Kanzashi

For a meal with a little variety, Kanzashi’s set meals bring together dishes such as grated yam, multigrain rice, tempura and savoury egg custard. One diner fondly recalled choosing a set with grated yam over multigrain rice, tempura and egg custard, enjoying the smaller dishes at an unhurried pace. Some sets let you choose white rice or ten-grain rice, and combine grated yam with salad, small side dishes, four kinds of seasonal tempura and egg custard. The menu also notes free refills of rice and miso soup, making it easier to choose a meal to suit your appetite.

For a meal built around fried dishes, options include a yuzu-seasoned fried-chicken set with grated yam, rice, a choice of mini noodles and a small side dish, as well as a pork fillet cutlet set with Hatcho miso sauce. The mixed cutlet set combines pork loin cutlet, prawn tempura and pork fillet cutlet—a good choice if you can’t settle on just one. The menu notes free refills of rice and miso soup with set meals, too.

For a rice bowl, there’s an eel-topped rice set served with mini soba or udon, seasonal tempura and egg custard. One diner who tried the bowl praised the eel’s soft, tender texture and the well-balanced dashi seasoning. They also enjoyed the soba and egg custard, making this a set to consider if you want a rice bowl with a few more dishes alongside it.

Some diners return to the katsudon and soba set, another option for a familiar pairing of noodles and a main dish. There are also set meals combining sushi, tempura and noodles. The Kanzashi Set includes three pieces of sushi and a choice of zaru soba or zaru udon; the Momoyama set comes with six pieces of sushi and noodles. These make it easy to choose according to how much variety you’re after.

For something sweet, the menu features glass parfaits with matcha, hojicha, black sesame or kinako, as well as shiratama zenzai and warabi mochi. Drinks include matcha latte, hojicha and matcha soda, offering a way to extend the tea flavours after your meal.

Lunch and dinner menus are available, with dine-in table service. Come for a varied set meal, a rice bowl paired with noodles, or a break over Japanese sweets.
