Located in Ebisu, this restaurant is a stylish blend of traditional Niigata cuisine and modern atmosphere, perfectly fitting in the fashionable city of Ebisu. I visited the Yasuda Ebisu branch for dinner on a weekday. It is a 5-minute walk from JR Ebisu Station West Exit, with a slightly steep uphill walk that leads you back to the station easily on your way back. Upon entering, you are greeted by the hostess in a kimono. The impressive counter seat, where you can enjoy Niigata rice and sake, sets the stage for a delightful Echigo experience. The restaurant starts off by serving Niigata rice, sake, and appetizers, setting the tone for a delicious meal. I enjoyed various traditional Niigata dishes and sake a la carte. The meticulously arranged sashimi platter featured different thicknesses of slices, each offering a unique texture and flavor. The highlight of the meal was the Kasago fish, which was beautifully pink in color and had a refreshing taste. The friendly chef also prepared a Kasago simmered dish using the remaining half of the fish, which was equally delicious. The meal continued with Sado red snow crab grilled with yuzu miso, tempura with a focus on mountain vegetables, and a succulent Niigata beef steak seasoned with Kan-zuri, a fermented seasoning from Joetsu. Although I wanted to try more dishes, the generous portions left us satisfied. The cozy atmosphere of the counter seat and the engaging conversations with the chef made the dining experience even more enjoyable. The meal ended with a non-alcoholic carrot juice to help settle our stomachs. Overall, it was a delightful and enjoyable dining experience with the comforting flavors and aromas of dashi broth. I left with a list of dishes I want to try next time, such as clay pot rice and nodoguro. Yasuda Ebisu is a restaurant that provides excellent hospitality, making it suitable for entertaining clients or guests. I look forward to revisiting to savor more Niigata cuisine, sake, and to meet the friendly chef again.

Ebisu "Joetsu Yasuda", the restaurant where the fifth appearance of Tomomi in the TBS Sunday drama "VIVANT" is currently being broadcast, was also the setting for the TBS Sunday drama "Hanzawa Naoki" three years ago. The purpose of tonight's visit was to gather confidential information within the company, as I have been wandering around the Toranomon area like "Urashima Taro" for about three years. Is the JAL Flight 123 incident or accident? While discussing such topics, we took the Seaside High-Speed Railway directly from the Saikyo Line, said to be the strongest in the Tokyo metropolitan area, to Ebisu. The reserved seat for today was a counter seat along the long side, similar to this (laughs). However, there is no landlady in a kimono like this (laughs). Let's take a seat at the designated table. Appetizers: Yasuda's special appetizer platter with 3 types "Yasuda's Reserved Plan" Fresh sashimi platter with 4 types + famous black throat salt-grilled dish 2 items + 1 glass of Japanese sake included Fresh sashimi platter with 4 types of the day + our famous black throat salt-grilled dish (half) + recommended Japanese sake to match perfectly While enjoying these, you can choose from our daily menu of hot pot rice and seasonal dishes according to your preference. The reserved plan allows us to provide you with the best items of the day first. Other dishes: - Sashimi platter with 4 types - Black throat salt-grilled dish (half) - Recommended seasonal Japanese sake 60ml Today's recommended: - Boiled salted edamame - Eggplant charcoal-grilled - Water eggplant sashimi with soy sauce and plum sauce - High-class sake tasting: - Ski Masamune Hana Daiginjo - Tsuru Tsurugi Junmai Daiginjo - Higan Daiginjo - Miso soup - Imari beef tendon simmered in salt - Corn hot pot rice We ordered an extra portion of corn hot pot rice to take away. Showing gratitude for being together for lunch and dinner today, we asked for one package for both of us? The lady asked, so we included the lady's portion in one package. The lady who took care of us today, who joined the company in September of the year when the national drama was broadcast in 2020, gave us her business card. A different kind of tea was served today, featuring delicacies from Niigata, Saga, and Nagasaki. Thank you for the meal.

