After getting off at the south exit of Tanashi Station on the Seibu Line and walking left for two minutes, I passed through a curtain with the characters "Tora Usagi" (Tiger Rabbit) and entered the restaurant. The interior, with its orange tones, felt both retro and calming, creating a cozy atmosphere. There are counter seats, tables, and a small tatami room, making it a comfortable place to enjoy a meal. They first explained the all-you-can-drink options, which is 100 yen every 10 minutes for a mandatory two hours. Afterwards, there’s no call for last orders, but you can keep drinking at that price. Even though it’s a must for two hours, 1200 yen is incredibly cheap compared to other places! This is amazing! The deal even includes draft beer. When I ordered a draft beer, the glass had a cute design of a boy and a girl, adding a nice touch. Additionally, they served a clam soup at the beginning, showing their thoughtfulness. Later, when I ordered a lactobacillus sour drink, it was white, allowing the design to appear even more charming. The first dish was "Meat Sushi," marked as a “must-try” on the menu, with a note that it was one piece per person as a greeting. They seared the meat right in front of us, and I got to enjoy it freshly grilled. The rice was firm and vinegared, and when I added wasabi, it was delicious! After that, I had around seven skewers of meat rolls, vegetable rolls, and grilled chicken, all uniquely crafted. They mentioned that it takes two days to provide the lettuce, which came in abundance, making it easy to get lots of dietary fiber—definitely good for the body! The menu names were creative, such as “Breakfast,” “Emerald,” and “Bathtub.” Among them, my favorite was “Noodles Sashimi," which was incredibly tasty! I also tried the popular "Mentaiko Offal Hot Pot," which has a generous amount of cod roe, and it was full of flavor. A warm pot is perfect to warm up with sake as the weather gets colder! For the finishing touch, I added champon noodles to the pot. The chewy noodles were delicious, and even though I was already full, I couldn't resist finishing them. In the end, the owner explained the wonderful artwork in the restaurant and shared heartfelt thoughts about their family and coworkers. I truly felt the owner's passion and dedication to the menu, which made for a memorable evening. Thank you!

The atmosphere of the restaurant was great, and the clientele was nice, making it very cozy. The staff were friendly and often checked on us with kind words. The menu had a variety of uniquely named skewers, which were enjoyable to look at and eat. However, it took a bit of time for the dishes to be served, so it's best to go when you have some time to spare. The drinks were reasonably priced, and there were many unique options that you won't find elsewhere, which was nice.

The meat sushi was delicious! It was bigger than I imagined, and I enjoyed watching it being grilled right in front of me. The staff was helpful in recommending dishes, which was great when I was unsure about what to order. The meat-wrapped lettuce was as tasty as they suggested.

I’ve been curious about this place. We visited as a family in the evening. I’ve never had mentaiko (spicy cod roe) hot pot before and have been wanting to try it for a long time. We started with the restaurant's signature grilled meat sushi, which they prepare right in front of you. It was incredibly tender and delicious! The skewers were also unique and had interesting combinations that made the experience fun. The broth for the hot pot was incredibly tasty—I could eat it forever. There was plenty of mentaiko, and it was mild enough for the kids to enjoy. I would have liked a bit more offal in the dish, though—do they offer extra offal? The only downside is that it's a smoking-friendly place, which is unfortunate. That’s a tough issue to address. I want to try other skewers as well! Thank you for the meal!

