Its Golden Week in Japan! 10 days off for most everyone! So I had to explore a rather busy Yakiton spot in Higashi Nakanno.
This looks like their lunch set menu.
Yakiton menu. Yaki is grill and Ton is pork. Most are familiar with Yakitori (Tori is Chicken).
Drink Menu.
Very unusual to see such a huge bottle of Red Star Sapporo Beer! Usually its one step smaller.
Anyways I sat down directly in front of 2 chefs that looked like zombies... nobody was happy here. Waited over 5 minutes to see if they would ask me what I`d like to order... nope. Not very customer friendly.
Huge fan of Motsu-Nikomi and its the house specialty here!
Quite the volume for 450 yen (100 yen extra for additional boiled egg).
After one bite this was sooo watery and incredibly flavorless. Wow... never had it this bad.
Lots of great Japanese oldies on the BGM.
The main Yakiton chef.
OK! Took the risk to order the Omakase 3 piece set for 291 yen
Yup! I knew it! The sauce was sooo tasty! But as for these parts there are very rubbery... kind of like chewing a piece of rubber so you either have to swallow it or just keep on chomping.
Seasonings.
As I paid the waiter gave me a little plastic bag with this note. It reads "Thank you very much for coming to our shop. Hope you have an enjoyable time here. We would be so happy if you could use our home made carrot dressing. From Yakiton TeruTeru Higashi Nakano branch.. smiley face." What the first and only smile is this!
How many drops of carrot juice is this? Gonna have to buy a super tiny salad.
Overall its a cozy restaurant that seems to have a great variety of izakaya foods but the unhappy staff made the experience rather bleak. Maybe a great place to go with friends or on a date if you don`t mind the staff.
