I tried a restaurant in the dining area of Oimachi Atore that seemed to serve Japanese food. It was a place that seemed like a mix between an izakaya and a teishoku restaurant. They had a variety of appetizers, but we opted for the teishoku set meals. We shared the Marinated Meat Trio Set for 1850 yen and the Marinated Fish Quartet Set for 2180 yen. The main dishes were grilled marinated meats and fish, so we wanted to try all the varieties. The meat included domestic beef and pork belly (marinated in Saikyo miso), and chicken (marinated in Kinzanji miso). The fish included cod, mackerel (marinated in Saikyo miso), salmon (marinated in Kinzanji miso), and Okhotsk atka mackerel (marinated in sake lees). Personally, I really enjoyed the cod marinated in Saikyo miso. It was tender and flavorful. All the fish were delicious, but the cod was the clear winner. The Okhotsk atka mackerel was a bit too tough on the surface. The marinated meats were also tender and had a rich flavor. I used to live in Oimachi for a few years, but I didn't know there was such a delicious place there. The location above Atore made it easy to visit even with kids, so I would love to come back when I'm in Oimachi again.

It wasn't the finishing touch. Unfortunately, the senior wasn't there. Looking forward to next time. By the way, I made a luxurious ochazuke with salmon marinated and grilled with homemade kanjyajira miso. It's dinner again. Because I have to take my medicine... (laughs) It's super delicious. Fish marinated in miso. Also, there's silver cod, hokke, as well as beef, pork, and chicken. Bring it on. (laughs) Thank you for the meal.

This restaurant specializes in grilled fish marinated in homemade miso and sake lees, served in a set meal with one soup and three side dishes. Located in Kyoto's Hachijo-guchi, Asty Road, the restaurant is known as Kurama and is situated on the 6th floor of the Atre shopping mall near JR Oimachi Station. The attentive and friendly service, along with the hot water and tea refills, made for a pleasant dining experience. The Kurama set meal (2,180 yen) features grilled silver cod and Spanish mackerel marinated in miso, salmon marinated in Kinzanji miso, and hokke marinated in sake lees. The fish were well-prepared and delicious, with each offering a unique flavor profile. The side dishes, including pickles, were also tasty. The option for unlimited rice and miso soup refills, along with the hot roasted green tea, made the meal even more enjoyable. Overall, a delightful dining experience at Kurama.

I visited this restaurant on my way home from work. It specializes in grilled fish set meals. In addition to set meals, they also have a few appetizers, so it might be a good place for a casual drink. On the day I visited, I had a salad with green onions, grilled squid with sake lees, grilled mentaiko, grilled yam, and finally a mixed grilled fish platter. It was elegant and delicious. The bill was a bit on the expensive side compared to my usual drinking spots.

On a cold rainy day, I visited a restaurant on the 6th floor of Atre Oimachi for lunch. I ordered my favorite dish, "Grilled Silver Cod with Saikyo Miso". After a 15 minute wait, the meal was served. Today, instead of miso soup, it came with "Sake Lees Soup". The soup had a nice sake aroma and warmed me up. The grilled cod was as delicious as always, and the freshly cooked rice was also very tasty. I enjoyed a satisfying lunch. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Second declaration of a state of emergency. For dinner on the first day of the three-day weekend, I entered this restaurant located on the 6th floor of Atre Oimachi, which is known for its pickled fish. They offer carefully selected fish varieties marinated in miso for two days. I enjoyed some pickled fish as an appetizer and had a solo drinking session with Kikumasamune "Nama-ippon" served warm. The silver cod with Saikyo miso and the salmon with Kinzanji miso were delicious. The unique miso aroma was enticing, and the crispy skin was superb. The simmered flounder had a rich and savory flavor that only a professional chef could achieve. The salmon ochazuke was a perfect way to finish the meal. Thank you for the feast.

On this weekend day, I went shopping for fresh food at Seijo Ishii in Oimachi, where they have a great selection. For lunch, I decided to try a restaurant on the 6th floor of the same station building. It is a Japanese restaurant operated by New Tokyo, known for their homemade pickled fish marinated in Saikyo miso, Kanazawa miso, and sake lees. Although there is a similar restaurant in Kyoto Station, the menu is completely different. When I visited around noon, the restaurant, with about 50 seats, was only about 20-30% full. I was seated at a table in the back after being guided by the staff. The interior lacked a Kyoto feel and instead had a casual atmosphere similar to a regular set meal or izakaya restaurant. On my way to the table, I noticed grilled pickled fish and Pacific saury lined up in the kitchen passageway, indicating that they finish cooking the pre-grilled items before serving. It was a bit disappointing to see this when the restaurant wasn't very busy. The lunch set menu included several types of pickled fish and miso-marinated meat combinations. I ordered the "Assorted Set Meal" with three types of pickled fish for 1600 yen. The three types of pickled fish on that day were salmon marinated in Kanazawa miso, blackthroat seaperch marinated in sake lees, and Okhotsk atka mackerel marinated in Saikyo miso. After waiting for about 7-8 minutes, the set meal arrived with the three pickled fish, salad, side dish, rice, pickles, and miso soup. The pickled fish were just right in terms of saltiness and sweetness, allowing the flavor of each fish to shine through. Among them, the salmon marinated in Kanazawa miso stood out the most. It was my first time trying pickled fish made with Kanazawa miso, and it had a great taste. The rice was also delicious, and overall, I was satisfied with the flavors. The only downside was the high price, but opting for the salmon marinated in Kanazawa miso as a standalone set meal for 980 yen might offer better value for money.

