Deeply Offal stew. What is the famous restaurant in Tokyo where “Nikomisuto” Kyouhei Hashimoto was shocked?

2023.12.3

#OTHER

I don’t want to lose the old bar.

Celeina: I sent you Gorillaz “Clint Eastwood” selected by Hashimoto-san. It’s getting a little cooler today, so it’s perfect for your offal stew debut, don’t you think?

Takano: It sure would be nice.

Celeina: Hashimoto-san, do you have any recommendations for listeners in Tokyo who would like to have a delicious stewed dish later today?

Hashimoto: Since we are in Roppongi, there is a restaurant called NAWA-Noren in Ebisu, which is only one line away on the Hibiya Line. It’s a stand-up bar, and the stew here is beef. The sweetness of the fat and the flavor of the beef are outstanding, and I highly recommend you try it. Most people order a “ball” to go with it.

Celeina:Do you call a highball a ball?

Hashimoto:Yes. There are areas where saying “ball” is understood. In places like Koto-ku and Katsushika-ku, if you ask for a ball, you will get something like shochu highball or special highball.

Celeina: So tonight, I should say a ball and a bowl of stewed at NAWA-Noren in Ebisu.

Hashimoto: By all means, it’s delicious.

Takano: This one is also listed in “Zekkei Bar”.

Hashimoto: Of course.

Celeina: There are so many bars listed here, and I hear it’s popular among overseas users as well.

Hashimoto: According to the analytics, the site is viewed from about 25 countries, and we receive quite a few messages.

Celeina:After all, Japanese pubs may be a uniquely Japanese culture.

Hashimoto: Yes, I think that people from overseas also want to go to deep bars.

Takano: I hear that even the younger generation is using them quite a bit now.

Hashimoto: If you go to places like Yokocho, there are a lot of young people there.

Takano: It is good, is not it? I have a question for you, but I think that good bars often have issues such as an aging population and problems with succession. If you has anything to say about that.

Hashimoto: In fact, many Chinese restaurants owned by owners around 75 years old are going out of business these days, so I think it would be great if we could find some kind of matching with Zekkei Sakaba. I don’t want to destroy good bars, I want to encourage them.

Celeina:Matching young people who want to help the store with someone who wants to help. That is important.

Hashimoto:There are many stores that close because of difficulties in finding successors or because of the aging of the buildings.

Celeina:First of all, it is important for us to visit popular bars.

Takano: We have to eat delicious offal stew.

Celeina:Also, today is the first anniversary of our program, and we are asking our listeners, “Do you have any personal anniversaries? Hashimoto-san, do you have any personal anniversaries?

Hashimoto:I always go to Kishida-ya once a year. It’s like being in a dream, but I go there to experience the space and the manners of the restaurant, as if I am going back to the very beginning.

Celeina:It’s already the anniversary of the stew.

Takano: That’s nice, like a salad anniversary.

Celeina:I’m interested in the Ebisu restaurant, but I also want to check out Kishida-ya in Tsukishima as a must.

Hashimoto: By all means. It is a very famous restaurant.

Celeina:I’ve been introduced to your friends through the “FIST BUMP” circle of friends connected by goo touch.

Hashimoto: This is Zin Toshio, a professional cheerleader, or rather, an inspiring man who writes cheer songs in various places.

Celeina:In a word, what kind of person is he?

Hashimoto: Already, exciting.

Takano: Thank you very much. Tomorrow, we will welcome Japan’s only cheer song producer, Zin Toshio.

Celeina: “FIST BUMP” today we welcome Kyouhei Hashimoto of Nikomisuto. Thank you very much.
