About this place
Visitors often single out the gizzard sashimi, liver sashimi and fried chicken as dishes to try first at Abarenbo. One diner described the gizzard as satisfyingly crunchy and the liver as free of any off-putting smell, with a hint of sweetness. Both are worth considering for an evening centred on chicken sashimi; each appears on the menu.
Diners have also praised the fried chicken’s crisp exterior, saying that the dipping sauce adds another layer of flavour. One visitor enjoyed the same sauce with the gizzard sashimi, too, suggesting a pleasing way to move between the contrasting flavours of raw and fried dishes. Drinks to go with the chicken include draft beer, shochu and shochu with lime. One diner found that shochu paired well with the sashimi; the menu lists shochu served on the rocks, with water or with hot water, as well as shochu with lime.
To finish the meal, consider chicken rice, sōmen or nyūmen. One visitor remarked that the chicken rice had a well-developed dashi flavour. It may catch the eye if you fancy a rice dish after a meal built around skewers and sashimi.