On this day, I participated in a walking program in Oimachi. After getting a health check and receiving a stamp, I went to a restaurant on the upper floor of Atre. It was in the evening, and the eateries in the station building were open continuously, which was convenient. I was in the mood for fish and fermented foods, so I decided on this restaurant. The atmosphere of the restaurant and the systematic service made me think it was a big chain, and it turns out it is operated by New Tokyo, which owns brands like Shoya and Munich. The grilled salmon and scallop set meal costs 1518 yen (excluding tax) and comes with two side dishes, miso soup, rice, and pickles. It features a seafood grilled with Kinzanji miso, giving off a nice aroma of slightly grilled miso along with the deliciousness of salmon and scallops. The scallops were small and there were only two with a bit of a letdown, but I guess it's reasonable for the price. At the payment, I asked, "Which is better, Suica or credit card?" and the staff gave me a helpful recommendation for credit card payment. As for the health check, my blood pressure was unexpectedly high this time, probably due to walking too much right before. It was a number I had never seen before, which surprised me. Despite that, my skin age check showed a result of -5 years, a dramatic improvement in the past year. I thought it was good for my age, and I am feeling great about it! Even acquaintances I haven't seen in a while are surprised. My goal for next year is to have a skin age of -10 years! In the end, I walked nearly 20,000 steps on this day.

Visited on a national holiday. Ordered a variety of pickles, grilled dishes, maguro yukke, grilled mushrooms, satsuma-age, and a little bit of sake. The sake arrived quickly, followed by the maguro yukke after 10 minutes, and then the grilled mushrooms after 20 minutes. The restaurant was quite empty, and the staff seemed disinterested, with one even using their smartphone in the kitchen. Overall, not a very attentive or motivated establishment.

This is a miso pickles shop. It seems like their specialty is fish marinated in sweet miso. Most people seem to eat it as a set meal, but I always just have a little to drink and a little to eat before heading home, so I haven't tried the set meal yet. It seems like it's a shop run by New Tokyo.

I went shopping in Oimachi and then had a quick dinner with my mother on the 6th floor of Atre Oimachi. I wanted to eat healthy Japanese food, so I chose a restaurant that seemed to have delicious fish kasuzuke among various restaurants. They offer lunch sets as well as dinner sets, and on this day, I had the dinner set. They had about 8 different options for miso-marinated meat and fish, including kasuzuke, and I was torn between them, but I chose the greedy set which included two types of fish and beef tongue - the Kurama three-item combination set. On this day, it included grilled salmon, grilled silver cod, and miso-grilled beef tongue. The combination set was a bit on the pricier side at 1980 yen. They also offer a la carte dishes, and I couldn't resist ordering the snap peas with miso sauce. The set meal allows for unlimited rice refills, but the initial portion is not too large, so it was just the right amount for women. The fish here is especially delicious, with the grilled silver cod being particularly tasty due to its rich flavor! The beef tongue was average. My mother ordered the three types of fish set meal, which was a bit more affordable, so I think I'll try that next time. The side dishes included dried radish, pickles, and whitebait with grated daikon radish, providing a well-balanced meal. It seems to be crowded during lunchtime, but on weekday nights, there aren't as many people, possibly because there are more drinkers in Oimachi. So, I think this restaurant is a hidden gem.

I stopped by a restaurant for lunch. I was in the mood for Japanese food, but I didn't want to go to a typical set meal restaurant. However, this place was good. You can have unlimited refills of rice and miso soup. The fish dish marinated in sake lees was delicious. The staff were kind and friendly.

Kanpachi meal for 1780 yen, Chicken Kinzanji miso pickled grilled meal for 1200 yen. The fish skin is crispy and delicious.

I was drawn to this floor because of the cheap price of sake, even though there were two other options available. I didn't compare them, and it wasn't necessarily bad, but I regret choosing a mediocre restaurant due to my frugality. I feel like I should reflect on whether I should have chosen a more expensive and delicious option, a cheaper but decent option, or just cooked at home. The menu had 8 types of sake, all priced at 480 yen per glass, which seemed like a clever tactic to attract customers like me. I ordered three dishes along with a glass of sake, but one dish was obviously not made with good ingredients, and another was too bland even for my taste. I didn't feel completely satisfied, but considering the total cost was just under 2500 yen, I guess I should be somewhat content.

Delicious and stable quality. The price is a bit high, but the miso pickles are tasty.

It is a refined taste miso pickles. Personally, I preferred meat over fish. Especially, the miso pickled pork was the most delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also nice.

On the way from Shinagawa to Aomi, I stopped in Oimachi for lunch and had a delicious set meal of silver cod with Saikyo miso. I love silver cod Saikyo-yaki! (￣▽￣)/

The fish is really delicious. It has a taste that makes you want to eat more rice, not in the sense of being too strong, but literally a "taste that makes you want to eat rice."

I visited the restaurant at night and ordered a set with alcohol and appetizers. The menu only described a dish with quail eggs and tofu, but when I ordered a different set, it came with miso-pickled fish as well. The waiter's explanation and attitude were poor, and I was disappointed despite the delicious food. I will not go back again. The waiter was an older man.
