Sumida City, Tokyo, Japan｜醸造科 oryzae

Dishes and delicious drinks that take advantage of fermentation and spices! Reasonable pricing too ◎ I don't go to this area very often, but I was introduced to this place by a friend who used to live in Kinshicho, so this was my first visit. I reserved a seat a few days in advance. Located across from Kinshi Park, about a 3-minute walk from the north exit of Kinshicho Station, the wooden door at the entrance is reminiscent of an old folk house with a retro-modern feel. As soon as you enter the store, there are 9 counter seats and table seats in the back surrounding the kitchen. The menu is wide-ranging, with a focus on snacks, several curries to finish off with, a wide variety of aged cheeses, and desserts, and a rich lineup of alcoholic beverages, from sake to domestic wine, natural wine, and shochu. There are two types of courses: light (4 to 5 dishes) for 2,750 yen and heavy course (6 to 7 dishes), and on this day I had the solid course for 3,850 yen. [Course composition] 3,850 yen 1. Bamboo shoots and shiso soup (so-called miso soup), tuna radish 2. Rock oysters, fermented cucumbers Homemade fermented cucumbers go well with the large rock oysters. The acidity is suppressed, and the spiciness enhances the creaminess of the oysters. 3. Grunt and soy sauce koji wasabese, firefly squid with cumin vinegar miso, tuna prosciutto-style and fermented new onion salad Four. Extra-large clams and pickled Chinese cabbage steamed in sake Five. Grilled trout with Japanese pepper and soy sauce 6. Cabbage rolls Fermented tomato soup The main cabbage rolls may look small, but they are actually quite large. A generous amount of beef is wrapped around the soft cabbage, and the meat juices seep into the tomato soup. The minced meat is nicely coarse and juicy. The flavor of the meat and fermented tomato soup spreads in your mouth, making it a dish that will keep you drinking. 7. Chicken liver paste bread Suki Queen Even though I like liver, when it comes to liver paste, I'm selfish and don't like the unique smell and texture. (I like tomatoes, but tomato juice isn't good for me?) This liver paste is so strong that you'll want a second helping. It's fluffy and not too salty, and even though it's called liver paste, it's simple and doesn't have a lot of ingredients mixed in, so you can feel the flavor of chicken liver straight through. The first Suki Queen I had was Norwegian goat cheese. It looks and tastes like caramel! Smooth on the palate, dense and rich, with a slight saltiness, just like salted caramel. drink ・Champagne Menti (Italy) ・White bottle Individualist (Austria) ・White glass Traditionalist (Austria) The store's name, ``Oryzae,'' which I have a hard time remembering (am I the only one?) is the scientific name for Aspergillus oryzae, and comes from the fact that the owner, Mr. Watanabe, majored in the unusual department of brewing at Tokyo University of Agriculture. There were a number of unique dishes that made use of the fermentation techniques and spices that I had learned there, and were not seen anywhere else. In addition to the food, there is a wide variety of alcoholic beverages, so you can pair them with your meals or enjoy them in different ways depending on your mood and preferences that day. Moreover, all of them are quite reasonable, and the quantity of each item is not that large, so you can order a variety of items and enjoy them as pairings with alcohol.On Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, we are open from 1:00pm, so you can have a lunchtime drink. It's also good to use! The handsome shopkeeper seemed quiet at first glance due to his strong eyes, but he was soft-spoken and actually very friendly. The chopstick rest is so cute that you can't help but smack it. Thank you for the meal!

It was delicious and we had a great time. The feeling of the menu and the staff with an unfathomable atmosphere. It looks like it's going to be more fun after getting used to it. I would like to ask you again.

In this evaluation column, it says that the owner feels bad, but I don't think so, I think that he is a person with a strong commitment that can be seen in his cooking. Delicious food, delicious sake, and a cool owner. it's the best.
