Izakaya Niningashi round 2

Unless one is here for drinks and food is merely just something to keep the mouth busy and accompany said drinks, it can get pretty costly to fill up from the small plates. The food is tasty for sure. The portions are also small and prices aren't low. It does add up.


I think their oysters are smoked in house. Not as smoky as I had expected but they were pretty tasty. The texture was a lot smoother than the canned variety.


Buri is in season. These were buri toro. The flavour doesn't have the same impact as tuna but it was also delicious.


Grilled enoki with butter. Add a splash of shoyu and you'd think this was one of the best tasting things you've had in a while.


Potato salad's decent. Decent potato salad isn't difficult. Portions were small. I think it needs much more kani miso.


Flavour from the Hokkaido king crab was pretty good. It would have been better if most of the meat were not stuck to the shell.


These was smoked tuna. Made in house as well which also meant that it wasn't as smoky. Nice though. Tasted like some sort of ham.


Not so pretty looking bafun uni gunkans but the flavour was there. While the sushi was relatively inexpensive by local sushi-ya standards, one also got less uni in those gunkans.


Did I already mention buri is in season? This was buri shirako. Basically yellowtail milt. Grilled. So it was a light smoky exterior with creamy innards.


The kawaebi was much tastier than it looked. The batter wasn't heavy and the shrimps were crispy. Soaked up the ponzu from the buri shirako well.


Buri is in season. We thought it made sense to go with buri kama shioyaki. The meat from the collar underneath the charred skin was dripping juices.
