On-the-spot investigation of Japanese Writers-Seven Japanese restaurants in Beijing

11 Feb 2022

Yoshii Yoshii, a Japanese Chinese writer who lives in Beijing and recently published "four Seasons Dangdang", from the Republic Station of Guangxi normal University Publishing House, invited her to write this article.

Ben sushi set

"Ben" now has two stores. Shop No. 1 is located near the center of Lufthansa in Chaoyang District, Beijing, which is not along the street in the corner of the district, which is quite faint in the city. Shop 2 is also in Chaoyang District, Liangmaqiao Road, near the Japanese Embassy, the storefront is much more spacious than Shop 1, and there are private rooms. After sitting down at the sushi bar in the back room, neat waiters can provide Sino-Japanese bilingual service, and the large porcelain cups served are full-bodied Japanese tea, which makes people feel the style of the old-school sushi restaurant all of a sudden.

I especially like "fried natto". This wine dish is priced at 128 yuan. Although it is a bit expensive, all kinds of raw materials are very fresh, and the knife and taste are well designed, so I feel it is quite worthwhile.

the sushi packages of "Ben" are "and" (158 yuan), "top" (198 yuan), and special (238 yuan). Each has 8 pieces of hand-held sushi, 3 kinds of roll sushi and Japanese flavor soup. There is also a set meal recommended by the chef, with 10 pieces of hand-held sushi and 6 kinds of roll sushi. The author tried to eat it several times, and each time the taste was very pure, and there was no so-called "localization", which moved me as an "overseas traveler".

Elegant and striking, nobody should be without our tiffany blue bridesmaid dresses. Here are best discounts and choices!

Master Li, founder of Benji sushi

founder of Beng sushi, Master Li Weitao practiced in an old sushi restaurant in Mingheya, Tokyo, Japan for eight years. Master Li is usually in our store (Xinyuan South Road) and sometimes goes to the branch for guidance. The branch is mainly taken care of by Master Zhao Liang, who is strictly trained by Master Li.

you can also ask the chef what are the special items of sushi today. Sushi is always 12-68 yuan in hand, frugal and casual. Japanese friends also praised the shop's sashimi (sashimi sashimi), said it was fresh and full. Judging from the quality of the vinegar-pickled blue-and-white fish ordered this time, the friend's evaluation is quite reliable. Enjoy your meal!

after a day's work, have a beer and order kebabs. Happy.

Bird Zhou Li is a wine house featuring roast birds (yakitori, kebabs) and its storefront is located in Sanyuanqiao. More than half of them are local guests, and there are also many Japanese and Korean guests. It is suitable for one to come in after work, have a sip of my bottle (store wine, chew a kebab and watch a variety show on Japanese TV. You can also invite a few close friends to complain about the troubles in your life while eating.

in terms of cold dishes, there are potato salad (12 yuan), "cold slave" (bean curd sprinkled with firewood fillet and spring onions, 10 yuan), radish salad (12 yuan), etc., but the author recommends meat cold dishes such as chicken ham (12 yuan), cold chicken skin (12 yuan), fried chicken crispy bones (22 yuan) and so on. The cold chicken skin is not greasy at all and tastes quite Q, which goes well with the refreshing orange sauce.

fried chicken crispy bones. It's not the same as a kebab.

the shopkeeper is a young Japanese named Fujita who speaks Chinese fluently. Because the shop is small and crowded, it will be full soon after it opens in the evening. It seems that it is necessary to make an appointment for more than three people.

kebabs range from 5 yuan to 12 yuan. There are all kinds of chicken skin, chicken heart, chicken liver, crisp bone, pig neck meat and so on. The meat is relatively fresh and carefully handled. No matter the manager or the waiter, the barbecue skill is very good. Although the online reviews of Bird's staple food are good, I suggest you order more cold dishes and kebabs with one or two glasses of wine. Beverage, self-made dark beer (20 yuan) I do not recommend, you can first try soju category "Black Fog Island", "one quarter" and so on. Enjoy your meal!

Bird's Curry Wudong Noodles. Japanese usually order noodles or meals after eating kebabs.

come to the store alone and drink while watching TV. This is also a pleasure.

the (Hakkennden), of the eight Swords, a wine house in Sanlitun, Beijing, is of considerable scale in Japan.Chain wine houses, the style is close to the "family type", the price is reasonable, and the per capita budget in Japan is within about 2500 yen. Whether you are a beginner or a talented person in a wine house, no matter which one you go to, you can enjoy a comfortable reception. The author's first experience of wine houses when he was a college student was in a chain of wine houses like the Legend of eight Swords.

