FUGUCHIN

When seasonal ingredients are on the menu, part of the pleasure is choosing the day’s special. At FUGUCHIN, handwritten menu slips on the wall list the daily dishes. Visitors have singled out the grilled bamboo shoots and eggplant salad. Try a seasonal plate alongside a classic izakaya snack: grilled bamboo shoots are a simple way to enjoy the flavours of the season, while the positive comments about the eggplant salad suggest there’s more to explore than seafood alone.

For seafood snacks, visitors have reported enjoying whale bacon, fried loach and greeneye. Alongside familiar izakaya fare, there’s the option to try some less usual seafood. The selection may vary from day to day, so check the handwritten menu when you arrive.

This izakaya is suited to dinner and is open Tuesday to Sunday from 17 until 0 the following day. It is closed on Mondays. The restaurant is also described as suitable for solo dining, making it an option for an evening of sampling a seasonal dish and a few seafood snacks.
