Torigoya was great. Bintochan, expert grilling. Best skewer was the Sp Heart (not the SpSp Heart, which we thought was overpowered by sauce). Good value, friendly place. Very popular.
Did a bang-bang at Gazen. The house-made tofu sampler was a revelation for my dining companion. Good cured saba sashimi. I’d go back to try more.

We got to Torigoya before they opened so got some $3 beers and a tasty kurobuta sausage at Fu-Ga’s happy hour.
