Hyperlocal Tokyo

A well-established restaurant in the Toyosu area, known for its traditional Japanese set meals and izakaya (Japanese pub) atmosphere. It originated as a butcher shop, so their meat dishes are highly recommended. I visited during the weekday lunch hour. It can get quite crowded during lunchtime, so be prepared for a wait. Only set meals are available for lunch, starting from ¥1000. Expecting high-quality meat, I ordered the ginger-grilled pork set meal (¥1000). The moment I took a bite of the ginger-grilled pork, I was amazed by its tenderness. The seasoning was perfect, and the texture of the breading was just right. It was one of the most delicious ginger-grilled pork dishes I've ever had, and I was extremely satisfied.

This was a place I've wanted to try for a while. It's always crowded, so I never got a chance to go in, but thanks to the typhoon, I was able to get a table (before it started raining, of course!). The amberjack and bonito with ponzu sauce were decent. However, there was an extra charge to make it a set meal, so I ended up choosing the option with more volume. But it was definitely chewy and delicious. The highlight was the fish soup. It was the last serving of the day, so maybe it was a special portion, but it was a truly satisfying fish dish. I felt very happy.

This is a popular teishoku (set meal) restaurant in Toyosu that has been around for a long time. I'd never had the chance to go in before, but I happened to be passing by and saw that a seat near the entrance was becoming available, so I decided to give it a try. I had already decided to order the popular beef cutlet, but when I looked at the menu, I saw that they also had a wide variety of fish dishes. The salted squid, tuna with grated mountain yam, and marinated horse mackerel were all delicious and made me want to have a drink. If I wasn't careful, I would have been full before I even got to the meat. And then came the beef cutlet. It was delicious, and I could see why it was so highly rated on social media, especially since the restaurant is run by a butcher. It was a really great place for a solo meal. I'll definitely be coming back.

I wandered around looking for the restaurant. As I was about to cross the intersection, I noticed the restaurant's sign lit up in the direction of the park. Lunch is served from 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM, Tuesday through Friday. The menu is limited, but they offer a daily special. Only 60 servings are available. I had the chicken saute, which cost 1000 yen. It was delicious. The spaghetti and bean sprouts that came with it were a nice change. The miso soup was the same as always. It was a great meal.

I tried the famous minced meat cutlet as a set meal. It's simple but the best, allowing you to fully savor the pure flavor of the cutlet. I found the price to be very reasonable. The bonito sashimi I ordered alongside was also excellent. The menu is extensive, making me want to return soon.
