Japanese restaurant • 7-chōme-14-3 Tsukiji, Chuo City, Tokyo 104-0045, Japan
Nestled in the alleyways of Tsukiji, "French Okonomiyaki & Samgyetang Ayumu" might seem like an odd combination at first glance. However, this restaurant masterfully blends Japanese, Western, and Korean cuisines to offer a unique taste.
Lunch focuses on Korean cuisine, with Samgyetang being especially popular. Even with a half-size portion, the hot soup filled with ample chicken and medicinal herbs warms the body thoroughly. Served with salad and kimchi, it is attractively priced at 1500 yen.
In the evening, the restaurant transforms into a specialty house for French okonomiyaki. Dishes like shrimp avocado okonomiyaki and sea urchin okonomiyaki, featuring gourmet ingredients, line the menu. However, these innovative combinations seem to have mixed reviews.
The interior has a calming Japanese ambiance, and the staff's friendly demeanor is well-praised. Even during peak times, they strive to provide polite service.
"Ayumu" is perfect for those seeking new tastes beyond traditional boundaries. However, it might not suit everyone. If you're after unique dining experiences and enjoy delicious Samgyetang, it's worth a visit.
As it's a popular spot, especially during lunch, don't forget to make a reservation in advance!
