About this place
Opening the menu at Horikago reveals an uncommon degree of flexibility: sashimi can be ordered slice by slice. The board features selections such as Nagasaki-sourced blackthroat seaperch, longtooth grouper, and yellowtail, letting you tailor a personalized assortment to your appetite. Fresh seafood options run deep, from Japanese flying squid and whelk to sea squirt, often likened to the pineapple of the sea.
Beyond raw fish, the side dishes show unassuming culinary care. Small plates like scallop and crab chawanmushi, Horikago-style mini omurice, and boneless pig's trotter serve nicely as palate cleansers or a concluding bite. Alongside draft beer and highballs, the drink lineup features distinctive sours, including shiso-flavoured baisu sour, clear tomato sour, and an aojiru green-juice high.
Operating from late afternoon until the early hours, the tavern maintains a relaxed atmosphere well-suited to solo diners. Seat reservations are accepted, and payment is cash only.
