01 / ABOUT THE PLACE

About this place

At Iyaiyaen, the omakase selection of small dishes is a natural place to start. Diners report receiving a starter set alongside 2 small dishes, with time to enjoy sake or Western spirits over a leisurely meal. It may suit an evening when you’re happy to see what the kitchen serves; one diner advises mentioning any dislikes when booking.

Among the individual dishes, one diner describes the kakuni (braised pork) as carefully seasoned, with a delicate flavour. It sounds like a good choice if you’re after a calmly flavoured dish to enjoy with a drink rather than something boldly seasoned.

Some diners also recommend the hand-made bukkake soba served at weekends, offering a different way to enjoy the restaurant beyond a night centred on snacks with drinks.
