The last time I met my MBA classmates was pre-covid and one guy 10+ years! Timing wise one flew in from LA, another from Jakarta and there are a few working in Japan that I rarely see.
The choice was Andy's Shin Hinomoto under the train tracks in Yurakucho. Ive known about this place for forever but never ventured inside assuming it was a tourist trap.
Let the 5,000 yen food course begin! Drinks are separate. Started with a nice Salad.
Rather spacious!
Yum... Butter fried asparagus.
Then pan fried scallops with lemon and spicy sauce... Siracha?
The boys!
Sushi Platter! It was slightly devoured before I could get a proper photo. But sooo fresh!
I started this blog in 2009 and boy have I aged! Me and my MBA classmate Tony... honestly one of my best friends. He has always been so super cool to me.
White buttery creamy soft fish... I absolutely love this but its one of the most expensive types of fish you can buy at the supermarket. YUM!!
Chicken wings filled with GYOZA! I have only seen this at a few Izakaya's in Japan.
Jumbo Shrimp? Prawns?
Sweet grilled fish! I was sooo full buy this point.
These guys are all doing so well in their careers.
Udon! Oh man... Im so glad they served this last as all the delicious stuff came out first.
So many signatures on the restroom walls... unusually spacious.
This is Andy! He was so cool. Will definitely be back!
If in Japan and you needed to select just 1 Izakaya to go to... Andy's is the place! Great variety of food, staff super friendly and the atmosphere was so cozy. GO GO!!
