ヒラッチョ
I got off at Ikebukuro on my way home from work and had a drink 🍶.
I worked in Ikebukuro for a total of about 10 years on the West Exit side until the year before last, and enjoyed the obscenity of the North Exit and deep Chinese food and drink.
The area behind the Bic Camera at the east exit is a bit of an entertainment district with a unique atmosphere.
Hayashiya is a yakitori restaurant with branches in Takadanobaba and Ikebukuro, and I have had company drinking parties there before, but this was my first time to drink solo.
There is a set menu for solo drinkers, and what would normally cost about 3,000 yen can be had for only 1,999 yen.
Draft beer and Toyobai.
Yakiton (grilled pork): shiro (white), tang (tongue), and kashira (white).
Potato salad and fried horse mackerel as snacks.
The fact that they source their sake from Ajinomachidaya is quite an advantage.
Toyobai Junmai Shiboritate Nama Sake Limited Edition
Shoryu Horai Limited edition of 88 bottles Junmai Daiginjo
Shinomine Limited edition of 88 bottles of nama-shu Junmai Daiginjo
The 88 bottles limited edition seemed to be Machidaya's original.
Each one is delicious.
(This is not a review of sake, 😅)
