I visited the sister restaurant "Kioicho Mitani Betthi" which opened on the same floor of "Tokyo Garden Terrace Kioicho" in September 2021, managed by "Mitani" in Yotsuya, Tokyo. The owner, Eiki Honda, has been the vice manager at "Kioicho Mitani" since 2018 and is now in charge of "Kioicho Mitani Betthi." The interior has two rooms with a counter of six seats each. The counter, made of Japanese cypress, is designed to resemble a "near-future tea room." This time, I sat at the counter served by the second-in-command, not Mr. Honda. The first half of the course started with a dish of hairy crab and sea urchin paste, followed by a moist and slightly miso-flavored bonito tartare. After enjoying half of it, bonito dashi chips were added to enhance the aroma and flavor. The lightly smoked throat fish, with its rare texture and a hint of fatty aroma, was a delightful experience. The firefly squid croquette had a rich and deep flavor, perfectly balanced with the acidity of vinegar, complemented by a topping of bonito and ginger sauce that didn't overshadow the natural taste of the ingredients. The lineup of dishes during the first half was enjoyable and perfectly suited for sake pairing. The second half of the course featured consistently well-prepared nigiri sushi, finishing with the classic Mitani-style Sukeroku sushi and dessert of Nankou plum. Both the dishes and the tableware showed great attention to detail, and the service was top-notch. Thank you for the wonderful meal!
