干物ブランド半助さんの魅力。～夜中に貝とドライエージングミートと珍味を喰らう～ : Jukusei Niku Izakaya No Tabouzu

When you want to eat small delicacies and snacks in the middle of the night. When you want to eat a lot of fish and relax in the middle of the night. When you want to munch on a big chunk of meat in the middle of the night. Mr. Notabouzu follows me. I like going down the stairs and opening the dark, antique-looking hidden door. LOL It's exciting to hear the faint sounds of jazz music. It's probably random depending on the number of customers, such as until 12:00 a.m. or until 3:00 a.m., and when it's a one-off operation, I feel really sorry... The only drawback is that I have to leave to get some air. but. LOL There is a counter and a slightly recessed seat like a semi-private room. The inside of the store is dimly lit and has a good atmosphere, both of which I like as they feel comfortable. It's a great atmosphere for couples and friends, but it might be too crowded for two fit men.This time, I was guided to a private room. I couldn't help but order the ``Squid Liver Pickled in Soy Sauce'' and the ``Five Types of Shellfish Sashimi'' that I ordered started lol. Even as I'm writing this, I'm starting to feel like eating more, so I'm in trouble lol. It's Izakaya (Japanese-style bar) that's open until midnight. Although there are ``sashimi platters,'' there are very few places that have ``shellfish platters,'' so as a shellfish lover, I'm really happy. And there are many kinds. I'm also happy that the delicacies aren't just octopus and salted fish. This "Squid Liver Pickled in Soy Sauce"... has a taste that will make you want to drink sake. *Well, I don't drink much Japanese sake, but lol* Basically, I think most of the drinks are sake, highballs, shochu, etc. It might just be my imagination, but have there been more wine bottles? They have things other than house wine at cheap prices, as well as Kohaku Ebisu and other things you might want to drink. Also, Notabouzu seems to be running special campaigns depending on the day. Some are reserved only, but drinks are cheaper. I'm grateful that the store staff is kind enough to tell me this even in the middle of the night. Basically, I'm happy because it's often unavailable during the night. This time, we have ponzu sauce with milt, charcoal-grilled donko shiitake mushrooms, and grated beef skirt steak with ponzu sauce. And maybe it was my first time at Izakaya (Japanese-style bar)? I ordered "half mackerel". I don't particularly dislike ``dried fish,'' but I haven't ordered it in a long time. But then I realized that they were selling Notabouzusan dried fish and dry aged meat brands. lol Isn't this delicious? ? ? I asked the store staff about the difference between the ``white belt'' and ``branding iron'' of the dried fish brand ``Hansuke,'' and ordered a half. First of all, I love Shirako, so I'm so happy to have it in stores. I was torn between using red bean liver...but I like the plumpness of Shirako. It was a little slimy, but I'm grateful that the store has it. LOL The charcoal-grilled donko shiitake mushrooms were smaller than I expected...I was expecting them to be a little thicker and bigger, so I was a little nervous. Grated beef skirt steak with ponzu sauce. This suddenly tasted like junk, but it's perfect when you want to eat meat in the middle of the night and it's filling. I was left with ponzu sauce, so I should have changed it to something a little richer. I was also interested in dry aged meat, but it's a little pricey lol Now, what I'm looking for is dried hansuke. Ugh! ! ! Even though it's only half the body, it's packed with a lot of meat, making it very satisfying to eat. Is dried fish this plump and thick? ? ? I was surprised. It has plenty of fish flavor and is easy to loosen with chopsticks. It's irresistible for alcoholic drinkers, and I definitely recommend it to those who like Japanese sake. Lastly, I ordered the soy sauce butter grilled Onigiri and was completely satisfied with just one. The menu is updated from time to time, and I always go there late at night, but it's my favorite restaurant. Notabouzu has everything you want to eat in the middle of the night. I think I'll ask you again soon. lol

