Visit on a holiday for lunch, ordered the Chicken Soboro and Natural Yam Set Meal for 980 yen (excluding tax). Under the chicken soboro, there was a layer of bonito flakes which added a strong aroma and flavor, making it delicious. After that, I mixed grated yam and a soft-boiled egg into the chicken soboro bowl, which was a delight for someone who loves grated yam. Apart from the chicken soboro, they also offer dishes like pickled mustard greens and spicy cod roe, which I would like to try on my next visit. It seems they also have evening hours, which piques my interest. However, the dim lighting might be a bit too dark for lunchtime, but overall, it was a good experience.

"Natural Yam Tororo - Pork Shabu-Shabu with Natural Yam Tororo Croquette Set Meal + One Drink: Ume Kombu Tea This time, I visited 'Natural Yam Tororo', which is a 7-minute walk from Omotesando Station. When you want to eat fresh natural yam... that's when you go to eat here. The tororo made from domestic natural yam goes perfectly with rice. Pour the tororo over the pork shabu-shabu and yuzu pepper. It's a powerful combination that you can finish in no time. After that, the croquettes made with natural yam are exceptional, and it's a nice point that you can try three different types of croquettes. If you're interested, please visit at least once.

On Friday night, I made a reservation and visited the restaurant. When I arrived, there was one group in the back tatami room and two groups at the table seats. It's a one drink minimum, so I ordered a Highball (580 yen). My friend's Shikuwasa liquor soda came in a cute spherical glass. Almost all of the set meals came with croquettes, and the only difference in toppings (chicken soboro, shirasu, pork shabu, etc.) and whether it was regular or raw yam. It seems that raw yam has a stronger stickiness. I chose the pork shabu rice with regular raw yam set meal (1,300 yen). I waited for a long time, about 40 minutes... During that time, customers kept coming in and the restaurant was full. 90% of the customers were women. Maybe because of frying the croquettes, the dishes were served to about three groups at a time. The person next to me had already finished their drink, so they had been waiting for over 50 minutes... The food was carefully prepared, and when I ate the rice topped with pork shabu, onsen egg, and raw yam, it was a delicious combination as expected. What impressed me the most was the croquette. It was fluffy and had a delicious sweet potato flavor with minced meat. The fried dish with yam and cheese was also delicious. By the time I finished eating, I was full, even though I initially thought the rice portion was too small. The bill was around 2,000 yen per person. The taste was very good, but the restaurant operation was clearly inefficient, and the wait for the food was too long, which was disappointing.

Tororo Set Meal at Omotesando Stylish Restaurant Natural yam tororo in Omotesando can be eaten raw, and it is a healthy ingredient with beauty and digestion benefits. The set meal includes tororo, rice, salad, miso soup, hijiki, onsen tamago, and pickles, all for around 1000 yen. From pickled mustard greens to mentaiko, and egg with tororo, can there be anything more blissful? As expected, it is delicious, making you want to visit regularly. The interior of the restaurant has a limited number of seats, but each seat is spaced out, giving a relaxed atmosphere. Moreover, being located underground means you often get seated without waiting. It's still a hidden gem, so I highly recommend visiting.

I visited before 7:00 pm on a regular evening. The restaurant was empty when I arrived, but it quickly filled up with customers. They offer various types of tororo (grated yam) rice bowls. The pork shabu bowl alone is quite filling, with tororo on top of rice and a raw egg. The flavor is enhanced by the addition of yuzu pepper. They also offer three types of cutlets. The tororo cutlet is excellent, but the chicken breast cutlet was also very tender.

Located between Omotesando Station and Shibuya Station, in the Araki Building B1F in Shibuya 1-chome, is a visit to "Jinenjo Tororo". As the name suggests, Jinenjo Tororo specializes in dishes using Japanese wild yam. The interior of the restaurant, with around 20 seats including sunken kotatsu-style seating, features a concrete and stone decor. The menu offers a variety of set meals based on wild yam and fresh wild yam, with side dishes such as chicken soboro, pork shabu-shabu, mentaiko takana, bakudan, and roast beef with shirasu. For those looking for dinner options, there is also a night set menu available. Please note that in the evening, there is a one-drink, one-food item policy per person. [Items Tried] "Mentaiko Takana" Fresh Wild Yam Croquette Set Meal - 1,760 yen Comes with salad, side dish, and miso soup. The fresh wild yam, which can also be eaten raw, has a firm texture, fine grain, and a flavorful taste. However, the rice was poorly cooked, dry, and not a good match with the wild yam. The croquette selection included what seemed like frozen items simply deep-fried, such as cheese croquette, chicken nuggets, and others. The quality of these items was below expectations. I would have appreciated more attention to detail in the rice, water, and other side dishes. The fact that the dishes from the tables on both sides of me were left dirty and not cleared during my entire visit in a not-so-crowded restaurant was also off-putting. The service from the staff was lacking as well. I do not plan to visit again. Thank you for the meal!

