Hitomi

One visitor who stopped by on a cold day chose beer and oden. The selection includes daikon, thick fried tofu, egg, potato, konjac, burdock-fish-cake fritters, cabbage rolls and shumai, so you can start with familiar favourites or pick out a single filling that catches your eye. The visitor recalled that the oden was well simmered. Beer options listed include a medium mug of draft beer and draft beer by the glass; another visitor mentioned drinking Asahi Super Dry.

There is plenty beyond oden, including sashimi, grilled and fried dishes, and small sides. Hamachi sashimi is listed at ¥350, while offcuts of medium-fatty bluefin tuna are ¥500—both options when you fancy something from the sea. For a lighter bite, visitors have also chosen sasa-kamaboko fish cake for ¥150 and rice-bran-pickled water eggplant for ¥200. One visitor said they browsed the menu and chose these two while sipping a chūhai.

Drinks include draft beer and sake, as well as lemon, lime and Kyoho-grape chūhai, tomato chūhai and a clear highball. Whether you start with oden and beer or sample a different drink alongside a few small plates, you can put together a meal to suit your mood. Hitomi is also described as suitable for dining solo, and accepts cash only. It is worth bearing the payment method in mind before settling in for a casual drink.
