female staff member outside the building, probably due to the hard-to-find location. She seemed to also assist in cooking. The main cooking and customer service were handled by a female chef. While the basic aspects like greetings and seating were fine, she seemed engrossed in conversation with what seemed like regular customers, making it slightly uncomfortable for other customers. 4. Value for money: Considering the food quality, quantity, atmosphere, and the chef's service, I honestly didn't feel like it was great value for money. In the competitive lunch scene around Ginza and Shinbashi, you have many options for 1,200 yen. 5. Other: They offer a nice set for a light drink between 4 pm and 5:30 pm.

When you come to the street between Corridor and Sotobori Street, there is a lunch operation signboard, and when you take a photo, the staff will guide you to the elevator which may be hard to find. They explained the four main dishes for the 1200 yen lunch set (meat tofu, cabbage roll, sardine mentaiko, chilled Chinese noodles) and the choice of rice, so I ordered the sardine mentaiko. I sat at the counter, received alcohol disinfection, received a wet towel, and was served cold tea. After a while, four appetizers were served: octopus vinegar, simmered eggplant, goya champuru, and dried daikon radish. By the time I finished eating them, the sardines arrived. With a small amount of rice and miso soup with nameko mushrooms, I enjoyed it while reminiscing about Toko-san. The sardine mentaiko had less mentaiko than expected, but it felt healthy. Throughout the 20-minute stay, the music was all Queen.

At a cozy little restaurant where you can enjoy the home-cooked meals of a friendly and cheerful landlady, a lunch set featuring four side dishes is now available for 1200 yen including tax. Despite its small size with only a counter, the warm atmosphere makes you feel like you're visiting a relative's home. For the lunch set, you get to choose from three main dishes. On this day, the options were mackerel with spicy cod roe, rolled cabbage, and meat tofu. There was also a limited availability of chilled Chinese noodles. I wanted to have a hearty Japanese meal, so I chose the mackerel with spicy cod roe. First, the four side dishes were served neatly arranged in small bowls. There was chicken and winter melon, maybe daikon radish. They were cooked in a flavorful broth. Another dish was thinly sliced burdock root stir-fried with soy sauce, and simmered golden-eyed fish with butterbur sprouts. Lastly, there was spicy seasoned bean sprouts. All of them had a slightly rich flavor, perfect for pairing with beer or sake. I wish I could have had a drink. The main dish of mackerel with spicy cod roe was prepared by cutting the mackerel along the back, crisping up the skin, and stuffing it with spicy cod roe. It was served piping hot and paired wonderfully with rice. The charming lady with a smile also helped out, creating a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant. I'm thinking of trying the chilled Chinese noodles next time.

Enjoying the taste of autumn and savoring delicious Japanese sake. This is a moment of bliss.

I head to Ginza craving delicious side dishes and sake. As always, the selection of sake is abundant. Today, I enjoyed Kamo Kinshu and Kasumi Tsuru. Satisfied!

The daily homemade side dishes made from fresh ingredients are all delicious! Among them, the stir-fried minced meat, eggplant, and pickled vegetables is exceptional and I had seconds. The sashimi is also fresh and tasty! This is a restaurant that makes you want to go back again soon.

The delicious seasonal dishes and a variety of drinks made by the female owner are full of seasonal flavors. Whether you stop by casually, entertain guests, or spend time with a friend, it's up to you how you want to enjoy it.

We enjoyed sake, appetizers, and Japanese sake with friends at the counter. The selection of Japanese sake varies depending on the time and occasion. The seasonal obanzai dishes always have a delicious taste.

You can enjoy a selection of sake, shochu, and wine that go well with the dishes. You can also have small Japanese dishes. It is the perfect place for a relaxing drink in a calm atmosphere in Ginza!

Enjoy delicious home-cooked dishes that make you feel the season, along with tasty sake! The conversation with the landlady also adds to the enjoyment.

The taste was okay, but there were some parts where the flavor was lacking, which was a bit disappointing. However, the atmosphere of the restaurant was nice and the owner was friendly, so I would like to go back in the future with hopes that things might improve.

The food is quite delicious. The mama-san is also very kind, I would like to go back again.

The variety of dishes is abundant and everything tastes delicious! I thought it would have a luxurious atmosphere being in Ginza, but it has a warm ambiance more like home-cooked meals than a high-end restaurant.

After work, feeling a bit hungry, I find myself heading to Ginza 7-chome. The proprietress explains today's evening dishes, and I enjoy a refreshing beer and delicious side dishes. Finished off with Inaniwa udon. Feeling satisfied, I leave the restaurant. The night in Ginza is long, maybe one more stop...

I went to this restaurant based on a recommendation from a friend. I had been there before and the food was delicious and the atmosphere was great, so this time I used it for a meeting with clients. They were very pleased. They have a counter where you can just have drinks and snacks, but this time we had a full meal. We had the chef's choice course, which included a variety of dishes such as fish, meat, vegetables, simmered dishes, grilled dishes, and pickles. I personally prefer light dishes, but everything was delicious. One thing that stood out was the large dried sweetfish. They have tables for four people, so I would like to use it for a girls' night out.
