Had uni-temaki and negi-toro temaki - both had more filling than I expected but were not particularly fresh, although I did not expect an izakaya to provide exceptional raw fish anyway and the seaweed was served sufficiently crunchy. However the eel and cheese maki was a disappointment - the amount of rice used was too much and thus disproportionate to the amount of ingredients wrapped inside.

Had uni-temaki and negi-toro temaki - both had more filling than I expected but were not particularly fresh, although I did not expect an izakaya to provide exceptional raw fish anyway and the seaweed was served sufficiently crunchy. However the eel and cheese maki was a disappointment - the amount of rice used was too much and thus disproportionate to the amount of ingredients wrapped inside. The maki tasted more like an unflavourful block of vinegared rice. The piece of eel on top was also too thin to help add taste. As a "fusion" dish typical of modern izakaya food it could definitely have been made much better.
Also had an "irori special" lunch set which looked more like a platter of random stuff including curry rice, deep-fried shrimps, some agemono, gobou salad, 2 odd pieces of asparagus and half a cherry tomato. Nothing tasted particularly bad but nothing particularly good either...not worth saying any more. and same goes to the udon I had that day...
might come back to try more izakaya-orientated food, but probably not soon
