"Gigas Takadanobaba store" is about a 2-minute walk from JR Takadanobaba station. It is an oyster bar that offers fresh oysters procured from home and abroad.
The writer arrived around 20:00 on weekdays, and the store was almost full. It's lively, but not as noisy as an izakaya.
While there are attractive menus such as "Oyster oven-baked (298 yen)" and "Oyster smoke (298 yen)" that you can order from one piece, I ordered "Oyster cream pizza (1,500 yen)" and "Oyster Paella-style Kamameshi (680 yen) "(all tax included).
Oyster cream pizza is a pizza with oysters, mushroom paste, white sauce, oyster paste, cheese and bacon. A dish with plenty of oyster flavor.
A whole piece of oysters in a luxurious way! The dough is thin, but you can enjoy the chewy texture. The thick and rich white sauce goes well with the juicy oysters!
The umami of oysters spreads slowly each time you chew, and the saltiness of cheese and bacon. It's easy to eat, but it has a lingering taste, so I feel like I can continue to eat it indefinitely. Don't be addicted to this ...
Oyster paella-style kamameshi is a paella-style kamameshi made with oysters. You can enjoy the process of cooking in front of you. When I ordered, oysters from Hyogo prefecture (Ako) were used, but it seems to vary from day to day.
It is carried with the kettle
I'll wait until the fire goes out
When the fire goes out (about 30 minutes), it's time to eat. When you take off the lid, it has a nice scent that you can't say anything about rising up! The sweetness of the tomatoes and paprika melted into the rice soaked with the plump oyster extract is irresistible. The crispy sardines are also delicious!
As soon as you open it, you will hear a voice saying "Wow!"
There were about 3 oysters in it
"Gigas" where you can fully enjoy the deliciousness of oysters. How about a year-end party where oyster lovers gather?
