On this day, a Sunday which is known as "Good Meat Day", I went on an expedition to Shinjuku with some close friends led by my acquaintance, K-kun. But before that, we needed to adjust our stomachs, so where should we go? Since we're going to have meat later, how about some fish first? Oh, it's been a while, let's go there! And that's how we ended up visiting after 6 years - when we arrived, we noticed that the name of the restaurant had slightly changed.
- Assorted sashimi platter (3 types) for 580 yen (excluding tax): Tuna, horse mackerel, and flathead fish. The slices were thin for this price. As for the taste, the tuna was average, not exceeding expectations. The horse mackerel was delicious and the flathead fish had the most flavor, which was great.
- Appetizer for 200 yen: Simmered eggplant. Pretty standard.
- Nara's Junmai Ginjo Sake "Shinomiya Jyojyo" 90ml for 360 yen: I wasn't expecting much, but the taste was distinct to Junmai and easy to drink! The price was reasonable, so it was easy to order and had a good feel to it.
- Pacific saury sashimi for 380 yen: Not a recommended dish, but found it on the regular menu. Thinly sliced but with a good amount of fat, very delicious! Even better when paired with green onions. I really like oily fish.
- Tomato Highball for 450 yen: Still had time before the next restaurant reservation, and felt like having a drink, so I ordered this.
There were no customers when we entered, but soon after, 4 groups arrived. In the past, it used to be fully booked on weekends, so having this many empty seats was surprising. Overall, the restaurant here in Haruchika has a good selection of appetizers and Japanese sake. It's a place where you can casually drop by, and it's nice that there are seats available now. Thank you for the meal.
