NAKAMURABASHI: Yasui-Seiniku-Ten... A butcher that offers some great value bentos! Wagyu Kalbi for me!! (Sony a57)

On my way to my favorite greengrocer to pick up some cheap broccoli and just across they street was a brand new butcher that also offered some very reasonable bentos.  Had to give it a try!

Bento price point started from 380 yen for Noriben, Teriyaki chicken 480 yen but had to go for the Wagyu Kalbi Bento for 580 yen!  They also offered Wagyu Menchi 150yen and Meat Corokke for 100... gotta try next time. 

The kalbi was very meaty and rather thick for a bento.  Normally meat bento`s are sliced very thin but this was great.  Its the kind of meat you order at a yakiniku restaurant.  Had a great sweet seasoning with stir fried with onions. 

I will definitely be back when I get a yakiniku craving on a budget.

TOSHIMAEN: Yakiniku Sanga to give the pig feet and least expensive 330 yen young kalbi a try! (OLYMPUS E-PM1)

Yakiniku Sanga in one of the most popular restaurants in Toshimaen... an area that has so very few restaurants but hopefully that will change when the new Harry Potter park opens in 2023.

Lined up at 4:50pm on a Thursday evening!  Only about 5 people lined up... on the weekends it usually a 1.5 to 2 hour wait. 

Oh my this 1,980 yen meat looked sooo good. 

Bottled beer!  My old Olympus E-PM1 doesn`t automatically rotate photos...

The Kalbi menu!  Little did I realize that there was a 330 yen yakiniku menu option called Young Kalbi.

480 yen Kalbi! The few marbled pieces were soo tender but the other pieces I just couldn`t bite into the fatty part... unfortunately it ended up in a tissue. 

480 yen Harami!

480 yen Rooosu...!

Friend ordered chilled pig feet! Said the collagen is great for your skin... just 1 piece for me. 

Kimchee set.

Now for the Young Kalbi 330 yen!  It just looked so supermarket grade... it wasn`t very good and a bit tough.   

And we close out the bill! 4,150 yen for 2 people.  This night the meat wasn`t as tender as usual... find it odd as so many restaurants are closed due to Covid (coronavirus) that high quality beef must be accessible at deep discounts due to low demand.  Anyways was a miss this night will try again!

My other entries!  https://tokyobelly.blogspot.com/search?q=sanga

I have alot of cameras but mainly use my Sony RX100 due to the great low light F1.8 lens but this day took out an old school Olympus E-PM1... less bokeh with 14mm F2.5 lens so everything is in focus. Need to take out my other once in a while.

OIZUMIGAKUEN: Doma Doma Izakaya does it again! 20% off coupon on already super cheap 181 yen beers! (Sony RX100)

Have a friend who lives in this town and often goto his regular izakaya spots but this day due to coronavirus we decided to hit up Doma Doma that has semi private booths rather than a very open dining area.   PLUS! Got luck to spot a Gnavi 20% off secret coupon !https://r.gnavi.co.jp/a221600/coupon/

Beers and Whisky Hi-balls are normally 181 yen but with the coupon only 145 yen!  Now thats probably one of the best deals you will find in Tokyo!

Basic and several types of Whisky Hi-Balls on the 181 yen menu.

Beer was soooo ice cold that it was quite slushy!  YUM! Love it when they freeze the glass mugs.

Tablet menu in English, Japanese and Chinese.

Not much of a fan of seasoned eggplant with mustard dip... 

Always a great choice with beer! Grilled Manta Ray. 

The best item of the night!  Red Hot Chicken with loads of pepper.

Very very flavorful!  Definitely a must. Ordered a half size. 

All the items on the tablet are pictured in the printed menu.  So if you get lost trying to find something on the tablet just use the push button to hail the waitress. 

We were seated in an area that had shoe lockers... super close to the restroom. 

10 highballs, 6 draft beers, 3 food items and otoshi fee (table charge)...  3 full hours with 20% off only 4,335 yen!  Definitely a great deal for Tokyo if you like to drink. 

If you spot a Doma Doma franchise in Tokyo remember to look up the foodie sites like Gnavi or Hotpepper to get their free discount coupons!  Just show the staff and you are all set.
