Tabelog ratingWashoku Goshiki (和食 ごしき) is an izakaya in Sangenjaya that has built a stellar reputation around one ingredient: high-quality maguro tuna. Sourced from the famed supplier Yama-yuki, the tuna is the star of a creative menu that showcases it in numerous forms. Guests can watch chefs work at the counter, adding a theatrical element to the meal.
Reviewers consistently praise the maguro dishes, whether it's simple sashimi, grilled skewers (kushiyaki), rich scraped-from-the-bone nakaochi, or extravagant rolls. Other highlights include a colourful eight-item obanzai plate of small seasonal dishes and the show-stopping finale of seasonal claypot rice (donabe gohan). The thoughtfully curated sake and wine list also receives frequent compliments. While most experiences are positive, a few diners have noted occasional slow service during peak hours or found some portions to be modest.
A typical dinner costs between ¥5,000 and ¥5,999 per person. Reviewers recently paid around ¥1,800 for the obanzai plate, ¥350 per tuna skewer, and ¥2,000 for the seasonal claypot rice. Set courses including drinks are often available for ¥7,000–¥8,000, though the bill can climb higher with premium sake. Most agree that for the quality of the ingredients, especially the tuna, Washoku Goshiki offers very good value.
