About this place
Shijima’s lunch menu lists Japanese beef braised in red wine alongside three appetisers, seasonal vegetables and rice. The set centred on beef is an appealing choice if you’re after a substantial meal. One visitor’s lunch began with a frothy soup made with onion and ginger, pickles and small appetisers, followed by red wine-braised beef and gratin. The combinations seem to vary between visits, but the account gives a sense of a meal that moves from soup to main course, with a little of each along the way.
The menu describes the red wine-braised beef as served with seasonal vegetables. One visitor reported enjoying it as a main course accompanied by potatoes. Another lunch review recalled a spinach soufflé and inventive small appetisers. Whether you’re drawn by the main course or the chance to try a variety of dishes, the set’s composition is worth a look.
For after lunch, the options include anmitsu, coffee or tea. The menu lists anmitsu or coffee and tea as dessert choices. One diner ordered the homemade anmitsu and described spending time in the quiet, homely atmosphere. Another visitor enjoyed a dessert of matcha ice cream, sweet red bean paste and agar jelly to finish their lunch. If you’re in the mood for something sweet, anmitsu is one possibility.
The restaurant is described as quiet and suitable for solo dining, making it an option for a leisurely lunch. Dine-in service is available, and the listed choices include gratin and the soup of the day as well as lunch sets. Check the menu and offerings before your visit, as they may vary.
