Family

Family is an izakaya where you can choose from yakitori, grilled vegetables, small plates and rice dishes. Diners have mentioned enjoying charcoal-grilled dishes as well as mentaiko salad and chicken nanban, so it suits a meal built around chicken with a few extra plates to share. Chicken options include Matsusaka chicken yakiniku, served with a miso sauce that adapts Hatcho miso to Kansai tastes, and the addictive spicy yakitori, coated in a sweet-and-spicy sauce that grows hotter as you eat. For a taste of several kinds of yakitori, reviews of the negima and yagen skewers offer some guidance. One diner found the negima juicy, with a memorable sauce, and said the yagen was not dry.

Between meat dishes, add a grilled vegetable platter or choose onion, king oyster mushroom or shishito pepper individually. Other options include mentaiko daikon salad and chicken skin with ponzu, so there are small plates to start with while deciding on the main event. One diner particularly enjoyed the mentaiko daikon salad. Orders vary, but one pleasure here is filling the table with salads and small plates as well as chicken dishes.

For a final dish, consider the takana mixed rice, served in a 200g portion, ume chazuke or grilled rice balls. Drinks range from draft beer to chūhai, shochu, sake and wine, and all-you-can-drink plans are available. The restaurant is also presented as suitable for group meals, with listings for all-you-can-drink courses featuring assorted chicken, pork and beef. Check the current course details and dishes when you visit, and choose according to your group size and appetite.
