The story goes back to late January of this year... I tried to make a reservation for dinner on weekends (around 6-8 pm) but couldn't get one until late March. So, finally, I was able to go to Gori-chan. I had made a reservation for Saturday at 6:45 pm, but I arrived earlier than expected. The restaurant called and asked if we wanted to come earlier, so we agreed to arrive at 6:25 pm. When we entered the restaurant, there were many lively people there.
----- Taste Impressions -----
【Salted Tongue & Tanmori】The combination of salted tongue with shiso, green onions, and ponzu sauce was excellent. It felt more like a green onion forest than a tongue forest.
【Seared Yukke】This was my personal favorite. It melts in your mouth... We shared everything, but this dish could have been one per person.
【Mirage Kalbi】This was also so delicious that it could be a winner! You can only order one portion for two people, but that's understandable. I would order this again next time. We also ordered miso tongue, tsurami, and salted liver. They were all delicious, but I especially liked the liver. It was no wonder it was on the popular menu ranking.
Also, when I tried to order regular oolong tea, the staff teased me, asking if I didn't want the world's best oolong tea instead. So, I ordered the world's best one. It came in a regular bottle, which made me laugh. (By the way, it was delicious.)
To finish, we had today's gelato, which was yuzu flavor on that day. I love citrus flavors.
-------------------
The location is great, the atmosphere is lively, the staff are quick to notice, and they even called to suggest moving our reservation earlier without any delays in our order. It was a really good restaurant. Plus, even after eating all that, the bill was around 10,000 yen, so it's very reasonable. It's no wonder it's so popular! The only downside is that it might be difficult to drop by casually due to its popularity... but that's a good thing for the restaurant. I would love to visit again if I have the chance. I was able to eat to my heart's content! I will make a reservation again!