On this day, I took a detour to Tanashi. It's an area I'm not very familiar with, but I heard there’s a delicious izakaya (Japanese pub) there, so I made a reservation and went. It's conveniently located about a 3 to 4-minute walk from the nearest station. Walking along the train tracks makes it easy to find. The restaurant offers counter seating, table seating, and tatami mat areas. We started with a toast over draft beer. There's nothing like a cold beer after work. Since there were many menu items to choose from, I asked the staff for recommendations and ordered a few things. By the way, the staff that day consisted of energetic young men whose cheerful greetings really created a lively atmosphere. They offered a two-hour all-you-can-drink deal for 100 yen every ten minutes, but I opted for a la carte. I picked a few recommended items from the menu, which had some marked as favorites. The first dish was the new potato salad. It was generously piled high, topped with homemade onion sauce. The caramelized onions were probably sautéed, adding extra sweetness, and when paired with the potato salad, it was delicious! There was a heated debate about potato salad at one point, but it actually takes quite a bit of effort to prepare it. It also had thick-cut bacon, giving it more heft than it appeared to have. Next came the shrimp kimchi. I love shrimp! It was mixed with mini tomatoes, and the kimchi added a mild spiciness. There might have been some diced radish kimchi as well, providing a nice crunchy texture — a perfect dish to enjoy with drinks. The next recommendation was their famous lettuce-wrapped meat. Apparently, this dish takes a lot of time to prepare, as each piece of lettuce is tightly wrapped, left to set for a day. The cross-section of the cut was very beautiful, and when dipped in sauce from the dish, it was exquisite! A well-balanced skewer that combines both meat and vegetables. I enjoyed it so much that I ordered a second one. Another recommended dish was the meat-wrapped sushi, made with A5 rank beef. It’s pre-seasoned and lightly seared with a blowtorch to keep it rare. This dish allows you to savor the flavor of the meat directly. I then switched to a sweet drink, possibly a peach sour. The shiitake mushrooms had a thick texture, soaked in a delicious butter-soy sauce. The chicken breast was not dry at all; rather, it was tender and juicy, perfectly complemented by wasabi. The next dish, the beef uni oyster, was exactly as the name suggests: an oyster topped with beef and uni (sea urchin), garnished with wasabi. It’s a voluminous and decadent skewer that beautifully mixed flavors. For the closing skewer, I tried the recommended natto (fermented soybeans) with deep-fried tofu. It was a large piece of thick tofu generously topped with a mix of whole and mashed natto, providing a hefty portion. For dessert, I had strawberry tea and something called "Panai" – the restaurant's only dessert. It was a bagette stuffed with vanilla ice cream and then fried. It seemed to be an original creation of theirs. It was substantial, sweet, and refreshing. Everything I had was delicious, and the vibrant atmosphere of the restaurant made it a comfortable place to be. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Here's an introduction to a trendy izakaya in Tanashi✨ It's a quick 3-minute walk from Tanashi Station, and they offer an incredible all-you-can-drink deal at just 100 yen for every 10 minutes (available for a minimum of 2 hours)! This izakaya is the only one in Tanashi that specializes in meat-wrapped dishes, and the food is quite elaborate, making it highly recommended. The all-you-can-drink option is an amazing value at just ¥1,200 for 2 hours, and the glasses they serve the drinks in are truly adorable. I recently enjoyed the all-you-can-drink option along with some à la carte dishes, so here’s what I tried: - **Meat Sushi (¥600)**: This delicious meat sushi rivals that of high-end yakiniku restaurants. The fatty meat is wonderfully sweet and melts in your mouth. It's grilled right in front of you, adding to the excitement, and the freshly grilled taste is incredible. It's amazing to enjoy black wagyu sushi at this price! - **Lettuce Wrap (¥400)**: This dish uses an entire head of lettuce, packed tightly for a delightful crunch. The crispy texture is very enjoyable, served with a dashi vinegar for extra flavor. - **Breakfast (¥480)**: A combination of asparagus, bacon, and a fried egg, making it very much like a breakfast dish✨ This classic pairing looks great and tastes rich, with a perfectly runny yolk. - **Pickled Ginger (¥150)**: This is a perfect accompaniment for the drinkers; the acidity of the pickled ginger pairs beautifully with the salty meat and adds a nice crunchy texture. - **Kimchi (¥250)**: Cooked kimchi that has a rich flavor, it’s less spicy than usual, making it very easy to eat. - **Fried Noodles (¥300)**: This is the first time I've had fried noodles wrapped in meat! These bite-sized, delicious fried noodles are incredibly addictive. - **Sukiyaki (¥350)**: If you want to enjoy the meat, sukiyaki is the way to go. The sweet sauce seeps into the meat and tofu, making it utterly delicious. It's a type of skewer that I really enjoyed! Dipping it in egg yolk adds a delightful creaminess✨ - **Beef and Oyster (¥400)**: A luxurious combo of beef and oyster! There’s no way it’s not delicious… The oysters are plump, and the beef is tender—truly fantastic! - **Shrimp Kimchi (¥450)**: It's rare to find shrimp kimchi, but this one lets you indulge in the rich flavor of shrimp, making it perfect for pairing with drinks. - **Plate Shumai (¥700)**: My first time trying plate shumai! These hearty dumplings are definitely worth a recommendation. The flavor is authentic, and the meat is densely packed. - **Chinese Noodles (¥700)**: We finished off with the Chinese noodles! The flavor is comparable to a specialty noodle shop. Everything at this restaurant is out of this world… The comforting soup and perfectly chewy noodles made for a delightful ending to the meal. Every single dish here is delicious, especially the variety of unique meat-wrapped options that you can't find anywhere else. There’s an extensive menu, so it seems like it would be fun to visit multiple times!✨ #ToraUsa @Tanashi ◾️ Instagram: @torausa_tanashi ◾️ Type: Izakaya ◾️ Price Range: ¥3,000 - ¥4,000 ◾️ Closed: Sundays ◾️ Hours: 17:30 - 25:00 ◾️ Food Review Rating: 3.18

