It's been a while since I last visited Izakaya Shogun last autumn. It seems like they have slightly reduced their portion sizes, maybe due to the influence of the coronavirus pandemic. However, the food is still delicious as always. The place was reserved for early customers, and regular business probably starts from 6 pm. We made a reservation and arrived at 5 pm. When dining out, I usually order dishes that I can't make or eat at home. Today, we ordered dishes like salt-flavored ankake yakisoba and fried foods (which I don't make at home). The salt-flavored ankake yakisoba here is my favorite, so I usually order it. It's full of ingredients and served piping hot, which makes it delicious. Today, we also had beef tongue and anglerfish tempura, which were flavorful and tasty. Thank you for the meal!

I went to the local popular izakaya "Shogun". On this day, they only accepted reservations and the restaurant was full. Reservation is a must (I'm glad I made a reservation). They had a variety of menu items such as sushi, rolls, fried foods, Chinese dishes, skewers, noodles, etc. The shrimp was plump, sweet, and delicious. Every dish was really delicious and went well with alcohol. It was a bit crowded and busy, so there were a few order mistakes, which was disappointing. However, all the staff were friendly.

Hokkaido Wandering Trip 54 Rumoi City "When it comes to izakaya in Rumoi, it's Shogun!" When you enter the alley in the center where everyone says on Google reviews, there is a big store. We were the first customers to open the store. We were guided to the counter seats. It's a clean and spacious place. We ordered draft beer, pickled herring, grilled octopus, ramen, salad, beef steak, and lamb highball - all dishes were delicious. It's a big store, but it was almost full within 30 minutes of opening! As the reviews say, it's the representative restaurant of Rumoi City.

I used it for dinner in Rumoi. The menu was abundant, reasonably priced, and there were also unique items, so I was very satisfied. There were plenty of seats, but they quickly filled up. I think it's a popular place among locals. I would love to go there again.

I made a reservation by phone for 6:00 PM and arrived around 5:50 PM. It was still early but there were already 4 or 5 other groups of customers. The food was delicious and served quickly after ordering. My friend and I ended up drinking a bottle of wine and a bottle of shochu.

【Wide variety of menu】It's my first visit. There are so many dishes I want to try for my first night in Rumoi that I'll need to come back at least 10 more times to try them all (lol). There are so many dishes I want to try, and they are especially cheap, especially the local sake. It's a great deal for those who love Japanese sake. This time, I had "Assorted sashimi," "Grilled scallops," "Whale bacon," "Monkfish liver tempura," "Jyo sushi," and "Grilled saury." For drinks, I had "Cassis orange," "Draft beer," and "Dassai." The total bill was a little over 6000 yen. Thank you for the meal! Now, I need to start planning my next visit (lol).

It is located about a 10-minute walk from JR Rumoi Station. It is an izakaya in the bustling area of Rumoi. When I entered, it was full of customers, but luckily I found a seat. Since it's an izakaya, I ordered some small dishes. I also ordered the recommended "premium sushi," which consisted of 10 pieces including ikura, sea urchin, salmon, shrimp, scallop, crab, and tuna. The uni had a delightful chewy texture, while the sea urchin was crunchy and provided a pleasant mouthfeel. The rice was just the right size, leaving me satisfied. The "premium sushi" cost 1,900 yen. Lastly, I had the "zaru soba" to finish off the meal.

For a birthday celebration within our group, we visited "Izakaya Shogun" in Kincho, Rumoi City. Despite it being a Monday, the spacious restaurant was bustling with customers and full of energy. We were led to a private room and were amazed by the extensive menu. We started by ordering a draft beer and then proceeded to order various dishes such as Shogun platter, homemade pickled mackerel, steamed clams in sake, thick grilled egg with cod roe, beef tendon and tofu simmered dish, skewered beef tongue, ankake yakisoba, whale bacon, skewers, fried hormone chicken, and fried tofu. We enjoyed these dishes along with drinks like additional draft beer, highball, Dewar's highball, chilled sake, and finished with matcha zenzai and white rice cake porridge. Every dish we tried was delicious, especially the sashimi which was fresh and the Shogun platter which included shrimp, tuna, scallops, squid, yellowtail, salmon, sea urchin, and octopus. The homemade pickled mackerel was also flavorful with a nice amount of fat. The steamed clams in sake and thick grilled egg with cod roe were highlights as well. With such a wide and affordable menu, I would definitely become a regular customer if this restaurant were nearby. It's no wonder this place is always busy.

