I walked 5 minutes from Todoroki Station on the Tokyu Toyoko Line and used the table seats on the 2nd floor of the store. I ordered the following: - Dote-yaki (3 pieces for 600 yen) - Special meat assortment (3 types) (950 yen) - Special seafood assortment (5 types) (1,280 yen) - Echalote with garlic miso - Fried potato skewers The sauce was in individual packets instead of the usual shared container, probably due to the impact of the coronavirus. I thought it was a casual and easy-to-use restaurant. I would like to visit again if I have the chance. Thank you for the meal.

After watching rakugo at Persimmon Hall with a friend, we visited this warm and welcoming restaurant in Osaka Temmangu. The skewers were delicious, with Osaka-style watery sauce. The yudofu topped with grated yam and kombu was exquisite. I enjoyed gulping down a glass of Premium Malt. And to finish off, we had some udon noodles.

"Shichifukujin Toritsudaigaku" is a kushikatsu and izakaya restaurant located a few minutes up the Kakinokizaka from Toritsudaigaku Station on the Tokyu Toyoko Line. I visited with a friend on a Sunday afternoon around 5 pm. There was only one other group of two customers when we arrived, but more customers came in later and the place was almost full. We started with some draft beer and daikon radish and egg from the oden menu. It seems like the concept is inspired by kushikatsu restaurants in Osaka, and the oden was also delicious with a focus on the broth. The daikon radish and egg were particularly tasty. We then ordered the kushikatsu omakase set with five skewers including pork belly, scallop, shrimp, and yam. The kushikatsu was incredibly delicious. We also had doteyaki, which was a rare find in Tokyo. We ordered plenty of Hoppy and lemon sours, and the total bill came to just over 7,000 yen. It's a great place to enjoy kushikatsu in a casual setting."

I went to Toritsudaigaku Station for a change. During the state of emergency, restaurants are only open until 8 pm, so I can only drink on weekends, and today is my chance. I suddenly felt like eating kushikatsu, so I went up the hill towards Persimmon Hall to a place called "Shichifukujin". It was my first visit, and they not only serve kushikatsu but also have delicious looking oden with daikon. I started with a beer, and the doteyaki was delicious. The three kinds of pork fillet on skewers had a strange smell like it was spoiled... is this normal? I switched to a highball and finished with a seafood platter. The shrimp was delicious. There's also a Tonkatsu Tanaka near Toritsudaigaku, but this place is more relaxing for drinking. It's a shame about the pork fillet...

Today, I went to Yakumo Library to donate some manga, and on the way back, I found this shop nearby offering takeout because of the season. They had a 20% discount for takeout orders inside the shop. Outside the shop, they were offering 4 pieces of deep-fried skewers and a fried horse mackerel for a coin. I got the fried horse mackerel to go, and enjoyed it at home today.

In the evening, feeling hungry already, I searched for an izakaya where I could start drinking early and found this place. It's a rare gem as it opens at 4 pm near the metropolitan university. I enjoyed the cabbage appetizer without any sauce, just munching on it as it is. I was indecisive with the extensive menu, but the staff recommended a platter of three items. I ordered their recommended dishes: Doteni Daikon, Doteyaki, and a skewer assortment. The Doteyaki, with its tender beef tendons in a rich miso sauce, was delicious. The skewer assortment included pork loin, lotus root, and shrimp, all lightly fried and easy to eat. The pork loin was well-cooked and satisfying. I also added katsu, scallops, and pork loin skewers. I ended my meal with a small portion of curry rice, which was light and had soft onions and carrots. It was a perfect way to finish off the meal after enjoying the skewers. The izakaya had a lively atmosphere with many regulars from the neighborhood. It was a delightful dining experience.

This is my third visit here. I first tried the delicious food at the main store in Temma, Osaka, and have been coming back since then. I find that the atmosphere at Temma makes the kushikatsu taste even better. The tomato draft beer is delicious, and I always end up drinking it whenever I come here.

Blog ⇒ On the Clouds♪ The other day, I took a stroll around the area near Todai-Daigaku Station after a long time. I crossed Meguro Street and visited the Higashine Kitano Shrine to pray. I extended my walk to the Meguro Ward Citizen Campus Park and decided to have a light drink at the "Shichifukujin Todai Store" here. Initially, that wasn't the plan, but when I looked at the menu outside the shop, the authentic aroma caught my attention! It's a kushikatsu restaurant, so it's natural, but the menu items other than kushikatsu were also impressive. Also, the opening hours from 16:00 were the deciding factor! It may seem like a small thing, but that one hour made a big difference. If they had opened at 17:00, I wouldn't have visited. I'm really glad they were open! Since it was early, the shop was not crowded, and I was able to enjoy my drink in a relaxed atmosphere, which increased my liking for the place. I felt that the taste was authentic. There's a reason why the original is from Osaka. It felt more genuine than Tanaka-san's (mystery). The "suji" and "dote" dishes also reminded me of the nostalgic flavors of the west. And, it's reasonably priced for the Meguro area! It may not be as cheap as Osaka, but it's a place where you can drink without worries. The service is decent, and it's a casual and nice place to be. Overall, I think it's a restaurant that can satisfy people from Kansai. Service: ☆☆☆☆☆ Food: ☆☆☆☆☆☆ Cost-Performance: ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ ※ If there are 10 stars in a row, it's a perfect score!

