I love oysters. When I go out to eat with friends, I tend to choose dishes that children can't eat. After an information session, I went to "Oyster and Sake Shiki (SHIKI) Ikebukuro Nishiguchi Eki-mae" in Ikebukuro with a friend who also loves oysters. Located just a 1-minute walk from Ikebukuro Nishiguchi Station! 30 seconds from the Metropolitan Exit! It's on the 7th floor of Seagull House in front of Ikebukuro Nishiguchi Park. Despite being close to the station, almost all seats are completely private rooms. This restaurant offers oysters all year round at a reasonable price. I was recommended this place by my oyster-loving friend. We started with a toast with beer - "Dokubo" white beer, which is said to go well with oysters. It has a dry taste with a rich citrus aroma and a refreshing taste. It made me even more excited to have oysters. First, we had Ikura and salmon salad. Since it's an oyster restaurant, I also recommend other seafood dishes. This Ikura and salmon salad comes in a half-size portion with plenty of fresh Ikura and salmon. We enjoyed it with carrot dressing. Then, we had a mix of 3 types of fresh oysters. We started with the creamy and smooth-textured Magaki oyster from Otsuchi, Iwate. It had just the right amount of richness. Next was the creamy Uramura oyster from Mie Prefecture, even creamier than the Otsuchi oyster, with a sweeter taste. Lastly, we enjoyed the plump and thick Iwagaki oyster from Goshogawan, Ehime. It had a strong presence and was very satisfying. We only used lemon to enjoy the original taste of the oysters. Since the oysters were delicious, we also ordered sashimi. We had my favorite Akage shrimp and uni sashimi. The sashimi was also delicious! After beer, it was time for sake. We ordered "IMA," a sake made specifically to pair with oysters. It's a sake that allows you to enjoy the sweetness and acidity like white wine. I wanted to enjoy oysters a bit more, so we had grilled oysters from Hiroshima. The savory and fragrant taste of grilled oysters was also delicious. We finished it all and moved on to the dessert mode. We enjoyed a relaxing plum wine from Kobayashi Shuzo in Oyama, Tochigi. It had a good balance of sweetness and acidity, with a refreshing and easy-to-drink taste. It was delicious. We couldn't resist ordering sweets again. A combination of Shiratama and matcha. This Japanese taste is so good. Oysters are often associated with winter, but Iwagaki oysters are in season in summer, and the season varies depending on the region and type, so you can enjoy them all year round. "Shiki" is a restaurant near the station where you can enjoy oysters all year round at a reasonable price. Since it has completely private rooms, you can enjoy oysters without any hesitation. I fully enjoyed oysters at this place! They have a wide variety of sake and other alcoholic beverages, so it's also recommended for alcohol lovers! I would definitely go back to this place when I crave oysters again.

I have been to this restaurant a few times, and it's a place I can easily go to when I feel like eating oysters. It's quite close to the station too. The gout hot pot had a lot of ingredients in it, so it couldn't taste bad! And I was able to eat until I was full!

I made a reservation about 15 minutes ago and entered the restaurant. The ceiling was low and I had to bend down to reach my seat, which was a bit awkward. The sashimi, oysters (although one looked a bit off), and fried food were delicious, but the rice in the clay pot was a bit watery and lacked flavor. The staff were attentive and came quickly when called, but I wonder if they will be okay for a second visit, haha.

On Friday night, I decided to eat out alone because there was no food at home. I was craving oysters, so I remembered there was an oyster restaurant on the upper floor of the building where I usually go to eat. I visited the restaurant without a reservation after 6 pm, and they said I could be seated until 7 pm. I quickly ordered a platter of three types of raw oysters, oyster fry, grilled oysters, and a draft beer. Raw oysters are always the best for me. The biggest raw oyster had great texture and flavor. The oyster fry was also delicious with big pieces. I will definitely visit again when I crave oysters!

