POKOTABI / Kuroda
くろ田
Tucked away in Shinjuku's Araki-cho neighborhood, Kappo Kuroda serves multi-course fugu meals, custom sashimi platters, and seasonal Japanese dishes alongside sake in a calm, refined setting.
01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
Tucked down an atmospheric alleyway just off Sharyakumon-dori stands Japanese kappo restaurant Kuroda. Inside, an elegant, tranquil dining space offers a quiet retreat from the daily bustle, letting guests focus fully on their meal.
Kuroda’s signature fugu (blowfish) specialty can be enjoyed through a substantial multi-course menu, progressing from delicate nikogori (jellied broth) and deep-fried karaage to fugu-chiri hot pot. Concluding with a rich rice porridge (zosui) simmered in the flavorful dashi left behind by the hot pot, the menu brings out every nuance of the ingredients.
Savoring seasonal dishes tailored to daily market selections and storefront boards, leisurely paired with sake or beer, is another rewarding way to experience the restaurant. The à la carte selection highlights meticulous craftsmanship, ranging from customized sashimi assortments prepared to your taste to fragrant, crisply grilled yaki onigiri rice balls.
Operating on weekday evenings with limited seating, reserving ahead or checking availability before arriving is recommended.