I usually tend to go to new restaurants, but I keep coming back to this one. Even though I usually dine alone, the cheerful staff always say, “Thank you for coming again,” which really makes me happy. Today, I stopped by for a solo late-night meal after a drink. The Chinese noodles are truly delicious. I genuinely want to bring my friends along to help contribute to their sales.

This is a Japanese izakaya located just a 2-minute walk from Tanashi Station on the Seibu Shinjuku Line, which opened in July this year. The restaurant offers delicious vegetable-wrapped skewers and creative dishes. They have an incredible deal for a drink-all-you-can service that costs only 100 yen for 10 minutes, starting from 120 minutes with a requirement for two food orders—though that’s hardly an issue! We began with a luxurious A5-grade Wagyu beef sushi, which is expertly seared in front of you with a torch. The large piece of beef is so tender that it cuts easily with chopsticks, and it just melts in your mouth as soon as you take a bite. The restaurant's recommended vegetable-wrapped skewers range from standard options to some unique selections, and the staff is very helpful in explaining them, so you can feel at ease. We tried various skewers starting with a breakfast skewer topped with asparagus and bacon, as well as yakisoba and pickled ginger skewers, moving on to the classic lettuce-wrapped skewers. Each skewer, grilled over charcoal, was delicious. The lettuce-wrapped skewer uses a whole head of lettuce, so considering the cost and labor involved, 400 yen for a plate is quite a bargain. Aside from skewers, we also enjoyed the restaurant's recommended boiled gyoza hot pot. The white soup, simmered with a whole chicken for two days, was absolutely exquisite. The gyoza, which absorbed the broth and became melt-in-your-mouth tender, was fantastic as well. After that, we tried various skewers including Chinese-style beef stir-fry, kimchi cheese, sukiyaki, and pepper cheese skewers, along with beef and sea urchin oysters. In addition to the vegetable-wrapped skewers, the restaurant also offers grilled chicken and offal skewers, so we indulged in chicken thigh, neck, pork liver, and even Unzen ham. Honestly, everything was delicious, and I may have overdone it on the food! I was completely full and had plenty of drinks, so by the end, everything was perfect. The hospitality from the owner and his wife was outstanding, and I definitely want to visit this place again. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

This skewer shop offers a great deal with all-you-can-drink for just 100 yen for 10 minutes. Open since July of this year, it has seating areas that accommodate small children, making it family-friendly. The lettuce-wrapped meat skewer is delicious, as the refreshing taste of the lettuce complements the juiciness of the meat perfectly! There are also creatively named skewers like breakfast and yakisoba, which made for a fun dining experience.

