About this place
Some diners have ordered the curry hot pot for one and found themselves full after finishing with rice porridge. Chanko Mishima suits both a meal shared around a hot pot and an evening when you would rather eat at your own pace.
The hot pot selection ranges from familiar options to more unusual flavours. First-timers might choose the chicken-stock hot pot, while curry hot pot offers a change of pace. One diner described the chicken-stock broth as gentle and comforting. Reports on the curry hot pot include a solo diner enjoying it through to the finishing course, as well as a meal paired with draft beer and udon, making it a hearty option for dinner.
Some diners particularly enjoy the chicken tsukune, and one suggested adding sardine tsukune after the chicken dumplings to change the character of the broth. For those who like to add ingredients as they eat, the tsukune hot pot and extra sardine tsukune are worth considering. The menu also points to the tsukune hot pot as an option for people who find meat difficult to eat.
Motsu hot pot is another choice. The menu lists beef offal with garlic chives and cabbage. One diner who ordered it first tasted the broth, then enjoyed the offal's springy, gelatinous texture. It offers a different combination of ingredients from chanko hot pot.
A regular diner recommends ending the meal with egg rice porridge made with barley rice; the menu lists it at 405 yen. Champon noodles and udon are also available, so you can choose a finishing course to suit the hot pot.
For a dish before the hot pot, one diner recommends satsuma-age, a fried fish cake. Another enjoyed its crisp exterior and soft interior. The menu also includes fried soybeans, a meat-free side dish to add to the meal.
The drinks list includes draft beer, sake and shochu, along with non-alcoholic beer and juices. For dinner over a hot pot in Hakozaki, you could decide on the pot and its finishing course first, then choose a drink to go with them.