[Ikebukuro Exploration Adventure Part 97] (Unusual Ikebukuro drinking experience. 2/2) After finishing my solo activities at "Banpaiya" for the 0th round, I arrived at the second destination, "Kaki to Nihonshu Shiki," which is the main restaurant for today. This time, I decided to visit a different Ikebukuro restaurant with my colleague, making a reservation in advance. The reservation time was 18:30. I arrived first, and soon after, my colleague arrived as well. Since the menu was predetermined as a course, we checked the drink menu and placed our orders. [Menu for Today] - Oyster Feast Course (2-hour all-you-can-drink included) A feast of domestic raw oysters and creative oyster dishes course 10 items for 5,480 yen x 2 Let's start with a cheers to a job well done! I had a highball, while my colleague had a draft beer for the cheers. The highball was quite weak, so I switched to whiskey on the rocks. This seemed to get me quite drunk! After that, I had a lemon sour, a barley soda mix, and another highball. My colleague had a draft beer, white wine, red wine, a red eye, and another draft beer. As expected, we alcohol enthusiasts enjoyed the all-you-can-drink option! [Domestic Raw Oysters Assortment] Raw oysters with their place of origin included! This marks the beginning of an oyster feast. Hyogo's Murotsu-produced oysters: incredibly sweet taste! Iwate's Kamaishi-produced oysters: very creamy flavor. We enjoyed the different flavors of these two raw oysters. Delicious! [Today's Salad] A seafood salad with sunny lettuce as the centerpiece, along with sliced onions, cherry tomatoes, seaweed, tobiko, and sashimi. The dressing was a slightly salty soy sauce-based dressing. [Oyster Oil Pickles] Oysters that have been slightly dried and then marinated in oil. The combination of the slightly spicy oil with red pepper and the concentrated umami of the oysters is delicious. [Oyster Gratin] Creamy bechamel sauce, large oysters, and crispy breadcrumbs. The oyster broth that comes out is amazing, and the gratin is delicious! [Homemade Oyster Fry] The oysters have been carefully coated in batter by hand, resulting in a flat shape rather than the usual round shape. Squeezing a little lemon, adding a pinch of salt, and taking a bite! The crispy batter and the overflowing oyster juice make for an exquisite oyster fry. [Grilled Oysters Assortment] Grilled oysters with two different seasonings. Mentaiko sauce: the combination of mentaiko and oysters is excellent! Yuzu pepper: the mild spiciness of yuzu pepper mixed with grated daikon is just right. [Oyster Hot Pot Rice] The final dish is a hot pot rice with oysters, clams, and shimeji mushrooms, similar to oyster mixed rice. The chewy rice and the salty salmon roe on top are delicious. We had a bowl at the restaurant and made onigiri with the rest to take home. [Pickled Vegetables Assortment] Pickled cucumbers and turnips, and pickled paprika. The lightly salted pickling is perfect. Turnips are a popular choice for a palate cleanser in the Ikebukuro area. [Today's Miso Soup] Miso soup with red miso, seaweed, and chopped green onions as toppings. Delicious. [Dessert] Yuzu sherbet, refreshing. [Recommended Dish] - Oyster Fry! While raw and grilled oysters are delicious, the large oyster fry was a delightful experience. [Editor's Note] - Visit Time Foodlog Score: 3.40 - Paid by card this time. - Lucky to be able to eat oysters in the middle of summer!! - Oysters always make you feel happy when you eat them. - The all-you-can-drink option was a bit lacking. - Couldn't find the title "creative oyster dishes" on the menu. - The forced feeling of the second floor, a bit cramped. [Rating for Today] Overall: 3

It's been a while since I visited Ikebukuro. When searching on Tabelog, most of the top-ranked restaurants were ramen places, but my partner mentioned craving oysters, so we decided to try a restaurant near the west exit of Ikebukuro. The restaurant had a cozy, slightly dim interior with private booth seating. They had a good selection of sake, and you could order half portions at half the price, which was great for trying different types. We started with fresh shirasu as a complimentary dish, followed by a seafood chorogi salad and Inca potato fries. The highlight was the assorted raw oysters and tuna sashimi topped with sea urchin and salmon roe. The oysters were delicious, and the sea urchin was a luxurious touch. The oyster hot pot rice took a while to be served, but it was worth the wait with its rich flavor. We also tried the crab sauce omelette, which was tasty. Overall, the restaurant offered a good selection of seafood and sake, although the value for money was debatable due to the high prices of seafood.

