01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
At Tatsumi (たつみ) in Higashikoiwa, the appeal of the daily teishoku set meal lies in choosing any two dishes to build a plate tailored to your taste. The roster features plenty of substantial meat options, including richly seasoned ginger pork that calls for plenty of rice, plump chicken teriyaki, and fragrant sautéed chicken. When you want something lighter, options such as chilled sliced pork, cold tofu, and fermented soybeans (natto) make it easy to balance the plate according to your mood that day.
The lunchtime hamburg steak is another highlight, pairing a coarse-ground, meaty texture with your choice of sauce—demiglace, grated daikon radish, steak sauce, yakiniku sauce, or Tatsumi's original house blend. Lunch orders include rice, miso soup, and a drink, and the generous portions of rice make it a dependable stop when arriving with an appetite.
The kitchen supports everyday dining well beyond midday, serving evening set meals, takeout bento boxes that come with curry, and even individual single-diner portions of sukiyaki and shabu-shabu.
