On this day, I had a meeting with a contractor and we decided to use this convenient izakaya near Yaesu station for our meeting. Being close to the station is definitely an advantage that is hard to beat, whether it's for residential or office purposes. The location is easy to find and has good access. When you set the destination on Google Maps, you don't have to worry about getting lost and can arrive right on time. This is wonderful. I am terrible with directions and sometimes still get lost even when using Google Maps (laughs). I arrived at the restaurant on time and was guided to a private room on the basement floor. I started with a draft beer, specifically the Malt's draft beer. It's great to see real beer available. Looking at the menu, the drink prices are around 500 yen, which is quite reasonable. They also use Suntory whiskey for their highballs, showing their intention to maintain a minimum level of quality while keeping prices down. For food, we ordered the "Kurobuta shabu-shabu" for two with a side of assorted vegetables, as well as the restaurant's specialty, the "meat seared sushi" which included beef kalbi sushi, shoulder loin sushi, and brisket sushi. We also ordered a Caesar salad. The amount of ingredients for the hot pot was surprising. The standard amount of Kurobuta shabu-shabu is normal, but the additional side of vegetables was so generous that it was enough to fill you up on its own. And yet, the prices were kept low, which was very surprising. I switched from Malt's to Suntory highball and enjoyed the shabu-shabu and vegetables. The Caesar salad was also very generous. I don't usually eat a lot of vegetables, so I made sure to eat plenty. As we were eating, the "meat seared sushi" was served, and we tried the beef kalbi sushi, shoulder loin sushi, and brisket sushi. The meat sushi, seared to perfection, satisfied the desire to eat white rice when eating yakiniku. It was delicious, of course. At this point, I was already 80% full (laughs). The meeting with the contractor was still ongoing, so we ordered the "bacon and asparagus potato gratin" from this month's recommended menu, as well as the deep-fried chicken and crispy seaweed salt french fries. The potato gratin was exquisite and incredibly delicious...I suddenly realized that the contractor had eaten most of it and I wanted to eat more (laughs). And while ordering an additional Suntory highball, we enjoyed the crispy chicken and french fries. This is what you expect from an izakaya. The meeting progressed well and turned into a great dining experience. Overall, the excellent location with great access is fantastic, which is the biggest point. The dishes are very reasonably priced, and with Malt's and Suntory highball available, you can enjoy a satisfying meal. The convenient location, affordability, and the option of a private room make this restaurant very easy to use in the Yaesu area.
