Hanya Kuta is a Japanese restaurant specializing in Kyushu cuisine, tucked between Ginza and Tsukiji. I came here for lunch a while back, but the vibe is a bit different in the evening.
Today’s fish
Nice and fresh.
Otoshi (the appetizer)
Being Ginza, it was pretty classy. The prices were Ginza prices too…
Highball
Sashimi platter
Great quality.
Tofu salad
It was on the recommended list so I gave it a try, and it was really good. The tofu is from Kyoto and the vegetables were fresh too.
Shirako (cod milt)
Ara-ni (simmered fish head)
Shochu
Fried chicken
Sazae no tsuboyaki (turban shell grilled in its shell)
The soy sauce was heavy, so it was just so-so… I think it would have tasted better as sashimi.
Kinmedai, if I remember right…
Ankimo (monkfish liver)
Onigiri
A real treat.
All that food came to about 10,000 yen a head.
Round two at Caperdonich
Chichibu IPA Cask and Port Ellen
Port Ellen’s funky, peaty flavor is as superb as ever…
Chieftain’s Cigar Malt 20 Year
Apparently it’s not sold to the general public… The 19-year I had before was a revelation, but this one, hmm… Maybe my palate has changed…
Tanmen Shakishaki
To settle my stomach at the end, I had a bowl of tanmen and headed home.
