On Wednesday night, I was in the mood for some Frankie vibes. So, I visited "LiLy". When I entered the restaurant, it felt a bit small, but it had a cozy atmosphere that made women feel comfortable. I decided to go for the 4000 yen all-you-can-drink course. I started with a beer for a toast. Drinking beer on a Wednesday night is just the best. The food was all pretty good too. Before I knew it, my drinks were disappearing quickly. I hope I get the chance to revisit and enjoy that Frankie vibe again next time.

I visited this restaurant on a weekday night. I made a reservation about 3 days in advance. It's a little bit far from Gotanda Station, but not too far. If you walk straight on Sakurada Street with the east exit behind you (there is a big street that branches off, but don't go there), you will arrive. The course meal with all-you-can-drink for 4000 yen has a good amount of food. The food and drinks are quite delicious, and the atmosphere is great. I highly recommend it for a date in Gotanda. I'm sorry for not having any photos. Summary: I searched extensively for a restaurant in Gotanda for a date and found this place to be the best option for a 4000 yen budget with all-you-can-drink. I used it and had no complaints. The staff are friendly, the interior is stylish, and the food is well-prepared!

The shop has a nice atmosphere and everything is delicious. I will definitely be coming back.

I arrived at the restaurant a little before the reservation time, entered the store and gave my name, but they said there was no reservation. I thought there must have been a mistake, but it turns out I went to the wrong place. The restaurant I was looking for is Lily, a popular izakaya. I had mistakenly gone to a different Lily. The original Lily is located up the Sakura-dori street from the station, about a 7-8 minute walk. I ordered the famous potato salad and other dishes like chicken thigh, bacon with mushrooms, salad with soft-boiled egg, chicken liver, grilled hormone, boiled edamame, and yakitori. The overall cost performance was not bad, and the food was good for the price. It was just a bit disappointing that the restaurant was far from the station.

It's about a 10-minute walk from Gotanda station, located on Sakurada Street. There's a footbridge, so it might be a bit hard to find. This izakaya specializes in yakitori but everything else on the menu is delicious too. This was my third visit! It's always crowded. The salads are well-prepared with grilled mushrooms, bacon, and onsen tamago. The potato salad has a salty kick, making it a perfect side dish for drinks. The beer mugs are large and hearty, reflecting the owner's personality. You can tell the owner enjoys drinking too, given the variety of dishes that pair well with alcohol. Each dish has a special touch and is carefully crafted to complement drinks. The chicken thigh yakitori was tasty but too big for two people to share, so it was a bit of a mistake. I wish I had tried more items instead! Surprisingly, the fried horse mackerel and meat sushi were the highlights. Despite being a yakitori place, the variety of other dishes available made the dining experience highly satisfying. I will definitely visit again!

I knew about this place but never had the chance to visit until now... It was a really great restaurant (as others have mentioned, I wish I had come sooner). My husband, a friend, and I visited on a Saturday. We made a reservation but all the tables were full so we sat at the counter. The drinks are cheap! We had a bottle of rosé sparkling wine which was nicely chilled. My husband switched to shochu halfway through, and he was very satisfied with the generous amount for the price. The dishes come out surprisingly fast after ordering. We had: veggie sticks as a starter, a set of 5 assorted skewers (the beef harami was delicious), carrot shirishiri (with mentaiko butter flavor), boiled green leafy vegetables, potato salad (with pickled radish and topped with changja, quite rich in flavor), tsukune and 3 other skewers (my husband had these so I don't remember much), bacon, and croquettes. Since my husband switched to shochu, my friend and I had a bottle of red wine. The seasoning is on the rich side. The place is run by the owner and three male staff, and it really gives off a vibe of "manly cuisine." The owner looks like the person the restaurant is named after. It was a fun and enjoyable restaurant. We were also satisfied with the bill, and we'll definitely come back soon.

