外苑前・馬刺しと串揚げ : Wazu

Exit Gaienmae Station on the Ginza Line. There is a Swallows shop on Stadium Street heading towards Jingu Stadium, and this shop is just before it. I've been to the bar-style restaurant on the first floor several times, and I stopped by this time before watching a game. Since it was before the game, it was crowded and I was directed to the third floor. Take the elevator to the third floor. The interior of the store is Swallows-friendly on the first floor and above. Sit at the counter. First, order a draft beer. I walked from Harajuku, so the cold beer is delicious. It's a bit of a drink, but I want it to fill my stomach. Fried Skewers and Kumamoto cuisine seem to be the best. For Fried Skewers, I ordered one each of squid, scallops, and chicken. You can also order one piece of horse sashimi, so I ordered two pieces. The horse sashimi came out right away. Eat with horse sashimi and onions in sweet sauce. Soft and delicious. I quite like horse sashimi because it has a bland taste, but the one at this restaurant is also delicious. When Fried Skewers were ready, I ordered lemon sour. Deep Fried Skewers while eating lemon sour. All delicious. The size is just right for a drink. Two glasses of sake and a specialty dish. The prices aren't cheap, but the food is delicious, and if you're a Swallows fan, you'll want to stop by at least once.

Get off at Gaienmae Station and head towards Jingu Stadium. This store is located along a street called Stadium Street. A great place to grab a quick drink before watching a baseball game. I had a drink at this restaurant the last time I watched the game. The game starts at 6pm on this day. I arrived at Gaienmae at 4pm, so I went into this store. The tables in the back are crowded. I sat at the counter seat in the front. First, I ordered a draft beer. Relax with a cold beer. The appetizer nuts come out. Drink slowly while eating nuts. Last time I didn't order any food. I wasn't really hungry that day either, but the food looked delicious, so I ordered something that looked like a side dish of pork. The food that came out was rich in flavor and quite delicious. And it goes well with beer. Drink 3 beers while eating nuts and pork. I'm also going to watch a baseball game, so I'll leave it at that. There are a lot of people in the store who love baseball, so it's nice to be able to casually talk about baseball while having a drink. Next time I'll try the slow cooking.

Stadium Street, where you get off at Gaienmae Station and head towards Jingu Stadium. This store is located just before the Yakult Swallows official shop. I passed this store on my way to the store, and it seemed to have a welcoming atmosphere for Yakult fans, so after shopping, I went back and entered the store. The feel of the restaurant is somewhere between Izakaya (Japanese-style bar) and a pub. There is a counter and table seats in the back. You will be shown to a table in the back. Order draft beer. After eating lunch, I drank beer while eating nuts and persimmon seeds. A cold draft beer while watching baseball is delicious! The customers around me are all baseball fans, so it's fun to have a drink while occasionally having a casual conversation. Two draft beers and two lemon sours. We had delicious drinks in a fun atmosphere.