I used it for lunch on Saturday. I added a 2-hour all-you-can-drink option, and I was able to choose from a wide range of drinks such as draft beer, sake, shochu, sparkling wine, red and white wine, and soft drinks. The sake, especially the dry ones from Niigata, were all delicious. There was one type of sake that was out of stock, but as an apology, they brought out an extra dry sake that was not included in the all-you-can-drink menu. The food, including freshly cooked rice in a pot, was delicious, and it turned out to be an enjoyable weekend lunch.

I had the Course Yuki Tsubaki. The presentation was beautiful and the taste was delicious! The chicken dumpling soup and grilled swordfish were especially tasty. The swordfish was so fluffy. We had a private room with dim lighting, creating a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. I would love to visit again in the next season!

I went out for dinner. Despite the hustle and bustle of Ebisu Station, it was a quiet atmosphere. There were private rooms available, which allowed us to have conversations without worrying about others. We ordered a course meal, and everything was delicious. Thank you for the meal. I would like to go again.

This is a wonderful and luxurious restaurant that is even used for drama filming. They have a counter and table seats, and sitting at the counter allows you to watch the chefs prepare the food, which is a great experience. They offer a good selection of drinks, starting with Premium Malt's beer and including a variety of delicious Japanese sake. The portion sizes are small due to the high-end nature of the restaurant, but the quality of the food and drinks is top-notch. The roast beef was incredibly delicious, and I felt so lucky to enjoy such a tasty dish. The fried food was also delicious, and the kama-meshi (kettle rice) was outstanding. The sashimi, particularly the tuna, was incredibly tasty. I was surprised to hear it was Indian Ocean tuna. However, the sashimi labeled as "Joetsu" could maybe be upgraded a bit in quality. The staff were kind and attentive, although there was a moment when a male staff member got a bit too close and put his hand on my shoulder, which was a bit surprising. Maybe they are just very friendly? We had about 7 drinks between the two of us and the bill came out to just under 30,000 yen. It was a bit more expensive than I had anticipated, but the delicious roast beef and kama-meshi made it worth it. I would like to visit again to try a different kama-meshi next time.

Starting from the first dish, Niigata sake and rice are served, giving a true Niigata vibe. The fish and salad were delicious, and the atmosphere inside the restaurant was nice, with many adult men and women visiting. Today, we brought in a champagne purchased at wine @, and they accommodated us without any issues. ✌️

First visit to an izakaya with a good selection of Niigata sake in Ebisu, located a little up the hill from the Metro and JR Ebisu Station. We had a small celebration dinner in a semi-private room for four people, with a 9-course menu including seasonal grilled fish and Imari beef, along with a 2-hour all-you-can-drink option for 15,730 yen per person (tax and service charge included). Overall, the experience was not bad, and the local dish of "noppai" left a good impression. The corn rice cooked in a clay pot at the end was perfect for summer, although I wished I could have had more (wanted a refill). It had been 9 months since our last gathering, but this dinner was enjoyable once again. We ended up being treated to a delicious meal.

It was a Saturday, and as a solo customer, the only option available was the weekend special course priced at 8,800 yen for 7 dishes. The sake was priced per 60ml or 90ml, which I found to be on the higher side personally. It might have been more economical to add a drink-all-you-can plan. Below are the sake pairings that I came up with on my own. The first dish was an assortment of 3 appetizers including minced whelk with wasabi, kelp with roe, and cheese with pine nuts, among others, rated 4 stars. I paired this with Yukinoume (junmai) 60ml, 520 yen, which had a refreshing taste and was rated 4+. The second dish was 2 sashimi selections: bonito and sea bream. The sea bream was aged to a soft texture in the Kanto style and was to my liking. The bonito was also well-balanced. I paired this with "Ski Masamune - Hana" 90ml, 1340 yen, which was not a junmai. It was easy to drink and rated 4++. The third dish was grilled blackthroat seaperch with a crispy skin and juicy, fatty meat, seasoned perfectly with salt, rated 5. I paired this with Echigo Koshihikari - Special Junmai - Spring Water Brewed 90ml, 850 yen, which was dry and paired perfectly with the fatty fish. The fourth dish was a light Niigata-style simmered dish called "noupe" soup, with a flavorful yet light broth, resembling a high-end version of the traditional dish, rated 4+. I decided to pair this with a hot sake, Echigo Oyaji 90ml, 660 yen, which complemented the lightness of the soup, rated 4++. As a gift from the restaurant, I received a taste of "Ryoko" (junmai daiginjo sake, unfiltered, live), a sweet and fruity sake that paired well with dessert. The fifth dish was a salt koji minced cutlet, which was surprisingly delicious, rated 4++. I paired this with Sotendaibou - Gaiden - Dry Junmai 60ml, 440 yen, which was dry and refreshing, complementing the fried dish. The sixth dish was a crab hot pot rice dish made with snow crab, which was delicious and rated 5. The rice, made from Niigata's Koshihikari variety, was exceptionally tasty. I paired this with Kimi no I - Yamahai Junmai Ginjo BY27, 90ml, 850 yen, which had a strong yet balanced flavor that paired well with the crab dish. The seventh dish was a black sesame ice cream for dessert, which was flavorful and not too sweet, rated 4. I paired this with the leftover unfiltered sake from earlier, which was a great match. In total, the bill came to 14,696 yen including tax. The dishes were all well-prepared by skilled chefs, and the service was efficient with attentive staff. The counter seats were spacious and comfortable, although I found the chairs to be too low, bringing the food too close to eye level.

