EKODA: Yakiniku No Tetsujin Hinata is back! But no longer called Tori (bird) no Tetsujin... 1,650 yen menu shrunk. (Sony RX100)

A good friend and I always use to visit Tori-no-Tetsujin for their amazing all you can eat and drink for only 1,500 yen that included 1 draft beer but the Shakuji Koen branch closed down and the Ekoda branch was renamed to Yakiniku-no-Tetsujin.

There are 2 sections to the restaurant. The back has tables and entrance area take off your shoe seating.

Its been years but the menu was pretty much all Yakitori but also lots of Yakiniku Options.

Our 1,650 yen plan included everything in the far left column... the vegetable selection really shrunk.

Only 4 types of veggies included in the plan.  Don't let the prices here fool ya.. they gave just a few slices that must have cost the shop about 10-20 yen.

QR Code Ordering System.

Think they started this system to cut down on staff.

Initial plate comes out automatically with 2 or 3 types of meats including chicken.



Charcoal grill,

Eringi mushroom and onions.


Yup.. this chicken neck was not me! It was really crunchy and chewy. 



Overall the food is rather junky and I kinda thing everything is imported except for the veggies.  If you are a heavy drinker then totally recommend this spot otherwise its crazy smokey and food rather lowly.

EKODA: Teppan-Yaki ORELA... perfect service, casual atmosphere and fun food!

Its been about 3 years since my last venture into a Monja-Okonomiyaki spot and with the help of Groupon I scored for 2,500yen (all you can eat and drink) for 50% off... 1,250yen each for 2hours!  


Looks like they were having a 1st drink free during Golden Week.

One large table at the entrance.

Long counter seating with views of the bartenders and chef at work.

Pre-made Okonomiyaki arrived before we ordered... a great starter.

And here it is!  Our all you can drink and eat menu.  The food mainly focused on the Monja but a fun selection of baby-star, pork kimchee, curry with mini hotdogs, mentaiko-cheese, negi-shoga with tiny shrimps and potage.  Its just fun food.

Mentaiko-Cheese...

The cooking style is a bit different than Okonomiyaki so the waiter immediately noticed we were a bit lost and got things started.  Service was just spot on great!


Counter seating...






Baby-Star okonomiyaki...



Meet Jun (guy in black) bartender and master chef... perfect service and super friendly.

Dessert... Crepe with chocolate and azuki beans.


Meet the head chef who was cooking in along the counter... another great guy.

Overall this place is easily 5 stars. Its just a great thing when you can cook your food and everything is hot hot... I'll definitely be back!

EKODA: Oshidori Izakaya for a wonderful Motsu-Nikomi-Teishoku!

I'm huuuuge fan of Motsu-Nikomi and even a bigger fan of reasonably priced food so this menu caught my eye.  570yen for a full Motsu-Nikomi Lunch! I'm there!

This place was incredibly spacious... some tables but mostly floor seating.

I later looked at this menu and noticed they have Sashimi Teishoku for 780yen!  The guy next to ordered it and wow there was so much fish... On my list for next week!

Arrived fairly quickly.


This was just soooo tasty with a nice spicy kick.  Super tender pieces of Motsu YUM!!



Long table seating...


Interesting crowd.  Elderly, young couples, college guys and families. Everyone loves this place.

Seasonal Japanese Flowers... all over town.  I'll be back Oshidori!
