Gonjiro

At Gonjiro, chicken sashimi and seared chicken thigh are tempting places to start. One visitor described the white chicken liver sashimi as rich, and enjoyed the seared thigh for its texture and how well it paired with ponzu. Another visitor praised the pickled ginger served alongside the chicken dried with mirin. From raw chicken dishes to seared and mirin-dried preparations, there are several ways to enjoy chicken here.

For a meal centred on chicken, one diner ordered fried chicken alongside sashimi and seared chicken. A visitor who returns whenever they are back in their hometown always orders the mirin-dried chicken and sashimi, as well as chicken sukiyaki—a useful option for anyone in the mood to share a hot pot. Another diner found the mackerel sushi an unexpectedly pleasing way to round off the meal. These are separate visitors' orders, but together they suggest plenty of ways to shape an evening, whether you are pairing chicken dishes with drinks or adding one last plate to dinner.

Gonjiro serves small plates and offers alcoholic drinks, including beer, as well as an all-you-can-drink option. One visitor said they ordered from the Japanese-language menu, with the owner helping explain dishes when they were unsure what they meant. It is an option for an evening of choosing a few dishes at a time and enjoying them with a drink.
