I made a reservation 10 days in advance and visited for a meal with relatives. The quality of service started from the moment the restaurant opened. There were only seven seats at the white wooden counter, and the only other person there was a man who arrived the same day as me. The introduction and greetings upon seating were excellent. When I ordered a recommended Japanese sake, they also provided a taste of a different type of sake, showing great hospitality. The meal flowed smoothly from the appetizer to the parent-child rice bowl, ending with a dessert. I was able to enjoy the experience in the limited one-hour time frame. I was intrigued by the wine ordered at the neighboring seat and ended up ordering some myself, finding the aroma and taste to be different and interesting. The female proprietor's personality and demeanor were elegant, and the dishes prepared by the chef were delicate, meticulous, and delicious. Thank you for the meal.

First visit to the Japanese restaurant "Shinma" where you can enjoy the wholehearted masterpiece served by a straight-forward chef ⭐️ The owner, Kazuma Otsuka, has over 20 years of experience in Japanese cuisine. He personally visits Tsukiji Market to carefully select ingredients and uses precise techniques to elevate the flavors of each ingredient.

I heard that they serve a very cost-effective lunch, so I visited for the first time. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere with a counter seating for 7, and the hostess's service is excellent. There is a stand for smartphones in front of the white wooden counter table. The restaurant is located on the 3rd floor of a building, and the elevator on the same floor will be unlocked 5 minutes before the reserved time. The meal started with a sesame tofu appetizer, followed by freshly fried Oyama chicken Karaage, a refreshing palate cleanser, and a delicious mushroom miso soup. The main dish was a beautifully presented Oyako-don in a wine-colored bowl, with flavorful eggs and chicken over perfectly cooked rice. The meal ended with a delightful dessert of Amazake ice cream in a crispy shell. They also offered a sample of a light red wine that paired well with the dishes. The hospitality and delicious food at this restaurant at such a good price point made me very happy. I look forward to visiting again, perhaps for dinner next time.

First Visit 202308 (No.4762) 1. Purpose of Visit - I visited the restaurant after reading a review by MyRebi for "Juripon" that caught my interest. 2. Restaurant Information - Genre on Tabelog: Japanese cuisine - Opened on August 20, 2022 - A Japanese restaurant that feels like a hidden retreat for adults - The owner, Kazuma Otsuka, has over 20 years of experience in Japanese cuisine - Originally located in Ichigaya (Kudan?), now relocated to Nihonbashi Ningyocho - Offers three course options in the evening: ¥16,500, ¥22,000, and ¥33,000 - Operating Hours: Lunch: Every Wednesday (open on other days in August) First Session: 12:00-13:00 Second Session: 13:15-14:15 Dinner: 18:00-22:30 - Irregular holidays - Seating capacity: 7 seats - Reservations available on Tabelog ♡♡♡ ⚠️ Due to the small size of the restaurant and no waiting area inside, the elevator on the dedicated floor is unlocked and guests are guided to their seats at the reserved time. 3. Crowdedness and Atmosphere on the Day of Visit - Arrived at 13:00 as per the reservation, elevator was operational but dishes from the first session were still present. Waited in the air-conditioned elevator hall until entering at around 13:12 - The thick, white wooden table at the counter had a striking presence, exuding a sense of luxury and a great atmosphere (*^^)v 4. Service - Followed the manual but with slightly unique and polite service 5. Orders ■ Glass of the day's trial wine (Rosé) ¥500 - Ordered to contribute a little to the sales, pricing seemed fair? ■ [Lunch Session] Kokoro Ha Oyakodon Set Meal 4 items ¥2,000 □ Appetizer: Sesame Tofu with White Miso Jelly - A dish consisting of "sesame tofu" made with polished sesame and kudzu powder, topped with white miso jelly sourced from Kyoto. The refreshing acidity of the jelly makes it a decent appetizer. □ Fried Dish: Ooyama Chicken Tatsuta Age - Tatsuta age made with "Ooyama Chicken," a brand chicken from Tottori, which is served wrapped in paper without cutting. When you take a bite, the crispy surface with potato starch is contrasted by the hot and juicy interior, making it a delicious item that far surpasses certain convenience store fried chicken products (laughs). *The paper is labeled "Kokoro" and the kanji characters differ between day and night! □ Chopstick Rest: Kin Bijin Carrot Kake - On that day, Dutch-grown "Kin Bijin Carrot" was served, providing a refreshing palate cleanser after oily dishes (^.^) *Compared to regular carrots that have a reddish-orange hue, "Kin Bijin Carrot" has a golden appearance. It has a softer texture compared to regular carrots, a strong sweetness, and less of the typical carrot smell. □ Soup: Mushroom Soup - A soup with plenty of shiitake mushrooms, nameko mushrooms, etc., but slightly light in flavor, meant to be enjoyed for its broth (-_-;) □ Rice Dish: Oyakodon - The main dish, "Oyakodon," is not immediately presented but the rice cooked to match the timing of eating is showcased first. The shiny, slightly al dente rice is for this "Oyakodon," so... (>_<) The "Oyakodon" bowl is served with a lid selected by the landlady. The amount of rice can be adjusted, and it is a delicious item with a perfect balance of tender chicken, creamy egg, and flavorful sauce in the bowl~♬ The "house-made shichimi" provided for flavor enhancement has a strong scent of sansho pepper, which I personally enjoy ♡♡♡ □ Dessert: Amazake Ice Cream Senbei - A delightful item made with amazake, soy milk, ginger, and daidai (bitter orange) sherbet sandwiched between crispy senbei skin, with a mild sweetness! Thank you for the meal.

