Japanese Food WARAJIYA 和食わらじ家 GINZA NINE

The restaurant has a very small capacity. There is only one counter which has about 10 seats. There are no tables in the restaurant. When I went, only one person was working there.

They offer 2 kinds of mackerel set meals for only 550 yen in downtown Tokyo, Ginza 銀座 area.
These set meals are really cost-effective!
Usually, this type of food is more expensive.

Mackerel Simmered in Miso 鯖味噌煮(さばみそに) Japanese Food WARAJIYA 和食わらじ家 GINZA NINE

Simmered Mackerel in Miso - Set Meal 550 yen
It included mackerel, rice, miso soup, small side dish, pickles and tea.

This is the other side. There are some thin bones around the belly of the mackerel, but don't worry so much about them getting stuck in the throat. They are soft because this food is well-simmered. I could eat the bones and the meat together.

It has sweet soy sauce and miso flavors.
Delicious!

It was tasty miso soup which included tofu and wakame sea vegetable.

Information

Self-Service

When I went there, there was a customer who I assumed was a regular customer because after he finished the meal he returned the empty dishes himself.
It is very helpful to staff if you place your dishes on the ledge above the counter after finishing your meal.

After that he cleaned the counter where he was sitting with a prepared rag. Then he paid the bill and left.

I noticed that this small restaurant was self-service, so I did the same thing he did.
