About this place
For an evening of sampling small plates and drinks, Choiyomi Kyaza puts horse sashimi and sake in the spotlight. The three-piece horse sashimi assortment is 1,000 yen, and the menu also includes sakura yukhoe. Diners who have tried the sashimi and yukhoe say the food made a lasting impression. Choose one as a drinking companion, or compare the cuts in the assortment.
The sake tasting set, with 3 kinds, costs 1,000 yen and is a good option for anyone keen to try a range. Individual pours include Matsumoto Junmai from Kyoto for 400 yen and Midorikawa Junmai from Niigata for 500 yen, among other labels from different regions. One diner described asking for advice on pairing sake with the food; if you’re unsure what to choose, asking for a recommendation can be part of the pleasure.
For something more casual, there’s house-made potato salad, as well as iburigakko—smoked daikon—with cream cheese in a white miso dressing, served with crackers. The restaurant offers dine-in service and is described as suitable for solo diners.
