Joe Tomei here with Funky places Friday. This place is hot off the press. There was a kebab shop on Densha dori, Doi Kebab that I went to a few times and liked, but because there was no parking, was a bit difficult. Then, it seemed to be shuttered. Walking downtown the other day, I noticed that it was now located by the Shiyakusho. Made the trip down, and it was closed, but the owner had moved the shop to Shimotori and renamed it and we were just in time for the reopening!
The new shop is called Cave and is next to the Core 21 pachinko parlor. I’m not sure if this is standard pricing or an opening special, but we had a pita kebab, soup and a drink for 500 yen.
Unfortunately, the kebabs were chicken, they don’t have that lambmeat kebab, but they do have the vertical rotisserie and a sauce range from mild yoghurt to omg that’s hot. It is also open until 2 am on Fridays and Saturdays and 1 am on weeknights, so if a post prandial ramen doesn’t cut it, you may want to try this.
