Enjoy a fun time in a red-light district atmosphere with delicious drinks and barbecue time at Ebisu's "Sake and Yakiniku New Tommy" As the name of the restaurant suggests, the focus is on drinks, and you can enjoy barbecue in a casual izakaya style! The aim is to create a new concept of a barbecue pub where you can enjoy various drinking scenes, as it is open from daytime to early morning on weekends. The dazzling exterior and interior are said to express the atmosphere of the Edo period red-light district as seen by foreigners. Therefore, the names of the meat courses are like this... Hiyoshiwara - Full Course (8300 yen) Gion - Just Right (6300 yen) Nakasu - Drinking Companions (4300 yen) Ah, I see! Tonight, the middle-aged man on summer vacation is enjoying a solo counter barbecue experience with a Nakasu-style course and an all-you-can-drink option (2300 yen). The music playing in the restaurant is classic rock, which I love, making it feel like I'm drinking at home. And the manager kindly explains various things about the restaurant and the meat, making it a comfortable place to linger. It truly feels like experiencing the concept of a barbecue pub centered around the counter with meat as the main focus. So, with a draft beer in hand, the night begins with boiled tongue soup, seasonal vegetables, fresh namul salad, Kobe Nakayama Kimchi, and more. The thick-cut tongue is truly fit for a general, served with a lemon eschalot and salt ponzu sauce. The Ero Harami (4 slices) is available for order depending on the cut. Why is it called Ero Harami? Truly a red-light district vibe... The Akahormone Mix includes pork throat cartilage, beef tongue tip, beef gizzards, and chicken hearts, served with a sweet and savory Thai-style sauce. The Tane Niwatori from Kagawa Prefecture includes chicken thigh meat, seseri, and skin, served with vinegar soy sauce, lime, and yuzu pepper. Lastly, the fresh lamb is a must-try, with tongue, hormone, chicken, and lamb all offering exquisite flavors. The night ends with a variety of rice dishes, all of which are said to be confident creations. Although the curry and TKG (tamago kake gohan) were tempting, I decided to order the top menu item, "Chicken Soba." It truly lived up to its reputation as a delicious dish. So, after a satisfying night of solo counter barbecue, both body and soul are fully content in this pub experience.
