shizuku

For lunch at shizuku, the house-named shizuku-style green curry is an obvious contender. One diner wrote that it was only “a little spicy”, even for someone who does not enjoy much heat; another particularly liked the raw vegetables served with the set and their black sesame dressing. It may suit a relaxed lunch with vegetables rather than a craving for intense spice. Set meals change from day to day. Menu listings include cod and seasonal vegetables simmered in soy milk and miso, as well as an ethnic-style pot-au-feu with chicken meatballs and root vegetables, served with rice and salad.

The braised pork with a boiled egg is another tempting option. A diner who added it to lunch described the pork as pleasantly easy to eat and said the egg also stood out. It is listed as a standalone dish, too, making it an option to have alongside a set meal.

For dessert, one diner enjoyed Japanese chestnut cheesecake with Japanese chestnut ice cream. The menu also lists an affogato, with espresso poured over vanilla and caramel ice cream. It could suit a pause over coffee or make a sweet finish to a meal.

The restaurant is described as quiet and suitable for dining alone. Payment is cash only, so come prepared if you are stopping in for lunch or tea.