As you exit the station, head immediately to the left and you'll reach the restaurant in about a minute. All seats are smoking-friendly, and you can enjoy a 10-minute all-you-can-drink option for just 100 yen (with a minimum two-hour stay and at least two food orders). The restaurant specializes in "yakitori" (grilled chicken skewers) and offers a unique selection of 15 different types, including their distinctive “vegetable rolls” and “meat rolls”, in addition to the standard skewers. Reservations are encouraged, especially on weekends, as I visited on a Sunday at 6 PM and the place was nearly full the whole time. The seating options include table seats, tatami table booths, and a counter. The clientele ranges from their 20s to 50s and includes many locals, along with about four families with children, creating a generally homey atmosphere. ★Must-Try Dishes★ - **Meat Sushi:** A must-order dish. It is incredibly delicious, with a sweet, melting fat that surpasses the quality of typical meat sushi from casual izakayas or regular BBQ joints. - **Signature Lettuce:** The most popular dish here. The lettuce is served with vinegar dressing on both sides, allowing the flavors to soak in, making it incredibly tasty. You could eat it endlessly! - **Breakfast:** A unique skewer combining asparagus, bacon, and a fried egg, reminiscent of a New York or French breakfast. This is a combination you don't see often; I might try to recreate it at home. - **Fried Noodles:** A nostalgic skewer that feels like a junk food treat. I'm sure children would love the flavor. - **Pickled Vegetables:** A more adult-oriented skewer, with a refreshing, light flavor that serves as a nice snack. - **Kimchi Cheese:** The creamy richness of cheese pairs perfectly with the tanginess of kimchi, creating a flavorful balance against the richer items on the menu. - **Chinese-style Pepper Beef:** Crunchy bell peppers and tender beef come together with a strong taste, making it great for drinking. - **Sukiyaki Meat Roll:** One of the standout dishes that tastes almost exactly like sukiyaki, with rich flavor infusing every bite. This is perfect for those who want just a taste without too much commitment. - **Chicken Thigh:** Juicy and flavorful, particularly when you bite down, releasing its essence. - **Neck Meat:** Muscular and chewy, giving a great traditional yakitori experience. - **Mentaiko (Spicy Cod Roe) Pot:** I ordered this on a chilly day and it was spot-on. The flavor is addictive, making you want to drink up every last drop, similar to how you’d feel with ramen broth. The finish includes rice topped with green onions and an egg yolk, subtly enhanced with sesame oil. I enjoyed every bit until the soup was gone. - **Pan Ice:** A uniquely presented dessert; it's fried vanilla ice cream stuffed inside French bread, resembling something you might find in a stylish café in Daikanyama. The name “Pan Ice” fits well; let's not nitpick about its English translation. This restaurant embodies the ideal local izakaya with its commitment to deliciousness, providing a fantastic dining experience that left me completely satisfied. There was also a birthday event happening at a nearby table, which contributed to the lively atmosphere as everyone joined in applause. The staff’s energetic and attentive service reminds me of the vibrant vibe in Shinjuku. Keep in mind, if you sit at the counter, you might get quite a bit of smoke, so casual attire is recommended. The tatami and table areas can be rearranged, making them suitable for gatherings of five or more for parties or year-end celebrations. I highly recommend this spot for anyone along the Seibu Shinjuku line! It was delicious—thank you for the meal! =====MENU===== - Meat Sushi, Breakfast, Lettuce, Fried Noodles, Kimchi Cheese, Pickles, Szechuan-style Beef Roll, Sukiyaki Meat Roll, Chicken Thigh, Neck Meat, Mentaiko Pot, Pan Ice, All-you-can-drink (10 minutes for 100 yen, with a minimum two-hour usage) ———o0o——— - Address: 4-4-2 Minamimachi, Nishitokyo, Tokyo - Reservation: Available (Online reservation or 050-5593-8651) - Opening Hours: Monday to Saturday 5:30 PM to 1:00 AM - Closed: Sundays and last day of long weekends - Payment Methods: Various credit cards / PayPay - Average Cost: 4,800 yen per person ⭐️Tabelog Rating: 3.14 ———o0o——— Instagram ID: tam_gourmet_

Two beer-loving girls made a reservation for a 2.5-hour all-you-can-drink course for 4000 yen at a restaurant for the first time! After making the reservation, we found out that the restaurant allows smoking, and since both of us are not fond of cigarettes, we hurriedly called to confirm. They suggested that sitting at the very end of the counter might minimize our exposure to smoke. When the day arrived, thanks to our counter seats, we didn't feel particularly bothered by the tobacco at all. The food was really delicious, both in terms of variety and quantity, and we were able to eat our fill. Of course, we enjoyed the beer too! We had so much fun that we nearly missed the last train and had to run to the platform... lol.

This is a new restaurant in Tanashi, and it's called "Tora Usagi" (Tiger Rabbit). It's quite high-level for an izakaya. While yakitori is the main focus, they also offer creative dishes. Here are my recommendations: 1. Meat-wrapped skewers: A great combination of vegetables and meat! 2. Large steamed shumai: It's huge and delicious! 3. Steamed chicken salad: Refreshing and healthy! Honestly, it's one of the high-level izakayas in Tanashi!

