Japan Trip - under the railway

There are many eateries under the railway in Tokyo.
They are known for its fun, unpretentious feel.
Yurakucho Sanchoku Inshokugai is one of them.

There are seven restaurants in this area. What makes this Inshokugai unique is that these seven restaurants represent certain areas of Japan and use ingredients from there (Sanchoku means transported directly from the local farm).

We chose the one called Kaimaru, a shellfish specialty restaurant.
Their ingredients come from western part of Japan.

We started with shellfish salad. I chose Chuhai and JC chose highball for drink.

Then Scallop with butter. Gooood!!

Five kinds of steamed shellfish came in tin can. I liked that.
Each of them were huge and meaty!

It was busy, noisy, typical under the railway pub.
The food was good: they use fresh ingredients and cook to maximize the goodness of it. However, the distinct atmosphere definitely added to the flavor.
