01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
The aroma of charcoal-grilled skewers and the inviting steam of gently simmered fish welcome diners into Narihira. While operating under a yakitori banner, it serves as both an everyday neighborhood diner and a relaxed izakaya, dishing up well-rounded set meals and varied Japanese home-style dishes at both lunch and dinner.
Aromatic Yakitori and Generous Set Meals
Classic skewers such as negima (chicken and scallion), juicy thigh, and minced chicken tsukune are grilled plump, pairing the meat's natural savor with rich tare sauce or clean salt. Heartier cravings are met by popular choices like the yakitori-don set, which layers fragrant grilled skewers over steamed white rice, and the fried chicken set, featuring deeply seasoned chicken fried to a crisp exterior. From the combination 'A Set'—which pairs sashimi with fried chicken—to the standard meals, trays come rounded out with simmered seasonal vegetables, small side dishes, and miso soup, offering satisfying variety and thoughtful home-style seasoning.
Signature Simmered Fish and Evening Bar Bites
Seafood dishes are equally central to the menu, featuring tender kinmedai (alfonsino) simmered in a sweet-savory braising glaze, the house-specialty braised sea bream head (kabutoni), and aromatic teriyaki-grilled medai. During dinner hours, the space invites lingering over draft Sapporo, bottled Akaboshi lager, or Sawanotsuru barrel sake, alongside rich, melt-in-the-mouth motsu nikomi (stewed offal) and seasonal sashimi.
Located close to Tokyo Skytree, it provides an unpretentious, down-to-earth stop well suited to both quick solo meals between sightseeing errands and relaxed evening dining. Payment is cash only, so make sure to carry sufficient yen before stopping by.