Stylish Yakitori Restaurant in Gotanda (^ε^)♪ Lily The other day, I visited Lily with a friend from the blog. It's located a little away from Gotanda Station, and the exterior is stylish, not what you would expect from a yakitori restaurant. We started with a draft beer, cheers! The beef tataki with marbled meat was tender and delicious. We enjoyed it with plenty of grainy mustard. The appetizers included a rich chicken soup, pickled daikon radish, and potato salad, which was a perfect combination. We also had dried squid and simmered Miura daikon, which felt like homemade dishes. For grilled items, we tried sand chicken liver, chicken thighs, chicken liver, chicken cartilage, bonjiri (tail meat), and chicken neck. All were delicious when grilled with salt. We then switched to barley shochu and enjoyed grilled chicken liver skewers and Caesar salad to balance out the vegetables. It was a great time with fun conversations, delicious drinks, and snacks. Thank you for the meal. Lily Address: 4-9-6 Higashi Gotanda, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, Horikawa Building 1F Phone: 03-5420-0540 Open daily from 17:00 to 24:00

The location of Gotanda Soba, a little off from Sakurada Street, may be a bit hard to find. Their organic wine is their specialty, and the Biodynamic wine here is a hit. It's not lacking in flavor, and you can truly enjoy the taste of the grapes. It was a great find after a long time. The yakitori is a bit on the larger side, but still within an acceptable range. The taste is definitely recommendable. They are also welcoming to families with children, and they have private rooms that can accommodate 7-8 people. The menu is diverse, so whether you're hungry or just want to drink, they have something for everyone. I will continue to use this place in the future!

Kushiyaki & Wine is a restaurant that primarily focuses on grilled skewers, with a variety of yakitori options. They also offer a selection of organic wines and a 2500 yen fixed menu. The reviewer ordered a bottle of La Siete Petite Sirah from Mexico after starting with a beer. The menu includes homemade garlic-infused olive oil with bread and shrimp fritters. The yakitori options include chicken such as shamo, yotsumi, seseri, and bonjiri. The reviewer recommends trying the skin and white liver with sauce. The prices are generally around 200 yen per skewer, and while the portions are on the smaller side, the yakitori made a great impression. The reviewer also tried beef and pork skewers like zubuton, sagari, mino, sukiyaki (meat rolls with spring onions and enoki mushrooms), and pork belly. The zubuton was fatty and the mino had a rubbery texture, falling short compared to the chicken skewers. Vegetable skewers included asparagus, eringi, okra, and shishito peppers, which the reviewer would have preferred grilled separately. As the restaurant got busier, the reviewer felt they may have ordered too much at once. Despite this, the staff provided lively and efficient service. Overall, the reviewer considers it a good restaurant, with attentive service to both regulars and solo customers like themselves.

