I went to eat chanko in Ginza, and I really liked the restaurant! The chanko restaurant is right next to Kanadanaka-san's place. I took the Oedo Line from Shinjuku and got off at Tsukiji Market. After some wandering around, I finally arrived at Sagasho-san's place. The entrance looked impressive, but there was no one to greet us. Huh? I saw a sign indicating to go up to the 2nd floor, so I went up the stairs and found the reception of the restaurant. The 2nd floor was the entrance, it seems. The items I ordered were as follows: Chanko Nabe (Salt) for 1 person - 3,000 yen, and Beer. The salt chanko nabe was reserved in advance for the number of people. There were other options like salt, soy sauce, and kimchi. The beautifully presented hot pot was filled with ingredients such as chicken meatballs, fresh wheat gluten, fried tofu, leeks, enoki mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, tofu, Chinese cabbage, radish, carrots, chicken, and white konjac. There were no seafood ingredients, it was more like a vegetable hot pot. The lightly salted flavor brought out the umami of the ingredients, making it a very delicious hot pot. The chicken meatballs were especially delicious. Mixing yuzu pepper into the salt chanko enhanced the flavor even more. Yuzu pepper goes really well with salt chanko. I usually only use yuzu pepper with yakitori, but it was really delicious in hot pot dishes. The yuzu pepper here was also delicious. It was a very tasty salt chanko. Considering the compatibility with yuzu pepper, I think salt chanko is the best recommendation. I remembered Kuranosuke Kizama, who I liked when I was a child. I would like to visit Kizama-san's chanko restaurant as well, but it's far in Shiga. While enjoying the chanko this day, I thought a little about Kizama Kizama. I looked at the banzuke (sumo ranking list), but I didn't see Kizama's name. I also looked for Terao's name, but it wasn't there. It might be interesting to go for lunch and try the chanko soup that comes with it. The lunch menu with chanko soup included is as follows: - Goshiki natto donburi - Kamaage shirasu donburi - Salmon and salmon roe parent and child donburi - Herbal curry (with chanko soup and drink for 1,000 yen each) (reference to website) I would like to try the special hitsumabushi set for lunch, priced at 2,300 yen (laughs)

Sumo tea house in Ginza 7-chome, close to Shinbashi Enbujo theater. They offer curry and set meals for lunch. The restaurant is crowded during lunchtime. The atmosphere is like a casual izakaya, and the staff are busy. They have two curry options: medicinal curry and pork cutlet curry, with the curry itself being the same but the size of the soup varies. I ordered the pork cutlet curry for 1300 yen. It was served in about 10 minutes with sauce and yuzu pepper on the table. The curry has a Japanese curry base with added spices, quite spicy like level 2 at CoCo Ichibanya. It's similar to House's Indian curry. The curry has minced meat and carrots mixed in, making it tasty. The pork cutlet is small and crispy, with a good flavor and texture. The soup has a delicate dashi flavor with plenty of vegetables and mushrooms. I think the larger medicinal curry would be better. The salad includes greens and cucumbers, which is nice. Overall, I enjoyed the pork cutlet curry lunch.

I had shijimi shabu-shabu instead of chanko, and it was delicious. The broth was so rich and flavorful, I almost wanted to drink it all. The meat was also delicious. After finishing the shabu-shabu, when I looked into the pot, there were a lot of shijimi clams! That's where that amazing broth came from... Thank you for the meal.

I thoroughly enjoyed the rich and flavorful salt chanko as the luxurious finale of the course. The atmosphere, reminiscent of a row of traditional Japanese restaurants, is delightful. Next time, I would like to try a different hot pot, such as kimchi stew or clam shabu-shabu. The private rooms seem suitable for dining with others.

Saga Sho Lunch. Curry is spicy, flavorful, and delicious. The minced meat is well done, the vegetables are well cooked. The hot pot soup is also excellent. The yuzu pepper is particularly noteworthy, with a fragrant and impactful flavor that leaves a refreshing aftertaste. It can be added to the hot pot soup, used as a dipping sauce for cutlets, or even paired with white rice. This yuzu pepper is truly exceptional.

In a large bowl, there was a rich clear soup with vegetables and fish cake balls. Across from the counter seats, there was a framed picture of the Wind God and Thunder God. The service was excellent. They offer 9 lunch options for 1,300 yen each. This time, I ordered the bakudan and an iced coffee, and paid in cash. It's unclear if they accept cash only, and I didn't receive a receipt.

