The mixed fry set meal (shrimp, smelt, scallop) for 950 yen is recommended for lunch. I think the quality of the oil is probably guaranteed. It's irresistible to dip in the sauce and enjoy the hot and crispy texture. It feels like it's even more delicious than a few years ago, maybe because it's been a while since I last came. The sashimi is also well-prepared.

I happened to come across this place while walking in Hiroo and decided to have lunch there. The sign had a lot of character, with a message like "It's lunchtime" written on the back. I was seated at a table and the service was friendly. The restaurant had a lot of bottles of sake and had a seafood izakaya vibe. The tables were made of OSB plywood and the chairs were steel benches, giving it an industrial American feel. The walls and ceiling were covered in plaster, giving it a European vibe. I'm not sure if it was meant to be Mediterranean-style, like Ibiza, known for its hippie culture and dance music. I ordered the seafood bowl for 1000 yen. The TV was on, showing a talk show about some royal family. The tuna was good, and the yellowtail was small but went well with the vinegared rice. I thought the miso soup would just have seaweed and wheat gluten floating in it, but it also had bean sprouts and clams at the bottom. I wonder where this attention to detail comes from. It seemed like a unique restaurant, not just your typical seafood izakaya.

Located on the second floor of a building in Hiroo Shotengai, this restaurant may be a bit hard to spot from the outside. They offer lunch sets like fried dishes and grilled fish for a reasonable price of 950 yen, and the side dishes like sashimi are also quite satisfying. The rice portion can be chosen from large, medium, or small, and you can even get free refills upon request. Overall, a very satisfying meal.

Every table orders the sashimi platter, which is excellent. It is fresh, generous in portion, and delicious. The selection of Japanese sake is also impressive, including premium options at reasonable prices. This restaurant, located in Hiroo, offers a balanced service at a reasonable price point, making it a valuable dining option. Thank you for the meal!

After finishing work, I casually stopped by a seafood izakaya. The menu was extensive and I had a hard time deciding. Right away, they served oysters as a complimentary dish! Delicious! I also had sashimi platter, tuna cheek (photo), octopus karaage, shishamo, grilled salmon belly, and more. Even though I went near closing time, I was completely satisfied in just over an hour! Next time, I'll go at a more leisurely pace! #OneHourOneBottleChallenge

I ate too much! There was no daily special today, but since it was my first time at the restaurant, I went for a classic style. I ordered the grilled salmon set meal for 880 yen. The portion size was generous for the price, with two side dishes and furikake. The skin was crispy and delicious, leaving a good impression. Thank you for the meal.

A favorite restaurant that I don't want to share. Located in Tokyo with great value for money. They have a variety of Japanese sake. I hope they can overcome the challenges of the pandemic.

The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. The prices were reasonable and the portion sizes were generous. Overall, a great dining experience.

I've recently become obsessed with sake. I get drunk quickly though. Hot sake is delicious too. Having fish with sake! Am I an old man? I often go for lunch in Hiroo, but not so much at night. When I searched for sake, this place came up. It was quite crowded without a reservation, but we managed to get in. The menu for snacks was extensive and reasonably priced. The sashimi was delicious. Salted fish roe, pickles, croquettes... just really tasty dishes. It's not typical of Hiroo, more like a cozy, local feel. These kinds of places are important and necessary in a city, right? When ordering sake, ask for a sake list! They have a variety of brands from all over Japan, but if you go late at night, the labels are all sold out one after another! With this many brands, it would be nice if they had a tasting menu for comparison. I enjoyed the sake!

Today, I would like to introduce a nearby fish set meal restaurant that is popular among those who work in Hiroo. The name of the restaurant is "Ibisa," although it has no relation to the Spanish island of Ibiza. One of the things people look for in a popular fish set meal restaurant is variety. It can get boring if the menu is always the same. However, at Ibisa, you can choose from grilled fish, sashimi, rice bowls, and more. They also offer a set menu with sashimi and a main dish that changes daily, which is a nice option. When I visited at 1 pm, some items were already sold out, as it seems many people in Hiroo are quite greedy eaters. They offer extra-large portions for those who eat a lot, as well as lighter options for those with smaller appetites. I had the grilled mackerel set meal, which was simple but satisfying. It came with rice, miso soup, tofu, pickles, and the only thing missing was some furikake to sprinkle on the rice. Overall, I think a regular fish set meal is just fine for a nearby restaurant. This was my review of a desired fish set meal restaurant in the Hiroo area.

This was my first time visiting, but as the sign says, it's a seafood izakaya. They offer sashimi in three or five piece sets at reasonable prices. When I mentioned that I wanted to try surume squid and octopus, they made a three-piece set with their recommended item added in. They also have other dishes like fried saury with plum and seafood hot pot. They have a great selection of drinks too! I will definitely be coming back. Thank you for the meal.

