Motsu nabe for 2 people was large volume! Also enjoyed the creamy crab croquettes.

えんまや 〒112-0002 東京都文京区小石川2丁目23-13 Visited on May 20, 2026. We came as a large group after paying our respects at こんにゃく閻魔. Although we had no reservation, they let us use the fairly spacious second floor, where we could relax. Since the restaurant is called “えんまや,” we all searched the menu for dishes related to “閻魔” or “こんにゃく,” but there weren't many featuring konnyaku; it seemed there was just a little in the motsu nabe. We also couldn't order the “えんま盛り” sashimi because they had run out of ingredients that day, which was a little disappointing. The shochu selection was fairly extensive. Drawn to the name again, this time I had 老松酒造's “黒閻魔” (long-aged barley shochu made entirely with black koji). Only 3 dishes appear in the photos, but we actually enjoyed a variety of dishes. Conversation flowed with the friends who had joined me on the 閻魔 pilgrimage, and we had a lovely evening. Thank you. 【Shochu list】 SAZAN(サザン)　Class ko (unsweetened) Miyagi (700ml) 一番札　Barley (900ml)　Tokushima いいちこ深薰　Barley (720ml)　Oita 2,780円 金黒　Sweet potato (900ml)　Fukuoka 鍛高譚(たんたかたん)　Shiso (720ml)　Hokkaido 2,580円 黒閻魔　Barley (720ml)　Oita 龍門滝　Sweet potato (900ml)　Kagoshima 古薩摩カメ仕込み　Sweet potato (720ml)　Kagoshima 2,880円 小松帯刀　Sweet potato (720ml)　Kagoshima

An izakaya conveniently located a 4～5-minute walk from either 春日 or 後楽園 subway station. It's very close to こんにゃく閻魔. It was an old-fashioned, nostalgic izakaya with a Showa-era feel. On 1F, counter seats surround the kitchen, with tables around them and sunken-floor tatami seating at the back. There is tatami seating on 2F as well. With fried squid at 580円 and chicken, cheese, and shiso rolls at 620円, the very reasonable prices for this location are welcome. The freshly fried food was sooo delicious.

Visited for lunch🍽 The place has 4 tables, counter seating for about 5 people, and 4 tables on a raised seating area. There's a lunch menu, so you choose from that. Quite a few people ordered tuna🐟, but I tried karaage🕊️. It arrived in about 10 minutes. Looking at the menu, I thought there'd be 4 pieces? But there were 6‼️ The karaage is a bit like yurinchi. There's loads of mayonnaise on the lettuce🥬, so you can dip the karaage in it to change the flavor✌️ Wow, getting full for 1000円 left me very satisfied😋💮

I had the トンカツ定食. It was pretty ordinary, but I think that's probably fine for this place✨✨ The other dishes are all about the same. There are lots of office workers, and you may share a table when it's busy.
