I didn't come to fill up my stamp card, but it was my second visit. It was late on a holiday, so there were only a few customers. I came to eat the steak I had pre-purchased last time. I had Hitoroki and Matsumoto (Shuhari) for drinks. Hitoroki was as expected, and Matsumoto was also good with a strong gas and fruity taste. For the meal, I had teppanyaki steak made from Murata beef. Murata is not a place but the name of the person who raises Kobe beef. The meat had a nice texture with just the right amount of marbling, and it was delicious. Unfortunately, the other side dishes were light again with dishes like Wakatake simmered bamboo shoots and udo with vinegar miso. I would like to try their hearty teppanyaki dishes next time.

This is an izakaya mainly focused on Japanese sake. It used to be a wine and meat restaurant before, but now it has been transformed into a place that mainly serves Japanese sake, almost like a takeover. It seems to be a chain, but there are surprisingly few places in the area where you can enjoy various types of Japanese sake (compared to the size of drinking and dining areas like Tachikawa), so I have been wanting to visit it. The late opening hours are also a big plus. As mentioned in other reviews, they have a point card system where you can collect points by ordering drinks and eventually receive a gift. Personally, I prefer to drink my favorite type of sake, so I'm not very interested in completing the card, but having a list makes me want to try different things (laughs). The sake they offer includes Kazenomori Junmai, Kuraku, Suigei Nakadori Junmai, and Mimuro Sugi, all served in small glasses of about three shaku, so in terms of quantity, it doesn't feel very cheap. This is similar to places in the north exit like "Shofuku Soba Namiki-an" or "KATSUO". However, for older customers who quickly become happy after drinking a full glass, this is quite convenient. Additionally, while popular sakes like Tatenokawa, Tairiku, Shinsei, and Sharaku (including the next line-up) can be found in various places, it was nice to see sakes from Hyogo like Kuraku and Ryuryoku that are not often seen (it's interesting that these are labeled as "local sake" on the menu). The food includes avocado pickles, hotaruika and vegetable tempura (edamame, zucchini, bitter melon, and potato), and seared sake lees chashu. They are all delicious, and the single-serving size was also appreciated. The avocado pickles were particularly good. Well, avocados are soft even when raw, though... I visited after a light meal this time, but I heard that dishes like teppanyaki and gyoza, which are substantial appetizers, are also recommended, so I would like to try a variety of dishes when I visit on an empty stomach next time.

Last night, shocking news. What, Go To Eat is already over!? Oh no, that's not good Σ(＞Д＜) So, I had some errands to run in Tachikawa on this day. I made a reservation the day before on ○tto Pepper and visited the restaurant for the first time at the opening time of 5 p.m. Located next to Ichiran at the South Exit, I climbed the stairs and entered the restaurant. I was seated at the counter at the end as requested. Appetizer: 300 yen (excluding tax) - Spring rolls with sesame oil drizzle. It had kimchi, cucumber, ham, etc. It was average. Happy Hour special: Super Dry beer for 190 yen instead of 250 yen. This restaurant has a Happy Hour every day until 7 p.m., with all eligible items priced at 190 yen. And they serve it in a proper glass. It's a great deal. Medium-fatty tuna, large: 650 yen - A generous portion of just tuna! It had a good color and you could taste the flavor. The green onions were a bit dry, but overall, it was a hit. Chicken and cabbage, sometimes lemon: 580 yen - I chose this from the sizzling plate menu. The name was so funny that I couldn't resist. When it arrived, it had a lemon slice in the middle. I thought it would be refreshing, but it was a savory chicken and cabbage dish. The lemon flavor was not very noticeable, so I tried squeezing it on, but it didn't add much. Nevertheless, it was delicious. Freshly squeezed lemon sour: 190 yen during Happy Hour. The alcohol taste was mild, but you could taste the lemon, so it was quite tasty. Recommended limited edition sake: Kuro Ryu Junmai Ginjo 38, 90ml for 680 yen - Very easy to drink! It was sweet and smooth. The menu had 40 types of sake starting from 380 yen, and there were also limited edition sakes. A great place for sake lovers! The restaurant started off empty, but by around 6 p.m., it started filling up. The counter was almost full, and tables were mainly occupied by reserved customers. With Happy Hour and a variety of menu options, it's no wonder this place is popular. The staff consisted of the owner and a part-time employee who could only pour beer. Later, a proactive waitress joined them. Overall, located near Minami-guchi Station on the second floor of the Ichiran building, this restaurant offers a good selection of sake, especially for those who enjoy teppanyaki dishes. The Happy Hour deal is a bonus. I received a "Sake Stamp Collection" and will definitely revisit. Thank you for the meal! (^o^ゞ

Let's enjoy Go To Eats and support local restaurants! I make full use of Go To Eats, starting with checking Tabelog and Hot Pepper. I want to try out restaurants that I normally wouldn't go to, especially those that are child-friendly. I recently visited a Belgian beer specialty store called La Croix, where I felt safe dining with my family in a private room. We enjoyed dishes like fried potatoes, omurice salad, chicken karaage, Kobe specialty sobameshi, tuna corn butter, pork takoyaki, and more. The restaurant also had a wide selection of Belgian beer glasses and Japanese sake. The prices were reasonable, and the food was enjoyable. It's a great place for casual dining or a relaxed drinking session. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I recommend it for those who enjoy Japanese sake and a cozy atmosphere.

