I was happy to find a set that includes onigiri for lunch. I decided to try the one labeled "popular" with corned beef. There are 11 different types of onigiri to choose from, so it was a tough decision! The rice is Niigata-grown "Tsukiarari," the nori is premium sushi nori from Ariake, and the salt is natural seawater. They really pay attention to the details when it comes to onigiri. The set also comes with a side dish and a hearty pork miso soup. This is definitely what I want to eat for lunch! After finishing the meal, I felt a warm sense of satisfaction thinking "that was delicious."

A cozy little place where I only intended to have one drink but ended up staying longer. I didn't plan on writing a lot, so there are few photos, but I tried various dishes. I was meeting a friend in Yushima, but I was running late, so I asked them to wait somewhere and kill time. Finally, when I arrived at the station and contacted them, they were already drinking here. I decided to have just one drink at the counter. As the name suggests, it's a Japanese food and wine restaurant. I started with a beer. I didn't take any photos, but the tuna skewers and shrimp tempura were all delicious. To match my friend, I had a second glass of Chardonnay white wine. I was planning to call it a night, but the lady who seemed to be the owner struck up a conversation and offered some pickles as a service. I couldn't resist having another glass, this time a Pinot Noir red wine. She was friendly and shared interesting stories with us. Apparently, they host various events like rakugo (comic storytelling) and recitals. I ended up having three glasses without realizing it. I would love to come back here whenever I feel like having wine.

This is an onigiri shop near Yushima Tenjin. You can have lunch for around 1000 yen. B lunch costs 1050 yen and includes side dishes, miso soup, corned beef, and salmon roe. A lunch comes with one onigiri, but if you choose B lunch, you get two onigiri. 1. Side dishes include tamagoyaki, karaage, and pickles. You can enjoy a variety of small dishes. 2. Miso soup has a gentle flavor with plenty of ingredients. 3. Onigiri: The corned beef is a popular choice, and the salmon roe has a generous amount. The onigiri itself is a bit firm and salty, recommended for those who enjoy a strong flavor. Recommended for those who like firm onigiri with a salty taste.

B lunch - 2 rice balls and 4 side dishes, with a serving of pork miso soup. It was my first time visiting this place, and it was a quiet atmosphere around 1:30 pm. You can choose from 11 different fillings for the rice balls. I chose the corned beef from Koshizuka and the mentaiko cream cheese. The hot pork miso soup was delicious. The corned beef flavor paired well with the rice, and the mentaiko cream cheese was a safe choice. However, one disappointing aspect was the rice itself, which seemed lacking in flavor and freshness, perhaps due to being cooked a while ago. The restaurant's website mentions that the rice is supposed to be glossy and shiny, but this time it fell short. The name "rice ball" doesn't hold up if the rice isn't tasty. Overall, it was a filling meal.

Onigiri Lunch Set 800 yen Today, I had lunch in Yushima. The hamburger restaurant that caught my attention yesterday had a long line again today, so I will try again tomorrow. Heading towards Yushima Station, I found a onigiri lunch set that caught my eye, so I decided to visit here. I entered at 11:48 AM, with no customers before me and 2 customers after me. I ordered the eggplant miso and koshi-tsuki corned beef onigiri. The order was served in about 7 minutes. The toppings were placed inside and on top of the onigiri. The onigiri was softly packed, so you have to be careful not to let it fall apart. The koshi-tsuki corned beef was a bit salty, with some parts being quite salty. On the other hand, the eggplant miso didn't have much saltiness. The kenchin soup was mainly made of root vegetables. There was cucumber, carrot, and daikon pickles. Anyway, the rice was delicious. It was a gentle lunch for the body, and I enjoyed it. Visited for lunch on October 27, 2022. Rating: 3.12

Yushima is an area with many nice Japanese restaurants that I love, but this place was also good. For lunch, they offer set meals as well as Lunch AB, which is a set of onigiri and side dishes. I chose the corned beef filling for my onigiri. It was my first time so I was debating whether to go with a standard filling, but the corned beef was delicious. The onigiri was soft and fluffy. Additionally, the miso soup was full of ingredients, and I also enjoyed the assorted side dishes and pickles.

I entered the restaurant as soon as it opened for lunch, but it quickly became full. I had the seafood chirashi set, which came with a hearty miso soup, white sesame tofu, dried radish, and pickles. Everything was incredibly delicious. I am so full now.

After visiting the plum festival at Yushima Tenjin, I stopped by this place. I had a delicious onigiri, a hearty pork miso soup, and five side dishes including fried chicken and pickles, all for under 1000 yen. Everything was so tasty! I will definitely come back here when I'm in Yushima again. Thank you for the meal!

