Have you ever eaten lever fried?

   Speaking of Tsukishima, "Monjayaki" is famous, but lever fry (or meat fry in the past) is a food that was originally devised in Tsukishima and is loved only by residents of Tsukishima. In the era of food shortages after the war, as a cheap and nutritious food, cows and pig livers were sliced thinly, breadcrumbs were added, fried, and passed through a secret sauce. "Hisagoya Abe" was ranked 15th in the Tsukuda edition of "Ad Street Heaven" on TV Tokyo in July 2010, and 4th in the Tsukishima edition broadcast in January 2012 as lever fly. It's a reasonable price of less than 200 yen for take-out. About 10 years ago, there were 4 to 5 houses, but now there are only two houses, Hisagoya Abe and Take-out royal road. I would like to introduce these two shops.
