On a weekend with continued intense heat, five middle-aged men gathered for a refreshing drink. The popular "Torimero" had temporarily lowered the price of draft beer to 300 yen, but now it's back to 199 yen! A savior for the common people who are feeling the pinch of rising prices. We enjoyed the free-flowing cabbage appetizer while toasting with 199 yen (excluding tax) draft beer. There's also an all-you-can-drink option for 1,800 yen, but if you only drink draft beer, you'd have to drink 10 to break even. Since we couldn't drink that much, we opted for individual orders. We quickly ordered the crispy shrimp rice crackers and smoked quail eggs. These shrimp rice crackers are really delicious. We also ordered the specialty skewers and assorted grilled chicken. When we saw that they had eel skewers for 380 yen, we knew we had to get two for our refreshing gathering. Excluding myself, who isn't a fan of seafood, the four of us shared the eel skewers. It's a common practice among us common folk to share like this. It was a satisfying meal. In the end, I had seven glasses of draft beer alone. Indulging in eel as well, I ended up spending 3,015 yen! Truly a heavenly experience. We'll definitely be back!

I had a shareholder benefit voucher from Watami Group, so I visited Torimero. It was Sunday night and the restaurant was packed with lots of customers, very lively! The prices are cheap and they have a wide variety of menu options. It reminded me of the old days when I used to drink at Watami often. It would be even better if the shareholder benefit could be used all at once instead of just one per person per day.

The location is very close to the station. There are a lot of young people, mostly in their 20s, as customers. Many customers come in groups of both men and women. The prices are cheap, so maybe that's why there are so many young people. We opted for the 2-hour all-you-can-drink option for 1800 yen per person. The atmosphere of the restaurant is lively like an izakaya, so it may not be suitable for a quiet drink, but it's great for having a fun time with friends. It's a typical affordable chain izakaya. Even after our 2-hour all-you-can-drink ended, we continued to order drinks with additional charges, so in the end, we had a great time. We ordered a lot of food, including yakitori, but forgot to take pictures.

I stopped by early in the evening and decided to go in because it was open. There weren't many customers yet. I ordered a few types of yakitori and some drinks for a light meal. The tablet making periodic noises was a bit annoying, interrupting our conversation. The yakitori was priced reasonably, maybe because it's in Tokyo? It didn't feel cheap and both the salt and sauce were delicious. I ordered a large drink for good value, and the lemon sour had just the right amount of acidity and was tasty. The lower alcohol content suited my taste. As it got busier, the atmosphere in the restaurant became lively.

Having lunch at Kinshicho Station (^O^). Since the state of emergency was declared, the number of people has been decreasing. At the south exit of Kinshicho Station, there's a lunch place at the entrance of the San-daime Torimero building. The restaurant is on the third floor of the building, with a fairly spacious interior, but there are no customers, only three staff members. I ordered the grilled mackerel set meal for ¥780, with a cup of oolong tea. The food was okay. I stayed for about 20 minutes, but there were no other customers, so it must be tough for them with no labor costs.

I'm sorry I couldn't take photos this time. After a live performance by a Korean idol, I wanted to have a party to say "good job" and searched for a restaurant in Kinshicho. I was considering another chicken restaurant, but then I found Sandaimoku Tori Melo. The variety of dishes, including chicken menu items, was very appealing! The skewers, grilled chicken, tsukune, and even the rolled omelette were all delicious! The only thing that concerned me was that the liver dishes were red and seemed raw. I didn't order them, but my mother enjoyed them, while my sister, who couldn't handle it, didn't eat them. But that's about it! Everything else was simply delicious, the alcohol was served promptly, and the atmosphere of the staff was great! When I feel lazy to choose a restaurant and just want to have a casual drink, I would like to look for Tori Melo next time!

I used the beer and highball for ¥190. The classic appetizer menu items like "Edamame ¥180," "Cucumber Pickles ¥280," and "Quail Smoked ¥289" are at a good value price, and the taste is delicious as expected. It's a perfect place for a quick drink with tasty snacks.

After work, I went to a long-awaited colleague drinking party that happened to be available. I drank 7 mega jugs and my memory is a bit fuzzy. Since I hadn't eaten anything, I thought I would eat ramen, and sure enough, I did.

We visited for the first time on May 2, 2019 (Thursday) with four people. The seating distance was narrow, so the inside of the restaurant is not spacious, but rather small. When we ordered chicken skin skewers and negima skewers, we were not asked if we wanted them with sauce or salt, and they were all served with salt. I will make sure to confirm this on our next visit. (0.3)

I knew the name and decided to visit Tori Melo. The beer was cheap at 199 yen! It's truly a popular izakaya. The interior of the restaurant was also very clean. The yakitori, which I believe was chilled rather than frozen, was probably better than the frozen yakitori at O-Kizoku. The tsukune was also delicious. Overall, in terms of cost and food quality, I think it's a satisfying chain restaurant to go to after work.

I went in with my friends. It had a casual pub atmosphere, but the interior was quite clean. As expected from a major chain (I think it was part of the Watami group...?), the food was delicious. The staff were polite and the pricing was reasonable. It was a comfortable and easy-to-use restaurant.

Casual drinking spot.

I ate in a cramped place that seems to be a smoking area in the future.

We had a great time chatting with everyone in a private room. The staff were wonderful and even left a cute message on the receipt at the end. Thank you for the delicious meal!

The staff were very accommodating and I would like to visit again.

The last time we had the kimchi hot pot course, this time we had the mentaiko motsu hot pot course. It was a great value for money and definitely worth visiting again. The staff's service was also excellent.

Tonight, I went drinking in Kinshicho and discovered that Torimero has opened in Kinshicho too! I immediately visited Torimero. The best thing about Torimero is the cheap price of draft beer! Draft beer for only 199 yen!! If you want to drink draft beer at a low price, this is the place to go! Total: 10,129 yen. Tonight, I indulged in plenty of draft beer again. Thank you for the meal.

Yesterday, I made a reservation for 4 golf buddies and ordered the course. The tuna that came with it was delicious, the hot pot was also tasty, and I appreciate the prompt service from the staff in taking our orders.