A cost-effective creative cuisine restaurant has just opened on July 7, 2024, about a 2-minute walk from Tanashi Station. The entrance has a retro feel, inviting guests to step inside. Although the restaurant has just opened, the interior has a warm, retro atmosphere with spacious seating that includes tatami-style dugout tables, regular tables, and counter seating, making it a comfortable spot for solo diners. Despite being new, the restaurant is already quite popular, and on the day of my visit, it was fully booked. The signature dishes include grilled skewers such as vegetable rolls, yakitori, and yakiton, all cooked over charcoal. The all-you-can-drink plan is a fantastic deal! For just 1,200 yen, you can enjoy two hours of drinks, and after that, it’s only 100 yen for every 10 minutes—a great value the longer you stay! With over 25 drink options including draft beer, whiskey, umeshu, sake, shochu, and sour cocktails, you can indulge in your favorite drinks. The glasses are adorable too! One features a tiger and a rabbit, which, when put together, symbolize a proposal—a charming touch! For those who don’t drink alcohol, there are many delicious non-alcoholic options available as well. To start, we were served a complimentary dish: "shijimi clam soup," a rich broth served in a stylish teacup, which helps prepare the stomach before drinking. The restaurant also offers popular course meals, but we decided to order à la carte. As a welcoming gesture, we ordered one "Wagyu sushi," priced at 600 yen. This dish features A4 grade beef that is gently seared right in front of you with a torch, creating a delightful display. The meat is tender and melts in your mouth—it’s a must-try! The restaurant's signature meat rolls are made by wrapping fresh vegetables in meat and grilling them perfectly. Each skewer ranges from 150 yen, making it quite affordable while maintaining high quality! The most popular item is the "meat-wrapped lettuce skewer" at 400 yen, which uses a whole lettuce. It takes two days to prepare, offering a refreshing and crispy experience paired with homemade dipping sauce. This is another must-order item! The restaurant serves various types of skewers: - Yakitori skewers: - Kashiwa (chicken) - 180 yen - Shiso chicken neck - 180 yen - Creative meat rolls: - Katsu cheese - 250 yen - Yakisoba - 300 yen - Breakfast - 480 yen (Asparagus wrapped in bacon topped with a fried egg) - Peppers in cheese, which are halved and filled with gooey cheese. The hot pot is also popular, with the "Mentaiko Motu Nabe" being the top choice. Packed with large amounts of mentaiko (pollock roe), the dish includes tender entrails and lots of vegetables. The delicious broth is infused with the flavors of mentaiko. For the final course, you can choose between champon noodles or rice porridge; we opted for the rice porridge, which was rich with flavors from the mentaiko, entrails, and vegetables. We enjoyed every bit! To conclude, we had "Panai's" (500 yen)—fried bread filled with vanilla ice cream, which was delightful! Among the drinks we ordered were: - Beer - Umeboshi sour - Calpis - Peach jasmine tea - Peach black tea Every dish was delicious, leaving us very satisfied! The name of the restaurant, featuring a tiger and a rabbit, comes from the zodiac signs of the owner and manager. Inside, there are appealing illustrations of tigers and rabbits. The designs reflect the connections of family and staff in the restaurant. The owner and the manager's hospitality were warm, contributing to the homey atmosphere of the place. Now I understand the reason for its popularity! With seating options that accommodate individuals to groups and families, this restaurant is perfect for casual visits, girls' nights, or dates. The prices are very reasonable, making me eager to return for another visit!

