“A sophisticated dining izakaya” by Akito (・・)
Restaurant Review: “Taku-an” ✨✨
A Japanese-style izakaya located near the Yotsuwa 3-chome Station. This is a restaurant that has also received Michelin Bibuglman awards, so I was very interested in visiting it. I’ll give it a try.
This restaurant opened in June 2010. It is located just two minutes away from the Tokyo Metro Tsukuba Mitsuko Station. The interior of the restaurant is very clean and tidy, resembling a traditional Japanese izakaya. It seems that the restaurant is run by a married couple. As for the taste of the food... well, let's wait and see (*´∇｀)ﾉ

Superly light-flavored broth. Almonds and eggplants are fried until fragrant, effectively extracting the richness and umami of the ingredients. It’s a cooking method I usually don’t encounter, but the taste is definitely satisfying.
⚫ポテトサラダ 700円
A potato salad that minimizes mayonnaise and emphasizes the flavor of potatoes. A well-crafted presentation that brings out the best in the ingredients. “Wow, really impressive,” I must say. The owner’s approach and attitude are truly commendable.
⚫マリネした鰯と新生姜 1,200円
The scallops have a thick and juicy texture—what could possibly be going on there? However, it's just a new experience in terms of texture and flavor. The taste is indeed solid. It's an excellent side dish that goes well with alcohol. Quite ingenious, really. I think it's a good choice.
⚫唐揚げおろしポン酢 1,500円
Fried chicken from Da Mountain. I see! Only a first-class chef could serve such a dish. To make the flavor of the local chicken truly evident, the sauce should be light in taste. The marinating process is exquisite. It's great to have separate sauces of yuzu pepper and chopped ponzu vinegar.
⚫ほぐし角煮丼（小）770円
This restaurant serves organic Koshihikari rice with pork loin with skin—a truly remarkable offering! At this level, such a dish is rare. The pork loin is carefully marinated to extract all its flavorful juices. Moreover… the rice is delicious! This is something that not many restaurants can offer at this level. It’s quite hard to find something like this.
■ 음료
⚫エビス・ザ・ブラック小瓶 660円
Sometimes, black beer tastes really good when consumed regularly.
⚫飛露喜 特純 1,000円
Well, I don't think we'll leave it outside, right?
■서비스
It's very polite. But first-time visitors feel like they're in an unfamiliar place.
■요금
Drank and ate; the total cost for one person was 6,370 yen. A reasonable price.
Foodies would surely think, "Oh—" this is a sophisticated restaurant (*´ｪ｀*). The dishes are delicious, and it's definitely an ideal place for those who love fine food and alcohol.
Japanese cuisine can be enjoyed at various restaurants, but yakiniku restaurants have their own unique ways of preparing food, which make them truly enjoyable. I believe these are good places to go if you want to experience authentic Japanese food. Enjoy your dinner! Thank you very much m(_ _)m