I heard that you can enjoy authentic Osaka-style kushikatsu here, so I came to try it out! Instead of the usual appetizer, they serve shredded cabbage, but the kushikatsu takes a bit of time to prepare, so I started with the Doteyaki (3 skewers, ¥450), which are beef tendons simmered in miso sauce. There are tender and chewy parts, and the miso sauce has a rich flavor with a hint of sesame. The kushikatsu range from ¥100 to ¥300 each, including beef, tendons, kisu fish, horse mackerel, sweet potato, yam, asparagus, egg, pork belly, and even shrimp cake (not on a skewer). They are coated in a crispy batter and served with a tasty Worcestershire sauce. For dessert, I had a sweet chestnut kushikatsu, which was delicious and warm. The baumkuchen came with maple syrup and whipped cream, and had a comforting texture and sweet taste. Overall, including my drink, the total came to around ¥3,000. Each skewer may seem small, but before I knew it, I was pleasantly full. I give the chestnut and baumkuchen a rating of 4.1 stars!

In the early evening, the best place to have a drink is definitely here. I sat at the counter and ordered a Premium beer. There was a plate of cabbage cut into chunks in front of me. Can I eat this? It felt relaxing. I enjoyed nibbling on the cabbage while sipping my beer, feeling content in my solitude. At home, on lazy afternoons or when I don't feel like cooking, I often peel cabbage and eat it raw, or microwave it if I feel like it. My body composition might consist mostly of cabbage, haha. The standard set of skewers included scallops, lotus root, chicken breast, shrimp, and pork fillet. I added beef, octopus, and garlic. The skewers were lightly breaded with a crispy texture. The pork fillet in the standard set stood out in terms of flavor and satisfaction compared to the other skewers. The shrimp was also quite good. The chicken breast was refreshing and tasty. Of course, I love lotus root. The variety and quality of the standard set was impressive, almost overwhelming. Each pair at the counter had their own sauce dish. No double dipping allowed. I also tried the mustard that came with it, like the one in a natto pack. The skewers were fried to perfection. I had to leave quickly for a live performance at Persimmon Hall. The "doteyaki" also looked delicious. The restaurant seemed to be full of Osaka vibes. It seemed to be a branch of a famous skewer restaurant originating in Setagaya. There was also a tempting "beef tongue oden" on the menu. But I wondered if it was worth coming all the way to Tachikawa for that. I was in a dilemma.

Tachidai, Shichifukujin~~❣️ Up up up up, fried food paradise is here✨ Shichifukujin is a popular restaurant in Osaka Tenma, with branches only in Koko and Omori in Tokyo. Rare. They use original sauce from Osaka that has a sharp taste with their fried foods. It goes well with anything. Boiled eggs, beef tendons, potato fries, pork fillet, tulips, all become a heavenly delight when fried here. When I think of Osaka sauce, as a Kanto person, I imagine something like a thick okonomiyaki sauce. But this sauce is more like Worcestershire sauce. It's different from just Worcestershire sauce. For more details, ask at the restaurant. Today's highlight for me was the potato fries. I've been looking for the triangular potato fries that used to be sold at the old butcher's deli section for 10 yen each. I love them. I thought they were nowhere to be found. I'm so happy to find them here in a neighboring station. I couldn't help but order three. So delicious. I want to eat about 10 more. But I want to try other skewers too, so I'll stick to three for today. Also, they have shrimp mochi, pork fillet, chicken breast, beef tendons, boiled eggs, chicken meatballs, tulips, cheese, chestnuts, croquettes, and baumkuchen. They're all fried. You might think that chestnuts or baumkuchen don't need to be fried and should be eaten as they are, right? However, try eating them fried. You'll also think, "Thank you for frying them!" (Prediction) Furthermore, they have fried chicken halves too!!!! Perfectly fried☆ Not burnt at all, with crispy skin and moist and tender meat inside. With the fried chicken half boom, we now encounter various fried chicken halves. Some have breasts or chicken breast that are too bland or starting to get tough. But all the fried chicken halves at Shichifukujin are perfect. The taste, tenderness, and frying are all spot on. After eating a lot at the restaurant, I even asked for some to take home. When reheated at home, they were still delicious and tender. (Have you eaten enough already?) I used to live around here, so walking up the slope from the station towards Meguro City Campus brings back nostalgic memories, and I can't help but feel warm seeing the development of the Tachidai area. I wonder why I used to find this slope so difficult back then. Walking it now, it's quite easy. Maybe there are more and longer slopes in Jiyugaoka. Living in Jiyugaoka really trains you. Walk up the slope and enjoy some fried food! #skewers

Counter seats and tables are available on the first floor, while the second floor has tables and sofa seats for larger groups. This lively and down-to-earth kushikatsu restaurant is rare in the Kanto region, with kushikatsu being fried one after another. They also offer a wide variety of side dishes!

Actually, there is a branch of "Kushikatsu Shichifukujin" in Tokyo, and all the menu items were delicious! The Seven Lucky Skewers, Ebi Mochi, Special Assortment, Doteyaki, and Dotegaki Oysters are a must-try!

Cost performance is amazing!! I was very satisfied. Highly recommended after visiting the public bath.

I especially love the sofa seats. The drinks are delicious, and highballs are the best. Sitting at the counter and eating freshly fried food right in front of you is really nice. I enjoy coming here for a drink alone or with a group. The food is so good that you can keep eating. The ingredients are big and tasty! I will continue to visit.

It was delicious.

The taste of Temma is delicious.

I found a great restaurant (o^^o) The food was delicious and the staff were wonderful♪ Thank you very much (o^^o)

The pork cutlet lunch set for 1,000 yen was okay.