A place that my family has always frequented. We visited after a long time. Although it is usually bustling with banquets, it seems that smaller groups are more common now due to the current situation. Fried dishes are popular here. The large fried chicken, which has remained unchanged for years, is a favorite. The onions are also quite large and satisfying to eat. They also accept cashless payments like PayPay.

I stayed in Rumoi City a while ago and visited this restaurant. Tonight, I stayed at the hotel right in front of the restaurant, so I decided to visit after a long time. The exterior of the restaurant seems to have become more luxurious. When I came before, it was snowing so I couldn't see the restaurant (laughs). My colleague and I were guided to a private room and ordered a variety of dishes from sushi to yakisoba. They offer a wide range of dishes, making this restaurant popular in Rumoi City. Tonight, we had grilled surf clam, assorted sashimi, mackerel pressed sushi, and yakisoba with sauce. Of course, I couldn't miss out on drinking the Onigoroshi sake from Numakai Sake Brewery! It was delicious. The food is just average though (^^;) I think it's great that they offer a wide range of dishes to please the locals, tourists, and businessmen. Thank you for the meal.

When you think of an izakaya in Rumoi, the first place that comes to mind is Shogun. I visited after 20 years, with a group of 4. The details are a bit fuzzy, but here's what we had: - Thick omelette with mentaiko - Ankake yakisoba - Octopus karaage - Chicken karaage - Shogun salad - Tuna bowl - Okhotsk atka mackerel - Draft beer - Highball - One bottle of iichiko shochu The ankake yakisoba was hot and had a good salty flavor. It went well with the beer. The thick omelette with mentaiko was delicious, with the saltiness of the mentaiko wrapped in the egg. The octopus karaage was tender and tasty, and paired nicely with the shochu. One of our group, who doesn't drink, dug into the tuna bowl and finished it in no time. We all ended up feeling a bit tipsy and our bellies full. Thank you for the delicious meal.

On the night of the 25th, I stayed in Rumoi. For dinner, I went to Izakaya Shogun, which I hadn't visited in about 2 and a half years. The menu included dishes such as oyster fry, hokke liver skewers, pork skewers, chicken skewers, salad, and of course, ramen. I enjoyed beer, sake, and oolong high as drinks. I went straight back to the hotel and went to bed early since I had plans for the next day. It was a satisfying meal.

Last night, I stayed in Rumoi and went to a izakaya called Shogun. Even though it was a Wednesday, the place was quite busy. We had delicious mackerel box sushi, a 6-piece sashimi platter, grilled Atka mackerel, ramen salad, fried small shrimp, curry-flavored fried squid, and fried potatoes. After the izakaya, we went to a snack bar called World One. The owner, who is the same age as me, looked young and beautiful.

I ordered the medium spicy wasabi tuna roll, but it was a bit of a gamble as some pieces were really spicy and made me tear up. It was like playing Russian roulette with spiciness! The fried chicken cartilage was cooked perfectly, crispy and delicious. The chu-hai was a bit weak on alcohol content. Even though it was late, the staff served us with smiles and excellent customer service.

Stayed in Rumoi with my wife for a hot spring tour and stayed at a nearby inn. We went to the closest izakaya called "Shogun". The restaurant was quite busy, probably because it was a Saturday. We tried various dishes besides the ones in the photo, and they were all delicious. I would definitely want to visit this place again when staying in Rumoi.

You can always enjoy nostalgic ingredients from Hokkaido. The sushi is cheap and delicious. Being close to the source, the ingredients are also good quality, making it the best.

Great service and cost performance, highly recommended.
