01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
A short distance from Shinjuku Gyoen, Toyokichi is a casual dining spot where the menu suits both a substantial lunch and a drink in the evening. Several set meals are available at lunchtime, including the popular cutlet simmered with egg, alongside fried chicken, ginger pork and a daily special. Some diners have found the seasoning of the cutlet and egg just right, making it a satisfying option with rice.
In the evening, Toyokichi takes on the feel of an izakaya, with small plates and sashimi to accompany a drink. The offerings include water octopus sashimi, surf clam sashimi and mackerel simmered in miso, all suited to a leisurely beer. Even the pickles have a thoughtful touch, and the straightforward cooking makes for a relaxed meal.
Inside, counter seating and sunken kotatsu-style seating on tatami offer space for a solo meal or a drink with a small group. The owner’s friendly attentiveness adds to the welcoming atmosphere, making it easy to settle in even on a first visit. Payment is cash only, so it is worth coming prepared.