It's been a while since I felt regret... or rather, I deeply regret my low antenna sensitivity! Our office moved to Gotanda about 10 months ago. I had been feeling out of place in the unfamiliar area below the Yamanote Line and neglected to search for good restaurants. Now, with the office moving again at the end of this month, I suddenly discovered this great restaurant. If only I had known about this place earlier, I could have avoided the days of frustration and weariness while rushing home on the Yamanote Line with a growling stomach, irritated by the drunken salarymen standing in front of me...! Feeling this regret, I visited Lily. A few days ago, I had an unexpected dinner with a former client who used to be my contact person, a woman. She requested a restaurant where she could enjoy good wine or sake, so I searched for a place in Gotanda and found a couple of interesting options. We decided to go to this place. We made a reservation for Friday at 8:00 PM, the busiest time, but since we could sit at the counter, we were actually delighted! We immediately said yes. The restaurant mainly serves charcoal-grilled skewers, but the menu is wide-ranging, and I had a hard time choosing. However, in situations like this, counter seats are a great deal. I asked the guy in front of me for recommendations, and we ordered: - Beef sushi - Assorted skewers (5 pieces) - White liver tekk - Grilled beef liver sushi was served with a slightly sweet and spicy sauce, and it melted in my mouth! The skewers included 3 vegetable skewers (tomato and mozzarella, asparagus wrapped in bacon, tomato and bacon?), and the remaining 2 were chicken and harami skewers, which were juicy and tender! The mozzarella with tomato was perfectly balanced and delicious. The liver tekk had a generous amount of chopped onions and a slightly pink rareness that even I, who is not a fan of liver, couldn't resist. As for drinks, the lady started with beer, and I had plum wine with soda. Wine was the next logical step, and we enjoyed a glass of red wine. I can't remember the brand, probably from Spain? The wine had a good mouthfeel and a slightly meaty volume. Feeling pleased, we decided to order more: - Pacific saury skewer - Mentaiko skewer - Potato skewer? - Corn fritters The Pacific saury skewer was wrapped in maitake mushrooms, and it had a delicious smoky flavor without being greasy. The mentaiko skewer had a perfect level of doneness! I think the other skewer was potato, and it came with chanja, which I don't like (kimchi, salted fish), so I quickly ate it without those toppings. The corn was incredibly sweet and left a lasting impression. The owner, Mr. Yagasaki, was friendly and approachable. By this time, we had switched to a bottle of red wine... I remembered this one: "Atura Rouge" Bio. It's intense, slightly spicy, and delicious. We were still curious about some dishes, so we added: - Eggplant gratin - Beef shank stew All of them were above average. Honestly, there were no disappointments. I wanted to try the chestnut cream cheese tofu, but I forgot to order it. I actually ordered without worrying about the price due to some circumstances, but even so, it was around the cost of a $10 bill, which is quite reasonable, isn't it? There are counter seats, so you can come alone, focus on skewers, and finish with some rice dishes, or conversely, come with a few people and try non-skewer dishes... There seems to be a wide range of scenes and tastes to enjoy, so while I'm still in Gotanda, I would love to visit this place again.

I visited a calm and clean restaurant that just opened in the fall, recommended by a friend. We went there for a year-end party with my work colleagues. The location is a bit hidden, about a 7-8 minute walk from Gotanda Station towards Takanawa on Sakurada Street, located on the first floor of an apartment in a residential area. The food uses carefully selected ingredients and focuses on bringing out the natural flavors of the ingredients. They also offer rare cuts of meat on skewers, showing the owner's dedication. We mainly drank wine, and they had around 20 types of table wine for 2500 yen each, which was very reasonable and good quality. I believe they also had organic wine for around 3500 yen. The service was provided by two men and one woman, who were efficient and pleasant. We arrived around 5 pm, and although it was quiet at first, by 7 pm it was fully booked. I recommend going early or making a reservation. Despite the prices, the quality of the food and service was high. This restaurant is a great cost-effective option in Gotanda. I will definitely visit again soon.

I visited Lily-san, a newly opened yakitori restaurant in Gotanda last October. At first, I was unsure if it really existed in this residential area, but I quickly found the place. The stylish exterior with glass windows made it very easy and welcoming to enter for the first time. They mainly offer wine for drinks and a variety of creative dishes with yakitori as the main highlight. The ingredients are sourced daily from Tsukiji, and all the dishes were exquisite. The yakitori was delicious, but personally, I highly recommend the sausages - they are very juicy and addictive. It was a perfect place for drinking, with a cozy atmosphere. Thank you to the staff, I would love to visit again. As the seating is limited, I recommend making a reservation especially on weekends or when in a large group. It is convenient for various occasions such as with friends, couples, or for business gatherings.

I walked from Gotanda Station and visited a yakitori and wine restaurant. The place, which opened in mid-October, was stylish and clean. We arrived before 6 o'clock, ordered a beer to start, and got yakitori, potato salad, and liver teki from the next table. The potato salad was piled high with a kimchi-like sauce on top. It was a surprising mix of sweetness from the potato, tanginess from the kimchi, and crunchiness from the pickles. It became the perfect snack for me, a drinker. The freshly grilled yakitori was hot and juicy, with just the right amount of sweetness in the sauce. The liver teki that came next was also delicious, perfectly cooked. We also ordered horse sashimi and salmon carpaccio, both of which were tender and tasty. Besides the yakitori, the menu was diverse and everything was delicious. We switched from beer to wine, ordering two bottles for the two of us. The staff were good-looking and friendly. It felt like a safe place for a woman to drink alone. Overall, it was a high-performance restaurant.
