This is a cash-on restaurant. Customers inside are mostly enjoying a 1-hour all-you-can-drink for 1000 yen. There are many regular customers, and the atmosphere is fun. I visited casually by myself, but both the mama-san and regular customers were kind and fun to drink with. The oden for 100 yen is also delicious with a rich flavor. Normally, you can also order yakitori from the neighboring restaurant, Kushiya Jiro. I would like to visit this place again.

I was finally able to visit the restaurant that I had been curious about for a long time. This was actually my third attempt to go in. The restaurant is usually open on weekdays, but it had been closed unexpectedly the previous times I tried to visit. I arrived before 6:00 pm, as the restaurant opens at 5:30 pm. The interior was not very spacious, with a counter and tables, and there was only one person running the place. The payment system was unique, where you prepay by putting money in a metal bowl in front of you, and the staff calculates the bill from there. I ordered the all-you-can-drink option for one hour and started with a beer. The beer was incredibly delicious! I had been disappointed by the taste of beer at other places recently, so this was a pleasant surprise. I heard that their oden was recommended, so I ordered that. The broth was so tasty that I even drank it by itself (jokingly, but it was that good). I was recommended to try the dried firefly squid, so I added that to my order. The flavor was intense, so I immediately ordered hot sake. I ended up having two cups of hot sake (laughs). I had beer, lemon chu-hai, sake, and awamori that day, and I ended up staying for nearly 4 hours, ordering more drinks even after the one-hour all-you-can-drink was over. I will definitely visit this place again. The food was delicious, and I had a great time. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

This day was a year-end party with my former department's junior colleagues. The junior colleague had made a reservation at Torikawa Daimin, which is relatively close by. Since I had work during the day, I arrived more than 30 minutes early for the 18:30 gathering. Suddenly, I noticed a restaurant in a nearby alley that I had been curious about when taking the bus. So, I decided to give it a try in a 30-minute challenge. Before entering the restaurant, I checked the signboard and saw that they offered a set of 3 small dishes plus one drink for 1000 yen. Some other places offer sets with 3 drinks, so I was a bit disappointed, but I was looking forward to the snacks. Inside the restaurant, there was a lovely lady who seemed to be the mama-san. There were other salarymen customers, and the atmosphere seemed lively. Although they offered all-you-can-drink for 1000 yen, I had another appointment later, so I only ordered 3 dishes and a beer. The dishes arrived and they all looked delicious - simmered konjac, simmered beef tendon, and a dish with crunchy skin. They were all tasty. I had to hurry as I was running out of time, but I enjoyed the food and with all-you-can-drink and dishes for just two 1000 yen bills, I felt completely satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

All-you-can-drink for 1 hour for 1000 yen! "Minya", a standing bar located one street off Sumiyoshi Street. The place used to be a casual Italian restaurant, but now it's a standing bar called "Minya". The interior is not very spacious, and it's a complete standing style bar. Even though it's standing, the drink prices are normal, so the 1-hour all-you-can-drink deal seems to be a good deal. You can only have one glass of draft beer. It's cash only. At the back of the counter, there is a mirror that leads to the next-door yakitori restaurant. Besides oden, other dishes also come from the neighboring restaurant. The oden is 100 yen each. I had deep-fried tofu with tomato. It warms you up. For drinks, I had two highballs and one lemon sour. After almost an hour, it was time to finish. As I was heading home, I found another cheap place opening up again.店情報Minya4-10-21 Sumiyoshi, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City
