After 6 years, I enjoyed the unchanged deliciousness of Torinobu and various types of sake in Nishinippori ☆彡 #Gourmet #Izakaya #Nishinippori October 19, 2022 After 6 years, I visited "Torinobu" in Nishinippori. Not "Ichihakuseisei" but "Ichihakusui"! Just changing one character, it's not just a "star", it feels like something is being accomplished~ (wait, that's not it!?) Starting with replenishing protein with natto. You might think it's yakitori because of the name "Torinobu", but actually, there are various other menu items, and that's the charm of this restaurant. And the classic rock oysters. They were delicious. When I asked for a suitable sake, they brought out "Musou". It was also very delicious. Even better when eaten with oysters! Very delicious roast beef! The tsukune is enough for four people on one plate. It might be better because you can eat a variety of other dishes. What was this? It seemed like vegetables, but it was crunchy and delicious. Even though it's an izakaya, Neapolitan pasta?! It's delicious, this one. Actually, garlic fried rice is also delicious. Of course, yakisoba too. It was a time where I could enjoy deliciously after a long time. Thank you for the meal.

The last time I went was before Corona, and it had been a while since I visited here. The restaurant, as the name suggests, offers a wide variety of dishes and everything is delicious. There are so many dishes I want to try, from the main course to dessert, but it's hard to decide. It's truly an ideal izakaya. The winners this time were the kinkan (kumquat) and liver sashimi!

I visited Nishi-Nippori for the first time. I was taken to a good restaurant here. Thank you very much. The sake was delicious, and the food was delicious. I thought I might start with edamame and finish with rice, but there was no time for such leisurely thoughts. Everything was so delicious that before I knew it, I was stuffed. I ate what I wanted to eat from the beginning and drank what I wanted to drink. I was recommended a great restaurant. Nippori is not to be underestimated. #Thank you for the meal #Gourmet #Izakaya #Nishi-Nippori #First visit #Just between us #The staff enjoyed the meal #That's all from the scene.

Located between Nishi-Nippori Station and Nippori Station. Today, due to the influence of the typhoon, the rain was heavy, but the restaurant was full. I ordered liver, gizzard, cartilage, and tsukune. The liver is delicious no matter when you eat it! I want to eat it again. I also ordered simmered chicken innards, which was also delicious.

While searching for a place to drink from Nippori to Nishi-Nippori, I stumbled upon a cozy yakitori restaurant along the Joban Line tracks. I debated between a bottle of Super Dry or Asahi, but ultimately went with the classic Asahi for the first drink. The appetizers, including nanbanzuke, fresh oysters, and chicken tataki, were all delicious and perfectly seasoned to my liking. The bottle of Kuro Kirishima shochu I ordered afterwards was also finished in no time. I definitely want to come back to this place at least once a week.

Located halfway between Nishi-Nippori Station and Nippori Station, about a 5-minute walk from the station. This restaurant is always busy, so it's a good idea to make a reservation before going. It's a yakitori restaurant, but you can enjoy a variety of appetizers and the dishes are creatively prepared, which is very impressive.

The restaurant is located about 5 minutes from Nippori Station and Nishi-Nippori Station. It was less crowded today compared to usual. I visited with my elementary school classmate and wife. There are various dishes available. When I go with my wife, we usually order dishes that we like, but today we ordered dishes that we don't usually eat, and they were delicious.

Located between Nippori Station and Nishi-Nippori Station, this yakitori restaurant is always crowded. It has a first floor with a counter and table seating, and a second floor with tatami seating. Despite being a yakitori restaurant, they offer a wide variety of dishes, all of which are delicious and thoughtfully prepared.

Located between Nishi-Nippori and Nippori, this restaurant was bustling when I visited after 6pm. The first floor was fully occupied, so I was guided to the second floor tatami seating area. I was surprised to see there was a second floor seating as well. I started with a glass of draft beer and toasted. As the name suggests, there were plenty of chicken dishes on the menu. In addition to meat and fish, there was also a wide variety of pasta dishes! It's rare to find a place like this with such a variety of pasta. Everything I ate was delicious. I would love to visit this restaurant again if I have the chance.

Located between Nishi-Nippori Station and Nippori Station, this izakaya was a bit hard to find, but had high ratings so we made a reservation and visited. The restaurant wasn't very large, and we were seated in a tatami room on the second floor. There were four tables. The menu offered a variety of dishes, each thoughtfully prepared and enjoyable. The flavors were delicious. We will definitely visit again.

On Saturday at 5:00 pm, we made a reservation to enter a popular restaurant where you can't get in without a reservation. We sat at the counter and this day was our wedding anniversary. Since our registration and wedding ceremony dates are six months apart, we celebrate twice a year. On this special occasion, our eldest son joined us. The three of us ordered extravagantly - we started with bruschetta as an appetizer, followed by black shochu on the rocks. We indulged in dishes like chicken thigh sashimi, mixed sashimi platter, fresh vegetable salad, and assorted sashimi platter. We also enjoyed a couple of bottles of black shochu and various types of sake. As we continued to order yakitori skewers and natto soy milk gratin, my mind started to get fuzzy and I couldn't even take photos anymore. We finished with ochazuke, and the bill was settled by card payment. Despite consuming a lot, the total amount was surprisingly reasonable. We definitely need to visit again for bottle maintenance!

