Fried horse mackerel is called “aji furai” in Japanese.Located in the shopping arcade of Sugamo, famous for the Togenuki Jizo statue, this restaurant serves excellent fried horse mackerel.

It seems that Sugamo has recently become popular not only with the elderly but also with young people.

It seems that this is because there are many restaurants that cater to a wide range of age groups.

One such restaurant is the fried horse mackerel at a restaurant in Sugamo’s shopping district.

This is delicious!

I ordered the fried horse mackerel set meal, which came with three fried horse mackerel pieces lined up.

Now, let’s try it…

Right after it’s crispy, it instantly becomes fluffy! Crispy and fluffy?!

It’s fried perfectly. Delicious!!

The horse mackerel’s flavor and texture combine to make it twice as delicious.

If you eat it without sauce, you can really taste the umami of the horse mackerel.

Of course, it’s also delicious with sauce and mustard.

And,

The waiter told me that if I ordered a refill, I’d get it for free, which is better value than ordering a large portion of rice. So kind! (^^)!

The look and atmosphere of this restaurant are typical of a diner. And it was delicious!

I’d definitely like to try their other menu items next time.