The food is always delicious whenever I come here. Today, I ordered the homemade ginger ale. In the evening, in addition to the set menu, you need to order one drink. There is a sunken kotatsu-style space in the raised seating area, with speakers built into the walls. The sound quality is not bad either. I love yam so I will definitely come back again.

I had the Natural Yam Tororo Croquette Set Meal with a Natural Yam Pudding. The fried items from left to right are the Natural Yam Croquette, Menchi Katsu, and Sasami Katsu. The tororo had less stickiness than I imagined, but the flavor was just right. The pudding was matcha flavored, smooth with a firm texture, and very delicious! The restaurant had a calm atmosphere that suited the traditional Japanese meal, with both table and tatami seating available.

In a calm atmosphere, the sticky yam dishes and various dishes that go well with rice were delicious, making it impossible to stop eating the set meal! I'm also curious about trying raw yam, which is said to have a stronger stickiness and a natural texture for grated yam.

Long yam and natural yam are the main attractions at this restaurant, so the soba noodles are somewhat of a side character. This time, we tried a creative dish, so the evaluation is a bit unconventional. The soba noodles themselves have a good texture but lack a strong flavor. They may pair well with the other ingredients in the cold soba dish, but on their own, they felt a bit lacking. The dipping sauce was tasty, but the flavor was a bit overpowering. Overall, the dishes were delicious, with surprising ingredients and accompaniments. The richness of the natural yam really stood out. I can see why this place is popular. The downside was the slow service - it took almost 30 minutes. Also, on this day, they didn't have soft-boiled eggs, so they served raw eggs instead. Despite that, it was still tasty.

At this restaurant, they offer dinner sets and dishes made with natural yam, as well as a wide selection of alcoholic beverages.

"Meitai Takana" Natural Yam Tororo Set Meal - ¥1,100 (tax included) * Lunch is cash only, dinner accepts credit cards. Content: A generous serving of takana (pickled mustard greens) and mentaiko (spicy cod roe) on top of steamed rice. Enjoy it with grated yam and raw egg on rice. Comes with miso soup, macaroni salad, pickled daikon with bonito flakes, and simmered hijiki seaweed. Taste: The rice portion was quite substantial, but the combination of various side dishes makes it irresistible. The tororo (grated yam) has a smooth texture with a slight crunch from yam pieces. If you prefer a stickier tororo, choosing the "raw" natural yam option might be better. Other menu items: - Lunch menu in the upper picture - Dinner menu in the lower picture, with natural yam croquette Restaurant atmosphere: Stylish Japanese restaurant with healing piano BGM. Dim lighting with strong spotlights, creating a cool and calming ambiance. Seating: Tables and sunken kotatsu seats available. Crowd: Full house on weekends at 12:30, but quick turnover. Occasionally, there may be a short wait. Age range from 10 to 60, mostly female. About 20% male customers, groups of 1 to 3. COVID-19 precautions: Hand sanitizers available, no partitions. Service: Staff seemed busy, but no noticeable issues with service. Recommended for those who want to enjoy a variety of rice dishes.

I arrived at around 1 pm on a regular day, but the restaurant was full, probably because it had a small number of seats. I was seated in a tatami room since that was the only available option. I ordered the set menu with grated yam. It arrived in about 10 minutes. Despite the restaurant's focus on grated yam, I felt like there wasn't enough of it. (There was more miso soup in the set.) I would have been happier if there was a larger portion of grated yam. Thank you for the meal.

