About this place
For a meal around the hotpot, Tanuki’s motsunabe comes with tofu and champon noodles. The menu describes the serving, with extra offal, as enough for about 2 people, making it an appealing choice when you want a dish that can take you from the first bite through to a filling meal. Other hotpots include yosenabe, duck hotpot, kimchi hotpot and yudofu (tofu simmered in broth). Choose motsunabe for something hearty, or start with yudofu and a few small plates for a lighter meal.
Fish dishes are another option. The grilled menu lists horse mackerel, mackerel, sardines and salmon collar, and some diners have remarked on being able to enjoy fish at an izakaya. A grilled fish dish can be paired with hotpot or a drink. Other choices include fried chicken, deep-fried octopus and pan-fried gyoza, alongside drinks such as draft beer, sake and shochu.
This izakaya in Hakozaki is described as suitable for dining solo. Reservations are accepted, and payment is cash only. It is open Monday to Saturday from 17:00 to 22:00 and closed on Sundays.
