Kamiosaki, Shinagawa City Tokyo-to 2-15-5
https://tabelog.com/en/tokyo/A1316/A131601/13013213/
This is an izakaya that isn’t like any other. With a very small kitchen staff running it, it’s not somewhere you expect to eat a quick dinner on the way back home. It’s a place you go to relax after a long day and enjoy time to spend savouring a delicious meal. There is a set of sashimi, soup and small plates that every customer receives as an hors d’oeuvre as they arrive, which eases you in perfectly accompanied with a drink.
The menu changes daily, each dish costing anywhere from around ¥500 to ¥2000. There are simple dishes like tamagoyaki, a Japanese omelette, as well as nabe (hotpot) style dishes, fried dishes and noodle/rice dishes too. All presented with elegance and grace, but packed with flavour and some kind of original twist.
Although this izakaya is not a place most wallet-friendly, for the quality, it is worth every penny. It may also be worth noting that it is not a place many non-Japanese people know, it may be actually easier to navigate the menu with a Japanese speaker! Very close to Meguro station, it is very easily accessible, and looks appealing outside and in- there are also private rooms even for small parties of four.
