About this place
Fried scorpion, grilled bear skewers and fried horse mackerel could all share a table at Taneyoshi. The appeal lies in choosing between dishes that invite you to try something unusual and familiar izakaya favourites. One visitor described the fried scorpion as having a shellfish-like texture, easy to nibble as a snack, and said its dramatic appearance made an impression. For something out of the ordinary, the menu also lists cricket tsukudani and fried crocodile loin.
Another visitor praised the rich flavour and springy texture of the grilled bear skewers, finding them among the more approachable of the unusual dishes. You could start with one alongside a few classic snacks.
There is plenty to enjoy in dishes beyond the more adventurous options, too. One diner liked the combination of curry powder with natto tempura; another enjoyed the sesame and salted sauce with stir-fried beef offal. Both said the dishes went well with drinks, and either could make a welcome change of pace between more unusual bites.
A visitor who came for stingray liver sashimi enjoyed its light flavour and recalled that the stingray sashimi had a pleasantly firm texture. The intriguing names may catch your attention, but familiar choices such as sashimi and fried horse mackerel are on offer as well. Start with a dish that appeals, then decide what to try next from the plates around you.
The restaurant is described as suitable for solo dining and does not take reservations. Opening hours are 16:00–23:00 Tuesday to Friday and 15:30–23:00 on Saturday and Sunday. It is closed on Mondays.
