Hirai : Soft roe, monkfish liver gathering in a hotpot (豊田屋)

Special hotpot during cold season only !

My friend invited me to the izakaya that is named Toyotaya near Hirai station, not so far from Kinshicho and Oshiage,  the other day.

平井駅近くの豊田屋というお店に行ってきました。

It is cheap izakaya and so popular. But why this izakaya being famous among people is not just it.

They have specialty.

I told you about it later. 😛

And, this atomosphere was feast for me, too.

My first drink was it.

まずは飲み物（`･ω･´）

It had a strong taste !

Pickled Chinese cabbage (おしんこ) 150 yen

この後怒涛の料理ラッシュだったので、食べるのを忘れてしまいました(ﾉ∀`)

Inexpensive ! But I didn’t eat it. Because many dishes came again and again just after it came.

Vinegared mackerel (しめさば) 550 yen

すんごい新鮮なシメサバ。軽くしめてあります。

I didn’t have any expectation about this izakaya’s sashimi. But this vinegared mackerel was soooo fresh and tasty.
It was lightly vinegared.

Omelet(オムレツ) 200 yen

ふわんふわん(*´д｀*)

Very soft 😀

Deep fried oysters (カキフライ) 450 yen

カキはおいしかったけど、外側の衣がかたくてちょっと(；´Д｀)

Those oysters tasted very good, but those coatings were very hard and not good 🙁

ハムの肉感がスゴイΣ(ﾟДﾟ)

It textured like a real steak !

I had second helping of my drink 🙂
