About this place
Start by sharing sashimi, or order the chicken-wing gyoza singled out as a house favourite. At Itsuki, choosing the first dish is part of the pleasure. Diners who tried the sashimi platter have praised the firm texture and flavour of amberjack and yellowtail. Recommended choices also include tuna sashimi and assorted sashimi, so a meal can begin with a selection of raw fish and build from there. The chicken-wing gyoza, meanwhile, has been described as piping hot and juicy. It brings a different kind of dish to the table and changes the pace from the sashimi.
Oden is another dish that diners have particularly enjoyed. One review noted that the broth had soaked into the ingredients. The menu lists an assortment as well as individual choices such as daikon, egg, konjac and burdock tempura. Choose the assortment or pick out the ingredients that appeal. The listed price for the oden assortment is ¥700, while some individual pieces are ¥150. Prices and availability may change, so check when you visit.
Beyond sashimi and oden, the menu ranges from seafood to meat and vegetables, with choices such as yam steak, asparagus wrapped in pork and fried octopus. It suits an evening of combining several small plates and trying a range of dishes. Some diners have found themselves ordering more because of the menu’s breadth; others have appreciated portions that leave room to sample different things. The restaurant is presented as suitable for both solo diners and groups, and reservations are available.
