AKI If you want to taste local obanzai in Shinjuku, visit Izakaya “Yashiku”.
Located in Shinjuku Arakicho, this small restaurant attracts visitors with its obanzai made from local ingredients and cozy atmosphere.
Located on a quiet street away from the hustle and bustle of Shinjuku, “Yashiku” has a traditional atmosphere with warm wooden tables and chairs inside the restaurant.
The menu consists mainly of obanzai made with local ingredients, and the dishes change with the seasons. The menu is prepared with ingredients available at the counter, and you can tell the owner how you would like it cooked to your liking.
In Japanese izakaya (Japanese style pubs), “otsoshi” (appetizers) are always served. Even if you do not order it, it is automatically served to you. If you are not accustomed to this, you may feel depressed, but it is a speedy menu item that is a perfect accompaniment to drinks, and the taste of the izakaya can be measured by how good the “otsoshi” is. Of course, the “otsusashi” here is delicious.
This time, we first ordered an assortment of vegetable side dishes that change daily. If you also order the flounder simmered in soy sauce, the taste will deepen even more.
The squid geso was also the best.
Then there is, of all things, hokke and Shisyamo. Japanese seafood is truly delicious.
