About this place
Set back from the bustling pace around Kichijoji Station, MIYAUCHI offers a relaxed atmosphere alongside a menu that freely blurs the line between Japanese and Western cooking. The selection ranges from affordable small plates to hearty, substantial dishes, coaxing the appetite in every direction. Among the house favourites is the iwanori cream risotto, where the oceanic fragrance of rock seaweed meets a velvety sauce for a thoroughly satisfying conclusion to a meal.
When it comes to drinking snacks, diners often turn to white chicken liver steeped in tamari soy sauce to bring out its rich depth, or mackerel and potato finished with a browned butter sauce. Meaty options include fragrant rosemary chicken and pan-seared duck steak, while wok-fried rice has earned its own loyal following. Portions are generous enough to share, making it easy to sample a wide spread of flavours across the table.
The drinks list matches the kitchen's versatility, featuring classic bottled Sapporo Lager alongside an impressive counter display of shochu, bottled wines, and sake. With its gently dimmed lighting and welcoming dinner setting, the dining room tends to fill up quickly, making reservations advisable.
