About this place
After sharing a pot of miso motsunabe, the choice is whether to finish with champon noodles or rice. At Aoi, you can shape the meal to your own taste right to the last bite. Diners’ comments mention springy small intestine, crisp cabbage and a miso broth that is not too heavy. Some have ordered extra noodles; others have savoured the broth to the end. The ways to enjoy the last of the hot pot are part of the choice.
The hot pot is listed in miso and mizutaki styles. Miso is the one most often mentioned in diner feedback, though mizutaki is also on the menu. Before the hot pot, you could order individual dishes such as horse sashimi (premium lean cut), raw senmai or vinegared motsu. Diners who had the miso hot pot also singled out senmai sashimi and grilled beef heart skewers, which may help when choosing a dish to enjoy while you wait.
The menu also includes grilled offal on a hot plate, grilled sagari (skirt steak) and a simmered offal hamburger steak. Diners have praised the offal hamburger steak and shumai, too, making these options worth considering if you want another meat dish alongside the hot pot. Drinks include beer, shochu and sake, and set courses with all-you-can-drink options are also listed. The menu gives both a small group sharing a hot pot and a larger group ordering several dishes room to choose how to dine.
