Gonpachi is an izakaya-style restaurant located in the "quiet" side of the Roppongi neighborhood. Decorated in a warm and rustic style with wooden furniture, the two-storied restaurant offers a short menu full of charcoal-grilled skewers and soba noodles.
The "Gonpachi Supreme" is a must-try here. This platter contains three of the most popular skewers at Gonpachi including toro, or tuna belly with wasabi and daikon radish, foie gras with balsamic sauce and fresh strawberry and lastly, Japanese Kuroge beef sirloin.
And if you are feeling adventurous, try the "Sunagimo" gizzard which is served medium (left).
Still have room for some more? Try their "Tebasaki" chicken wings. They are not as good as the ones we had in Nagoya but it's worth a try.
Gonpachi (Nishi-Azabu) is much more than just an izakaya. It's a culinary institution not to be missed by any foodie.
