[Tokyo, Minato-ku] March 6, 2020 (Friday) A restaurant serving local dishes from Kochi, located at the west exit of JR Shinbashi Station. You can enjoy Kochi local delicacies such as straw-grilled bonito. To get there, exit the Uomon Gate of Shinbashi Station, walk while looking at the New Shinbashi Building on your right. Cross the Shinbashi San-chome intersection, turn right one street before the main street (Hibiya Avenue), and you'll find it on the 2nd floor of GEMS, just a 5-minute walk from Shinbashi Station. It is also a 3-minute walk from Hibiya Line Uchisaiwaicho Station (A1 exit). Closed on Sundays, and closed on Mondays if there is a consecutive holiday. The restaurant was established in 2018, and there are also branches in Ueno and Gotanda (a total of 9 stores nationwide). Reservations for banquets are also available online. There is a cooking booth for straw grilling as you enter the store. The seating consists of around 14 tables for 4 people each, and 5 private rooms (total of 80 seats). Smoking is allowed in all seats, but lunchtime is non-smoking. There is a bell to call the staff on the table. Despite the current mood of self-restraint, the restaurant is almost full and bustling! Especially for a Friday night, this level of customer turnout is quite impressive. It is in stark contrast to the quiet atmosphere in Ginza. Some items on the menu include: [Appetizers] - Miso cucumber with bonito flakes, Cold tofu with bonito flakes, Pickled myoga, Dashi rolled omelet with aosa seaweed, Chambala shellfish, Bonito with sake lees, Sunfish hot pot, Mejiro croquette, Long-tailed tusk fried [Fish dishes] - Straw-grilled bonito, Straw-grilled halibut, Shimizu mackerel sashimi, Sesame oil and salt sashimi of Ashizuri Megumi sea bream, Saba prime fire bonito, Utsuho deep-fried fish, Rare bonito Nanban fried, Kabuto simmered Ashizuri Megumi sea bream [Meat dishes] - Straw-grilled Tosa beef, Straw-grilled Shimanto pork steak, Shimanto pork dashi cutlet, Bonito chicken with bonito flakes [Finale] - Grilled somen noodles, Shimanto grilled udon, Tosa Jiro & bonito flakes egg over rice, Fish rice, Bonito tea pickles. When ordering specific menu items, the staff shouts "Yoisho, Yoisho!" loudly while serving generously, which seems to be an event related to sake or bonito. ------------------------------------------------ ■ 2-hour Premium All-You-Can-Drink Course (¥5500) * Use a ¥500 coupon ◎ Premium All-You-Can-Drink Even with the regular all-you-can-drink, you can fully enjoy beer and shochu (such as Dabada fire shaking). By upgrading to premium, you can enjoy all-you-can-drink of 5 types of Kochi sake, making it a must for sake lovers. The included sake in the all-you-can-drink menu is as follows: Tosa Tsuru Shouhei, Takiarashi, Shimanto River, Tamanoi, Aki Tora ◎ Bonito-flavored chawanmushi Each person's portion of bonito is served in a masu box. Unlike regular bonito, it is made from Souda bonito, which is rich in taurine and has a strong flavor. Grab it with tongs and put as much as you like on the chawanmushi! Bonito is also included as an ingredient in the chawanmushi, allowing you to enjoy the aroma and umami of bonito twice. ◎ Straw-grilled and sashimi platter In addition to bonito straw-grilled and yellowtail straw-grilled, the platter includes hagatsuo, gure, and isaki sashimi. All are brought from Kubotsu fishing port in Kochi Shimizu City. The plentiful condiments such as myoga, onion, green onion, and garlic are the second main attraction. Especially the sliced garlic is irresistible! Enjoy the slightly warm bonito straw-grilled, which is clearly grilled in the store. When eaten with salt, you can enjoy the smoky aroma. Combining garlic, green onion, and ponzu sauce is also delightful. The yellowtail straw-grilled, which I tried for the first time, emphasizes the richness of the fat when grilled, giving it a somewhat fatty taste. This one dish alone is more voluminous than imagined. You can enjoy it with salt, ponzu sauce, versatile sauce, or soy sauce. The soy sauce is a local product from Kochi and surprisingly sweet! They say soy sauce in Kyushu is sweet, but this one is on another level (^-^;) ◎ Bonito's homemade tuna salad Each person gets their own portion of the salad.
