“Butatesu” serves grilled pork offal on an iron plate and more.
The menu features a variety of dishes perfect for pairing with drinks, including the
signature Offal Plate Mix for only 580 yen and seasonal items such as simmered oden made with a special broth.
The prices are comparable to, if not lower than, the oden sold at convenience stores! The idea is to have food and a few of your favorite drinks for around 2000 yen and be satisfied.
The Refreshing Shibaisu Sour priced at 430 yen is infused with the rich umami of pickled vegetables.
This is a surprisingly delish and refreshing drink. The balance of sweet and sour is perfect, including notes of pickled plum and shiso leaves. It’s made in-house and tastes natural.
Nankotsu Garlic Butter (190 yen)
This is packed with flavor and has a variety of textures. Despite looking like a hard bone, every part of this meat and cartilage dish can be eaten. The experience feels like eating an appetizer in a luxury course meal.
The Philly Cheese Steak, priced at 460 yen, is a harmony of rich cheese, meat, and a special sauce!
This American-inspired dish has an overall Asian taste thanks to the sweet sauce commonly eaten with Japanese meat dishes. It’s simple yet satisfying, letting you enjoy a variety of flavors and textures.
It’s a popular restaurant, with some regulars coming 4 to 5 times a week.
This restaurant is a local favorite, attracting nearby people and creating a friendly, communal atmosphere. The real charm lies in the food and drinks, making it a true hidden gem worth visiting.
The owner has lived abroad and can help with recommendations if you’re unsure what to order—but whatever you choose will likely be excellent!
