Hyperlocal Tokyo

The food is very stylish. It's perfect for a girls' night out, but the restaurant isn't very big, so it might be better to go with just two people. The roasted rice crackers were absolutely delicious!

While it's a bit of a walk from the station, the restaurant is located on a corner lot, making it easy to spot. There are quite a few counter seats, and they're at the same height as the kitchen, so it seems like you could enjoy chatting with the owner even if you're dining alone. I'd definitely like to come here by myself sometime. The appetizer platter is quite generous, and it's a satisfying menu even on its own. The selection isn't huge, but the food is delicious! I really enjoyed it. They have a good selection of wines by the glass, which was great. They also have some unique shochu, which was also really delicious! It's a lineup that would definitely appeal to female customers. I'll definitely be back!

I had been wanting to try Ienomi for a while, and finally went there recently. It's located about a 2-minute walk from the north exit of the Kinshicho Lotte Hotel. The restaurant is small, with three tables for two and a counter that seats about 4-5 people. Everything from the appetizers to the main dishes was delicious. I ordered the "Almost All Kinds" appetizer platter (1,250 yen), which comes in a half-size option. I also tried the Angel Shrimp Fry, which I missed last time. The shrimp was plump and crispy, truly angelic. The Natto Ahijo was also incredibly tasty. I also had the Smoked Meat Wrapped Takuan, and all the dishes were excellent. I'm definitely coming back. Thank you for the delicious meal.

The place was bustling with customers, but I felt comfortable even dining alone. The food was delicious! I loved everything. I'm already looking forward to trying something different next time. Thanks for the great meal!

The food was so delicious, I'd give it 10 stars if I could! Haha. It's no exaggeration to say this place is a haven for sake lovers, with dishes that perfectly complement the drinks. And the prices are incredibly reasonable! The appetizer, roast pork, is only 280 yen (cheap!), the sake-thief cream cheese dip is 550 yen (generous portion), the grilled tuna belly (with an amazing sauce) is 770 yen, and the warm egg cream risotto (the flavor is incredible) is just over 1000 yen. With a few drinks, the total came to less than 5000 yen! All the menu items are tax-included, which is a nice touch. The cozy atmosphere and lack of excessive noise are also a plus. It was a truly wonderful experience. Thank you for the delicious meal, I'll definitely be back soon. Note that there are only about 10 seats and a few standing spots, so it's probably best to call ahead. The female staff member's lack of friendliness was a bit disappointing, but she was efficient in her work.
