Visited Azabu Kuni-ji, a popular drinking spot with a wide variety of small dishes. Today, we opted for a la carte dishes, but they also offer course menus. The menu includes Japanese-style seafood dishes, fried foods, and Sakurayukke, all of which are delicious. For our finale, we ordered the pork cutlet curry, which was quite filling in its normal size. There were also smaller sizes available for the curry. The pork cutlet was tasty! Thank you for the meal.

I encountered the best food ever! The medium fatty tuna cutlet. If you come here, you must try this! Gonji-san's fish, meat, hot pot, fried food, and even dessert ice cream are all delicious. I think you won't get tired of going there every day. I enjoyed the alcohol and food luxuriously.

There are counter seats and table seats available. When you order, they bring the dishes individually instead of on a large plate. Everything you eat is delicious! Recommended menu items: grilled shiitake mushrooms, and rolled omelette with broth.

Limited to 5 meals a day, the lunch special "Japanese beef kalbi stew set" ❤️ The roughly cut large "potatoes" are fluffy ❤️ The large "carrots" and the sweetness of the "onions" are irresistible ❤️ The slightly larger pieces of "Japanese beef kalbi" are tender and full of flavor, so delicious ❤️ The set meal comes with "simmered beans," "thick fried tofu," "spinach ohitashi," and three side dishes, along with miso soup ❤️ I added "+100 yen" for toppings, and the additional "mentaiko" made the rice even more enjoyable ❤️ After the meal, I also had a "cold brew coffee" which was a delightful end to the meal ❤️

I found this place in a magazine and also got recommended by a friend, so I made a reservation for the 7500 yen course in advance. They were taking good COVID-19 precautions, which made me feel safe to enjoy my evening. The food was all satisfying and the drinks paired well with it. I definitely plan on visiting again.

Thanks to the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, the restaurant has shifted its opening hours to start early, making it perfect for starting drinking on holidays. However, before I knew it, I ended up staying for over 4 and a half hours, surprising even myself! I set a new record for the longest stay! I can't believe how long I've been sitting here! Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo of the horse sashimi! I drank too much, haha. From a hygiene perspective, the dishes are served individually. Tomato and onion salad. Assorted sashimi. A splendid button shrimp. The horse sashimi came in two types, lean meat and mane. I asked for the scallop and asparagus sauté with truffle added! Did I also order the beef tendon stew? Haha. As a service, I received strawberry ice cream and hojicha (roasted green tea). The atmosphere is comfortable, and everything I ate was great. I unintentionally set a new record for the longest time spent here! Haha. I will definitely come back again! Thank you for the meal!

I stopped by a small izakaya that I happened to come across at night. It's not a storefront, so it took a bit of courage to enter, but I decided to go in. I had some sake and enjoyed a few small dishes to go with it. The food was all well-prepared and went really well with the sake. The stylish counter-style seating was nice. It's a good place for a date or for drinks with colleagues.

Kagurazaka? I was going to a stylish Japanese restaurant in Iidabashi, but despite the somewhat high prices, the portions were quite small, so it was a bit of a letdown! lol And with all the New Year's parties at the end of January, I ended up getting stood up by TANUKICHI twice, so I had no choice but to come here... But actually, it's been a while and it's a good opportunity for New Year's greetings, right? lol When you're hungry, those large plates of Japanese home-cooked dishes in front of you are an easy decision, right? The simmered dish was delicious with a Kansai-style dashi emphasis, healthy and tasty~♡ The simmered sardines were also delicious~♡ So satisfying☆ The highball and Hakushu whiskey are available, and I'm happy with the variety of Japanese whiskey♫ Personally, I also like the glass of wine here♫ The sesame mackerel was on a level that even a Hakata native would praise~ The ginkgo nuts are salty but good lol And we asked them to grill some edamame for us♫ The president's mixed dish was upgraded as always, is this definitely not the regular portion? A service? Thank you♡ lol Oh, it's definitely Gonji-san♡ I love the cozy atmosphere here♡ Thank you for the meal~☆ Please take care of us in 2020 as well! (*´꒳`*)

This year, I had a meal with someone who I met and was grateful for, in preparation for tomorrow. We went to a restaurant run by a trusted chef. We enjoyed delicious and spicy motsunabe (tripe hot pot) and finished with thin noodles. Just these dishes made for a fulfilling dining experience. The motsunabe was especially tasty because of the flavorful soup, and the thin noodles as the finishing touch were excellent. I hope next year will be the best year yet.