Ningyocho has an image of having stylish shops. I don't usually stop by, but when I walk around the town, I can't help but look around. I heard that there is a delicious restaurant in the area that offers lunch, so I made a reservation right away. The reservation was made via email, and each time the response was very polite. I was impressed by the meticulous attention to detail in the email correspondence. Is this how they treat everyone who makes a reservation? At that point, I thought they were amazing. On the day of the reservation, when I arrived at the restaurant, all the customers were almost seated at the 7-seat counter, and the lunch course started simultaneously. As I sat down, the last two guests arrived, and the owner and the landlady greeted us to start the lunch course. Today's menu included sesame tofu, deep-fried Oyama chicken, fruit and carrot salad, mushroom soup, oyakodon (chicken and egg bowl), and homemade ice cream sandwich. The owner worked silently on the cooking, while the landlady took care of the service. Her graceful and attentive manner of speaking and the sound of the bells rolling around were truly captivating. The food was meticulously prepared, with a smooth and beautiful quality that made it easy to eat. The sesame tofu was rich and subtly fragrant with shiso blossoms. The highlight for me was the Oyama chicken deep-fried in white wood counter, introduced by the landlady. It was like grabbing a hot snack from a convenience store, wrapped in paper and eaten by hand. Of course, it was freshly fried and piping hot, so I took small bites. I usually don't like the batter on fried foods and sometimes eat around it. At first, I couldn't reach the chicken meat and only nibbled on the batter, thinking, "Oh, I can't eat just the batter." But as I chewed, the batter became more and more delicious. It was so crispy and tasty! When I finally reached the chicken meat, it was tender and juicy, with a fresh meaty flavor that was simply amazing. The joy of eating this dish was indescribable. I also enjoyed the oyakodon with a small amount of rice. The freshly cooked Sado Island rice was beautifully presented by the landlady in a lovely bowl, and the owner meticulously finished each dish. The dish was delicately seasoned, and the chicken was so tasty that I couldn't stop eating it. The mushroom soup was rich in mushroom flavor, and the dessert of ice cream sandwich was a refreshing treat made with soy milk, ginger, and orange. It had a light texture and taste, and I finished it before anyone else at the table. I can understand why this place has a good reputation and is hard to book. If you want to enjoy a special meal and entertain someone, I highly recommend making a reservation here for dinner. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

