Yui Nogizaka

Delicious

Visited in December 2024
As the end of the year approached, I was taken here by a friend who is a regular customer.
Less than a 5-minute walk from Nogizaka Station, this restaurant has the atmosphere of a hidden restaurant nestled in an alley. As soon as you step inside the store, you will feel an indescribable warm atmosphere. Seating can be divided into private rooms, tables, and mini counters, depending on the occasion.
You can choose from either a la carte or course menu, and on this day I ordered the course.

Drink and eat a lot, just under 20,000 yen per person
The atmosphere, stomach, tipsiness and satisfaction are very high.

・Advanced
warm radish soup
The daikon radish soaks into your body in a uniquely Chinese soup that is packed with flavor.

・Assorted appetizers
Drooling chicken, zha cai, instant smoked milt, jellyfish dressing, clams
Not only does it look beautiful, but the taste of each item is also delicious.

・Chinese-style stir-fried northern shellfish
Plump and large Kitayori shellfish seasoned with broccoli and maitake mushrooms in a Chinese style. I was surprised at the transformation of Kitayori gai into Chinese cooking!

・Spring rolls
The skin is thin and there are plenty of ingredients inside.

・Black vinegar sweet and sour pork
The rich black vinegar paste is exquisite and pairs perfectly with Shaoxing wine.

・Stir-fried vegetables
Refreshing taste while retaining the crunchiness of vegetables

・Mabo tofu
The Japanese pepper has a strong effect, and it may be the best mapo tofu I've had in 2024.

・Sunra hot water noodles
The rich soup has just the right amount of sourness and spiciness, making it easy to eat with chopsticks.

・Dessert
Almond tofu

Add a la carte

・Gomoku fried rice
Contains crab, it's crunchy and can be eaten in no time

・Garlic fried rice
It may look heavy, but when you eat it, it's not bitter and the perfect garlic flavor spreads in your mouth.

・Sauce Yakisoba
Not only does it look beautiful, but the sauce soaks into the noodles well, and strangely the plate doesn't get dirty with the sauce (lol).

There was an event nearby
I visited with a colleague from the company for the first time in a while.

First, let’s toast with champagne 🥂

I'm back again this year. Fragrant mushroom spring rolls
The scent of aromatic mushrooms, elegant seasoning, and crispy skin are indescribable.

Recommended by the staff when it's ready to eat.
The miso is rich and has a good texture.
Eat with your hands dirty and wash them with a finger ball.

When eaten, the pork and black vinegar sauce is rich.
That's right, I wanted to eat sweet and sour pork.
Satisfaction that convinces
I was able to enjoy plenty of sweet and sour pork 😋

Mapo tofu is the chef's favorite dish.
Simmering, piping hot

The balance of hemp is good and the spiciness is strong.
The tofu has just the right hardness and is perfectly sized.
Great balance of minced meat flavor
Served with white rice

Finish with tea

As always, it was an impressive meal.

It's been a while since I last saw you, but the store clerk said,
Remembers the timing of the wine and explains the dishes.
wonderful

The customers around me are all regulars.
It's also a nice shop that I would like to visit.

I would like to ask you again

I was able to enjoy a relaxing meal in a calm atmosphere.
The quantity is modest and suitable for women.

Yui Nogizaka, who I’ve always wanted to go to
On this day, I ordered a well-balanced selection of recommended menu items and standard dishes.

First of all, the seasonal vegetables and green cabbage salad that came out was ginger on this day, but it was so delicious that I ended up having to replace it.
Of all the things I ordered that day, there wasn't a single thing that I thought was not good, which was surprising.
Overall, the taste is strong, so if you like bland flavors, you might enjoy it better if you tell us that.
The mapo tofu was just the right amount of spiciness, and since I had ordered the fried rice to be spicy, I had it changed to garlic fried rice since it had not yet been cooked.
Garlic fried rice has a strong garlic scent, but it doesn't seem to linger after eating, and while I was eating it, I was definitely worried about the garlic odor, but after I ate it, I didn't notice it at all.

The staff's customer service is very pleasant, the price range is affordable, and it's not too crowded, so I'd definitely go there again!
