3F | Grilled Fish Ishikawa Nagoya | Seafood and Japanese cuisine
"The fish is very fresh and doesn't smell fishy at all! The specialty "grilled fish" is of course good, but I recommend the rice bowls that you can eat quickly by yourself at the counter. The fish itself is full of flavor, so it's delicious even without soy sauce. In particular, the "Tsukiji Strongest Seared Rice Bowl" has a good balance of ingredients and is truly the best." (Mitsubishi Jisho Property Management Co., Ltd./R.T./female)
The "meatless yakiniku restaurant" invented by Ishikawa Futoshi, founder of the famous sushi restaurant Tsukiji Aozora Sandaime, is a specialty "grilled fish" restaurant that replaces premium kalbi with fatty tuna. The "grilled fish" is quickly seared in a special roaster and is just as satisfying and flavorful as beef. It has a clean aftertaste, so it's easy to see why some frequent customers say they prefer it to beef. At lunchtime, they serve a wide variety of seafood bowls, and at dinner, they serve a "grilled fish" course as their main course.
The "Tsukiji Strongest Seared Rice Bowl" (4,280 yen) has been highly praised for its "well-balanced ingredients." It is one of the dishes we confidently recommend for a reward lunch or to entertain business guests. The secret to its deliciousness is the red vinegar rice, a standard at Yakiuo Ishikawa.
"The hamburger steak, which rivals that of a specialty restaurant, is my go-to cafe lunch."

"I love the juicy hamburger steak, which is chewy and has a strong meaty flavor. I think it's just as tasty as the ones you'd get at a specialty restaurant. I also like the fact that the rice is multigrain! I often buy bread for breakfast and bento boxes at CHARLIE'S." (Mitsubishi Jisho Property Management Co., Ltd./Ms. A.I./Female)
A cafe and grocery store with a tasteful lineup of fine and rare items from Japan and around the world.[CHARLIE'S]The cafe, which is characterized by its "simple" feel reminiscent of an old-fashioned coffee shop, offers a wide variety of dishes, from lunches such as the hamburger steak shown in the photo to desserts such as pancakes and custard pudding, creating an atmosphere that makes you want to visit frequently for "daily use." It is a shop that is a great ally for busy workers, regardless of the time of day, morning, noon, or night.
The "Hamburger Lunch" (1,580 yen) comes with a set of rice and a drink. The accompanying pasta and fries are reminiscent of hamburgers served at Western restaurants.

3F | Yamatora | Nagoya Izakaya
"You can get either miso oden or kushikatsu as a set with the obanzai, which uses plenty of vegetables. It's also a good value for women. It's just the right amount of volume for women. If I feel like I'm running out of vegetables, I always go straight there." (Mitsubishi Estate) Property Management Co., Ltd./Ms. A・Y/Female)
The oden pot visible from the counter will whet your appetite. Miso oden and miso kushikatsu are the two major specialties of this Nagoya izakaya.