Just a short walk from Ningyocho Station, on the street of Amazake Yokocho, right in front of the new building opposite the famous sweets shop Yanagiya. Lunch is only available on Wednesdays, but in August they are open on weekdays as well, and reservations are fully booked every day. The reason? The lunch course, centered around a parent and child rice bowl, is priced at 2000 yen. It seems like Wednesdays will be a battle for reservations in the future (laughs). The restaurant only opens for lunch from 12:00 to 13:15 (13:00?). You can only enter the restaurant right before the deadline. Even the elevator won't stop on the 3rd floor until the landlady comes down (laughs). I made a reservation through Tabelog and visited the restaurant. - Sesame tofu with white miso and a refreshing jelly on top. - Crispy fried Oyama chicken served in a hand-held paper wrapper. - A refreshing salad made with fruit and yellow carrots. - A parent and child rice bowl made with Koshihikari rice from Sado Island. You can choose the amount of rice, but not the bowl itself (laughs). The landlady carefully chooses the bowl based on the customer's impression and provides it accordingly. I asked for extra rice cooked in a pot. And there it is! A cute red and gold bowl in front of me. When I opened the lid, I found a perfectly cooked parent and child rice bowl with a tender texture. The fluffy egg mixed with the rice was covered with a delicious broth. It was beautiful to look at and tasted amazing. The chicken was tender, the egg was fluffy, and the broth was rich. I was the first to be served because of my seat number, and there was a bit too much broth, making the rice a bit soggy underneath. I wished I could have tasted just the rice on its own. - Seven-spice black pepper blend for flavor enhancement. - Amazake ice cream. Dessert is also included! Served in a pumpkin-shaped container, I thought it was pumpkin ice cream, but it turned out to be amazake ice cream, like a sherbet. Perfect for summer! And this time, I had lunch wine: - Rosé wine for 500 yen. I wanted white wine, but the lunch wine was the recommended wine of the day, which happened to be rosé. It was a light and easy-to-drink wine. For only 2000 yen, this luxurious and wonderful lunch, with a lovely landlady, is truly amazing.

The hospitality of the female owner and the cooking of the head chef were both wonderful during lunchtime. The homemade sesame tofu, fried chicken, fruit palate cleanser, carrot vinegar salad, mushroom soup, oyakodon, and homemade sweet sake ice cream were all delicious. The restaurant was clean and the service was amazing! You'll feel like a princess here. It's surprising that you can enjoy all of this for only 2000 yen. It's understandable why it's hard to get a reservation. I would definitely like to visit again.

I heard that they are open for lunch only on weekdays in August and decided to visit. The restaurant has a spacious layout with a white wooden counter. The lunch service starts all at once. First, I tried the sesame tofu. It was refreshing and sticky, with jelly poured on top. Then I had their famous Tatsuta-age (deep-fried chicken). It was crispy and juicy, and so delicious that I wanted to have another one. The skin was also crispy because it was fried well. For a palate cleanser, I had carrot salad and mushroom miso soup. Finally, the awaited Oyakodon (chicken and egg rice bowl) was served. The rice portion was just right, and each bowl was made individually, so it took some time, but the taste was irresistible. They mentioned using Oyama chicken, and it was finely chopped for easy eating, with the egg being perfectly runny. The sauce was just slightly sweet from sugar and had a depth of flavor from mirin. I felt like scooping it up with lotus roots, and even the sauce for the drink was delicious. I am highly satisfied and would like to visit for dinner as well.

I saw the restaurant on Instagram and made a reservation. It's a shop that operates on a fully reservation basis. The shop has a 5-seat counter and is run by a husband and wife. In the evening, it's a high-end restaurant with prices starting from around 10,000 yen. The lunch set was a good deal at 2,000 yen. The freshly fried Tatsutaage was juicy and delicious. The oyakodon was seasoned with high-quality mirin without using sugar or other sweeteners, giving it an elegant flavor. The dessert was a sherbet-filled manju, but I thought ice cream would have been better.

