On this day, I casually visited "Sakaba Odoru Uguisu" in Fukuoka City's Chuo-ku, Imazumi area.
◇ Exterior and Interior
This izakaya is located in the Imazumi area of Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City. It is more like a tavern than a typical izakaya. There is a main store in Haruyoshi, which I have been using since my first visit and found it very convenient. This time, I visited the newly opened branch in Imazumi. The exterior is standard, but the interior has a lively and modern tavern-style atmosphere. The background music playing adds to the lively atmosphere, which I personally enjoy. Smoking is allowed.
◇ Seating
There is a counter with about 13 seats in a "ko no ji" shape, and several tables. The layout is somewhat cluttered, with narrow aisles, but intentionally designed that way, similar to the main store in Haruyoshi.
◇ Menu Structure
The menu mainly consists of izakaya-style dishes, with prices ranging from 190 yen to 690 yen. I ordered the following:
- Lemon Sour Set (890 yen): Personally, I consider this set to have the best cost performance. You get about 3 drinks for this price, which is quite a deal. The lemon sour comes in a bottle of 600ml, with frozen sliced lemons equivalent to 2 lemons, and lots of ice. The title of this review has two meanings, and one of them refers to this set. Even though it is already a great deal, there is a way to enhance it further. Lemon sours have become a staple, but the trend of "oishii" style, where additional alcohol is added, has also emerged. While "oishii" style is great in terms of cost performance, the reverse freezing pattern can be tricky. The lemon loses its fragrance and juice when frozen. In this case, the lemons at this restaurant are also frozen. The sliced lemons are stored in the ice bucket, and if you take them out separately, the juice won't be lost in the ice bucket. It is recommended to take out the lemons separately. You can also squeeze the lemons slightly to extract the juice. This way, even with the freezing pattern, the drink can still be enjoyable. If you don't do this, the set may not taste as good. It's up to you to adjust it to your taste, but for those who may have trouble, this tip can be helpful.
- Uguisu no Tamago (490 yen): This dish consists of avocado and meat miso. It is a signature dish alongside Doten. However, I was already exhausted from the previous drink, so I will rely on another review for this one.
◆ Strong Points
You can enjoy drinks at a low price in a lively atmosphere!
◆ Service
The service is not bad. Some staff members are attentive.
◆ Summary
Honestly, opinions about this kind of restaurant can vary greatly. Therefore, it's important to understand the type of place it is and enjoy it with people who appreciate it or adjust your enjoyment accordingly. That was the second meaning. I'm not trying to defend the restaurant in any way. Thank you for the meal.
