Good evening! This is Nori speaking here!
Today I would like to share one of my best favorite Japanese pubs! (Izakaya)
It’s called ‘Kuwaji’, located in Ebaranakanobu! Only a minute walk from the station!!!! It’s a local’s hidden pub xD
I have been coming here since it`s opening in 2008!
▲ Hello! Its me at the entrance of ‘Kuwaji’!!
Look at this! how nostalgic!
Its soooo cool! Oldie and goodie style!!
▲ It gets full every night!
Let’s start with High-ball (Whisky soda!!!)
I brought my date here today!
▲ mogooooood! (my way of saying ‘cheers’ lol)
▲ Look at this menu on the wall! It`s so nostalgic!! I love!
So, which dish shall we begin with……?
I know that I’m gonna have a ton of Gyoza coz ‘Kuwaji’ is my best favorite Gyoza place in Tokyo!
But since it takes some time to be prepared, I ordered appetizers.
▲ Classic hand written menu!
The menu changes often as they use seasonal vegetables!
▲ Here we go xD the first appetizer is ‘Shansai Moyashi Nikumiso’
(Boiled bean sprouts with coriander and Miso flavored minced meat)
It’s grate as always xD
▲ ‘Zaasai to Tori’ (Marinated chicken and Szechuan pickles)
This is not a regular menu so I was excited! And it is really good with the drinks!
And finally it’s a Gyoza time!
▲ How beautiful!!!!!
This Gyoza is called ‘Mangetsu Gyoza’ (Literally meaning ‘Full moon Gyoza’)
It’s all homemade, even the rice paper of the dumpling!!!
The house’s original sauce is a grate match and I cannot stop eating this xD
I ate 20 pieces all by myself!!!
Actually I am a big fan of ‘Okayu’ (Chinese porridge) of this house as well but they didn’t have it in this season..
If you get a chance to come here in winter time, I suggest that you try it because they offer the best of it in Japan!!!!!
▲ Mr. Kuwaji, the master of ‘Kuwaji’ everyone loves!!!!!
Actually he is a super grate singer and a guitar and Biwa (traditional Japanese instrument) player too! Such an amazing guy!!!
He offers many different seasonal dishes time to time so I come here frequently although it is not my local area!
All regular customers are awesome too!!!!
Thank you again ‘Kuwaji’!!!
