Closed – [Tokyo] Splendid grilled pork at Abats in Hongo Sanchome

Abats in Hongo-Sanchome is a popular bistro and I had wanted to visit there for a long time. And finally, I had lunch at there with my friend. Their lunch time is on weekdays only, so it’s hard to have a chance to visit. So, finally !

When we got to Abats, there was little vacant seats. And lamb and duck meat that was our target was already sold out ! Their lunch time is very popular because they serve great meat dishes.

That day’s lunch menu
* Sauted chicken’s leg with burdock cream 950 yen
* White liver putty 950 yen
* Ezo deer sausage 1100 yen
* Roasted pork shoulder 1150 yen
* Roasted duck’s leg 1150 yen
* Nametagarei fish with fukinotou 1400 yen
* Herb-crusted grilled lamb meat 1500 yen

Oh my…..

There’s only one staff. He led guest to seats, serve water, cook, check and setting table again. He seemed too busy. We were seated and waited patiently until he took our order.

Just after I took this picture, another guest was seated. White-based restaurant was simple and the restaurant was occupied by counter table mainly.

I pulled myself and ordered roasted pork shoulder meat. My acquaintance ate it before. She said it was delicious. So. Our breads were served after a while. Soft.

And our dishes were served one after another. Wow… Gigantic. This is my pork shoulder meat.

Unbelievable juicy pork ! Though it was thick, I could easily cut with my knife. Mushed potato and steamed cabbage under the meat. Those were good too. It went with tomato-based sauce very well.

Somehow my friend ordered fish. Nametagarei. Nametagarei is flat fish. We often eat nametagarei at Tsukiji Market. Its name contained “farce” in Japanese words, so I use the word “stuffing”. But actually it wasn’t stuffed and the fukinotou was under the fish. Maybe he couldn’t stuff it into sliced fish 😛

I don’t like fukinotou because it’s too bitter for me. But the fish was good. Its outside was crisp but inside was soft and juicy. Certainly it was delicious, but he should have ordered meats there all the same 😛
