Isegen

I went to try Monkfish, a fish that comes to market when it gets cold. This is a long-established store that was founded in 1830, and the building has a quaint feel to it. The bones of the monkfish that go into the monkfish hot pot are removed and can be eaten as is, allowing U to enjoy the flavor without stress. The liver of the monkfish is the freshest I've ever eaten, and it's impressive. Finally, use rice porridge to absorb the essence of the monkfish into the rice and enjoy it. It's more expensive than a regular izakaya, but you'll want to eat here at least once a season.

We recently visited Isegen, a restaurant that specializes in angler and monk fish, and it was a truly memorable experience. Here are a few things that stood out to me:

Authentic Japanese dining experience: As soon as you enter the restaurant, you're asked to take off your shoes and head upstairs to the dining area. The seating arrangements and decor are distinctly Japanese, with low tables and floor cushions for a truly authentic dining experience.

Fresh and delicious seafood: The angler and monk fish dishes we tried were absolutely delicious and expertly prepared. The freshness of the seafood was apparent in every bite, and the flavors were perfectly balanced.

Warm and welcoming staff: The staff at Isegen were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. They were happy to provide recommendations and answer any questions we had about the menu.

Unique and tasty side dishes: In addition to the main seafood dishes, Isegen also had a great selection of side dishes and appetizers. We particularly enjoyed the grilled eggplant and the pickled vegetables - they were the perfect complement to the rich and savory fish dishes.

Great selection of drinks: Isegen had a wide variety of drinks to choose from, including sake, beer, and Japanese whiskey. The staff was happy to provide recommendations and help us find the perfect drink to pair with our meal.

Overall, I highly recommend visiting Isegen for an authentic Japanese dining experience and some truly delicious seafood dishes. The warm and welcoming staff, unique and tasty side dishes, and great selection of drinks make it a standout restaurant in Tokyo.

When you visit Japan, you have to try Anko. And this establishment is one of the longest standing ones that serve Anko. Portion is good. Anko fish has the consistency of Scallops. The meal actual serves Anko prepared in a variety of ways. We were early and walked in. Service was fantastic! The attendant saw my sister had burnt hands (suffered back in the hotel) and offered ice packs and cream to her. The meal was at a good pace and very comfortable. Cost is relatively high as Anko is uncommon.