Lunch at Heart Leaf Special Chicken and Egg Rice Bowl Set ¥2,000 (tax included) In a certain program, when Matsumoto Hitoshi interviewed Yoshinaga Sayuri, he referred to her as a "paragon of elegance". A restaurant in Ningyocho that can be likened to Yoshinaga Sayuri as a "paragon of elegance" is Heart Horse (Kokoro Ba), a traditional Japanese restaurant located just a 2-3 minute walk from Ningyocho Station. The lunch course at this authentic Japanese restaurant is currently very popular. Although it is a simple course with the main dish being a chicken and egg rice bowl, it is not to be underestimated. The course is already difficult to reserve due to its popularity. Starting at 12:00, the master and the landlady warmly welcome you, and the course begins with "sesame tofu", a refreshing appetizer perfect for the hot summer with white miso jelly on top. Then, the "Oyama chicken Karaage" is served. This Karaage, which can be described as a high-quality "family chicken" (excuse the expression), is truly delicious. The juicy and tender chicken thigh meat marinated in soy sauce is fried in high-quality oil, resulting in a light post-meal feeling. And finally, the main dish, the chicken and egg rice bowl, is served, but first, there is a palate-cleansing dish of "fruit carrot". The acidity of the dish refreshes your mouth after the Karaage. The chicken and egg rice bowl is made in front of you with care. The pleasant aroma of the broth fills the counter. Sado-grown Koshihikari rice cooked in a clay pot is served in a high-quality ceramic bowl, and the egg is quickly and skillfully poured over it. The egg, poured in two stages, is perfectly runny. The bite-sized pieces of chicken have a pleasantly chewy texture in your mouth. The mild broth seeps into the warm rice, creating a harmonious unity with the egg. The broth, elegant yet well-defined, leaves you feeling satisfied. Despite requesting a large portion of rice, it is quickly finished. The sweetness is a homemade sweet sake ice cream sandwiched between a crispy wafer. With no added sugar, the light and elegant sweetness pairs perfectly with the crispy wafer. The restaurant's ambiance, cuisine, ceramics, everything is elegantly coordinated. The highlight is the landlady. From her choice of words to her demeanor, gestures, and divine customer service, her elegance is apparent. Truly, a paragon of elegance. You will likely be more impressed by the landlady's dignity than the chicken and egg rice bowl itself.

This place is a high-class restaurant that is very popular for its lunch-only "Shinma parent and child bowl set". I made a reservation through Tabelog. It's located on the 3rd floor of a building about a 5-minute walk from Ningyocho Station. It's in the same building as the popular tempura restaurant Shinsaku! The restaurant only has a counter. Lunch starts at 12:00. The 2000 yen parent and child bowl set I had included: sesame tofu with white miso jelly, large chicken tempura, pickled mushroom soup, parent and child bowl, sweet sake ice cream, and a wafer. The dishes were even more fulfilling than I imagined and truly fantastic!! Despite being a bargain lunch, each dish was carefully made and had a gentle flavor. The large tempura was fried at a low temperature, making the skin incredibly crispy and the inside juicy. The seasoning was mainly soy sauce, simple yet full of flavor. The parent and child bowl was made to order, asking for the amount of rice you prefer. I asked for a smaller portion. The egg was so creamy, almost like a drink. The flavor was also gentle. For dessert, they served sweet sake ice cream in a wafer, a nod to the famous Amazake Yokocho in Ningyocho. The ice cream had a light and refreshing ginger flavor, and the wafer was crispy. I was truly satisfied. Additionally, the kind and beautiful landlady's hospitality was wonderful, and her stories were so entertaining that I couldn't help but burst out laughing. I had a great time dining alone! I definitely want to visit again at night.

Hello everyone! This is ZMA. Today, I would like to introduce Oyakodon at "Goryori Kokoroba" in Ningyocho. The restaurant's name is read as "Kokoroba". They serve Oyakodon for lunch and offer a course menu for dinner. The Oyakodon set meal costs ¥2000 and includes sesame tofu, Tatsuta-age (fried chicken), sweet potatoes, and soup. The Oyakodon itself is served on hot freshly cooked rice with a soft egg topping and without Mitsuba leaves. The first bite was delicious! The combination of the refined taste and the rice was exquisite. They use Oyama chicken, bonito, and tuna dashi, and Sado Island's Koshihikari rice for the ingredients. The dessert was also delightful. A couple of points to note: make a reservation by contacting the restaurant's email address, and the air conditioning turns on promptly at 12 PM. Above all, the hospitality of the proprietress is outstanding. She takes care of each customer with great attention and warmth. I highly recommend trying their elegant and heartwarming Oyakodon. See you next time!

