About this place
Stepping past the noren curtain at Dashiya, the eye is drawn first to the flagship Japanese-Style Ultimate Twice-Cooked Pork Set Meal. A proprietary sauce built on deep Hatcho miso clings generously to fragrant, wok-tossed pork, cabbage, and bell peppers, delivering a mouth-filling wave of sweet-savory richness. That robust seasoning makes it an effortless partner for steamed white rice, balanced between bites by light soup and pickles to keep your chopsticks moving.
The house pork dish comes in several variations to match your mood. On days when you crave heat, the Japanese-Style Ultimate Twice-Cooked Pork <Red> Set Meal is a dependable pick: a dollop of slow-simmered house spicy miso can be folded gradually into the sauce, altering its character as you eat. For something even more indulgent, the "Ro" version piles on crunchy bean sprouts, pork back fat, and chopped garlic for massive presence. Diners can also tailor the intensity with extra toppings, whether softening the profile with a raw egg or dialing up the punch with spicy scallions or extra back fat.
The menu extends well beyond twice-cooked pork. The Guilty Pork Back Fat Fried Rice, laced with diced char siu and rendered pork fat, delivers an addictive blend of wok fragrance and rich savoriness. There is also a lineup of dim sum served fresh from the steamer or fryer: Steamed Juicy Xiaolongbao cooked over intense vapor in dedicated pots, Hand-Folded Pork Shumai packed with coarsely minced meat, and crispy spring rolls filled with sweet shrimp and aromatic green Sichuan pepper. Paired with small plates such as fresh coriander pressed tofu, these dishes make an easy accompaniment to a glass of Asahi Maruef draft beer or a highball for a casual evening drink.
Located toward the back of the 1th floor of a building near the Showa-dori Exit of Akihabara Station, the restaurant operates without an afternoon break from 11:00 to 22:00. Whether you want to drop in solo at midday for a hearty set meal or linger over small plates and drinks in the late afternoon, it stands as a reliable dining stop.
