Bar

One diner who took home chestnut rice remembered its naturally balanced seasoning and the way it brought out the seasonal ingredients. The menu for eating in also features ingredient-led small plates, such as simmered young daikon with deep-fried tofu and cooked taro. It’s the sort of menu that invites you to start with a dish that catches your eye and settle in for a leisurely meal with a taste of the season.

The selection goes beyond Japanese-style small plates, with thoughtful combinations such as white miso-dressed kumquats and watercress, and Tochio fried tofu baked with celery miso and cheese. For fish, the listed choices include sea bream, amberjack and chopped horse mackerel; the carpaccio can also be arranged as a selection to suit your preferences. If you’d like something more substantial to round out the meal, options include a grilled brown-rice rice ball, dashi ochazuke (rice in broth) and a udon-and-egg set.

Bar is an izakaya in Kyodo that serves guests dining in and offers takeaway. The drinks include wine and beer, and visitors have also mentioned enjoying sake and shochu. It’s a good fit for an evening meal of small plates paired with a drink of your choice.
