About this place
One of Yozakura Rocketto’s draws is that it offers both izakaya snacks and udon substantial enough to take centre stage. The meat-dipping udon costs 770 yen, and diners can choose a noodle portion from the regular 300 g to the extra-large 600 g. One diner who ordered 600 g described it as a filling dish, with the added pleasure of being able to choose the portion size. The extra-meat version costs 880 yen with 500 g of noodles, while the extra-meat kama-tama butter udon costs 940 yen for 500 g. If you’re after a generous meal, comparing the two makes for an appealing choice.
For a meal built around snacks and drinks, beef tendon stew is one option. One diner ordered it with a soft-boiled egg, while another visitor wrote about enjoying oden and dashi-wari, a drink mixed with broth. Whether you make the meal the focus or take your time over drinks and small plates, there are different ways to settle in.
The drinks menu includes sake as well as sours such as lemon and coriander-lemon. It’s an Ogikubo option to keep in mind if you’re looking for somewhere that can suit either a full meal or an evening drink.
