01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
A meal at Iyashiya begins with the complimentary starter salad, followed by a succession of varied plates well suited to a night of drinks: fresh seasonal sashimi, glossy raw oysters, refreshing eel-and-cucumber uzaku, and tender, dashi-rich rolled omelettes. The broad selection of standalone dishes gives diners plenty of freedom to graze across fresh seafood and classic tavern fare.
A crisp, aromatic half-fried young chicken offers substantial eating, ideal for sharing around the table alongside drafts of beer or chilled highballs. Drinkers can opt for the eye-catching Ayashi mug, sized at roughly 3 times a regular medium draft, or explore a curated selection of regional sake and wine to match the spread.
While primarily an izakaya, the kitchen delivers hearty, comforting meals that could easily anchor dinner on their own. Local specialties like Nerima spaghetti share space with fluffy fried rice and classic omurice, catering just as effortlessly to an evening meal as they do to late-night post-drink cravings.
Seating includes an approachable counter for solo guests alongside conventional tables and raised tatami flooring that comfortably accommodates groups and families. Balancing thoughtful small bites with generous fried dishes and comforting carbs, the tavern makes settling in an easy proposition whatever the mood.
