As always, the sashimi and oden are delicious.
Just these two dishes made me full, but I also wanted to try the single-item menu, so I ordered the Unagi Katsu and Harapeño Cheese Ball as additional items. These were also highly praised by my companions.
What impressed me was the Minamishiki, which I requested during my previous visit and was added to the menu. The owner spent years researching and experimenting in various restaurants before finally creating a delicious menu item.
Next, let's try ordering Greek dish, musaka.
We visited this restaurant for the first time as part of a joint gathering of 6 people from the Kawasaki Station Front Team and the Kochan Team. This restaurant is located in the intermediate area.
The young staff who was entrusted with the reservation had already ordered sashimi and obento in advance. So, first, the female owner went to Yokohama Market to purchase delicious sashimi, which were of top quality and extremely tasty.
このおでんもしっかりと煮込まれていて、とても美味しいです。専門店ではないワンオペの居酒屋でこのおでんを出すということは、相当な手間をかけて作られていると思います。この二品をいただいた時点で、私の好感度はかなり上がりました。
After that, I ordered the "Souce Roll with Dashi," "Duck Roast," and "Herring Stir-fry." All of these dishes were prepared with great care by the chef, making them delicious.
From the moment of ordering this a-la-carte item, the owner's conversation really got going. After the customers first drank up the delicious draft beer (as the bottle was already empty), they ordered two types of barley koji soju at the same time. This freed up the owner from having to serve drinks, and thus a conversation time began between the owner and the customers.
Starting from a conversation where a female member mentioned her desire to have a cat, the discussion turned into a lively talk about pets. We were invited to bring our beloved dog, Peco-chan, from the shop located just three minutes away.
ペコちゃんはペキニーズとチワワのミックスの女の子です。昔、結婚前に自宅でペキニーズを飼っていた嫁から、ペキニーズの可愛さについてよく聞いたことがあります。ペコちゃんはふわふわでモコモコのペキニーズの可愛さと、アイフルのCMに出てきたチワワのつぶらな瞳を兼ね備えた、本当に可愛い子犬です。人見知りが全くなく、すべての客に愛想を振りまくペコちゃんに、6人全員が完全に魅了されてしまいました。
For safety's sake, Peiko-chan usually doesn't visit the restaurant. This time, with no other customers present and in a situation where the restaurant was essentially available for one person only, all six people who happened to be there requested to see Peiko-chan appear. That's how it came about.
The food, the owner's conversation, and Pecco-chan's presence made everyone become huge fans of Deenden.
I drank all of the two bottles of sake I received, without leaving a single drop behind. Since there are no more bottles left for storage, I will have to keep my own bottle when I visit again.
Thank you for your hospitality.