I wanted to eat a Japanese set meal in Ebisu and decided to have lunch there. I made a last-minute reservation for a table seat, but ended up in a private room, which was very spacious and relaxing. I was torn between ordering the King Salmon and the Pork Cutlet set meal, but ended up choosing the Pork Cutlet. My friend ordered the King Salmon, so I got to try a bit of it too. The miso-marinated salmon was deliciously fatty, and I definitely want to try the King Salmon next time. And the best part, my favorite words: unlimited rice refills! (Cabbage refills too) The Koshihikari rice was so delicious that I ended up having two extra bowls. The Pork Cutlet was very tender, and I tried all the different sauces and salts provided, all of which were tasty. The grated ponzu sauce was refreshing, and the fruity sauce was also delicious. Even just with salt, you could really feel the tenderness of the meat. The side dishes were also great, especially the pickled Japanese mustard spinach, which almost made me finish a bowl of rice before the main dish arrived. The staff were very polite and friendly, making the atmosphere very pleasant. I would definitely want to come back to this restaurant when I crave Japanese food in Ebisu!

Had a business dinner at the Japanese izakaya restaurant, Joetsu Yasuda in Ebisu. The rice dish with grilled throat and sweetfish was delicious. It's a local cuisine izakaya from Niigata, but this course didn't really give off that vibe. Maybe because it's in Joetsu. They had a wide variety of Niigata sake, so I ordered the Katatane Junmai Daiginjo, which I saw for the first time, and the famous local Kirinzan Junmai Daiginjo Nagareboshi in a 4-gou bottle. Both had a light and sharp taste, very easy to drink, typical of Niigata sake. The Joetsu craft gin, Echigo Yakuso 80GIN with soda was also good. It tasted like a grassy field. The modern and stylish interior is said to have been used for filming the drama "Hanzawa Naoki". Thank you for the feast. #JoetsuYasuda #Ebisu #JapaneseFood #Izakaya #Kappo #NiigataLocalCuisine #JapaneseCuisine #GrilledThroat #ShibuyaGourmet #EbisuGourmet #Sake #Takatafunae Junmai Daiginjo #Kirinzan Nagareboshi Junmai Daiginjo #FoodPorn #Delicious #Foodie #Yummy #Gourmet #ThankYouForTheMeal #instafood

Just looking at the menu makes your heart dance at this enchanting Japanese restaurant. I happen to love Niigata's local cuisine (even though I'm from Shikoku), so I found this place on Tabelog and made a reservation. I started with a draft beer and then switched to white wine. The glass wine lineup included Koshu, Chardonnay (Australia), and Sauvignon Blanc. I think they also had about three types of red wine. Niigata is a representative wine region in Japan, so it would be interesting if they had Niigata's Albarino, for example. There were so many dishes I wanted to try that I was torn on where to start... To resist such temptations, I ordered a sashimi platter (5 kinds), noppe, abalone, and three types of mixed rice. I originally planned to stay for about 2 hours, but before I knew it, I was enjoying my meal for 3 hours! This time, I was seated at the counter towards the back. Thank you. I had a fulfilling time thanks to the attentive service from the staff.

