It's tucked away inside a building in front of the station, but there's a sign outside, so you should be able to find it. The offal in the motsunabe is delicious but very rich and fatty, so if you prefer leaner offal, this might not be the place for you. The dishes besides motsunabe are delicious too. They're well seasoned without being too strong. The staff seem a little amateurish, or like relatives helping out, which feels unusual, but it isn't bad. The gobo ten, sumotsu, and stir-fried offal are particularly good. Smoking was allowed as of March 2018. The restroom is outside the restaurant but inside the building. It isn't dirty, but it's tucked away around a corner in the corridor, and the signs saying to always lock the door! Check for people around you! made me feel a little unsafe, so I'd recommend women use the station restroom or another one before visiting.

Had motsunabe (soy sauce) with a friend. Apparently they source the ingredients and broth from Fukuoka. The flavor is by far the best around Nakano and Suginami, many of the other dishes have an extra touch, and the atmosphere is homey. I'd like to visit again.

Weekday lunch had all-you-can-eat mentaiko. Unlimited refills of white rice and miso soup too. And the grilled horumon and other dishes were really delicious, but lunch service is suspended for a while. Hoping they'll bring it back.

The motsunabe is delicious, and they also hold private events on Sundays, so check it out!

The motsunabe was delicious. Shame the highball was weak…
