MENU
At Kouetsu, a wide variety of dishes made with seasonal ingredients are offered. Popular homestyle dishes include sweet Kanto-style tamagoyaki (Japanese omelet), potato salad, and simmered daikon radish (furofuki daikon). Additionally, you can enjoy dishes prepared with premium ingredients such as softshell turtle hot pot (suppon marunabe) and deep-fried pufferfish (fugu karaage).
As shuko (sake accompaniments), there are over 20 kinds, including delicacies like monkfish liver (ankimo) and salted squid entrails (konowata), which pair exceptionally well with Japanese sake. It is common to see regular customers savoring these dishes alone at their own pace, enjoying a relaxed and free dining style.
