About this place
At lunchtime, the chance to choose two main dishes is a highlight at Mahoroba. Reviewers mention combinations such as tuna sashimi with bite-sized cutlet, or Japanese rolled omelette with stir-fried vegetables; these meals also came with rice, miso soup and a small side dish. Another diner described choosing bonito sashimi and salt-grilled mackerel. Whether you lean towards fish or pair it with fried food or vegetables, you can pick two dishes to suit your mood. One review reported paying 1,000 yen for a two-dish lunch.
In the evening, settle in for a drink and a few small plates, as you would at an izakaya. The sashimi platter is listed at 1,200 yen and serves at least two; the menu description gives a price from 600 yen per person, with prices subject to change depending on ingredient availability. Diners have mentioned tuna and oyster sashimi, while others report enjoying seasonal sashimi and seared beef. The à la carte menu also includes the house-special rolled omelette and grilled pork belly with sauce, along with dried squid tempura and kushikatsu. Beer and other alcoholic drinks are available, and you can keep things light with a single small dish or finish with grilled rice balls or ochazuke, rice served with tea or broth.