Recently, I visited "Tora-Usagi," which is just a 2-minute walk from Tanashi Station. It had just reopened on July 7, and the interior was very stylish, creating a casual atmosphere that's great for dropping in. The owner was friendly and welcoming, making it easy to relax even as a first-time visitor. One of the standout features of this establishment is their drink service, where drinks are priced at 100 yen every 10 minutes. The longer you stay, the more you save, which makes it tempting to linger. To start, we had a dish of clams served as an espresso, a concentrated broth made from the clam's essence. It had an exquisite aroma with a refreshing taste—perfect for kicking off the meal. Next was the beef sushi, which surprised me with the size of the meat! Made with A5 ranked beef, staff also performed a fun show by searing it with a torch right in front of us. One bite melted in my mouth. At just 600 yen, the quality was so good that I'd want to come back for more. Then we tried the lettuce-wrapped meat skewer, where a whole piece of lettuce was used and eaten with a special dipping sauce. The crispiness of the lettuce paired beautifully with the refreshing sauce, providing both satisfaction and lightness. Although the dipping sauce is a closely guarded secret, its deliciousness was evident. The sukiyaki skewer tasted just like a rich sukiyaki experience. The sweet and savory sauce had a flavor that was addictive, making it hard to stop at just one. The egg-over-rice dish had the texture of risotto, packed with the rich flavors of meat and broth. It was a perfect way to end the meal. The Tora-Usagi hot pot let us enjoy both seafood and meat simultaneously. The mountain hot pot includes chicken, pork, and wagyu offal, while the seafood spicy cod roe hot pot features scallops, shrimp, and oysters. The broth was light and clear; the scallops were fluffy, the shrimp was firm, and the oysters were creamy and delicious. We also had chicken nanban, which had a crispy coating and juicy chicken complemented perfectly by tangy tartar sauce—this dish was enjoyable to the last bite. To finish, we had noodles cooked in the spicy cod roe hot pot broth, which were wonderfully chewy and paired excellently with the soup. Every dish was carefully prepared and delicious. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I visited "Tora Usagi," a restaurant with a Showa retro atmosphere located just a short walk from Tanashi Station. The space features comfortable areas like a sunken kotatsu and a relaxing counter, creating a cozy environment. I was intrigued by the menu of hot pot and meat-wrapped skewers, so I made a reservation online before my visit. The first dish served was "Shijimi Espresso," a concentrated soup made from shijimi clams that whetted my appetite and warmed my digestive system, prepping me for the meal ahead. Next, I enjoyed the asparagus and bacon skewer topped with a fried egg. It was a unique dish designed to evoke a breakfast vibe, and when I took a bite, it had a rich flavor reminiscent of carbonara, with a perfect balance of salt and pepper. It paired wonderfully with my drinks. Then came the green pepper beef skewer, allowing the flavor of the tender beef ribs to shine through, enhanced by a familiar stir-fry taste. The juiciness of the meat made it a highly satisfying dish. The beef, uni, and oyster skewer was also a highlight, delivering a burst of ocean flavors without any fishy taste. Its rich umami was delightful. The new potato salad featuring Shari-Apin sauce was exceptional as well, with thick-cut bacon that was tender and paired excellently with the sauce, leaving me wanting more of its comforting flavors. The noodle skewer, made with niboshi (dried sardines) oil and essence, was meant to be mixed with homemade soy sauce before eating. One bite revealed the fragrance of niboshi along with the savory taste of the noodles, creating a refreshing flavor that once again enhanced my drinking experience. Next was the yam nabe (pot), featuring tender wagyu offal and soft meat that made the flavorful broth deeply enjoyable. The balance of vegetables and meat was excellent, and the broth highlighted the ingredients' natural flavors, creating a punchy taste experience. For the final dish, I had a rice bowl topped with raw egg, styled like a zosui (rice porridge) using the broth from the yam pot, allowing me to fully enjoy the umami of the broth and the richness of the meat. Tora Usagi offers a diverse menu centered around hot pots and skewers, and every dish I tried was delicious. The homely atmosphere of the restaurant made the experience even better. I definitely look forward to returning. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

This is my third visit. Since it's close to my home, I can easily stop by after getting off at the nearest station. However, there are no friends nearby, so I usually come alone, but the restaurant always welcomes me warmly. I had the white mapo tofu, which was delicious and not too spicy! And then there’s the ramen to finish off the meal! Even though I'm always full, I want to enjoy a bowl of it every time. The atmosphere of the staff is great too, and I'll definitely come back again.

**Tiger Bunny @ Tanashi**──────────────────── ◎ 10-minute all-you-can-drink for ¥100 ◎ Meat sushi for ¥600 ◎ Meat rolls starting at ¥150 ◎ Grilled chicken skewers starting at ¥180 ◎ Noodle sashimi for ¥650 ◎ Fried dumplings for ¥700 ◎ Tiger Bunny hot pot for ¥1,900 (per person) ◎ Pan-fried snacks for ¥500 ＼ 10-minute all-you-can-drink for just ¥100⁉️ I don’t want to share this... / I've discovered an amazing place where you can enjoy all-you-can-drink for an incredible "10 minutes for ¥100" at this izakaya (with draft beer included!). You can use it for 2 hours for just ¥1,200, which is ridiculously cheap! Normally, drinking time cuts off 30 minutes before closing, but here you can drink for the full 2 hours! And despite this, the food isn’t expensive either—what gives?! The design is also appealing, reflecting the restaurant's attention to detail. I absolutely love places like this! The food is delicious, especially the "Tiger Bunny hot pot," which is mind-blowing. I just got off at Tanashi Station for the first time, but considering the time and transportation costs, it’s cheaper and more satisfying to drink here than in Shinjuku. By the way, there's also a partner karaoke establishment, and if you go for a bar-to-karaoke plan, it's "all-you-can-drink and sing for 1 hour for ¥1,000." ❤️‍ This place is incredible, and I want to share it with everyone, but with such great value, I'm worried about how the business is doing…