Date: Tuesday, around 7:00 PM Reservation: Not needed Wait time: None Number of people: 1 Seating: Counter Frequency: Second visit in 10 days Food Menu - Domestic beef tendon simmered: ¥380 - Omurice potato salad: ¥480 - Pork belly and tomato Japanese-style cheese bake: ¥780 - Appetizer: ¥300 Drink Menu - Highball (Happy Hour): ¥190 - Saku Masano Tomo Junmai Ginjo: ¥780 - Hakuraku Hoshi Special Junmai: ¥380 - Ryosen Junmai Ginjo: ¥480 This izakaya is located near Tachikawa Station South Exit. It's my second visit in 10 days, with the goal of filling up my sake stamp card. I ended up ordering a highball for Happy Hour because it was hot. The appetizer was macaroni salad, which I forgot to take a picture of. I love macaroni salad, so I was happy. I then looked at the sake menu to fill up my stamp card, but the staff recommended a limited edition sake, so I ordered the Saku. It was sweet and refreshing, like Ramune. It was delicious. For food, I first ordered the domestic beef tendon simmered. It was hot and flavorful with a hint of ginger. It also had thick fried tofu, which was a good deal. Next, I ordered the omurice potato salad. It had a fluffy omelette on top of the potato salad with a peppery flavor. Finally, I ordered the pork belly and tomato Japanese-style cheese bake because I wanted to try a teppanyaki dish. The pork belly, tomato, and cheese were heated separately and then the cheese was melted on top of the pork belly and tomato in front of me. The meat was juicy and delicious. I paired it with the rich Ryosen sake. It had a wine-like taste and aroma, with a golden color. Progress so far: 6/40 stamps. Still a long way to go...

Date and time: Saturday around 6:00 PM Reservation: Not required Waiting time: None Number of people: 1 Seating: Counter Frequency: First visit Food menu - Spicy stick chicken: ¥380 - Summer vegetable appetizer: ¥380 - Conger eel tempura: ¥680 - Okonomiyaki with pork and octopus: ¥800 - Topping: Beef tendon: ¥200 - Appetizer: ¥300 Drink menu - Draft beer (Happy Hour): ¥190 - Kazenomori Junmai sake: ¥380 - Tanaka Rokugo Special Junmai sake: ¥480 - Kudoki Jozu Junmai Daiginjo sake: ¥580 - Shikaoi Special Junmai sake: ¥480 This was my first visit to an izakaya in Tachikawa known for its wide selection of sake. There are several affiliated stores in Tokyo. When I entered, there were 2 groups of customers before me and 5 groups after me, and I was the last one there until the end. The restaurant offers a happy hour until 7:00 PM with discounted beer and other drinks (excluding sake). I decided to start with a beer, which was served with macaroni salad as an appetizer. I ordered the spicy stick chicken to go with the beer, which had a fairly spicy seasoning. I then switched to sake and chose Kazenomori to enjoy the effervescence. It was a pleasant surprise to find Kazenomori available in the Tachikawa-Hachioji area. When you order sake, you receive a stamp card. The card allows you to collect stamps for each of the 40 types of sake available, and once you collect enough stamps, you can receive a one-liter bottle as a gift. This is a great incentive for sake enthusiasts and collectors. I quickly ordered Tanaka Rokugo and enjoyed its smooth taste. For snacks, I had the summer vegetable appetizer, which paired well with the sake. I then ordered the conger eel tempura, which was tender and delicious. I continued with Kudoki Jozu sake, which had a complex sweetness that was very enjoyable. By this point, the restaurant was almost full, and I observed the staff managing the busy operation. They handled it well and apologized for not being able to interact much due to the rush. Lastly, I ordered Shikaoi sake and the okonomiyaki with beef tendon topping. The okonomiyaki was flavorful and satisfying. I didn't expect to pair okonomiyaki with Shikaoi, but it turned out to be a great combination. I look forward to returning soon to complete the stamp rally.

Located near WINS in Tachikawa, this izakaya specializes in teppanyaki dishes with a variety of small plates. On this day, we enjoyed a selection of dishes with a focus on Japanese sake. We tried premium brands like Shirakiku, Kazenomori, Jikomi, and Noshata sake in the 400-500 yen range. The dishes we ordered included: - Homemade plum crystal with chicken cartilage - Creamy omelette potato salad - Butter-flavored steamed clams - Flavored radish - Crispy cheese - Corn butter - Grated yam with ponzu sauce - Kobe miso sauce dumplings The creamy omelette potato salad was a standout, with a velvety omelette served on top of potato salad. The contrast of temperatures and the creamy omelette were delicious. The crispy cheese had a cheese cracker-like texture and was perfect with the Tabasco sauce provided. The flavored radish and grilled grated yam were also tasty and paired well with the Japanese sake. The food and drinks were surprisingly affordable. I would love to try their substantial flour dishes next time. Thank you for the delicious meal!

All the dishes are delicious (they would be even better with a little less salt). They have a wide variety of drinks! The prices are cheap and very much appreciated!

Today I used the all-you-can-drink option. However, they have a variety of sake, so I want to visit again and enjoy it slowly next time.

There is a wide variety of sake available! The stamp card is also a nice touch! The food was delicious too.

I went with a friend who loves sake. Teppanyaki might not be the best match for sake, but the clams were delicious, we ordered them twice.
