《Gourmet Report》
A friend of mine went there and it looked delicious.
I thought about it and was secretly curious.
I visited the store😊

◆Appetizer
• Shellfish kimchi
The scent of sesame oil and the spiciness are just right and you can't stop using your chopsticks.
The texture of shellfish string is outstandingly good ✨
•Black bean cheese
The subtle sweetness of black beans goes well with cream cheese!

◆ Yellowtail with sesame dressing
Yellowtail oil gradually enters your mouth
Spread with sweet sesame sauce
It matched well 😊

◆Pitch black Ufumayo
Visuals reminiscent of GANT●
Speaking of squid ink sauce
I was concerned about the fishy smell of squid.
It has no odor at all and is very
It was easy to eat✨
From start to finish, her lips turned black and she said how delicious it was.
I ate it while saying it lol

◆Ethnic style shrimp chili
Three plump and big shrimp!
Sweet seasoning with cilantro aroma
Elegant seasoning🌿

◆Gizzard and grated plum
This is my first experience of having fried gizzard!
A refreshing dish with grated plums♪

◆Fresh wheat blue cheese
The raw wheat gluten is chewy and that's all.
I'm excited lol
The scent of blue cheese is not too strong and is exquisite.

◆Almost crab cream croquette
It looks like it has cream on it as a sauce.
The inside was crab-crab🦀

◆Sabash
With mashed potatoes with a slight wasabi scent
Serve with lemon juice.
The skin of the mackerel was crispy and delicious!

◆Thickly sliced ​​char siu
It's surprisingly soft
Soft char siu.
Apparently they use about 400g of meat😳
balsamic vinegar and mustard
The sourness was amazing✨
Even people who don't like fatty meat have this much flavor.
If it's stained, you can go with ease ✨
This was my favorite thing I ate this time 😆

◆White chocolate parfait
It's the perfect dessert to finish it off♪
It's white chocolate based
The scent of hojicha and matcha stands out
It was very delicious 😊

◆Drinks
It was especially delicious
Seasonal sour🍸
This time, there are lots of cubed strawberries
It was a cute sour inside.
Alcohol content is not that high either
I think it's very easy to drink 😊

A nice point that makes it different from other stores
Popular thick-sliced ​​char siu
Take home what you can't eat
What you can do!

Moreover, it comes with its own cute sticker 😆

I asked for it and left it behind.
It's a waste. But I want to try it! !
I'm happy for those who say that 😊

I went there for the first time last month and all the food was delicious and I highly recommend it 😍
I can't drink alcohol, but I think I'll enjoy the food ☺️
Below are my impressions of the dishes I ate 🤗For reference✍️

・Choice of appetizers
Pork ragu sauce.
Meat is tender and delicious!
The ragu sauce is also rich 😋

・Meat miso crispy peppers (660 yen)
It's amazingly crispy! 😍
The red stuff on top is a little spicy, and the mayo is rich in meat and miso! The meat here tastes so refreshing!

・Pote salad with spilled salmon roe and grilled salmon (869 yen)
The sweetness of the salmon roe and the slightly charred salmon are exquisite.
The onions are crunchy and delicious☺
The potatoes were also nice and the flavor wasn't too strong, so it was just right.

・Gizzard and grated plum (385 yen)
Gentle plum flavor
The crunchy gizzard and the crispy batter are amazing!
It's too delicious. Plum flavor with a refreshing aftertaste!

・Almost crab cream croquette (462 yen)
It's crab...it looks like a potato at first, but the crab flavor is amazing!

・Ethnic style shrimp chili skewer (495 yen)
Quite spicy. Accented with peppercorns
The shrimp are also plump and delicious!

・Thickly sliced ​​char siu eaten with a knife and fork
(1980 yen)
Recommended for people who want to eat a lot of meat! Something like a huge braised braised fish. Strong flavor, fatty, and delicious

・Ginjo Peperoncino with dried tomatoes and clams (1,738 yen)
I can hear the sour taste of tomatoes! A little greasy!
It's a little strong, so I think it would go well with alcohol.

It's in the basement, but there's a smoking area near the entrance, so be careful if you don't like smoking ⚠️ But there's no smell of cigarettes inside the store!
There aren't many places where you can smoke these days, so it might be helpful for smokers🤔

This is a casual restaurant that combines the elements of a neo-bar and a bistro, where you can enjoy a creative menu that combines Japanese and Western styles.
It is located about 3 minutes walk from Okachimachi Station. It is also close to Ueno Hirokoji Station.

