Blog "Tokyu Line, Food Walking" https://asante.blog/ ---- On this day, I had a drinking party in Shibuya. I visited this place that I was curious about and made a reservation. The exterior looks like an old office renovated, but inside the store, there were a counter and several tables in the back, with a moderate size. First, I ordered ・Draft beer 680 yen ・Chardonnay ginger sour 680 yen. The store seems to recommend shochu as their main alcohol, but there were also many other types available. There were unique options like "Marukan vinegar sour" and "pickled dishes," making it hard to choose just one. The "otōshi" was a small plate of somen noodles, with eggplant and myoga, which I really enjoyed. The meal menu had many options, so I ordered on a whim. That day, I had ・Uni-topped sasa pork shumai with leafy greens aroma 1,200 yen ・Seared mackerel with shungiku soy sauce 1,000 yen ・Homemade horse mackerel fry with tzatziki sauce 700 yen ・Deep-fried isobe-age style live seaweed zepolino 600 yen ・Charcoal-grilled new onion with shiokoji butter and karasumi 880 yen. There were also substantial dishes, and we were full with just the two of us. The "mackerel" appeared first. The combination of shungiku and soy sauce paste was unique and matched well with the mackerel. Next, the "horse mackerel fry" arrived. The tzatziki sauce, made from yogurt with chopped cucumbers, was refreshing and complemented the fry well. It was my first time trying it, and I was impressed by how well it paired with the mackerel fry. Amazing restaurant. The "uni shumai" is their specialty, and when you open the steaming basket, a hot dish with plenty of pork and uni on top appears. The mince of the meat, size, and aroma of the leafy greens were to my liking. A must-try dish. We added more drinks around this time, ・Highball 500 yen ・Coffee shochu with water 700 yen. I love coffee, and this "coffee shochu" had a delicious coffee and water taste, making it a hidden gem. If you love coffee, you should try this. Towards the end, the "zepolino" with nori flavor and plenty of cheese was irresistible. It had a generous portion as well. As we continued drinking, we also ordered ・Fresh lemon sour 650 yen. It goes well with the zepolino. For the finish, we had the "charcoal-grilled new onion." The butter on top of the grilled onion with karasumi was delightful. We enjoyed the sweet new onion, including the burnt skin. The karasumi was good, but I felt that enhancing the aroma a bit more would make it even better. The restaurant was lively, including standing drinking, and had a fun atmosphere where you could enjoy delicious food, typical of Kamiyama. I would like to visit again. Thank you for the meal.