Japanese Pan-Fried Meat Dumplings. The skin is thin and the meat is good enough.

the Legend of the eight Swords in Beijing is located near the east gate of the Workers' Stadium in Chaoyang District. It is difficult to find for the first time, the two-story building at the end of the Red Street in China. The first impression is the vitality of the clerk and the cleanliness and tidiness of the store. This atmosphere will continue until you order, enjoy, check out and go out with satisfaction. This is not only the characteristic of Beijing's eight Swords Biography, but also what it has in common with Japan's eight Sword biographies.

the selling point of the eight Swords is the "carbon barbecue" Japanese-style kebab, which costs about 6 yuan. A large picture is attached to the Chinese-Japanese bilingual menu, which is clear at a glance. Pork neck, chicken knee cartilage, chicken heart, homemade meatballs, chicken skin, "between heart and liver", okra and so on can all choose "salt" and "sauce". If you don't know how to choose, you can have a charcoal braised platter (40 yuan /8 strings).

Japanese fried tofu. The taste level is very stable, which is one of the reasons why the Legend of eight Swords is popular

this restaurant has a full range of dishes. I usually eat cold dishes such as plum sauce and radish salad (18 yuan) and fried chicken gizzards with orange vinegar (23 yuan). Then order kebabs, Yuzi roast, fried tofu, Japanese fried dumplings and other side dishes (fried dumplings in Japan), and finally some roasted rice balls (10 yuan) as the staple food. If you still feel that the meaning is not enough, you can also have Japanese sumo wrestling pot (38 yuan each), miso hot pot (38 yuan each), fat cow covered rice (35 yuan), and so on, which can be matched at will according to your own taste. There is no need for draft beer in beverage. girls can try green plum sparkling wine (30 yuan) and put a green plum, which tastes refreshing. Enjoy your meal!

the shop moves of Sanlitun's eight swords are much bigger than those in Japan.

sumo wrestling pot: Japanese hot pot for sumo wrestlers. Use more vegetables, add chicken or fish, and stew in a large pot. It is suitable for the wrestlers in the sumo room to share. There are many sumo rooms and restaurants serving sumo hot pot in the "two countries" area of Tokyo.

the family "family" ramen in Beijing

I don't have many opportunities to eat ramen in Japan, and occasionally accompany my father to the ramen restaurant. In Japan, ordinary soy sauce ramen costs about 700 yen (about 40 yuan). If I want to compare Japanese ramen with Chinese Lanzhou beef noodles with clear soup, I will definitely vote for the latter. The authentic Lanzhou ramen soup is delicious, fine and economical. Authentic Hand-Pulled Noodles with Beef, who can eat 12 yuan a bowl in Beijing, why look for Japanese ramen that are several times more expensive?

however, there are more and more Japanese ramen shops in Beijing, and many Japanese friends are also eager to comment. Here, I would like to sort out the information of the ramen noodle shop I have visited and introduce it to you.

the common "family" ramen shops in Beijing are "Jicun Family", "Invincible Family" and "Wu Shenjia". The ramen they offer are generally "Yokohama", characterized by thick noodles, pig bones when the soup is boiled, and a special seasoning made of soy sauce, sugar and miso (called braised noodles /Kaeshi), can be said to be "heavy". The so-called "pedigree" refers to the name of a common ramen shop in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, which is said to have originated from a ramen shop called Yoshimura Home in Yokohama. Later, some of the apprentices opened independent shops and some copied their own stores, and the inside story seemed to be a little complicated. In short, if you see white pig bone soup head, noodles on the thick side, ramen with seaweed and spinach topping, it can be identified as "Yokohama" ramen.

Yoshimura's "soy sauce ramen (pig bone soup)" (35 yuan). Typical Yokohama ramen.

another common type of Japanese ramen in Beijing is "Bodo ramen", which is also a strong pig bone soup, but uses fine noodles. Pig bone soup is usually served with fungus, bean sprouts, barbecued pork, braised eggs and so on, which can be served with red shredded ginger. In terms of taste, there is not much difference between "Bodo ramen" and "Yokohama".