My wife had been wanting to visit this restaurant for a while, and we were able to make a reservation since there was a good availability. I took a day off to visit as I have been working a lot on weekends recently. The restaurant has only 7 seats at the counter, and the meal starts with greetings from the chef and the hostess. They must be a married couple. The hostess's behavior is very elegant, as if she is used to being on stage. There is only one set menu, which is a parent and child bowl course, and all customers are served the dishes at the same time. Each dish shows creativity and attention to detail. The parent and child bowl, the main dish, is one of the most delicious I have ever had. Even the sweet sake ice cream dessert in the monaka was delicious. Considering all this for just 2,000 yen, it's understandable why it's so difficult to get a reservation. The hostess arranged the fresh flowers in the restaurant herself. They also pay attention to the dishes and seem to have a deep knowledge about them. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

A restaurant where you can enjoy delicious Japanese cuisine. I made a reservation for a holiday and went straight in. [Ordered items] Shinyo Parent and Child Rice Bowl Set (2,000 yen) - Appetizer: Sesame Tofu with White Miso Jelly - Fried Dish: Ooyama Chicken Tatsuta-age - Chopstick Rest: Gold Beauty Carrot Pickles - Soup: Mushroom Soup - Rice Dish: Parent and Child Rice Bowl - Dessert: Sweet Sake Ginger Ice Cream Sandwich I had seen Shinyo-san on Instagram a few times and was curious, so I decided to try it out. All the dishes were delicious! The freshly fried tatsuta-age was even more delicious when you bite into it. The parent and child rice bowl made right in front of you had a wonderful dashi aroma! The chicken was tender and flavorful Ooyama chicken, paired perfectly with the soft and creamy egg. The sauce was made using the best dashi stock from bonito and tuna, giving it an elegant flavor. The homemade ginger ice cream in the sandwich was refreshing and delightful, another excellent dish, all for just 2,000 yen for this course, what a steal! The lovely proprietress's service was fantastic, and I had a very enjoyable time. I recommend making a reservation and visiting! Thank you for the delicious meal! Please check out my other posts as well! I also have an Instagram (@ranko_foodie), so please check it out! Thank you!

Visit date: May 16, 2023 (Tuesday) lunch Instagram: @mash_foodstagram Official LINE: https://lin.ee/AQBeKIP Located in Ningyocho, the Japanese restaurant "Goryori Kokoro Ma". While dinner can be pricey, their lunch offers a more affordable way to enjoy their cuisine. - Order details - ◉ Oyakodon set meal (2,000 yen) Comes with appetizer, Oyakodon (chicken and egg rice bowl), miso soup, dessert, and more for only 2,000 yen! Quite a steal! First, freshly fried Oyama chicken karaage. Juicy and irresistible, you can eat as many as you want. The Oyakodon is served in a hot pot with freshly cooked rice, and you can choose the amount of rice you want. The light and flavorful seasoning with the smoothness of the egg makes this Oyakodon delightful. The Oyama chicken in it is firm and the special seven-spice seasoning adds a nice touch. The kind hospitality of the proprietress made the restaurant very welcoming and comfortable. I would love to visit again for dinner next time.

Visited for the first time after moving from Yasukuni Shrine to Ningyocho. The popular Oyakodon has been further enhanced and is still going strong! The 2,000 yen Oyakodon set includes sesame tofu, gold carrot namasu, Tatsuta fried chicken with Oyama chicken, mushroom soup, and Oyakodon cooked in a clay pot with Sado rice. The dessert is a refreshing sweet sake ice cream with ginger, named after the location. The downside is that it's hard to get without a reservation due to its high popularity!

