We had tea, walked around Shinbashi and manga cafe for killing time until the opening time of Toyotaya.
JR Hirai station.
Without this izakaya, I would not have got off the station forever.
この店がなければ、多分降りることは一生なかったかもしれません。JR平井駅。
Toyotaya !
This was the second time to visit there this year !

We got to there before 4 p.m, the opening time. Though it was raining heavily, there were already some people waiting in front of the shop in the rain.
We didn’t take the reservation this time. But we could enter the shop because the shop don’t accept reservations of the long counter table. So if you come to the shop before the opening time, you may enter the shop just after the opening.
Every tables were reserved.
開店直後、テーブルはすでに予約席に。カウンターもほとんど満席に。
Those yellow boards are signs of reservation.
Reservation signs were pieces of corrugated cardboard before 😛
The long counter table was nearly full just after its opening time.
My drink was whisky highball (ウィスキーハイボール, 300 yen).
今回は趣向を変えて（？）洋風のお酒を(ﾉ∀`)
Toyotaya is so popular as hotpot that is called “gout hotpot” containing soft roe, monkfish liver, oysters and so on. But the also serve tasty sashimi, too.
Vinegared mackerel (シメサバ, 580 yen)
お鍋だけじゃなく、お刺身もおいしいです。特にこのシメサバ！
Horse mackerel from Bungo (豊後のアジ刺し, 700 yen)
アジ刺しも鮮度が良かったです(*´д｀*)
After a while, our hotpot came.
最近そろそろ、さすがに痛風の２文字が頭をよぎるのですよΣ(ﾟДﾟ)
We were two but decided to eat three portions of hotpot and we ordered one portion of soft roe, one portion of monk fish and one portion of monk fish liver.
２人で３人前食べちゃおう！ということで白子１人前、あんこう１人前、あんきも１人前を注文(ﾉ∀`)
Not only seafood but also plenty of vegetables !
Soft roe 1900 yen, Monk fish 1800 yen and Monk fish liver 1900 yen.
While waiting our hotpot cooked, we ate conger eels tempura (アナゴ天ぷら, 500 yen).
鍋ができるまで穴子の天ぷらを食べながら待ちます。
Its coating was not seems tempura. But those conger eels were soft and tasty.
After a while, the chef said that our hotpot is completed.
Look ! This fine soft roe !
もういいよ～とお店の人。見よ。このぷっくりした白子ちゃん(*´д｀*)
By the way, now I am scared of getting gout 😛
I know women are less prone to gout. But I am eating such foods too much. I often eat mentaiko, too. I’ll take care.
