Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan｜Ittan Monme

Very little English available, but that didn't stop my group. We were placed in the upper loft tatami dining area which has a view of the entire restaurant. Because the menus were largely hand written, we went with our servers' recommendations. Ended up getting some sashimi, various toriyakis, a grilled fish and grilled bamboo shoots. Everything was awesome.

It's a popular restaurant and it's hard to get a reservation, but at 5pm on a Monday, I managed to get a reservation for three people at the counter. When I arrived before 5:15, there were more than 10 people waiting in front of the store. The store opened just after 5 o'clock and I was guided to the counter. Due to my age, I couldn't eat a lot of food, but whatever I ordered was delicious. I especially liked the grilled tomato rolls. I also had a second helping of soba which was delicious. The staff was very kind and I enjoyed eating and drinking.

I made a reservation over the phone. Everything is delicious and you will end up eating way too much.
