About this place
For a place to enjoy a drink from lunchtime, Shishimarutaro is one option, opening at noon. Its oden selection includes daikon, beef tendon, egg, konnyaku and thick fried tofu, making it easy to start with a single serving. A daily changing ingredient is also listed, so you can pair a familiar favourite with something specific to the day.
Beyond oden, the menu ranges from lighter plates such as special kimchi, potato salad and edamame to yakitori, house-made fried chicken, fried gyoza and several kinds of croquette. There is plenty to choose from for a light daytime snack or a fuller evening meal, with drinks including draft beer, highballs and chūhai.
Diners have singled out the sashimi of tuna kama, the collar cut, while others have reported enjoying chicken thigh tataki and chanja. These accounts offer a glimpse of a menu that goes beyond familiar izakaya staples, with the possibility of daily recommendations and assorted sashimi as well.
Some visitors have recorded stopping in for daytime drinks, and dining alone inside is also an option.
