If you notice, it has been a year and a half since my last visit. This is a popular bistro in Nihonbashi, "Fujiya Honten". It has become so popular that it now has 3 stores in Shibuya, 1 store in Sangenjaya, and the momentum seems unstoppable. Located about a 5-minute walk from Ningyocho, it is a street-level store. The first floor is a standing bar type in a complete U shape, the second floor has table seats and a counter, and the third floor has terrace seats. It is a long vertical layout. I visited during the freezing winter last time, and at that time, I sat at the counter on the second floor, not knowing that there was a third floor. This time we sat on the third floor. Surprisingly, this floor has Platinum seats (free), with a roof covered with vinyl that can handle rainy weather. The menu is à la carte style, read with a smartphone. As always, with a wide variety of items, we hesitated a lot but ended up ordering around the items marked with a red circle, including the famous chicken liver mousse, sardine spring rolls, sea urchin and summer vegetable bruschetta, famous squid cream croquette, tofu Sicilian anchovy cold tofu from Ningyocho Futaba, and swordtip squid and chili pepper tripe. Since we arrived early and the place was not crowded, the service was quick. The sardine spring rolls appeared quite quickly, served with a bagna cauda sauce. The sardines wrapped in fat rolls were not fishy, with the best fatty texture, and very delicious. The sweetness of paprika and the bitterness of treviso make it refreshing. The chicken liver mousse appeared with a cute ice cream-like look. It is about the length of my finger, so if you want to eat a lot, it might be good to order two. Not only the cuteness of the appearance but also the smooth melting and airy finish are points. The bruschetta, a baguette crisply baked with marinated vegetables and sea urchin. It's not the amount of sea urchin for 550 yen. The summer vegetables and the well-balanced sea urchin blend well. The squid cream croquette was beyond what I had imagined. It's all black. I can't grasp what kind of dough it is because everything is black, but the surface is crispy, and inside, there is a heavy squid ink cream and plenty of squid. Even without sauce, you can feel the richness similar to crab miso, but it's also good with a spicy sauce. The anchovy cold tofu was also delicious. The buttery taste in the back and the strong anchovy saltiness make a very good combination. I'm happy that there is plenty of dried baby sardines. I don't eat cold tofu much, but with this modern version, I can eat a lot. However, the tripe, which was the last dish, unfortunately fell short. The tripe had a lingering smell and lacked seasoning. Hmm, I couldn't eat this. For the closing pasta, I had the Sicilian-style oil pasta with sardines, inspired by the delicious sardines. You can feel the warm taste of an Italian home. Although it lacks delicacy, it is still delicious. It's also good that there is plenty of sardine meat. So, after eating and drinking, it was just under 10,000 yen. With good cost performance and a nice atmosphere, as well as unique menu items, sitting on the terrace seat will make a happy end to your day. However, I was concerned about the mysterious rule of being rushed to make the last order even though there was still an hour left before the closing time. We arrived about 10 minutes before the reservation time, but the time was calculated from that 10 minutes before. It's too early, no matter how you look at it. You can stay until the promised two hours, but it's not a good feeling to be rushed. Even so, I think I'll come back again. Thank you for the meal.
