Starting next month, eating raw pork will be banned in Japan. Before that happens, we held farewell parties at Hyottoko and Kompei. I already wrote about Hyottoko in my last post. Today, I’ll share my experience at Kompei (もつ焼 こん平). . Kompei (or Konpei) is a long-established izakaya located near Kameido and Nishi-Ojima stations.
Here’s the menu. It features a variety of dishes, including motsuyaki, sashimi, and other classic izakaya fare.
We started with the assorted giblet sashimi, a popular dish that many customers order first. It pairs perfectly with Japanese sake 🙂
The platter included uterus, stomach, head, tongue, and liver. While everything was delicious, the liver stood out as the best.
We loved the liver and tongue sashimi so much that we ordered them again! I’m really sad this kind of amazing dish will soon disappear in Japan.
We also enjoyed the nikomi, a simmered giblet dish with tofu in a rich miso broth. It’s hearty and comforting, much like miso soup.
Of course, we couldn’t leave without trying grilled liver, which was equally tasty. Grilled or raw, it’s a must-try!