After strolling through the Hiroo shopping street, I felt like having a drink and some Japanese food as usual, so I searched on Tabelog and visited a place that was easy to find but a bit confusing to enter because it was on the second floor. I started with a beer (Kirin brand, specific type unknown) of course. The sashimi was recommended, so I ordered bonito, but it was mediocre in both color and taste. Perhaps it was because it was a Thursday or just bad timing. Moving on to the next dish, I tried grilled crab with ponzu sauce, shrimp-filled water dumplings, and fried tofu from Tochio, all of which were comforting and had a familiar taste. The beer went down smoothly. There was a variety of Juyondai sake lined up, so it might be worth trying with sake as well. The chairs were a bit uncomfortable, maybe to prevent customers from lingering too long. Next time I visit, I hope to find a recommended and fresh sashimi option.

To Mr. Ibisa. I was invited to a friend's birthday party and visited. This time, it was a private reservation. There were a few small children, but they were free to run around because it was a private reservation. It is said to be a restaurant with delicious fish. Various appetizers, menus for children such as fried chicken, rice balls, and so on are prepared. For adults, the menu is centered around fish. The sashimi platter features fresh sashimi on a large plate. There is also a wide variety of shochu, sake, and other alcoholic beverages. We were able to enjoy a lively party without worrying about the surroundings. Of course, all the dishes were delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I rarely go to Hiroo, but happened to go there for work without any lunch information. As I walked through a shopping street from the station, I saw a ramen shop with a small line and a few scattered eateries. I stumbled upon a Japanese restaurant and decided to give it a try. The restaurant on the second floor of a building was small and cozy, with counter seats facing the window. The menu had a few options, and I was intrigued by the daily special set meal (930 yen). It came with mixed fry (shrimp, smelt, salmon) and sashimi. Each dish was delicious! The sashimi was fresh yellowtail, and the fried items were clearly cooked in clean oil. The price for this quality was excellent. The furikake on the table was a nice touch too. I will definitely come back to Hiroo for this restaurant.

I ordered the seafood bowl (served with pickles, tofu, and miso soup) for 980 yen. I was drawn in by the outdoor sign and decided to give it a try. Hiroo doesn't have a reputation for seafood, so I was curious. Even during a quiet lunchtime, there were a few customers. The portion was just right for a light meal, with a normal amount of rice. On top of the ample rice were yellowtail, tuna, octopus, flying fish roe, and whitebait. The freshness was quite good! The miso soup contained seaweed, bean sprouts, and clams. Thank you for the meal!

It is a small restaurant located on the second floor of a small building. Although it may be hard to find, there is a sign on the street so you won't miss it. The interior has around four tables that can seat four people each, as well as a small counter. It is recommended to make a reservation for weekend evenings as it tends to get crowded. In the evenings, you can enjoy delicious fish and sake at this restaurant. They source sake from various regions in Japan such as Yamagata, Tochigi, and Shimane, with a focus on the "Juyondai" sake from Yamagata. It is a very expensive sake, limited to one serving per group and quite pricey, but it is delicious. The dishes include a sashimi platter with five types of fish (1,420 yen), featuring bonito, squid, cured mackerel, flounder, and aoyagi. The cured mackerel has a light homemade pickled flavor that is tasty. The aoyagi was a good size and well-prepared. The salt-grilled red snapper is also delicious. While other restaurants may offer horse mackerel or hokke, a restaurant that serves such delicious fish in a country surrounded by the sea is wonderful. The weakness lies in the lack of variety in rice dishes, with seafood fried rice and seafood fried noodles lacking in seafood flavor. The timing of the dishes and service can be slow as cooking and serving are handled by two staff members. It is advisable to order dishes that can be served quickly, such as eihire, and enjoy sake leisurely. The focus of this restaurant is on sake rather than the food. It is recommended for sake lovers. - - - Visit for lunch on May 31, 2013, with additional notes on lunch - - - Lunch options include fish simmered dishes, fried dishes, sashimi set meals, and seafood bowls ranging from 850 yen to 950 yen. After 12 pm, the restaurant gets full quickly. During one lunch visit, I had the 850 yen sashimi set meal. The sashimi included yellowtail and bonito, both fresh and delicious. The meal also came with a side dish of cold tofu and pickles. The rice portion is generous and can satisfy adult male diners, with the option for extra rice if needed. The miso soup contains seaweed, bean sprouts, and clams, embodying the flavors of a seafood specialty restaurant. There is furikake on the table to ensure you can finish the rice even after the main dishes are gone. On May 31, 2013, I had the seafood bowl, which was served with vinegared rice, providing a pleasant touch. The portion was substantial with a variety of sashimi and simmered clams, offering a range of flavors.
