01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
Occupying a spot on the 2nd floor of Harumi Triton Square amid the flow of office workers and shoppers, Nagaishi Shoten is an izakaya where you can unwind over classic skewers and inventive small dishes. With its casual, welcoming atmosphere, it suits a quick solo drink just as easily as an evening out with friends.
Fragrant Skewers and Diverse Chicken Specialties
The aromatic, freshly grilled skewers are an easy place to start. Along with familiar choices like chicken thigh, negima (chicken with scallion), and liver, the kitchen prepares prized cuts such as the oyster (soli-les-laisse) and neck meat. When choosing feels tough, the 5-skewer omakase platter is a reliable way to sample the day's highlights. The poultry selection extends further with limited-quantity items like a 3-cut chicken sashimi assortment, seared jidori tataki, and crispy deep-fried chicken wings, each showcasing the natural qualities of the bird.
Small Plates and Easy Pours Built for Wine
Beyond traditional Japanese drinking snacks, the menu features Western-inspired plates such as ajillo, tofu lasagna, and prosciutto with cheese. An extensive wine list by the glass and bottle complements these bites, alongside draught beer and fresh lemon sours to match whatever you feel like drinking.
Spicy Dipping Soba with Chili Oil to Close
For the finish, many diners turn to the house specialty: spicy dipping soba featuring pork or chicken. Thick noodles topped with fragrant nori seaweed and sesame seeds are dipped into a rich broth laced with chili oil for a thoroughly satisfying conclusion. Adding an egg softens the heat into a velvety richness, letting you savor the broth right down to the final drop.