■ I had lunch at the Japanese food and wine restaurant "Tanbo to Budou" located near the entrance of the Yushima Tenjin shrine. As the name suggests, this restaurant focuses on rice and wine. They offer lunch options as well as set meals for dinner, which is great. ■ I ordered the B set, which includes 2 onigiri, 4 side dishes, and miso soup, and added an extra onigiri. The onigiri were quite large, so 2 were enough, but I couldn't resist trying more with different fillings. The side dishes included tamagoyaki, karaage, ohitashi, and hijiki, along with a hearty miso soup. I chose onigiri with salmon, shirasu with sansho pepper, and the popular Koshibuka corned beef from Sendagi. The onigiri were freshly made after ordering, with perfectly cooked fluffy rice. They were delicious, especially for onigiri lovers. ■ I also ordered the "Passing Grade Pudding" from Yushima Tenjin, which was a creamy and melt-in-your-mouth type of pudding. With this, passing the test should be a piece of cake.

I rarely go out to Yushima. It was my first time in Yushima, and it was fun walking around while looking for the restaurant after getting off the subway. I went to a rice ball specialty store next to Yushima Tenjin for lunch. As soon as I entered, there was a glass case with rice balls, inari sushi, side dishes, and pudding. You can also take out. The clean interior of the store with white wood has about four counter seats and two-person table seats. ☆ Lunch set with 2 rice balls and side dishes - 950 yen You can choose from fillings such as plum, spicy cod roe, eggplant miso, corned beef, and simmered kelp for rice balls. It comes with 4 homemade side dishes, a hearty miso soup, and pickles. I chose plum and spicy cod roe. They use specially selected rice, seaweed from Ariake Sea, and high-quality sun-dried salt. The rice balls, hand-rolled by the owner, were fluffy but didn't fall apart, with an exquisite balance! They were delicious. Why do rice balls make you feel so happy? The store name "Tanbo to Budou" means enjoying rice and wine. They also have sake, not just wine. I didn't have the pudding this time, but the dessert is supervised by the owner's son, who is an Italian chef and restaurant producer. It must be delicious, so I will definitely try it next time! After lunch, I visited Yushima Tenjin, strolled through the former Iwasaki residence garden, and greeted the statue of Saigo Takamori at Shinobazu Pond. It was a fun walk. Thank you for the meal. Next time, I will come back to enjoy some drinks at night.

This is an izakaya near Yushima Tenjin, in what is known as Tenjinbashi. The restaurant name caught my attention, suggesting confidence in their rice and wine. I decided to stop by for lunch after shopping. The main menu item is rice balls, with limited special dishes available. As a seafood lover, I chose the seafood chirashi bowl without hesitation. While waiting, I noticed some elderly customers who seemed to be regulars, all ordering rice balls. So I decided to add a rice ball to my order as well. The dishes arrived, consisting of the seafood chirashi bowl, two side dishes, a hearty miso soup, and pickles. The side dishes were spinach with fried tofu and simmered hijiki seaweed, both delicious. The miso soup was filled with various ingredients. The seafood chirashi bowl had a variety of toppings, including tuna, egg, flying fish roe, cucumber, pickled ginger, and shiso leaves. Although there were no standout ingredients, it was overall delicious. I also ordered a rice ball with Koshi-zuka corned beef, which was made with high-quality rice, top-grade seaweed, and natural sea salt. The corned beef was delicious, but I felt the rice ball could have had a stronger flavor. Overall, the food was tasty but perhaps relied too much on the ingredients rather than the seasoning. The restaurant also offers a selection of wines, sake, and shochu. I left with a feeling that this place is a hidden gem, offering healthy and delicious dishes.

A Japanese restaurant located near Yushima Station. It is situated just off the Yushima Tenjin Shrine, down the Husband and Wife Slope towards the Kiridoshi-zaka, facing Kasuga Street. The interior of the restaurant is relatively small with counter and table seating. The decor is clean with white wood. The lunch menu offers a decent variety of options, including a special "Support for School Closure Lunch Menu" for children under 12. The "B Lunch" includes 2 rice balls, 4 side dishes, miso soup, and pickles. They use high-quality rice, seaweed from Ariake Sea, and sun-dried salt. Overall, the food is well-prepared, and the hearty miso soup is delicious. This restaurant may be convenient for visitors to the Yushima Tenmangu Shrine. Looking forward to seeing how they develop in the future.

The dishes prepared by the chef are well-made.

I went with my child and the staff were very kind to them, making it a very pleasant restaurant. We had onigiri and obanzai set meals, which had a comforting and satisfying taste for both parent and child.

The taste and appearance were both wonderful. The dishes were full of vegetables, gentle on the body, and each one was carefully prepared, leaving me completely satisfied. The interior of the restaurant is very clean and stylish. The miso soup and dried baby sardine rice ball served at the end were also delicious, and despite being full, I managed to finish them! I will definitely visit again.

Great! Will definitely come back!

The food and drinks were delicious!
