Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan｜Yakitori & Sake Torimitsukuni

Today I visited Shin-Yokohama Cubic Plaza. Shin-Yokohama is close to my parents' house, and it's the Shinkansen terminal, so I use it often. Cubic Plaza is convenient as it is directly connected to the station. On the 10th floor is Torikokuni Shin-Yokohama Cubic Plaza, a restaurant that serves delicious yakitori, innovative creative dishes, and a variety of Japanese sake! ! (*´ω`*ﾉﾉﾉﾟﾟﾟﾟﾟﾟﾟ★ At the entrance, bamboo is lined up with the imposing name of ``Torikokuni.'' At first glance, the interior looks like any other izakaya, but there are rows of bottles of ``Tamanohikari'' on display. When I looked into it, I learned that it is famous as a famous sake from Fushimi, Kyoto, and that they have collaborated with Tamanohikari Sake Brewery to develop an alcoholic beverage called ``Torikokuni''. The staff are smiling and the atmosphere inside the store is bright, and you'll be impressed as soon as you walk in! ! (person∀｀) Well, my wife and I ordered various things. “Otama Ume Sour” (490 yen) → Sour with large pickled plums. The umeboshi is said to be satisfying to eat. ``Appetizer'' → Takigawa tofu and salmon roe with sesame dressing. "13 Types of Mitsukuni Salad" (690 yen) → Salad using Kamakura vegetables and hydroponically grown vegetables. Served with homemade grated vegetable dressing. “Squid Somen Yukhoe” (690 yen) → Delicious plump squid, rich egg, and rich sauce! "Assortment of 5 pieces" (780 yen) → From the left: "Momoyaki, Bonjiri, Skin, Seseri, Liver". Each dish was characterized by the juwapuri feeling of the grilled momo, the firmness of the shank, the unique texture of the skin, the deep flavor of the seseri, and the depth of the liver, and all of them were delicious. "Assortment of 5 rare parts" (980 yen) → From the left: "Hatatsuri, Sled, Peach head, Achilles, Furisode". Each one had its own merits: the juiciness of the heart, the texture of the sled, the plumpness of the rich flavor of the thigh-covered meat, and the crunchy texture of the furisode. ``Special liver'' (250 yen x 2 pieces) → Large and filling, with a wonderful flavor unique to liver. ``Autumn burdock fried chicken'' (590 yen) → Good seasoning and crispy texture. It's good that it's not too streaky! “Ootoro Grilled Mackerel” (490 yen) → Special mustard soy sauce and rich acidity. It's so rich that it's like eating nanbanzuke, and the drink is delicious! ``Homemade White Liver Patty'' (490 yen) → I'm happy that it comes with plenty of mustard. If you spread it on a baguette and add mustard, the rich liver flavor will spread in your mouth. ``Kashiwa Meshi Grilled Rice Balls (2 pieces)'' (450 yen) → Comes with chicken soup. Crispy on the outside, well seasoned, and fluffy. "Cassata" (490 yen) → Italian cheesecake. The dried fruits planted here and there are doing a good job! "Homemade Tiramisu" (590 yen) → It's creamy and has a strong coffee-like flavor. A dessert with a wonderful aroma and texture. ◆◇◆Postscript◆◇◆ Torikokuni is a popular restaurant in Tokyo, and it is sometimes difficult to get a reservation. That's understandable, and even though this was my experience at the Shin-Yokohama store, there was nothing to be dissatisfied with. The yakitori is good, the drinks are good, the staff is smiling, and the prices are quite reasonable. Moreover, since it goes up to the 10th floor from the station, it seems like it's a hideaway, and it's relatively easy to get a seat. When you want delicious yakitori and sake in Shin-Yokohama, don't hesitate to go to Torikokuni Shin-Yokohama Cubic Plaza branch. This is a store I can recommend! ! Try it!

The first time I went to the store was just before closing time. It was very comfortable and the appetizer and meals were very delicious. The skewered meat, Kujo green onions, and chicken liver steak were all fresh and really delicious, and the wasabi attached to the kamaboko was especially impressive with a new texture. I really love this store. The store clerk is also friendly and pleasant. It's always full, so reservations are recommended!

It was my first time visiting the store because I couldn't find the right timing. A special edition of the menu bearing the restaurant's name? I received the menu. It was a truly impressive piece of yakitori, with the pleasant aroma of charcoal grilling filling my mouth. Lately, I've only been eating cheap yakitori, It’s been a long time since I had such luxurious yakitori! ! But it was lunch, and it was reasonably priced. It was delicious. The interior of the store is Japanese, but has a modern feel, using bamboo and wood. The interior is so nice that you can spend a while looking at it (lol) It's hard to find a restaurant with such a nice atmosphere, whether it's with someone you don't seem to have a lot of conversation with, or just to buy time (lol), but this place is great! ! !
