Yorinuki Gyorui Yamatoya Hanzou Akasaka Biz Tower

At Yorinuki Gyorui Yamatoya Hanzou Akasaka Biz Tower, dried fish portions often exceed the edges of the plate, grilled slowly over charcoal until thoroughly aromatic. Fish-centred teishoku set meals are offered at lunch and into the evening, making the restaurant a dependable stop whenever you are in the mood for a satisfying seafood meal.

The menu features traditional dried fish staples such as butterflied horse mackerel, salt-dried chub mackerel, whole Okhotsk atka mackerel, and salmon belly strips. Among the customer favourites, the butterflied fatty herring set features crisp, fragrant skin over rich, succulent flesh that releases its flavorful fat as you eat. Grated daikon radish provides a clean contrast between bites of freshly cooked rice. Other preparations showcase distinct curing styles, such as the sweet-glazed mirin-dried mackerel with its crisped skin or the delicate, moist Spanish mackerel cured in Saikyo sweet white miso.

Tailor Your Meal with Side Dishes

A key appeal of dining here is the freedom to customize your tray with small side dishes. Options priced accessibly include potato salad studded with crunchy herring roe, minced tuna with scallions, and Tokyo greens tossed in sesame dressing. You can also tailor the meal to your appetite by switching white rice to aged brown rice or adding extra grated daikon radish.

In the evening, the teishoku line-up is joined by an expanded selection of drinking snacks, including sashimi platters, deep-fried oysters, and soy-marinated firefly squid. Guests can linger over small plates with a medium bottle of Sapporo Akaboshi lager, a crisp whisky highball, sake, or fruit liqueurs, before finishing with grilled fish and rice. Counter seating accompanies the tables, creating an easy, welcoming setting for solo diners after work or shopping.
