About this place
One reported evening began with sashimi, including sea bream and tuna, alongside Uramura oysters, cured mackerel, kuruma prawns and Toyama white shrimp. The meal ended with sea-bream peperoncino. Seafood takes centre stage, but the choice of an unexpected noodle dish to finish hints at Yokanise’s broad menu.
The menu includes assorted sashimi, fresh bluefin tuna lean meat, octopus from Awaji and cured mackerel, as well as raw Uramura oysters with ponzu. There is plenty to choose from if you want to start with seafood and build a meal around a few dishes. For something meaty afterwards, options include Japanese black beef oyster blade and grilled lean domestic beef. A visitor singled out the Japanese black beef oyster blade as a recommendation; the menu lists it at 100g.
Mapo tofu is another tempting choice. A visitor reports that you can choose the level of heat, making it an option if you would like to tailor the spice to your taste. The menu also features aubergine simmered in mapo sauce and wood ear mushrooms stir-fried with egg, among other Chinese-style dishes.
Beer and other alcoholic drinks are available, along with small plates. Whether you are starting with a drink and a bite or settling in for a full meal, this izakaya offers seafood, meat and Chinese-style dishes to suit the mood.