Natural Yam Specialty Store was an interesting concept. I arrived around 2 pm on Saturday and had to wait for about two groups ahead of me. It took about 20 minutes to get a table. The interior of the restaurant was modern and stylish, with walls made of natural rocks. About 70% of the customers were women. Despite the late hour, some items were sold out. I ordered the Spicy Cod Roe and Pickled Vegetables with Fresh Yam Rice Bowl (1200 yen) and the Sticky Yam Pudding (450 yen). The prices were a bit high, but considering the location and the opportunity to eat fresh yam, it seemed reasonable. The fresh yam was indeed sticky and different from regular grated yam. When eaten with the spicy cod roe rice, it created a perfect balance of rich and refreshing flavors. However, the service was a bit disorganized, with long wait times and chaotic staff. Overall, the experience was more memorable for the service than the food.

Arrived at the restaurant a little after 12:00. The staff seemed a bit unfriendly, but the atmosphere was nice with dim lighting and music. I ordered the Roast Beef and Fresh Yam Set for 1430 yen (tax included). The fresh yam was sticky and chewy, and the onsen egg was deliciously creamy. They recommended eating it with grated yam. The only downside was that the rice was quite hard with some crunchy parts on the surface. The roast beef was tasty, but it didn't seem to soak into the rice which bothered me a bit. The set also came with salad and miso soup, so it felt healthy. It would have been a better experience if the staff had been more friendly.

Visited a natural yam restaurant that I had been curious about since before my visit in September 2020. It is located less than a 10-minute walk from Shibuya Station, on the main street towards Miyamasuzaka and Aoyama Gakuin University. The restaurant is located underground. Upon descending the stairs and entering the restaurant, there is a relaxed and mature atmosphere. Dim lighting and calming background music are playing. All the previous customers were female. There are three 4-seater tables and two private rooms at the back, and I was guided to one of the private rooms. For lunch, they offer "Natural Yam Tororo Set Meal" or "Raw Natural Yam Tororo Set Meal". There are several main options. The raw natural yam tororo has less broth and a stronger stickiness compared to the regular natural yam tororo. I ordered the "Bakudan" Raw Natural Yam Tororo Set Meal (¥1200 excluding tax). The main dish is a bowl with natto, tuna, okra, pickled daikon, etc., topped with tororo, soft-boiled egg, miso soup, salad, and two side dishes. I placed the tororo and soft-boiled egg on top of the bowl and enjoyed it. The raw natural yam tororo is incredibly sticky, more like "thick" than "smooth"! It's not easy to find tororo with such a strong stickiness, so I was delighted with this set meal. It feels like they use luxurious natural yam! Other than the tororo, the taste was honestly average, but I believe the restaurant's atmosphere and the experience of tasting raw natural yam tororo make it worth a visit. I think this is a restaurant that women, in particular, would enjoy.

I used this restaurant for lunch with my senior. He seems to like yams, and kept saying YZK, so it must be a good place for that. The location feels a bit off, and there aren't many customers. It's a bit pricey and the portion size is small, so it gives off a stylish, female-oriented vibe. Not really satisfying for men. The taste is delicious.

The staff seemed understaffed and a bit intimidating with their bold piercings. I went there craving tororo soba, but they had run out for lunch. I ended up getting chicken soboro don instead. The grated tororo had a sticky texture, while the regular one was watery. The croquette tasting set was delicious! The pork shabu salad was tasty but shockingly small in portion. The food took a long time to be served, and the drinks were also quite pricey for the amount given. Overall, it was a bit disappointing.

"Chicken minced meat" topped with grated yam set meal for ¥1,000! The menu doesn't have pictures, so it's a bit difficult to choose. I arrived at exactly 12 o'clock, but the staff told me, "The store opens at 12," and made me wait a bit. Maybe they meant midnight? This time I chose regular grated yam, but I'd like to try the "raw grated yam" with less output and strong stickiness if I have the chance. Thank you for the meal!"

I visited for lunch. The interior of the restaurant was calm and clean, but it was crowded with many people! I ordered the whitebait and grated yam set meal. The combination of whitebait and grated yam was exquisitely delicious! I will visit for dinner next time!

This is a place where you can enjoy a quiet and leisurely meal. You can have a delicious meal for around 1000 to 1300 yen, including salad, miso soup, eggs, tororo, and rice. Eating tororo with rice is very tasty and filling. It was really delicious.