We had a New Year's party at a restaurant in the neighborhood. Our boss used to work in an office nearby, so he knows this area very well. He took us to a nice restaurant, which made us happy. We started with traditional New Year dishes like fish cake, black beans, and marinated oysters in a large bowl. The sashimi was delicious, with fresh octopus, medium fatty tuna, and grilled Spanish mackerel with salt. We also had a hot pot with salted cod roe and yuzu pepper, as well as a vinegar dish with shrimp and bamboo shoots. Finally, we finished with noodles and left feeling satisfied. The paper mats had the sumo wrestler Saga-Noboru's ranking from 1988 printed on them. We called the staff by clapping wooden sticks. On our way out, we received the latest sumo ranking list. It was a delightful meal. Next time, we joked about going to the neighboring restaurant Gold Tanaka, but someone said it was too high-end for us. It's like a different dimension over there. We'll stick to taking the train.

Saga Noboru's Chanko Nabe: ¥3000. This famous chanko restaurant in Tokyo occupies a whole building, it's spacious and seems to have multiple floors. The appetizer was seaweed in a tea cup, white fish milt tempura, and shrimp. The shrimp tempura was incredibly delicious. The chanko nabe costs 3000 yen per person, with a photo showing a portion for 4 people. They offer salt, soy sauce, and kimchi flavors, with salt being the recommended choice. The presentation is beautiful, and the ingredients are cooked until the meat changes color, bringing out the flavors. The chicken meatballs are their specialty and very tasty. You can add yuzu pepper for extra flavor. Udon noodles are served at the end to finish off the meal. I recommend this place for business meetings near Ginza during this season.

Around noon, I had lunch at this restaurant and ordered the daily special for 1,200 yen. It seems like lunch is a set price of 1,200 yen without any additional options. The restaurant is a bit hard to find as it doesn't get much foot traffic. I took the elevator to the smoke-free second floor and was seated in a unique private room with a counter. The interior had a gentle indirect lighting and a traditional Japanese feel, but the chairs and tables had a heavy Western influence, which was interesting. The daily special was a marinated tuna and yellowtail rice bowl. I wasn't familiar with yellowtail, but it came with shrimp on top. It also came with soy sauce and yuzu pepper, which got me excited. The marinated fish was lightly seasoned, so I mixed soy sauce with yuzu pepper and wasabi to dip it in. It was refreshing. The soup was not miso soup, but a flavorful vegetable broth, almost like a hot pot broth. It was delicious. The pickled vegetables and simmered beans were also tasty. I was satisfied. The fish was delicious, so the daily special was good, but I had initially thought of ordering the Japanese-style tartar sauce cutlet bowl at the entrance, so I would like to try that next time. I'm also interested in dishes like five-color natto and large shrimp fry set meal.

Ate chanko in Ginza. Each person gets their own sashimi plate. Besides grilled fish, fugu tempura, steak, and hot pot, the portions were truly impressive. Great value for delicious food. Thank you for the meal. #Saga Noboru #Ginza #Ginza Gourmet #Chanko Nabe #Tsukiji Gourmet #Sumo #Salt Chanko #Japanese Cuisine #Hot Pot #Izakaya #Foodie #Delicious #Thank you for the meal #instafood #yummy #Gourmet #Delicious

The batter on the shrimp fry was so hard that it seemed like it had been fried twice, and the male staff member kept clicking his pen and sighing while also chuckling, which made me feel uncomfortable. He rushed our order and made us feel rushed, which didn't sit well with me. Additionally, they took away the menu I was looking at without asking and brought it to another table, even though each table should have its own menu.

I went to lunch at Saga Noboru next to Shinbashi Enbujyo after a long time. At night, I went to a hot pot restaurant. There seems to be a smoking area on the 2nd floor, so I went there. There are 9 lunch options, each for 1200 yen. This time, I chose the large shrimp fry. It arrived shortly after, with two large shrimps. I was wondering how it would taste, but they were quite big and filled inside, haha. The fry was crispy, and the homemade tartar sauce with plenty of eggs was delicious. I added yuzu pepper to the famous chanko soup. As a lunch option for salarymen, the restaurant is spacious and easy to drop by, so it's convenient to know.

