The second restaurant we visited in Koshu (the first on the first night) is "Tokuya", located on Koshu Shinsa-dori.
I've been to this restaurant a few times, but the sashimi I had last time was...?
The feet felt distant.
This time, I visited Yubaruka Shizuya because its set was truly outstanding. It's been a long while since I've visited here.
I arrived at 5:30 PM, almost at the time of opening. There were already two couples there.
Four more customers arrived, and the restaurant was immediately full.
Everyone is targeting “Youbal”!
The set includes the following items, which I think are definitely worth visiting.
◆遊バルセット 2000円 → 1000円（税別）
・2種類の小鉢料理、茶碗蒸し、2種類の刺身、揚げ物
◆ 다양한 음료 – 반값(1 cup per person)
・・・・・・・・・・・
・Two types of small dishes served(Tuna in vinegar sauce and shellfish)
This shellfish is amazing, really delicious! My wife doesn’t really like it, so I gave it to her.
・Two types of sashimi served together(Tuna, Hamachi)
It was quite fresh!
・Chawan Mushi
The taste is quite light, but it has a variety of ingredients, so it's good!
・Fried Foods
This was tempura.
5種類の野菜、つぼみ菜、水かれいなど。
With this, 1000 yen is really impressive!
The staff at the restaurant was also said to have tried too hard.
Overall, it was quite good, so I’ll definitely go there again!
PayPay available for 2770 yen. A truly delicious meal!
Well, let's go and try another restaurant!
Calling it a work celebration, we visited on a weekday night with my wife.
This is a valuable restaurant within walking distance where you can enjoy affordable and delicious fish. This night, it was unusual for the place to be completely full.
This evening, I made a reservation for the "Tokoya Omakase Kaiseki [Sennodou Kaiseki Course]" consisting of 7 dishes, priced at 3,000 yen. Last November, this course was listed at 2,800 yen in my reviews, so there has been an increase in the price. The unlimited drinks have also gone up from 1,200 yen to 1,500 yen. There's nothing I can do about it!
・Two small dishes
・三種類の生魚を組み合わせた料理
・Grilled or steamed dishes (some kind of yuba and tuna)
・Fried Octopus (Japanese Fried Octopus)
・創作一品（トマトソースの何とか）
・Meatless food
・デザート（いちごアイス）
・飲み放題では勝ち目がないため、単品でハイボール3杯と白ワイングラス1杯を注文しました。
So, the content of the menu hasn’t changed much compared to before. However, unfortunately, the quality of each dish seems to be declining gradually. To use my wife’s words, it’s like everything has become “ordinary” again.
This time was very disappointing, but still, this cost-effective experience is truly remarkable. I can only hope that the next time I visit, I will be back at the original "Tokyo-ya".
PayPay payment: 7.760 yen. Thank you for your patronage!
Happy holiday eve.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I haven’t had the chance to visit this place. But with my wife, it’s the first time in a long time that we’ve visited “Tokyo Yayoi”. It might be the third time for me.
I made a reservation, so I was seated at a table. There was also an acrylic board placed there, and the number of tables had been reduced compared to before. The infection prevention measures were well implemented.
此外，还有4人和5人的两组顾客。以前印象中，这类顾客多为家庭或夫妻组合。但今天来的顾客都是下班后回家的上班族。
Today, we offer a set of 7 dishes at “Sankōseki” for 2800 yen, including drinks for an additional 1200 yen.
・サーモンの南蛮漬、ふきエビ
・三種の刺身が盛られています
・Tempura
・カキのかぶら蒸し
・創作料理（名前は？）
・Eel rice
・カシスシャーベット
I ordered highballs, while my wife drank white wine. We enjoyed each dish separately. My wife seemed particularly fond of a dish made with radishes and some unnamed creative cuisine. She repeatedly mentioned that she wanted to eat this creative dish with bread. Since we’re at a Japanese restaurant, there are no bakeshies available.
The female staff members remembered us and had friendly conversations with us while we ate. At this age, a portion like this is just perfect. Thank you for the delicious meal!
Go To Eat: Use a meal coupon to pay just 8,000 yen. PayPay is also available.
First visit: November 2, 2019 (Saturday) at 7 PM
I've heard good things about this place, and I really wanted to go there.
I visited this restaurant with my wife for a small celebration. We made a reservation in advance.
【Atmosphere】
The atmosphere isn’t luxurious, but it’s calm and comfortable. The customers were mostly middle-aged and older. I was allowed to sit comfortably in a lower-tier seat.
Upon entering, 60% of the tables were already occupied, but customers kept coming in one after another. Despite the constant turnover of customers, the restaurant remained always full. This indicates how popular it is.
【서비스】
Quick and pleasant service. It seems that both the kitchen staff and the rest of the staff are well-trained.
However, in the latter half, things became more busy, and the serving of dishes started to be delayed. Please bear with me, dear guests.
【料理】
A menu costing 2500 yen.
・前菜：汲み上げ湯葉、タコとハナッコリーの酢味噌和え ◎
・サバサンド3種盛り（マグロ、カンパチ、ゴマサバ）◎
・牡蠣のかぶら蒸し ◎◎
・フカヒレの唐揚げ ◯
・鴨しゃぶ鍋 ◯ 〆は雑炊か蕎麦が選べる
・柚子シャーベット ◯
The first three dishes are incredible. Especially the kabura mitsumaki is top-notch.
The soy sauce-based soup of the duck restaurant was also delicious.
【음료】
・ไฮบอール 4 แก้ว
・Meishu Soda Kake 1 cup
【総評】
2人で7310円。ペイペイで支払い。
Even though the portion of soba was reduced to one person's serving, it still felt satisfying. This value for money is truly remarkable.
Since we are two people who prefer a small portion, it might be better to opt for a "meal" next time.
Friendly service, delicious food, and an excellent value for money—a great experience. We truly enjoyed it.
Let's disturb you again!