I was taken to this shop by a friend for the first time, and I had a really fun time while listening to the owner’s recommendations. We started with a toast over beer. This place offers a drink-all-you-can plan for 100 yen every 10 minutes, but only after you order for two hours. At 1,200 yen for two hours, you can eat plenty as well! First up was the A5 wagyu sushi, which they grilled right in front of us. This sushi was melt-in-your-mouth tender and gave me a great feeling that it was going to be delicious! Next, we tried the recommended meat rolls, starting with the "breakfast" skewers topped with a fried egg—it was visually impressive to have breakfast for dinner. Then came the yakisoba skewers (which made me feel like I had a full serving of yakisoba), yamaimo (with ume on top for a refreshing texture), and lettuce rolls. I learned that the lettuce rolls take two days to prepare and were packed with healthy fiber. As we continued, we selected a few more interesting items. First was the shrimp kimchi, which was cold, bite-sized, and perfect as a palate cleanser. Then we tried "Emerald," which filled the air with a fresh green aroma; it was definitely worth trying. The noodle sashimi was also delightful! It was a fresh take on enjoying niboshi ramen as a snack. Just when I was starting to feel full, we ordered the "mentai motsunabe." While waiting for the pot to simmer, we enjoyed some sake from the "Tora" and "Usagi" brands, which the shop features. The owner shared a bit about the shop's history and the meaning behind the name "Tora Usagi," which reflected their strong passion for building a solid team. For the finale, they mentioned having champon noodles, and while they also had a zosui option, I was too full to indulge this time, leaving something to look forward to for next time. I found a place I definitely want to visit again when drinking in Tanashi!

Hello! I'm Harapeko-chan, and I'm starving today! ———— Store Details ————————————— Store Name: Tiger Rabbit Nearest Station: 2-minute walk from Tanashi Station Address: 4-4-2 Minamimachi, Nishi-Tokyo, Tokyo, 188-0012 Business Hours: 17:30 - 1:00 Closed on Sundays Budget: ¥3,000 - ¥4,000 ———————————————————— This time, I visited "Tiger Rabbit," a creative izakaya known for its unique menu items and a 100 yen all-you-can-drink special for 10 minutes, just a 2-minute walk from Tanashi Station! Opened in July 2024, this restaurant offers creative skewers where meat and fresh vegetables are wrapped in meat and grilled over charcoal until crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The unique skewers come with intriguing names like "Emerald," "Bathroom," "Yakisoba," "Breakfast," and "Popeye," which all pique your interest. You can order individual skewers, so it's great to try various types! They also have a skewer platter of three for 600 yen (including tax), perfect as a snack while drinking. But that's not all; the drinks feature Tiger Rabbit's signature 100 yen all-you-can-drink for 10 minutes (available for 2 hours with a requirement of ordering two dishes per person). If you love alcohol, you'll definitely enjoy trying out all the drinks at Tiger Rabbit. As for the appetizer, we had "Shijimi Soup Espresso," which had a rich, concentrated flavor from the shijimi clams, a perfect start before drinking. The staff were full of energy, cheering us on with enthusiastic toasts, creating a lively atmosphere. Here are the dishes we ordered: - **Wagyu Beef Sushi:** One of Tiger Rabbit's must-try menu items! You really should have at least one person order it. It features a large slice of wagyu beef on sushi rice, which the staff sears for you with a torch right in front of you. The rich fat from the grilled wagyu melts in your mouth immediately! - **New Potato Salad:** This is an original potato salad from Tiger Rabbit, topped with plenty of Shariyapin sauce (made from simmered onions). The sweetness of the onions blends perfectly with the potato salad and chunky bacon bits! - **Jidori Gunkan:** This unique gunkan sushi features raw chicken tartare, allowing you to savor the delicious flavor of jidori chicken with every bite. - **Yakisoba:** This stir-fried noodle dish is rolled with meat, and the combination of the flavored yakisoba and juicy meat is simply addictive! - **Kimchi:** The spicy kick of the kimchi pairs exceptionally well with the meat. - **Lettuce:** They use an entire head of lettuce! It takes two days to make one of these legendary lettuce rolls. The finely packed lettuce, wrapped in pork, absorbs its rich flavor, making it crispy, juicy, and incredibly delicious. It’s served with a house special vinegar-based sauce, making it refreshing to eat. - **Kashiwai:** The chicken has a firm, bouncy texture! - **Seseri with Shiso:** The flavor of seseri (chicken neck) shines through with each bite, complemented perfectly by the shiso leaf. - **Bathroom:** Surprisingly, this is a juicy pepper wrapped in meat with plenty of cheese filling. The grilled cheese on the outside is rich and gooey, offering a hearty bite! - **Mentaiko Motsunabe:** It’s wonderful to enjoy this famous Hakata dish in Tokyo! The generous portions of mentaiko and offal are cooked in a meticulously crafted broth, highlighting the rich flavors of the ingredients. You can choose between rice or noodles for the final touch. - **Final Rice:** This dish comes with a raw egg on top, allowing you to coat the rice like a TKG (Tamago Kake Gohan) before adding it to the pot. The rice, soaked with the delicious motsunabe broth and the added flavor of mentaiko, remains tasty until the very last bite. The interior of the restaurant reflects the owner's dedication to creating a stylish, cozy space. With counter seating, table seating, and dugout seating available, it’s a great place for company parties or reunions with larger groups. Be sure to enjoy the drinks and the unique creative vegetable-wrapped skewers and hot pot dishes that you can only experience here at Tiger Rabbit! I’m fully satisfied, and thank you for the meal!

