Shibuya Station is a 7-8 minute walk away. Despite being a bit far from the station, this area is filled with intriguing dining options. Among them, there is a particularly intriguing restaurant called "Gyoya Gouban." I've heard that you can eat delicious fish here. Although we love meat, we also have a great love for seafood. This is definitely going to be amazing! So, this time, I made a reservation for the "Gouban Special Course with All-You-Can-Drink" for 7,000 yen per person. This is going to be a fantastic experience!
■ Upon entering the restaurant!
This restaurant is located in a somewhat hard-to-find place. This time, I was led to a private room upon entering the restaurant. As I sat down, I noticed hand-written messages that added a nice touch. Since we ordered a course, there was no need to choose dishes, but we could select drinks from the all-you-can-drink menu. The all-you-can-drink menu had a great lineup, and as a beer lover, I was delighted to see Ebisu beer on the list. So, I started with a toast with beer! I couldn't wait to try the amazing seafood that was about to be served.

Lastly, we had the pasta with uni and mentaiko in a rich cream sauce. The combination was perfect, and the dish was incredibly flavorful. It was so delicious that I would be impressed even if it was served at a regular pasta restaurant!
Overall, every dish that was served was delicious! With all this food and all-you-can-drink for 7,000 yen, the cost performance was excellent. The restaurant is a bit hidden away from Shibuya Station, giving it a cozy, hidden gem vibe. I definitely want to visit again soon.