I visited on a holiday with a friend near Ueno because my friend had made a reservation for me. The next day was a weekday, so I decided to eat early and leave early... so I made a reservation for after 5pm, but there were already customers, and more and more customers came in after that. .
I think it's a popular restaurant, so it's best to make a reservation on holidays.

The first thing I was happy about when I entered the store was that I could choose my appetizer! You could choose from 3 to 4 types of cute appetizers in small bowls. Moreover, the taste was delicious, and it was a good snack to go with alcohol!

The food is generally voluminous, so it might be best to come in a group so you can enjoy a variety of things.
However, the atmosphere inside is like a neo bar, modern and clean, so I think it's definitely a good place to come on a date.

As the name suggests, the restaurant's specialty, ``Doatsu-sliced ​​Char Siu,'' is really big. Is it really worth it to serve such a large piece of meat for the cheap price of ¥1,580? I was so worried about this lol. If you can't finish eating all the chashu pork, you can take it home with you, so we took it home as well.

Also, the skewered raw wheat blue cheese was very delicious! It's a combination that I've never had anywhere else, but it was a new discovery that it goes well with them.

There was a wide variety of drinks, and the fruit cocktails and sours were especially delicious.
I was also surprised that they had a wine list. I think you'll be satisfied even when you want to enjoy a drink.

Overall, it's easy to see why this restaurant has become so popular, with a wide selection of appetizers, a hearty menu, and a wide variety of drinks!
Recommended if you want to have a casual drinking party in this area.

◆Choice of appetizers
A style of appetizer where you can choose your favorite item from a number of small bowls. Choose this♪
・Pork ragu sauce
・Black bean and walnut cream cheese

◆Pitch black Ufumayo
Ufumayo is characterized by a jet-black sauce made from squid ink and a melting egg yolk inside.

◆ Mascarpone tofu and yuzu mentaiko
Smooth tofu with the sourness of mascarpone mixed with yuzu mentaiko makes this a personal winner that goes well with sake or wine✨

◆ Grilled Wagyu Beef Yukhoe Homemade Wasabi Sauce
The meat is grilled right in front of you and mixed with the egg yolk in the center. Even so, the power of egg yolk is amazing! ! Something you can pick up with chopsticks←
The home-made wasabi sauce, which you can enjoy the crunchiness of the wasabi, and the melt-in-your-mouth Wagyu beef went perfectly together.

◆ Rare spring bonito cutlet served with homemade chive butter
A seasonal menu made with seasonal ingredients.
The menu was designed by the chef to go well with the wine, and the crispy, thin batter and thick, rare bonito go perfectly with chive butter! !

◆ Dried tomato clams room shellfish ginjo peperoncino
The Peperoncino at the end was supposed to be filling, but the appetizing garlic scent and shellfish stock made it very filling😋

◆drink
We recommend sours and gin and tonics made with seasonal fruits! The sour is full of strawberry fruit and is a big winner in both appearance and taste 🥇✨
The sake selection was local sake from Hokuriku in support of the recovery from the Hokuriku Earthquake at the beginning of the year.
There is a wide variety of wine available, and the staff will advise you on which wine will go well with your meal, so even if you are not familiar with wine, you can still enjoy the experience.

◆Inside the store
As it is a neo-style izakaya, as you walk through the neon entrance, you will find yourself on the first basement floor.
Although it was a weekday, the place was almost full. There are table seats as well as counter seats in the back.
The male to female ratio was about 1:1, and there were a variety of people, including couples, office workers on their way home from work, and girls' night out.

◆Others
It looks like they're open for lunch, so come check it out! !

The neon sign at the entrance is cute, Wabisu Toro TORINOS🕊
Although it is near the station, the store is located underground, giving it a hideaway feel.

This time, we took a seat at the counter, which only has 3 seats in the back, and enjoyed the reasonably priced yet authentic bistro creations!

Obanzai's appetizers are fun because each person can choose one from several different types.
The black bean and walnut cream cheese I chose and the seasonal sour were delicious and I was impressed from the beginning.

The red sea bream carpaccio is thick and has a nice roasted aroma, making it a dish that I especially recommend.

The thick-sliced ​​char siu, which is famous for its Instagram photos, is huge and filling!
If you can't finish it all, you can take it home, so you can order with confidence.

The wide range of menu items are all delicious and you are sure to have a wonderful time.
Definitely recommended near Ueno/Okachimachi! !