Hello, I'm Umami-chan! Today, I visited the creative dining restaurant "Tora Usagi," which opened in July 2024, just a 2-minute walk from Tanashi Station, Tokyo. This place has become super popular since its opening, offering unique skewers that are hard to imagine just by looking at the menu names, as well as classic, delicious dishes that are perfect for drinkers—all at reasonable prices! Here’s what I ordered: ☑️ Wagyu Beef Sushi (2 pieces) ¥1200 ☑️ New Potato Salad ¥500 ☑️ Chicken Gunkan ¥700 ☑️ Skewer Menu: - Yakisoba ¥300 - Lettuce ¥400 - Kimchi ¥250 - Bath ¥300 ☑️ Spicy Cod Roe Motsu Nabe (Offal Hot Pot) ¥1500 ☑️ Rice for the Ending ¥500 ☑️ 10-minute All-You-Can-Drink ¥100 The carefully crafted skewers were all exceptional. The menu includes intriguing names like "Breakfast," "Emerald," and "Panai-su," making it hard to guess what they are just by their names. Also, the restaurant's signature "10-minute all-you-can-drink for ¥100" makes for a fun experience that keeps customers entertained. Among the various dishes I tried, I'll highlight my top three recommendations: - **Skewered Lettuce**: Using a whole lettuce, this is the restaurant's top recommendation, taking about two days to prepare. It's grilled to perfection—crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside! The lettuce is generously packed and absorbs the delicious sweet fat from the pork. It's incredibly tasty, making you want to drink more, so you definitely have to order this! - **Wagyu Beef Sushi**: This dish features beautifully marbled, thinly sliced wagyu that is grilled right in front of you. It's so tender that you barely need teeth to enjoy it. With a hint of wasabi, it’s absolutely delicious. While I ideally wanted to share it, I couldn’t help but finish the entire piece in one mouthful because it's sheer bliss! - **Spicy Cod Roe Motsu Nabe & Rice for the Ending**: This motsu nabe rivals even the best in Hakata! With a generous amount of spicy cod roe and soft, fluffy offal, the combination is perfect. As it gets colder, this is a must-try dish! Plus, if you order the hot pot, definitely get the rice for the ending! It comes topped with a raw egg, which you should mix well so that each grain of rice is coated. It was so good that even after feeling full, I found myself wanting more! Other dishes like the New Potato Salad and Chicken Gunkan, as well as the restaurant's original creative skewers, were all delicious and offered flavors I had never experienced before! The "10-minute all-you-can-drink for ¥100" makes sure the fun doesn’t stop. The restaurant has a spacious layout with counter, tatami, and table seating. The staff is cheerful, energetic, and provides attentive service, making it easy to spend more time there than planned. I truly recommend this place, so everyone should definitely check it out! **Store Information** "Tora Usagi" 4-4-2 Minamimachi, Nishitokyo City, Tokyo Business hours: [Mon-Sat] 17:30 - 25:00 Closed on Sundays Walking distance: 1 minute from Tanashi Station Estimated budget per person: ¥3,000 - ¥3,999 Cards accepted, no electronic money, QR payments available. #TokyoGourmet #TanashiGourmet #NishitokyoGourmet #Tokyo #Tanashi #TanashiDinner #TanashiIzakaya

Recently, there are fewer places open late at night, making it difficult to find a spot for a second or third round after the nearest station. However, I found this gem, and I was amazed by both the food and hospitality. It seems to be run by a young couple, and they have a small child. This is my second visit, and I must say the dish you absolutely need to try is the Chinese soba. It only has green onions as toppings, but it’s an essential dish to have as a final course. In fact, I would go there just for this.