I personally prefer light taste, if there is no Lanzhou ramen, Tokyo's "soy sauce ramen" may be the first choice. The soup base of "soy sauce ramen" is generally made of chicken bones, so it is relatively light and delicious. Unfortunately, I have never encountered my favorite soy sauce ramen in Beijing. I will continue to pay attention to it.

1) (Yoshimura ya): soup in Jicun is hot enough (very important! The soup in many stores is not hot enough), the noodles are strong, the food is served quickly, and the storefront is clean. A good one, recommended. You can choose the thickness of noodles, the thickness of soup, and so on. The boss is a young Chinese who has been in Yokohama for more than ten years.

Shop Information

Guangxi Store: 34-4 Guangximen Beili, Xiba River, Chaoyang District

Dawang Road Store: block A, Winterlai Center, 1 Xidawang Road, Chaoyang District.

2) the invincible (Muteki ya): store has the atmosphere of Japanese chain ramen shop and is full of vitality. I ordered a "light" soup, but I still thought it had a heavy taste. It seems that I am too used to Chinese ramen. A store that is well appraised by Japanese friends.

3) Hokkaido Ramen is popular in the noodle house with unlimited (Daimugen):. Miso-flavored soup with soft-boiled eggs, corn and other toppings, the taste is not far away from Japanese ramen. The boss born in northeastern Japan strongly recommends the "iron plate ox tongue" (cow tongue is a famous product of Sendai, Japan), but it tastes too hard, so I suggest you consider it carefully. This does not belong to the "Yokohama system", it is said that the best is "authentic Chinese ramen soy sauce flavor" (45 yuan), the taste should be relatively light, want to try next time.

unlimited "Hokkaido miso egg corn ramen" (70 yuan).

finally, I would like to remind you that most of the ramen restaurants in Beijing are "live wine houses" mode of operation, providing kebabs, sushi and other Japanese dishes, you can also order alcohol. According to my personal experience, it is better to eat kebabs or go to kebab restaurants and sushi restaurants. From the point of view of the level of cuisine, it may be more secure to have a good meal of ramen noodles in a ramen restaurant. Enjoy your meal!

"and Food House" is an orthodox Japanese food house of the common people, which is located in Sanyuanqiao Food Street. The facade decoration is relatively casual, but don't turn around and leave. This is a popular store where the shop is full at noon and the phone for takeout keeps ringing. What is a "ordering restaurant"? "(Teisyoku)" refers to the Japanese set meal, which is mainly composed of rice, main course and miso soup, usually accompanied by small bowls and a plate of pickles, while the restaurant that provides the order is called "Teisyoku-ya". "set food" is usually enjoyed at noon, but there are also "fixed food houses" that serve dinner and breakfast.

stir-fried beef tongue, add fried chicken nuggets. Today I'm going to be a meat girl!

there are nearly 20 kinds of food choices for "and stay". The most classic food is 30 yuan for ginger roast, 28 yuan for curry rice, and about 30 yuan for Japanese food in Didu. It is very rare to pay rice, miso soup, side dishes and salad in addition to the main course. Founder Li Daoxing highly recommends curry rice and fried chicken nuggets. It is said that half of the guests want curry rice. I haven't tried it yet, and I think all the other orders are good, but I'd like to try their curry next time.

large chicken nuggets are very powerful.

fried pork chops are covered with rice. (30 yuan)

the variety of bento is more abundant, nearly 60 kinds. The bento here is ready-made and sold, even if it is a delivery lunch, there is still a certain temperature when it is delivered to the guests. The delivery service is free of charge within three kilometers, and a meal can be ordered from scratch. Buy a bento and give it to Coca-Cola, Suntory Oolong tea or miso soup, and the extra amount of rice is free. Long-term customers of Hefei include nearby Japanese car companies and Japanese embassies.

Mr. Li was a student in Japan. He stayed in Japan for 10 years and learned restaurant management and cooking skills with his Osaka-born chef. The weight and taste of the main course, the quality of the rice, the freshness of the mini salad, and the Kumbus taste of the side dishes, every small detail is reminiscent of the reality and warmth of the aunty restaurant in Japanese cities. Enjoy your meal!