As the weather gets colder, I wanted to eat delicious chanko hot pot, so I searched for chanko hot pot on Tabelog. I made a reservation at this restaurant, which is ranked number one for chanko hot pot in Tokyo as of November 2021. The restaurant is a short walk from Higashi-Ginza Station, right near the Shinbashi Enbujou. It has a traditional Japanese-style decor. You can choose between salt, soy sauce, or miso for the chanko hot pot. I chose the salt recommended by the restaurant on this day. I also ordered horse sashimi, shiitake mushrooms, and fried Saga tofu as side dishes. First of all, all of these appetizers before the hot pot were delicious. Especially the horse sashimi! I like horse sashimi and often eat it at other restaurants, but this one had just the right amount of fat and was very good. So, the first impression was good. However, I think that hot pot is a dish where it is difficult to showcase the skills of a chef and the difference between eating out and cooking at home is not very noticeable. Therefore, I had half expectations and half anxiety when I visited this restaurant aiming for chanko hot pot. However!! At this restaurant, I was able to feel the difference between eating out hot pot and homemade hot pot. The hot pot was packed with plenty of ingredients, filling the bottom of the large pot. The chicken meatballs were large and plentiful. The pork was thick and had a strong presence. And the deliciousness of these ingredients all melted into the soup was amazing! While it's true that even homemade salt chanko hot pot can be delicious in its own way. The deliciousness can sometimes be a bit blurry. The chanko hot pot at this restaurant had a sharpness that focused on bringing out the best in all elements. This is a chanko hot pot worth eating regularly.

I used it for a banquet. It was fun to call the staff with wooden clappers. Chanko was perfect for enjoying a lively hot pot meal together, so it was great for getting along with everyone. The location of the restaurant is away from the hustle and bustle, so it feels special when you go there for the first time.

Chanoko restaurant in Ginza 7-chome. They don't serve chanko for lunch, but their lunch menu is quite appealing. The Goshiki Natto Set for 1,200 yen includes natto, tuna, squid, white fish sashimi, okra, cucumber, pickled daikon, and egg yolk. This is a delicious dish! The slimy texture is great, especially during this season. Mixing it all together, the slimy rice is just so tasty. And it's also good for your body. The soup served is sumire soup, flavored with light soy sauce. It has a comforting taste. After boosting your energy with the slimy bowl, sipping this soup leaves a refreshing feeling in your mouth. I highly recommend adding this meal to the wardrobe of oily foods that modern people often consume. Thank you for the meal.

Today I went to Tsukiji's "Saganobori", known for its chanko-nabe. It has been over 40 years since I was taken there by a former boss, and the chanko-nabe, my second in life, had a perfect saltiness to it. The walls were covered with signatures of famous people from various fields, making it seem like a renowned restaurant. The only difficulty for an old man like me was that the portion size was too large. Thank you for the delicious meal.

The chanko nabe is delicious, but I also often use it for lunch. This time, I had the tender pork bowl for 1100 yen. It looks beautiful and the seasoning is good. The chanko soup that comes with it is also delicious. The combination of the sweetness of the sauce and the refreshing taste of the soup is great. Instagram ID: kuidaore.8.

Today, the temperature rose again, so I decided to come to this restaurant for some nourishment. I always come here for a quick energy boost ^^; This time, I ordered the mixed fry set with an additional 200 yen for the restaurant's special herbal curry topping. The fry was crispy and delicious as always. Now, about the herbal curry, it was slightly spicy but easy to eat. Moreover, it made my body feel warm, and I stayed cozy for almost an hour after eating. I definitely want to try the herbal curry again next time.

Today, I had lunch at Mr. Saga Noboru's restaurant for the first time in a while. The daily lunch special was already over, so I chose the Tartar Cutlet Bowl. Perhaps due to the recent coronavirus situation, there seemed to be fewer customers. Now, about the Tartar Cutlet Bowl - it had shredded cabbage on top of rice, with a cutlet and homemade tartar sauce. The shredded cabbage added a nice touch, and the cutlet wasn't too greasy, making it easy to eat. The soup was the usual salted chan-chan soup. By adding yuzu pepper, you can enjoy two different flavors.

Sometimes I passed by this shop that I was really curious about. I hesitated looking at the menu but decided to go in! I was drawn into the shop and after pondering what to order, I went for the daily special set meal. After a few minutes of waiting, it arrived - a seafood bowl with plenty of tuna! I was surprised by the variety of fish in it, and they were all delicious. The soup was also tasty! The cost performance was really good. I left satisfied.
