【HITOHIRA】A classic IZAKAYA in Tokyo! (Gakugeidaigaku, Shibuya area)

Hello everyone!
This is Nori speaking xD

Today I went off to a walking around the Gakugei-daigaku area and found this restaurant interesting. There are bunch of people inside and even outside drinking like this.
This must be a good place or sure!!!

So I texted to my colleagues to join me here for dinner.

Get together!

Let me show you this menu!

Amazingly each dish is very unique and super interesting!!!!!!!

I chose this as the first appetizer.

Local chicken with Japanese ginger and sprouts green onion sauce

‘Local chicken with Japanese ginger and sprouts green onion sauce’

The chicken is tender and yummmmmmmy!!!!

The next one is this!

Sprouts with coriander!

‘Sprouts with coriander’!

Japanese light seasoning emphasizes the flavor of coriander and although coriander is not Japanese original vegetable, it is matching so well with this seasoning! It is grate for beer!!!!

Then “Hiya-yakko” (Cold Tofu with spice) A typical Japanese appetizer!

Let’s keep going xD

Pickled Greater amberjack carpaccio with local green onion and Sudachi (Japanese citrus)

Sudachi is giving a grate kick and it somehow brings a beautiful harmony between the fish and the green onion! We could eat a lot more!

More colleagues are joining now as they have finished work! It’s getting fuuner and more drinks and more food coming up!

Saikyo grilled Japanese boarfish

‘Saikyo grilled Japanese boarfish’

Such a grate seasoning!!!! We enjoy the drinks even better with this!!

 Local grown chicken grilled with salt from burning seaweed!

Although it’s a grilled dish, it is not oily at all! We rolled the chicken with the vegetables. It’s yuuuuum!!!!! Can’t stop!!

I just realized that only female colleagues are here now.. and I am the only guy..

They texted me this photo, the main dish “Soba”

'Yokozuna soba'

‘Yokozuna soba’

I regret now that I should have stayed longer to taste this…… coz it looks so good…..

Overall, the food offered at “Hitohira” is very healthy and light so we can eat a lot. Of course the taste is awesome and the atmosphere is grate too. I recommend this place for a part for small group of people!

Thank you so much “Hitohira”!
It was a nice dinner!!!!
