About this place
Set meals by day, small plates and drinks by night: Hyakuren is an izakaya where the style of dining changes with the hour. The lunch menu lists the daily special à la carte for ¥680, or as a set meal for ¥880, with rice and miso soup for a more substantial meal. Diners have reported trying the daily set with spicy simmered pork, as well as one featuring chicken simmered in sesame miso. The main dish changes from day to day; alternatively, familiar choices include a fried horse mackerel set or a mixed-fried set meal.
There are other options beyond the set meals. One diner described a steak set served on a hot plate with Napolitan spaghetti and broccoli, accompanied by rice, miso soup and pickles. The restaurant lists steak at ¥1,230; Napolitan is noted as a weekday-only dish.
In the evening, try the “Signature Pork Plate” or small dishes such as aged cucumber pickles alongside a drink. One diner sitting alone at the counter ordered a sour, aged pickles and simmered pork. From a full lunch set to an evening drink with a few plates, the menu allows you to choose how much to eat and how to spend your time.