#Ebisu '#Joetsu Yasuda Ebisu Store' is a Japanese restaurant serving Niigata cuisine. The open kitchen and counter seating make it a great spot for a date. You can enjoy dishes made with Niigata ingredients and choose from a variety of Niigata sake for a fun tasting experience. The assorted appetizers are intricately prepared and beautifully presented. Highly recommended dishes include the charcoal-grilled Imari beef and the delicious abalone featured on the daily menu. Don't miss out on the Three-Treasure Rice Pot with sea bream, crab, and salmon roe for a satisfying end to your meal! #TiTokyo #TiShibuya #TiJapaneseCuisine

I was invited by a business partner in April and visited this restaurant for the first time. It is said to be the same place where Haruka Igawa appeared as the landlady in the drinking party scene in the drama "Hanzawa Naoki". I was so impressed with my first visit that I used it for entertaining guests the other day as well. Here are the good points of this restaurant: - Located in Ebisu, the customers are mostly well-dressed men and women, which instantly lifts the mood upon entering the restaurant. - There are private rooms suitable for entertaining guests and a counter that is perfect for dates, both creating a great atmosphere. - The food both times was the popular Hamanashi course, which excelled in ingredients, taste, presentation, and timing of serving. - The all-you-can-drink plan is fantastic, especially for sake lovers. Despite being all-you-can-drink, there are over 10 types of premium sake, including Yamanashi. - The service is casual yet attentive, making it a great choice for those who enjoy drinking (especially sake) and want to have a good time. I would recommend this restaurant if you want to entertain guests or have a good time yourself. However, the prices are on the higher side, so it may not be a casual dining option for me.

I visited the Yasuda Ebisu store in Joetsu, which was also a filming location for the drama "Hanzawa Naoki." I had previously tried their tonkatsu for lunch, but this time I went for dinner and tried the "Hamayamanashi Course" for March and April. We started with a toast with a glass of draft beer and then moved on to sake when the appetizers arrived. They offered a tasting flight of 3 types of daiginjo, 3 types of junmai sake, and 3 levels of spiciness, with nearly 40 different Niigata sakes available. I was particularly impressed with the Tsuru Waka Junmai Daiginjo sake. The grilled nodoguro half-fish was unexpectedly large and delicious, and the rice cooked in a clay pot at the end was beautifully presented and shared among all of us. The course included seasonal appetizers, a bamboo shoot soup with sweetfish, sashimi, grilled nodoguro, steamed clams with an uguisu bird sauce, roast beef, tempura of firefly squid and mountain vegetables, simmered abalone with wasabi, cherry trout and bamboo shoot clay pot rice, and a dessert of the day.

Ebisu station is a 5-minute walk away. I am not the organizer. Used for a private dining experience. Also known as the filming location for the drama "Hanzawa Naoki" where Haruka Igawa works as the female owner. The boom may have passed, but this topic can hold the conversation for about 5 minutes. However, there are too many reviews from people with 0 followers! [Atmosphere] With a budget of over 10,000 yen for all-you-can-drink, it attracts Gourmet Debutants, Tokyo Calendar readers, late 20s trying to impress on a date, and high-class group dates. The private rooms are more commonly used for reasonable business entertainment. The non-private areas are noisy, the 10% service charge is questionable, and it's not ideal that drinks don't arrive even after ringing the bell. If you want to eat without worrying about the surroundings, I recommend the private rooms. Otherwise, you might as well eat at a hotel. [Overall Impression] This restaurant reveals the dining level of the person who chose it. Just eating Japanese food here did not leave any impression of the individual dishes. The service was mediocre. It felt more like a pilgrimage to the holy land of the "Hanzawa Naoki" filming location. It was crowded this day, so there may be a demand. However, it's not suitable for taking someone who is quite familiar with dining. I think there are better restaurants in the same price range in Ebisu. It's okay if you want a private dining experience. [Course Menu] March-April "Yukitsubaki Course" [Appetizer] Seasonal ingredients assortment -> Feels like pre-made dishes at a ryokan [Soup] Wakatake soup -> Lacks depth in the broth [Sashimi] Today's fresh sashimi -> Wasabi is tasty [Grilled Dish] Charcoal-grilled nodoguro fillet -> Not hot enough [Main Dish] Imari beef roast beef -> Department store level [Simmered Dish] Regional dish "noppei" -> Simmered root vegetables. Feels like home-cooked food all of a sudden. Something you would want at an izakaya. [Deep-fried Dish] Firefly squid and kogomi tempura -> Too much batter and lukewarm [Meal] Cherry shrimp and thin bean hot pot rice -> Average [Dessert] Today's dessert -> Did not eat

