About this place
The wall-posted menu at Hida features unpretentious, approachable fare ranging from grilled fish and sashimi to fried dishes and everyday drinking snacks. Located in the Hokima area of Adachi Ward, the eatery offers a warm, welcoming environment suited to everyday dining, with counter seating, tables, and tatami-floored zashiki seating. It accommodates solo diners having dinner just as easily as those dropping by for a casual drink after work.
The broad spread of small plates is an immediate draw. Seafood options include special mackerel sashimi, maguro ochikomi tuna trimmings, and kohada gizzard shad, while heartier cooked dishes span pork tatsuta-age, fried chicken, and pork with eggplant stir-fried in miso. Comforting small bowls such as seasoned simmered eggs, savory chawanmushi egg custard, and macaroni salad make it enjoyable to assemble an assortment alongside a draft beer, Hoppy, or chuhai.
When a fuller meal is called for, the selection of teishoku set meals and rice bowls delivers. Diners can choose classic sets such as fried horse mackerel, ginger-fried pork, and tuna sashimi, as well as a comforting oyakodon chicken-and-egg bowl known for its gentle seasoning. Open on weekday evenings, the restaurant accepts cash only, so planning payment in advance is recommended.
