土鍋ご飯いくしか渋谷

Ikushika Shibuya is a Japanese restaurant in the basement of Shibuya PARCO in Shibuya, Tokyo, where the star of the table is donabe rice (rice cooked in a clay pot), served glossy with each grain standing distinct. The rice comes in a wooden ohitsu container with free refills, and it is praised for releasing a natural sweetness the more you chew. The most popular dish is the kakuni set meal, featuring meltingly tender braised pork belly rich with soaked-in flavor, while the rare gyu-suki zen offers beef whose savory juiciness bursts in the mouth. Rice bowls such as una-tama, combining eel and egg, pair beautifully with the rice as well. Diners are delighted to find that the side dishes, the miso soup, and even the umeboshi (pickled plum) on the table all keep the chopsticks moving.