Kokoroba2022 owner, Otsuka Kazuma, opened a new restaurant last year called "Goryori Kokoroba" in Ningyocho. The restaurant is still not very well-known, but it's a great place. You can make reservations on Tabelog. I love the hinoki cypress counter. For lunch, they offer a parent and child rice bowl set with dessert for ¥2000. Everything was delicious, and the dishes were beautifully presented. They also served a delicious Alsace Pinot Noir that paired well with the parent and child rice bowl. Next time, I want to try it for dinner. #GoryoriKokoroba #Kokoroba #NingyochoGourmet #Hinuma #NingyochoHinuma #GourmetLovers #JapaneseCuisine #CounterSeating #Namasanpo #OyakodonLovers #SakePairing #Bo Mooki Tochigi Mashiko #Sotai Brewery Kochi Minami #Minami Sake Brewery Nagano Misuzu #Misuzu Sake Brewery #SakeLovers #NaturalWine #VinNaturel #NaturalWine #VinNaturel #AlsaceWine.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon. I made a reservation a few weeks ago. [Key Points] The oyakodon (chicken and egg rice bowl) at this high-end Japanese restaurant, available at lunch prices, is served in a clay pot with rich, melty egg, flavorful Oyama chicken, and a not overpowering dashi broth, all of which were delicious and made it my favorite oyakodon. The crispy fried chicken was also juicy and very tasty. Overall, the seasoning is not too sweet, which I really liked. [About the Restaurant] This Japanese restaurant opened in August 2022. It is located in a new building in Ningyocho, where restaurants like Yanagi Tsubame are also housed. Lunch reservations seem to be harder to come by lately, possibly due to the introduction of a reasonably priced oyakodon set menu. The lunch service is referred to as "Shinya," but there has been no change in the restaurant's owner. [Interior] There are 7 seats at the counter with ample space between them. The restaurant has a 24-hour ventilation system. The chef and the staff operate the restaurant together. [Food] I had made a reservation for the 2,000 yen oyakodon set. Only natural water is provided for free. There is no service charge for lunch. Payment is cash only. The set included: - Sesame tofu with white miso jelly - Oyama chicken karaage - Pickled carrots - Miso soup with mushrooms - Oyama chicken oyakodon - Sweet sake ice cream monaka with ginger [Food Review] At 2,000 yen including tax, this set is a good deal for Ningyocho. The sesame tofu with white miso and tangy jelly was a great start, and the seasoning was just right, making me look forward to the rest of the meal. The karaage was about the size of two regular pieces, with a crisp coating and well-seasoned, which I liked. The chicken was hot, juicy, and flavorful. However, due to the heat, taking a big bite was a bit challenging, so cutting it into smaller pieces might have been better. The main dish, the oyakodon, was served on freshly cooked rice in a clay pot, topped with creamy egg and tender, flavorful chicken. I chose 100g of rice, which was just about the size of a rice bowl. The dashi broth was delicious, with a subtle aroma, flavor, and saltiness that complemented the egg and chicken well. This was the best oyakodon I've ever had. The dessert, sweet sake ice cream, had a smooth texture and was not too sweet. The hint of ginger was subtle but refreshing. It was a very enjoyable lunch. If I had to mention any improvements, the water glasses for women were unusually small, making it necessary to refill multiple times, and the service, while not bad, could be a matter of personal preference. Also, during lunch, there were moments when those opting for the mini course seemed to have to wait a bit. The oyakodon and karaage are included in the mini course as well. The seasoning was exactly to my liking, not too sweet overall, and just the right amount of saltiness. I look forward to visiting for dinner next time.

YouTube→Overeating Gourmet Travel Instagram / TikTok / Twitter →@___ksdayo Blog→http://gokujyo-gourmet.com/ Located in Ningyocho, "Goryori Kokoro" is a Japanese restaurant on the 3rd floor of the new building in Amazake Yokocho! They have started a lunch course based on customer requests, and on days without reservations, they have introduced a parent and child rice bowl set. I ordered the Parent and Child Rice Bowl Set (¥2,000). Although I showed up without a reservation, it seems you can make one over the phone! The set includes appetizers, fried chicken with Ooyama chicken, palate cleanser, parent and child rice bowl, miso soup, and Monaka ice cream. The parent and child rice bowl is incredibly delicious with plenty of meat and a smooth texture! In the evening, they offer a regular course for ¥22,000, but they also have a lighter course for ¥16,500 for those looking for a more casual dining experience. The lunch course is priced at ¥5,000, which is quite reasonable. The attentive and lovely service by the landlady was outstanding, so I highly recommend it!