Every time I taste the gentle and healthy flavors of the obanzai dishes, I can't help but think to myself, "I've always wished there was a place like this in Azabu-Juban!" The three carefully crafted obanzai dishes, along with the fluffy white rice and tea, all for 2500 yen! And this is Azabu-Juban at night, mind you. The cost performance is amazing, yet the dishes have delicate and rich flavors. The owner is kind, and the atmosphere of the restaurant is wonderful. The post-meal fruits, tea, and a sip of freshly brewed coffee are all delightful. (I bet this place will become popular and reservations will be hard to get...) I enjoy my solo meal while thinking about how this place is great for women dining alone or with friends. I hope this place becomes popular, but at the same time, I hope it doesn't. It's that kind of place. Please don't raise the rating on Tabelog! (In my opinion, it's a 5-star place)

I think that this restaurant in Azabu-Juban, which is evolving by accurately grasping the current atmosphere, is one of the few in the area. This is largely due to the owner, Mr. Gunji's personality and eagerness to learn, which have borne fruit in the current state of the restaurant. It has been featured in magazines like Tokyo Calendar, attracting a slightly younger and wider range of customers. They have stopped serving lunch and focused on dinner, which I think is the right decision. The menu is extensive, offering a variety of dishes such as obanzai, sashimi, horse meat, pork, chicken, beef, whale, and more, tailored to the customer's preferences. They also have a wide selection of rice bowls, udon, and hot pots for the finishing touch. Considering the effort required to prepare such a menu, I am truly impressed. Today, I had the marinated sardines in plum oil (a classic and delicious dish), sea urchin tofu (the white sea urchin is sweeter), Kamo eggplant dengaku (chosen by the eggplant-loving wife), truffle dashimaki tamago (chosen by the truffle-loving wife), and mixed fry (a combination of horse mackerel fry, scallop fry, and shrimp fry). Recently, they offer three types of champagne and three types of red and white wine in the same wine glass shape, including chilled sake. I think they have settled on this approach considering the changing preferences of customers, the changing customer base, and efficiency. And even in the midst of trial and error, Mr. Gunji's friendly and modest character never comes off as unpleasant. Japanese cuisine in Azabu-Juban. I want to try various dishes and drinks. For that, the restaurant I recommend the most is Azabu Gunji.

I want to introduce my favorite restaurant to my favorite person. However, this time I showed a different side of myself by ordering two different types of curry for comparison. After drinking a lot, I indulged in late-night curry full of carbohydrates! Of course, the next day I was bloated, but I asked for a small portion of rice! My weight actually went down! It's selfish of me to want the restaurant to be open on Sundays as well. Thank you for the meal! I look forward to visiting again!

Shop: Located on the second floor of a building near Roppongi on the Juuban shopping street. Upon entering, you will find a cozy area with table seats, and further back, counter seats surrounding the kitchen. On the counter, there are several appetizing large plates of side dishes. The chef behind the counter is cheerful and very friendly, making customers feel relaxed and enjoying themselves. Food: It seems to be Kyushu cuisine. Starting with the large plates of side dishes on the counter, you can enjoy various delicious items mainly from the à la carte menu. We started with sesame mackerel sashimi and horse meat tartare. The main dish was beef cutlet, and we finished with a sea urchin and salmon roe rice bowl. Dishes that can be shared and served are pre-divided for you. There also seems to be an omakase course available for consultation. Drinks: There is a wide selection of drinks from Japanese sake to shochu. As it's getting colder, hot sake is the best choice. Overall: It's a cozy and unpretentious atmosphere, suitable for women dining alone. It feels like Wakako would enjoy the delicious food and matching drinks with a "pshoo" sound. One thing to note is that there was no price indication on the à la carte menu. Are they all market price? Based on the total amount, I don't think they are too expensive, but it still takes a bit of courage to choose without price indication. Having prices listed would make the dining experience more reassuring.

Where should we go? When you don't have a specific genre or dish in mind, it's always safe to go to a place that is consistently good. This place has a great atmosphere, a good mix of customers, and is always just the right amount of busy. The menu offers seasonal dishes, like sesame mackerel with fresh salmon roe on top, and the asparagus seems especially delicious this time. The classic dishes are always comforting, and my companion loves the lightly salted tendon stew. I always order the horse meat without fail. They have a good variety of dishes, from raw to cooked, with a nice balance of flavors. The drink selection is also diverse, with options to pair with both Japanese and Western dishes. It's a place I want to keep coming back to. I hope they continue to do well, but I also hope they don't become too popular and hard to get into!笑

The restaurant was thoughtful and nice. I would like to visit again.

I can feel that they put a lot of effort into each dish! With such a large menu, it's hard to pinpoint anything particularly outstanding, but overall it's pretty good.

Sea urchin in a box ♡ Perfect sea urchin that doesn't get mushy even after time passes! It's best to eat it with seaweed, salt, and wasabi! The broth is delicious, so I even finish it all up in dishes like motsunabe and beef tendon stew. ✨

Scallops, sautéed asparagus with truffle oil, baby corn, and fried chicken with Oyama chicken.

Lunch with "Japanese beef galbi stew elegant set meal" ♥(*≧∀≦*) Miso soup ♥ rice ♥ side dishes are also fulfilling ♥ The elegant set meal has a refined Japanese taste ♥ It was delicious ♥(〃´o｀)=3 ===========

Second visit. Conclusion, still delicious. Absolutely delicious. Visited with a friend and we both appreciated being able to have our dishes served separately, just like last time. The truffle-flavored rolled omelette was incredibly delicious. We ordered a variety of dishes at once, but I think they were considerate in the order they were served. Starting with cold vegetables and sashimi, followed by warm meats and fish, and then broth-based dishes, I felt their thoughtfulness. A restaurant I want to visit again and again.
