Kame-chan

A good place to start at Kame-chan is the chef’s assorted trio of obanzai, or Japanese-style home dishes. Diners have reported combinations such as thick fried tofu with horse mackerel fry and potato with butter and cheese, as well as mapo tofu, bean sprouts simmered with tomato and grilled chikuwa. The selection seems to vary. One visitor found the trio generous enough to make a satisfying stop before heading on to another plan.

A highball would make an easy match for the day’s assortment. Drinks listed include highballs, large bottles of Kirin Lager and Suntory Malt’s, and small bottles of Asahi Super Dry. One diner ordered a bottle of Kirin Lager with the assorted trio and also enjoyed the salted squid.

For a few smaller bites, consider chilled tofu, cabbage with salted sauce or plum-seasoned jellyfish. Gyoza is listed grilled or boiled, too—an appealing option when you want to add one more snack.

Kame-chan is a standing bar in Tamatsukuri, and some visitors have stopped in for a quick drink and bite. It is described as suitable for dining alone. Payment is cash only.
