About this place
Browse the menu, and alongside comforting izakaya staples like rolled dashi omelettes and karaage, unusual choices like softshell turtle, moray eel, and venison catch the eye. Located in Yokooji, Fushimi Ward, Chotto Izakaya Hitocchan offers an intriguing spread that ranges from casual evening drinks to substantive hot pots.
The seafood is also well-regarded. Daily sashimi specials showcase fresh catches, occasionally including striped mullet, with diners noting the natural sweetness of the seasonal fish. Grilled selections include fragrant moray eel and deeply flavourful venison, while single-serving hot pots featuring softshell turtle or moray eel stand out as house specialities. To finish, you can add rice porridge or udon noodles to savour every drop of the broth.
Quick bites like spicy scallop changja and edamame, crisp sweetcorn tempura, and assorted skewers make for satisfying accompaniments to a drink. The beverage lineup is equally varied, covering draft and bottled beer, shochu, dry and sweet sake, highballs, and mini bottles of wine.
The pub is closed on Sundays and open from Monday to Saturday from 18:00 to 23:00, with advance reservations accepted. Whether lingering over shared small plates in a relaxed setting or gathering with a group of friends around a special hot pot, it makes a dependable choice for an evening out.