Buckwheat people

buckwheat people shop

Buckwheat people's shop is in Tokyo and has branches in Beijing and Shenzhen, China. The biggest difference from ordinary buckwheat shops in Japan is the size of the store, with an area of 700 square meters in Beijing. In Japan, buckwheat noodle shops are generally small. People come and go at noon and leave in a hurry after eating noodles. On the other hand, the atmosphere of the "buckwheat people" in Beijing is relatively relaxed, and Japanese wives with children can often be seen chatting at noon. Japanese enterprises often hold banquets and farewell parties here in the evening. The feeling here is private and harmonious, and the author often comes here to order a bowl of noodles to relax. Although the price is not cheap, instead of eating a bowl of fake Japanese noodles, it is better to pay twice as much for authentic noodles once in a while.

you can see a wealth of Japanese dishes in the menu: sushi, sashimi, tempura, grilled fish, eel. However, I suggest that we should be conservative and start from buckwheat for the first time.

the scene of hand-rolling soba noodles can be seen at the door.

the noodles of "buckwheat man" are rolled out by hand, the buckwheat flour used is home-made flour, and the "bonito festival" (dried bonito) for making Japanese-style stock is imported from Japan.Boil noodles in natural water. There are two kinds of soba noodles offered in the store: one is "farmland house buckwheat" (soba noodles with Inaka-Soba, country flavor), which is dark in color. The other is "more family buckwheat" (Sarashina-Soba), which is white in color. The latter has a high system of buckwheat flour, which can be regarded as a high-grade product. Whether it is the taste or the flavor of buckwheat, there is a big difference between "more buckwheat" and "field house buckwheat". I strongly recommend you to try "more buckwheat".

duck breast soba noodles (75 yuan)

soba noodles is also divided into cold noodles and soup noodles. The author often orders "duck breast buckwheat". Its noodles are cold noodles, but the accompanying soup is hot soup. Rich skipjack soup, with thick duck breast and green onions, use chopsticks to pick up a pinch of cold noodles and soak them in hot soup. The reason is that soba noodles in hot soup is usually soft, and this way of eating can not only retain the elasticity and taste of cold buckwheat, but also enjoy delicious hot soup, killing two birds with one stone!

put some "shichimi" according to your taste.

in Japan, there are also many people who drink sake in buckwheat noodle shops. Buckwheat Man has a rich wine list. You can ask the waiter for recommendation. Order a glass of pure rice wine or Yin wine, served with Japanese fish cakes or Yuzi barbecue. If you think it's not enough to eat soba noodles, you can come to the restaurant at noon to try a set meal. Classic Japanese meals such as ginger and fried chicken nuggets are available. If you pay 20 yuan more, you can upgrade miso soup to soba noodles. Enjoy your meal!

when we talk about Japanese food, we will think of sushi, tempura, personally cooked food, etc., but in fact, Japan's sweet food culture is also relatively developed, and the level of pastry chefs keeps high with the market demand.

Last year, Lyon, France, solemnly hosted the authoritative event "dessert World Cup (La Coupe du Monde de la P â tisserie" in the western world, and the Japanese team narrowly beat the host and got a good result in second place. (note: Japan won the championship in the competition in 1991 and 2007.) in recent years, more Japanese pastry teachers have won international awards, and the evaluation of Japanese West Point in Europe and the United States is not low.

the "Booth'sCake" introduced this time is a small shop run by Mr. Morita, a Japanese post-80s generation. Chinese television stations, magazines and famous people have all reported that many people may already know this shop.

Mr. Morita works as an apprentice in a cake shop in Osaka and plans to come to China for the first time with the opening of the shop in Shanghai. Mr. Morita, who majored in science and engineering, has a very solid grasp of West Point composition and chemical reactions, in addition to West Point production technology. This is one of the secrets of maintaining a high level of cake taste provided by Booth's Cake. In addition, Booth'sCake rejects additives and dairy materials are strictly imported from Europe. Coupled with Mr. Morita's Japanese-style rigorous production management, the "inner delicacy" of Japanese desserts is presented here.

Booth'sCake 's dessert tastes fresh and unbored, and the smooth cream melts in the mouth, which is best reflected in the "Booth Roll". The cake I recommend is as follows:

1) "Booth Roll" is a cake roll with large amounts of cream, and its smooth and tender taste is full of happiness. Booth's Cake is popular with No.1. 25 yuan per piece, 100 yuan per piece
