水餃子・タンドリーチキン・サモサなどグローバルなメニューが揃う昭和レトロな飲み屋街にある焼鳥店 : Koshitsu Izakaya Torihachi

(2023/12/29) Used on weeknights in early October 2023. This time, as it was a dinner with young juniors, we left all the shops to them and gathered at the designated Yaesu exit of Tokyo Station. Search "Kimura's notes" for detailed information with explanation of each photo! ↓ http://kimura.li/memo/?p=45311 <Where is the store?> restaurant is located about 2 minutes away from Yaesu North Exit of Tokyo Station, but since you need to cross the road, it takes less than 5 minutes in total and is reasonably accessible near the station. Cross the pedestrian crossing in front of the Yaesu North Gate ticket gate and proceed toward Kanda while looking at Tokyo Station on the left. Go for about 20 meters, turn right at the first alley where the building containing the Tokyo Tatemono LABI Tokyo Yaesu store is located on your right, turn left at the alley just ahead, and go for about 20 meters while looking at the headquarters building of Yamada Denki on your right. At first glance, it looks like a dead end, but there is a narrow alley lined with bars on the right, so if you go there, you will see a bar on the left after about 10 meters. Compared to the refined atmosphere of the Marunouchi side, you can enjoy the atmosphere of going back in time to the Showa drinking district. <How crowded is the store?> This time, it was just after 18:00 on a weekday, so not only this shop but also the other shops in the vicinity were still noticeably empty. As I was making a reservation for a small group, I was guided to a cozy seat on the 1st floor, which has about 3 box seats for 4 people, but apparently there are also seats on the 2nd floor, so the total capacity is about 70 people, which is reasonable. Although the restaurant has a bright atmosphere based on wood, there is no "private room" atmosphere, which is widely described on the official website and gourmet website. If you imagine a private room with a so-called door and a wall, at least the first floor doesn't have that atmosphere at all, so be careful. Also, although the table seats themselves are designed to seat 4 people, it is quite narrow and the access is difficult, which is a negative point. <What do you recommend?> As you can imagine from the name of the restaurant, I thought it was a yakitori restaurant, but it basically looks like a yakitori restaurant. Starting with the so-called assortment of skewers, there is a complete menu of major yakitori, but in addition, there are also some Indian dishes such as mizu Gyoza/Dumpling, yakiuri, and, in interesting places in Other, samosas, tandoori chicken, and papad. I wondered why, but after looking around the store, I understood. All the staff seem to be from India and Nepal, and they also serve their soul food. All orders were left to my companion, but while I mainly ordered yakitori restaurant dishes such as' Yakitori Assortment (980 yen), '' Chicken Teppan-yaki (1000 yen), '' Potato Salad (750 yen), 'and' Jidori Yakimeshi (1000 yen), 'I also ventured into' Mizu Gyoza/Dumpling (750 yen), '' Shumai (750 yen), 'and' Tandoori Chicken (1400 yen). '. It was not on the table when I entered the restaurant, but when I looked at the drink menu, I found an additional all-you-can-drink menu. < Summary >This time, 3 people used the hotel and ordered 2500 yen all-you-can-drink and 7 dishes, for a total of about 15000 yen, or about 5000 yen per person, which was a reasonable amount. Considering the fact that the all-you-can-drink is 2500 yen, it would not cost 2500 yen per person if it was only a dish, and it would not cost 4000 yen if it was only 2 drinks, but I had an image that the taste and the price of the dish were half-priced. The food is not served with care, but rather with the impression that it is served as it is for business use. Also, all the staff members were from India and Nepal, and I ordered the Indo-Nepal menu, which was listed on the menu in a separate box, hoping for a local feel, but it didn't feel like it was handmade. The price of the all-you-can-drink was high considering the list of drinks offered, and even though it was the Yaesu price, it felt a little expensive considering the level of the food and the atmosphere of the restaurant.
