They fried a tunny sent directly from Misaki fishing port and seasoned with blackpepper. I was about to become addicted to the strong taste. It's interesting that such a B-grade gourmet is in higher Azabu-juban.

Soft and creamy Oyako-don (soft stewed egg and chicken on rice) is very delicious. The meringue is fizzy in my mouth, and the stock is also wonderful. It's only 890 yen with salad, side dish, and Akadashi miso soup. I like this lunch very much.

The characteristic of this izakaya is that you can eat monja even though it is a izakaya. Appetizers are French-based and elaborate dishes. A toast with a brilliant drink. Extremely sour with blood orange sorbet. The drink menu is also abundant. There are 11 types of monja to choose from. Infinite because there are toppings.

The original Yuno Tan Shabu-shabu is visually happy with the aged beef tongue carpet. And the beef tongue shabu-shabu served with the special pon vinegar has a good taste and texture! I am satisfied with my eyesight and taste. And if I would like to recommend something else, fried offal! Although it has an odor, it was delicious without feeling the odor even if I was not good at it. Deep-fried chicken with a strong taste!
