Yashiro

For a fish set meal at Yashiro, options include salt-grilled saury and salt-grilled mackerel. One diner who had the salt-grilled saury set meal for dinner said they enjoyed it. Other menu information lists a grilled split saury set meal served with grated daikon and a small side dish. If grilled fish is what you’re after, one of these set meals with its accompanying sides could be a good choice.

For simmered fish, there is mackerel simmered in miso; if you’d rather make soup the focus, a tonjiru set meal is another option. A diner who tried the tonjiru set meal noted its generous filling and gently seasoned, home-style flavour. Another diner added mackerel simmered in miso and described the fish as tender and plump, with the miso flavour well absorbed and the dish a good match for rice. Some diners also recall pairing fish or soup-based set meals with small sides and a fried egg. The accompaniments, as well as the main dish, are part of the appeal.

For a meat dish, the menu also includes a fried-chicken set meal. One diner who ordered fried chicken made with chicken breast recalled a thin coating and honey-chilli sauce, and said the meat stayed tender rather than drying out. That account may not describe the same dish as the set meal on the menu, but it offers one specific example of a meat dish enjoyed here.

You don’t have to choose a set meal: you can also pick a few small dishes to enjoy with a meal or a drink. One diner who chose prepared dishes from the large platters at the entrance paired them with bottled beer. The recommendations include simmered thick fried tofu and ganmodoki (fried tofu fritters), as well as fried hanpen fish cake; the menu also lists medium beer and sake. Whether you’re in the mood for a full set meal or a lighter drink with a few dishes, there are different ways to eat at Yashiro.
