About this place
At Mikuniya, people come for the pairing of chewy ikayaki batter and squid with a satisfying bite. The casual menu ranges from a savoury snack to something sweet.
The ikayaki on the menu comes in portions of 1 pieces, with options including Ika Tamago, made with egg, and Vegetable Ika Tamago. Choose a simple piece or add egg or vegetables to suit your appetite. Diners who favour the egg version often remember the batter’s savoury aroma and chewy texture. Some also describe it as notably firm to bite, so expect a substantial chew rather than a particularly soft texture.
Many diners pair their meal with an ice monaka, and some say they especially enjoy having one after ikayaki. Soft Monaka is also on the menu, offering a choice between ice cream in a monaka wafer and a version with soft-serve. For more options, there are Ogura Cream, Ogura Soft and mitsumame-style sweets. The menu also lists combinations of soft-serve, ogura and mitsumame, so you can keep dessert light or make it a more substantial finish.
Drinks include chilled ame, listed as seasonal, as well as ramune, cider and oolong tea. Some diners have chosen chilled ame in hot weather; it can be enjoyed with ikayaki or as a refreshing drink after something sweet.
Both dine-in and takeaway are available, and the restaurant is described as suitable for solo dining. The listed payment method is cash only, so bring cash if you plan to stop by.
