01 / ABOUT THE PLACE
About this place
One diner was so taken with the chicken white-liver mousse that they described the restaurant as “the place where I’ll eat liver pâté for the rest of my life”. Listed as an appetiser, it makes a memorable start to a meal built around wine. Endo Risaburo Shoten is an Oshiage wine bar where diners have also enjoyed wines chosen to complement their food.
You don’t need to know a lot about wine to enjoy a glass here: one diner said they asked for advice and chose a wine to suit their tastes. The appetiser menu ranges from ripe tomato caponata and Japanese sea bream carpaccio to jamón Ibérico, with options for a light bite or a more substantial start to the meal. For something heartier, there’s beef tendon ragù rigatoni or orecchiette with courgette and bottarga. Main dishes include sautéed chicken thigh, roast duck breast and grilled beef skirt steak with vegetables, making it easy to settle in for a meal centred on meat.
For dessert, choose from options such as a rich, firm pudding or blood orange sorbet. Whether you’re stopping in for wine and appetisers or sitting down for a full meal, the menu offers room to shape the occasion.