I had to drink suddenly in Ikebukuro and found this place. It is located in a building with many restaurants and the building itself is quite old. The interior of the restaurant, with its old tables, tatami mats, and walls, was on a high floor of the building, but it was a bit scary to see cracks in the window glass. I didn't drink much alcohol, so I can't comment on that, but the food was delicious. I ordered the salmon roe bowl because I wanted to eat it, and I was glad to see plenty of salmon roe on top. If you can overlook the interior facilities, it's a delicious restaurant with private rooms.

I used the all-you-can-drink sake and oyster course. The fresh oysters were delicious and there was a wide variety of sake, so I was very satisfied. I think it's great value for money! It's nice that you can smoke heated tobacco in the private room for smokers. The fresh oysters were really delicious, so I would be happy if there was a course where you can eat more fresh oysters. I used it for two people, and I was satisfied with the content. The amount of the course is just right for women. It may be a little less for men. I ordered additional fresh oysters. I would like to use it again.

I felt like eating oysters, so I entered the restaurant. The interior seemed like it used to be a night shop. There were many menu items that seemed to go well with alcohol, but the atmosphere was a bit off-putting. I was worried if it was okay to eat oysters there, but since everyone else was ordering, I decided to order as well. In the end, the oysters were not bad, but the experience was not as enjoyable as I had hoped.

Visited a Turkish restaurant for a second time for a post-party gathering. This time, we were seated in a cozy hidden spot under the stairs as there were only narrow tables available. Although the back seat was a bit cramped and stuffy due to poor air circulation, we asked to be moved to a seat near the entrance and felt much better. We enjoyed some oyster gratin and smoked cheese to snack on while having a light drink. The comfort level of the seating greatly affects the overall experience at this restaurant.

I visited the second bar for a daytime drinking session. My friend who was with me is a smoker, so they were grateful that smoking was allowed in the bar. We enjoyed fresh oysters, grilled oysters, and fresh sea urchin while sipping on highballs and lemon sours. The seating was comfortable with sofa-like chairs. I am curious about trying the gout hot pot in the winter. The price is a bit high at 2980 yen per person, but I would like to give it a try.

I had some business in Ikebukuro, and my companion wanted to eat fish, so I searched for a fish shop in Ikebukuro. I don't come to this area often, so I didn't know many shops and carefully checked reviews before choosing this one. To cut to the chase, it was really great! I must admit, I didn't have high expectations due to the location and cheap interior, but it was really good!! What was so great about it? 1. The sake was amazing!! The lineup was incredibly luxurious!! They had pretty much every famous sake you can think of! I don't think there are many shops in Tokyo that have such a variety! Looking at the menu again, it's really impressive! I want to bring all my sake-loving friends here. You can order by the cup or glass, so you can try different types, which is great! 2. The food was delicious! Especially tasty were the fresh oysters and grilled blackthroat seaperch! The oysters were a good size and creamy and delicious! I liked the ones from Hyogo Prefecture so much that I ordered more. The fried chicken was made with Oyama chicken! It was well seasoned and delicious! The firefly squid and crab miso were ordinary but paired incredibly well with the sake! 3. The staff were great. All the staff members were friendly and provided good service! They also explained the sake well! Wait, isn't this a really great restaurant?! I will definitely come back when I'm in Ikebukuro again!! Thank you for the wonderful meal.