The clay pot rice, simmered beef tendon, and deep-fried white shrimp were delicious, but the disappointing service made it hard to fully enjoy the meal. The lack of consideration in service was so poor that it felt like a family restaurant, where you have to ask for everything including clearing the plates. Although the ambiance of the restaurant was nice, I don't think I'll be coming back again in the future.

I used to go to this restaurant regularly, but this is my first post! It's a spacious place with tables that are well spaced apart, and the clientele seems nice, so it doesn't feel too noisy. It has a mature atmosphere, I would say! On this day, I sat at the counter and mainly had some snacks with my drinks. My favorites were the roast beef and the rice cooked at the end of the meal! I was full, and the drinks were reasonably priced (^^; but all the food is delicious! I also recommend the tonkatsu for lunch.

Blog "Eating Out Along the Tokyu Line" https://asante.blog/ ---- For dinner on this day, we dined at this restaurant. With the pandemic easing up, it seems like we are gradually increasing our dining opportunities. The restaurant is conveniently located near Ebisu Station. The slightly hidden entrance gave off a typical Ebisu vibe. This place is also famous for being featured in the drama "Hanzawa Naoki". It felt luxurious to enjoy a meal at the calm counter with my colleague, just like Hanzawa and Manager Haruka Igawa. (laughs) We were led to a semi-private table after handing over our coats, which provided a spacious and relaxing space for dining. We started with beer and moved on to the meal. The "appetizers" were colorful, featuring seasonal ingredients like herring roe and shellfish. The scallop and Chinese cabbage soup warmed us up on a cold day. The "sashimi" was firm and fresh, followed by the main highlight, the "salt-grilled blackthroat seaperch". The perfectly grilled skin with rich fat and strong saltiness made this dish memorable. We also had "roast beef", "noodle soup", and "smelt tempura". Each dish had a small portion but sampling a variety of flavors left us satisfied. The meal concluded with the "crab and kujo green onion clay pot rice", a perfect combination of crab and green onion with a hint of charred flavor. We finished off with "black sesame ice cream". We enjoyed sake that complemented the dishes throughout the meal. The attentive staff and quick service added to the pleasant dining experience. Though it's not easy to visit Joetsu, you can enjoy a taste of Joetsu in Ebisu at this restaurant. Bon appétit.

The restaurant had a clean and calming atmosphere. They were very helpful in recommending dishes that are perfect for the current season, and they were also accommodating to each person's preferences. The Japanese sake and rice were exceptionally delicious, and I left feeling completely satisfied.

This is a restaurant that can also be used for receptions, where you can enjoy Niigata sake. I visit regularly, and the menu changes with the seasons, but the grilled blackthroat sea perch was incredibly delicious. Grilled fish is really tasty, isn't it? On this day, we had a delicious meal of kujou leek and crab mixed rice. We enjoyed the sake from Joetsu, Chuetsu, and Nagaoka regions, and had a pleasant time with those who took care of us. It was a filming location for the drama "Hanzawa Naoki," so it was difficult to make a reservation at that time, but now it has calmed down.

A tonkatsu restaurant near Ebisu Station. The price range is slightly high. The interior is calm, with a large counter standing out. The atmosphere is suitable for business entertaining or long-term adult couples on a date. As for the tonkatsu, it is thick and juicy without being dry, with a crispy coating that is not greasy. Ideal tonkatsu. I enjoyed changing the taste with sauce, salt, and lemon, and it disappeared quickly.
