I went to Karamatsu-san! It's been over 20 years since I last visited the old store. Now, I'm going to enjoy a quick drink in Obihiro after work. I hopped on the highway from Obihiro and headed to Honbetsu. Even though I have work again tomorrow, I can't resist a good drink. Today's group consists of familiar faces from Obihiro - a dark junior and a chubby junior, while in Honbetsu, a regular customer and Kobayashi Takashi Love are waiting for us. Karamatsu-san, it's so nostalgic and heartwarming. We arrived, and things were already in full swing. There's a huge fresh sushi roll, probably the shop's signature dish. Let's toast with beer once again. Ah, it's delicious. I went out drinking the night before, but somehow it tastes even better at night. The food keeps coming, but we decide to order something unique - the squid tempura. It's my first time trying this dish. The squid is literally just fried as tempura, and it comes with mayonnaise. Now, it's time for the restaurant's specialty, the fresh sushi roll. It's quite large, about 10cm in diameter. We all try to eat it without destroying its shape. Should we dip it in soy sauce or pour it directly on top? We're not sure, but it seems both ways are fine. We dip it in the soy sauce on a plate, take a bite, and it completely falls apart. It was a bit messy, but fun. Skewers are also a popular item, but they seem ordinary. The grilled clams were a bit disappointing, with a rubbery texture. We drank a lot tonight. It's time to head back to Obihiro. We once planned to do this outing, and now it's finally happening. Looking forward to the next round. Thank you, Karamatsu-san, for the delicious meal. Good job today, everyone.

Due to the coronavirus, it was difficult to relax even when I returned home, but with the relaxation of coronavirus measures, I was able to go back to my parents' house for the first time in a long time and relax. When getting takeout for hors d'oeuvres, I usually buy from supermarkets like Super Fukuhara or local supermarkets, but this time, I ordered some sushi rolls and hors d'oeuvres recommended by Karamatsu-san and went to pick them up to try them out. The sushi rolls and hors d'oeuvres were enough for about 6-7 people. First, the sushi rolls. The standout was the special seafood roll that had sushi rolls inside. It had tuna, salmon, yellowtail, egg, and flying fish roe. I informed them in advance about what my family members don't like, so those were excluded. You're supposed to eat them by hand because they fall apart when you try to transfer them to a plate with chopsticks. Yes, they were delicious. Each piece had quite a generous portion, so I had 3 pieces. The thin rolls were tuna and cucumber. The tuna was delicious. The hors d'oeuvres were meticulously crafted creative appetizers. There was roast beef, deep-fried skewers, deep-fried chicken with leek sauce, roasted duck meat, and some familiar items, but the recommended shrimp fritter with mayo sauce, mini tomato with something?, red turnip with something?, sorry, I don't know the exact names, but they were delicious. There were palate cleansers, fried items, sushi rolls, and it was really enjoyable. My parents at home were also delighted. Thank you for the delicious meal.
