Nagareyama, Chiba, Japan｜くじらや大樹

An izakaya run by a friendly couple. In addition to the large counter, there is also a small rise, and the counter seats are covered with cushions so you can comfortably watch TV. The menu is centered on whale dishes, and in addition to the general izakaya menu, there are also recommendations for the day. Most of the dishes, even the condiments, are handmade by the husband and have a simple and gentle taste. Lean whale sashimi and fried Tatsuta are recommended. There are also rice balls, grilled rice balls, tea soba and other closing dishes. Credit cards accepted, smoking allowed, closed on Sundays and open on public holidays.

The food in general is delicious, not just the whale dishes. I also love this restaurant because it's okay to just eat without drinking alcohol.

Dad likes it too! ️!! ️ I'm here again tonight. Only photos will be posted. I'm going to dinner with my dad tonight. This shop is, of course, the first time! ️ Entered the store as a new development. 🔰 I thought it was an izakaya, but it was "Kujiraya"! ️ My name is the same as my nephew, so I felt a connection. However, "Taiju" was the correct reading! ️ However, it seems that the name originates from the name of the nephew of the general and the proprietress❗ Ever since I ate it for school lunch when I was a child (I had an image of it having a strong odor), it was nothing but red bacon, and honestly I didn't have a very good feeling about it. When I brought the food that came out to my mouth, it completely changed my memory! ️ Leave the orders to my father Red meat special, fried tatsuta, tataki, round herring, chive balls... The first appetizer that came out was cooked thick fried tofu, the scent of sesame oil, the juice without turbidity, and the general's work was polite! ️ Deep-fried tatsuta is soft, fragrant, sweet, and has a texture similar to that of horses and deer. Next, the tataki is made with green onions, mizuna greens, small chrysanthemums, and garlic, and has a strong umami! ️ 'Is this a whale? ️” I muttered involuntarily. Red meat special, I can only say that it is delicious. Chive balls are fragrant and light, and other customers are also asking for it, so it's a popular menu! ️ I forgot to eat round sardines. After all, I didn't think it was so delicious as it was my first whale dish since I started to understand the taste! ️ The whale I received today is a minke whale. Another thing that made me happy was that Mr. Saburo Kitajima visited the store. I love Sabu-chan, and I am double happy when I think that I enjoyed the same taste! ️ (When I was drunk and in a good mood, Sabu-chan was always on stage.) My father once told me that whales eat more than three times the amount of fish caught in the world. I think it's important to protect them, but if you don't thin them out, it will affect the ecosystem!? I'm going to cooperate with consumption!! ️ I will also post pictures, so please take a look and please visit once. It was delicious~~🎶
