Travel Japan recommends: Tokyo restaurant Hananomai is part of a large chain of kaisen (seafood) Izakaya restaurants found all over Japan. I happened to meet a relative at the Hananomai Ginza a Tokyo restaurant for some food and drinks and was pleasantly surprised. We were ushered to a semi-private booth and proceded to have a great time eating some very unusual dishes. Some of the dishes included basashi (raw horse meat) for 480yen, kujira bacon (fatty part of the whale flesh) for 580Yen, namako (raw sea cucumber) for 300Yen, tako wasabi (raw octopus with grated horse radish) for 300Yen, and ika (small raw squid in soy sauce) for 320Yen. They do serve the more traditional dishes like sashimi, sushi, salads, tempura, yakitori, fried oysters, crab, chicken katsu, yakisoba, and even steak, french fries, and cheese pizza, all at a reasonable price. The drinks were quite reasonable too, with sake, shochu, beer, and mixed drinks. We were able to get by with about 5000 yen apiece after quite a few drinks and lots of food. Hananomai Ginza is located on the first floor in the Joint Bldg., 6-2-10 Ginza, Chuo-Ku. (Ph: 03-3572-2595). Tokyo Ginza subway sta., about a 3 min. walk from exit C2. Hours: M-F 5:00PM - 12:30AM, Sat 4:00PM - 12:30AM.
