The sun took a step back, the leaves invited sleep, and autumn awoke. Rachael Franco ▶ Today we have here [Gokan de Tanoshimu Kushikatsu-ya Namaiki] Skip about 7 minutes from Shibuya Station near Aoyama. Opened in April 2015, are you enjoying delicious kushikatsu? For those who want to enjoy truly delicious kushikatsu in Shibuya, you can taste carefully selected seasonal ingredients at the best timing. A casual kushikatsu dining that sends out Japan's "omakase" to the world. Gokan de Tanoshimu Kushikatsu-ya Namaiki I made a reservation for a weekday night and visited. After work, I walked from Hachiman Street to the restaurant, and the evening sky was very yellow and magical. Many people were taking photos, it was beautiful. Okay, is this the place? Checked the location of the restaurant. Since there was still some time before the reservation time, I chilled out at a nearby Japanese confectionery store. When I mentioned that I was going to drink at the kushikatsu restaurant across the street, I got information that it was very delicious! It's comforting. I arrived at the restaurant a little early. The large lanterns outside caught my eye, giving off a cool and Japanese atmosphere. Oh, there is a naked statue in the back of the outdoor menu... I think it belongs to this art building, not the restaurant. I also found an ashtray outside. The inside of the restaurant is spacious, with an open kitchen, wooden counter seats, table seats, and maybe private rooms at the back. It's beautiful and calming, with jazz playing in the background, soothing to the ears and mind. Oh, I like this atmosphere. The casual modern impression of wood and black is like an adult dining experience. I sat at the counter seat. Seasonings were placed on the lunch mat. Sauce, Himalayan rock salt, dashi soy sauce, lemon, miso. Just this space alone is enjoyable. The staff is friendly and provides attentive service. They even dealt with my cheekiness properly! The young students and their seniors all seem to get along well. Oh, I want to work part-time here... ▶ What I had today (excerpt) * Skewers were served omakase style. When you are full, the password to stop is the signal! ・ [Asahi EXTRA COLD] 780 yen The coldest and most delicious beer in Shibuya. Served in a tin glass at -2°C.