This is the shop I used when I participated in Shimokitazawa's event "Barubaru Shimokitazawa Ladder Sake". ★ I used it during the event period, but I used ★ it normally, not an event set * The store participating in the event will offer 1 drink for 1000 yen + 1 drink or 400 yen for 1000 yen per item (500 yen if sold in advance) on the day of the event (500 yen if sold in advance). When you purchase a wristband, there is an event map, and food photos and explanations are posted, so you can go anywhere you like. Of course, depending on the time of day, it may be full, so be careful! Participation restaurant has a participation poster in front of the store. It seems to be held regularly, and the shops participating each time are different. This time, the wristband is available in three colors. It was a color coding that determined the degree of "Drinking Friend Wanted". * Do you love events? That's me. I have to eat a dish! I have to drink a drink! There are times when I want to take a break from this state of mind. I'm already full, and I'm moving around to unfamiliar places, so I want to sit down and go on a drinking trip again.... The place where you stop when you say w - that's this [Notabozu]. I think that the restaurant used to be a seafood-related favorite, mainly "strings", but when I noticed it, it was changed to "aged meat" and I wonder if the business format has changed? It seems that the aged meat of the long-established dry-aging "Sanoman" has been added, and that is what bothers me, but I still want to eat dried fish and seafood.... Or rather, I remember that the knob of sake was good, so I ordered the knob this time w The "shellfish platter" was very delicious last time, and although there is a sashimi platter, "shellfish platter" is rare. I think it's Uri that there is an abundance of local sake, but I can't drink Japan sake ... For those who still can't drink, sours and chuhai are in the 400 yen range. There is also a wide variety of fruit wines and cocktails. The following three things I ordered this time. I've never heard of the following two delicacies anywhere else and I've always wanted to order them. ・ Pickled liver in soy sauce → If you like salty food, you should definitely order it. The taste is strong and mushy .... It's delicious~~. If you like Japan sake, you can drink it endlessly with this in one hand ~. The grated radish that comes with it washes it off refreshingly and is very good. ・ Engawa no Yamamasa pickle → unlike what I imagined, it was sweet and tangy. The sweet and rich taste is reminiscent of Tsukuni. This seems to go well with fruity Japan sake. Wine might be fine. ・ Assorted 3 pieces of sashimi → octopus, bonito, amberjack. I love octopus, so I'm glad it's in it ~. The meat was thick, plump and delicious. Unlike last time, there were a lot of staff, and they came right away without having to play ping pong. It was a counter seat this time as well, but the seat was a little hot ... I was fine if I shifted the position a little. lol It seems that it may be closed early, but it seems that it is sometimes open until midnight, so the atmosphere is good and I hope there will be more things to do at night ~.

ばるばる激辛ver時に利用させて頂きました。


朝まで営業しているお店を探しておりまして、朝3時迄営業と記載があった時、夜中に伺ったのですが
この日は営業終了...涙　チェーン系でないと　やはり日によって難しいですもんね。て思っていたら
食べログさんに　12時閉店の場合ありの記載が追加されておりました。笑
下北沢って確かに多数飲食店はあれど、意外とぐるっと回れてしまうのと　夜中はそこまで人がいない
ので　朝まで営業している店舗があるようでないんですよね。ちょっとしょんぼり。涙

一度伺った時、とっても雰囲気ある扉や　扉からうっすら聞こえてくるjazz bgmが凄くよかったので、
今回　ばるばる時に来店させて頂きました。


ばるばる1品は『辛スープ餃子』


でしたが...もう5軒目ともなると、辛い物で胃がギブアップしている我々。。。
正直　これをお目当てというより　きっとこちらの『熟成肉居酒屋』さんだったら　他の珍味的な
オツマミ系のものがあるだろうと考え　こちらのお店を目指したのもあります。笑
その予想は嬉しい的中を得てまして。
何と　辛い物が苦手な人用メニューもありました！！！感激
『本日の刺身』『珍味2種』『ポテトサラダ』『ピクルス』。しかも超こーゆーの食べたいラインナップ。笑

店内は　少しかまくら風の個室とカウンターとあり　思ったより狭目ですが　とても落ち着きます。
店内はコンクリート石造りで　雰囲気抜群。カウンター席も見た事ない梅酒がずら～っと並んでいて
料理も　ドリンク側からも提供して下さったり、とにかくとても居心地がよいです。
ピンポンボタンもついているのですが、近くに店員さんがいると思わず声掛けしちゃいますね。笑

料理の珍味2種は　塩辛と酒盗。
このコンビ最強だなあ～と思いつつ、他の通常料理メニューを拝見すると...
ひものや串もの、お鍋にお刺身...こうやって書くと普通なんですけど、例えば
『サメ軟骨だけの梅水晶』『さんまの燻製』『のどぐろの開き』『巨大エリンギの炭火焼き』..etc
ちょっとした創作の、余り他で見かけない料理ラインナップがずら～。


やばい、腰を据えてここで飲みたいなあ～という思考になってしまい、思わず『貝刺し』をオーダーw
刺身盛り合わせはありますが、貝刺しって余りないし　私貝が大好きなのです。笑
何が入っているか聞き忘れたのですが　提供の時　ちゃんと説明もして下さいました。


店内はこの日混雑しているのか　提供時間が遅かった...まあ仕方ないです。
雰囲気がよいので許します。笑　二杯も思わず頼んでしまいましたが...2杯目からは通常値段になる
との事で、料理遅いから頼んだのにな～と　ちょっとだけいじわるな事を思ってしまいました。苦笑


この貝が　全て歯応えも異なって　本当に美味しかったです。
中でも『赤西貝』というのを私は食べた事なかったので　もっちりシコッとしてて歯応え十分。
石垣貝や白とり貝も　味が濃厚で　一つ一つ貝によってこんなに差があるんだな～って感心。
5種も食べれるなんて　本当に満足。


お料理ラインナップが　とっても気に入りました。
又来たいと思います。