[Date and Availability] I visited on Thursday night around 6 pm. I was able to get in without a reservation. [Food] Assorted 10 types of oysters with sake that goes well with oysters. [Impressive Points] The oysters were large and flavorful! [One word] Among the oyster restaurants in Ikebukuro, this one had the highest satisfaction level! It was also nice to have a 10% off coupon. The sake that goes well with oysters didn't really suit my taste. ---Star Rating Criteria--- 5 stars: Will make time to visit again. 4 stars: Will visit again if location and time align. 3.5 stars: Had a good time. 3 stars: Neither good nor bad. 2.5 stars: Some aspects were not good.

I found a restaurant where I can eat fresh oysters and enjoyed delicious oysters from all over the country at Yonji in Ikebukuro. I found that the smaller oysters have a richer taste compared to the larger ones. The grilled oysters had various flavors and were all delicious. In addition to that, they also had dishes like shirako in ponzu sauce, miso cream cheese, and oyster cooked rice, all of which were dangerously delicious. It was a lineup of dishes that went perfectly with sake. Everything, from the delicious fresh oysters to the dishes, was a treat.

I had a course meal filled with oysters. The oysters were all large and satisfying to eat. I was surprised that they didn't shrink much when cooked. Every dish was delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice, and the private room provided a calm space. I didn't expect to find such a nice restaurant in Ikebukuro.

We visited the restaurant as a pair, sitting facing each other in a private room with a sliding door entrance. Overall, the food was delicious! The oysters were especially amazing (*¯ ꒳¯*) The sashimi was also fresh and thickly sliced. We enjoyed it with sake (◍´꒳`)b However, it was a bit disappointing that the rooms were not completely isolated, and the smell of smoke from the neighboring room drifted in, possibly due to smoking being allowed with electronic cigarettes. If this is a concern for you, please take note.

I visited this restaurant expecting to enjoy sake and oysters, and the quality of the food exceeded my expectations. However, the interior was quite run-down (which is fine, but it seemed neglected) with dust and rust visible in various places. The warped air conditioning and dirty ducts were also noticeable, making me not want to stay for a long time. Nonetheless, the service was good, and there was attention to detail.

After work, a colleague requested to go to a hot pot restaurant, so we headed there directly. We had made a reservation, but the seats were cramped and felt crowded. In addition to hot pot, they also offer a set where you can try oysters from different regions. Upgrading to premium Japanese sake allows you to try unique and rare sake varieties.

We had a gathering with 6 people at this restaurant. It wasn't a blind date, unfortunately, but we were looking forward to the delicious oysters that this unknown place is known for! We were led to a private room with a calm atmosphere dominated by black tones. It felt like a high-class chain izakaya you'd find around the Kabukicho and Ikebukuro area. We started with a toast with beers priced at 610 yen for a glass, which wasn't as expensive as we thought it would be. Moving on to the menu, everything looked delicious. We ordered a 10-piece platter of fresh oysters for 5,280 yen and a sashimi assortment of 5 kinds for 990 yen per person. The oysters were fantastic, plump and creamy, and the sashimi was also very tasty, especially the sweet and tender shrimp. The main dish, an oyster hot pot in miso flavor, was a hit with its generous portion and rich taste. We also tried the oyster clay pot rice, which was a must-try. We ended up ordering too much food, including whitebait ponzu, rolled omelette, and fried oysters, and everyone's stomachs were full of delicious indulgence. Despite trying to drink moderately, the bill ended up being a bit higher than expected, but the quality of the food and the relaxing atmosphere made it worth it. I'm curious about their sister restaurant, so I'd like to visit there someday. Thank you for the feast!

I used this restaurant for the first time at a drinking party with friends. For seafood lovers, it offers a great selection of dishes, including raw oysters, grilled oysters, and oysters topped with salmon roe and milt. The gout hot pot was delicious, with the ankimo melting into the broth, making it rich and flavorful. Thank you for the wonderful meal.