On Saturday at 5:00 PM, I arrived at the restaurant 1 minute before opening, as I always keep my promise to arrive on time. I had made a reservation for 2 people, and we were seated at a table. The restaurant quickly filled up with other reserved guests, showcasing its continued popularity. We were served appetizers of simmered tripe, firefly squid sashimi, and grilled chicken breast, among other delicious dishes. The chicken breast sashimi and grilled chicken were particularly outstanding. The simmered tripe used beef intestines, which added a rich flavor. The firefly squid glistened, as if welcoming the arrival of spring. As someone from a region where chicken sashimi is common, I paired it with sweet potato shochu. After a bottle of beer, I enjoyed a glass of Fukuoka's Kin-Kuro sweet potato shochu on the rocks, followed by a chaser of Nihonshu Shichiken. Eventually, I couldn't resist ordering a bottle of Kuro Kirishima sweet potato shochu from my hometown to pair with the chicken sashimi. I prefer my sweet potato shochu on the rocks. Although I almost finished the bottle, I decided to save some for another visit, giving me a reason to return. Afterward, my hippocampus seemed to abandon its duties, leaving me unable to recall how I paid the bill with my card, purchased rice cakes at the nearest station, or even how I made my way back home.

A straightforward izakaya with delicious food. The restaurant is narrow with two floors, and even before 6:00 PM, the first floor was already full. The menu has a wide variety of dishes like yakitori and sashimi. The photo shows a platter of three types of chicken tataki, which was delicious. All the dishes were tasty, and the staff's service was good. The drinks were also delicious, and before we knew it, about 3 hours had passed. I will definitely visit again.

I have always wanted to visit this restaurant that I have heard about. It is located along the railway tracks, a short walk from Nishi-Nippori to Nippori station. The exterior gives off a local izakaya vibe, making it seem intimidating for outsiders, but once inside, the staff are friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming. The menu is extensive and I had a hard time deciding what to order, so I ended up trying a variety of dishes including sashimi, meat, fried foods, and grilled items. The horse mackerel sashimi was fresh and delicious, while the grilled chicken was juicy and flavorful. The crab cream croquette and miso-marinated cod were also tasty with gentle seasonings. Everything I tried was delicious. The highlight was the three types of chicken sashimi, each offering a different taste and texture. The seasoning was a bit salty, but all the dishes were very tasty. The saltiness paired well with beer. They also had a good selection of rice dishes, which I would like to try next time.

A popular izakaya located between Nippori Station and Nishi-Nippori Station, known among locals. It is a clean and cozy place, not a typical yakitori restaurant with smoke-filled walls. Oysters are highly recommended, with a generous portion for only 300 yen. The menu is diverse, including pasta dishes. They also offer shochu and sake. Credit cards are accepted.

When it comes to Nishi-Nippori, the reliable classic restaurant Torinobu is a must-visit! Since the Health Promotion Law, the cigarette smell has disappeared, making it even more enjoyable to savor the delicious dishes and Japanese sake. The prices are reasonable for the quality of the yakitori they serve, making this restaurant a gem in this day and age. The lineup of Japanese sake is also excellent, offering popular brands at fair prices. The service is friendly and welcoming, allowing you to experience the charm of a traditional downtown restaurant. The only thing I have been thinking about is that the yakitori tends to be on the salty side. It seems to be the preference of the restaurant to season the skewers generously with salt. Compared to other popular places, I find the saltiness a bit too strong. I wish I could ask for less salt, but it's hard to do so, so I just bear with it (laughs). Other than that, everything is perfect. It's my favorite spot! Recommended dishes include the Tori Tataki assortment, Hoya sashimi, and skewers of liver and rare cuts.

As everyone has mentioned, everything you eat here is delicious and the menu is extensive. The chicken sashimi and yakitori are delicious. The katsu sandwich is also tasty. For something a little different, try the squid ink pasta. The deep-fried nameko mushrooms are also good. A standout dish is the corned beef in a bread basket. Sake goes down smoothly with everything. I want to try everything on the menu. It was truly delicious.

Theme: From here to there, to the dining hall or izakaya (745) Category: I can't live without alcohol. It was a fun and quite a bit of drinking series. After about six months, I contacted my drinking master, thinking that the heat had subsided a bit, but even so, in the still hot late September, a drinking party was arranged. Thinking about the participants, the middle of Nishi-Nippori and Nippori, where the Keihin-Tohoku Line, Yamanote Line, Joban Line, Chiyoda Line, Keisei Line, and Toden Arakawa Line are all possible, we chose the izakaya "Torinobu". The restaurant's name has "tori" (bird) in it, so of course, the chicken is delicious, but the menu is also rich in fresh fish and everything was delicious that I forgot what I ordered (laughs). The photos show that we are in quite a good mood, ordering a lot of food and alcohol. We had chicken sashimi, smoked herring, century egg and avocado salad, assorted sashimi, grilled dishes, and skewers with cartilage. There was something grilled with green onions. And we finished with salt and green onion yakisoba. Please see the details in the photos. I have to go back soon. Kerorin♪ On this day, Jeremy the cricket showed his shyness and didn't say a word.

"I made a reservation, but it was fully booked! After being turned away a few times, I finally managed to get a table! It was past 9 PM on a weekday. I called ahead and they said they could accommodate us. I took a taxi from Ueno to get there. The restaurant was almost full, with many regular customers. I ordered a rock glass of Imo shochu from Namikura. My companion had a green tea highball. My companion's injury seems to be gradually improving, and recently they have been able to enjoy alcohol together. The dishes we ordered were: - Assorted chicken sashimi - Fresh oysters from Hokkaido and Konbu Mori - Octopus and radish in vinegar - Grilled Yagen cartilage - Grilled sand liver - Grilled chicken tenderloin - Grilled shishito peppers - Grilled shiitake mushrooms The appetizer was warm and delicious. The assorted chicken sashimi included seared liver, breast meat, and thigh meat. They even gave us some shirako (milt) as a bonus. The radish had a great texture. Thank you for the meal!"
