01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
At Hakatanmon, a Hakozaki izakaya, diners who come for the fish also enjoy fried chicken and small plates. One reviewer found the seasoning not too salty, making it easy to keep eating. The menu lists live-prepared horse mackerel sashimi served with crispy fish bones, a dish that also features among visitors’ favourites. There is plenty more for sashimi lovers, including red shrimp sashimi, wild Japanese amberjack sashimi and seared Spanish mackerel.
For something fried, one diner’s enthusiasm for the chicken wings stood out: they liked them enough to order some to take away. Young chicken karaage is also on the menu, and another visitor praised its generous size. For sharing, consider piping-hot croquettes or agedashi tofu, lightly flavoured with bonito stock. Reviewers have also enjoyed the potatoes, noting their pronounced potato flavour, and the fried eggplant. Yam steak is listed as a hearty dish; one diner says it is a repeat favourite. Add a teppan-grilled dish to make a meal of the fish and fried plates.
Drinks include beer and wine as well as a selection of sake. One listed option, Raifuku Green Apple, is an unpasteurised junmai daiginjo best enjoyed chilled; its description highlights a refreshing, juicy character reminiscent of green apple. To round off the meal, options include mixed rice with spicy cod roe and tiny dried sardines, chicken udon with plenty of ginger, and tea-soaked rice with pickled wasabi leaves. The menu makes it easy to plan anything from a few snacks with drinks to a more substantial meal with a final dish.
