"The Long Side" Today, the first beer I got was about to turn into tomorrow in 10 minutes. I've been working, so I should just go to sleep, but when I walked 1 minute from the hotel, there was a town. There are no other open stores until 27:00, so I wander around, but it's Monday, so there are no open stores. There was a sushi restaurant that I haven't been to, but I'm not in the mood for that, so I'll just have a drink at the store I secured. "The Long Side" This used to be an Italian restaurant, right? You've been there, right? It's on the second floor, and it's a counter, right... I'm alone, so I order a beer, "Fragrant Ale." It's the first beer of the day at this time, so it's definitely delicious. When I order my second beer, the next day has come. The "Wine-Steamed Clams" are not good. I can tell that much. It feels like biting into gravel, and I hesitate as I order the "Shrimp Ajillo." It's bubbling, and the atmosphere is nice. The dish is smaller than expected. It's salty at first, but you get used to it quickly. As expected, the ingredients are disappointing. The shrimp lacks freshness. It's not at the level of "I won't eat it!" but the garlic is decent, but the spiciness is not enough for me. I don't want it to be so spicy that it makes me choke, but I want a bit more. What should I do about the next beer? Since I can't expect much from the food, maybe I should just go back and sleep. It's a hassle to go to the convenience store in the opposite direction or to buy beer and go back, so I'll head home. "How much is it?" It's expensive, 2500 yen.

I visited Long Side for the first time since it moved. It's now closer to the city and more convenient. I planned to visit a few places, so I ordered the half portion of Polloco and Jalapeno Fritters as a light snack. I also had about three craft beers. Polloco is half a roast chicken, quite filling but with a light taste. I devoured it with the juicy sauce. It goes really well with beer. I love Jalapeno Fritters, which are basically jalapenos tempura. I eat them with salsa sauce. They are quite spicy, making me sweat a bit. The previous cozy atmosphere was nice, but the larger space now makes it more inviting. I might try the soup curry and garlic shrimp next time.

This time I want to try Mexican food! I came to Kitami, so after eating the classic yakiniku, I went for a walk and then found a place where I could drink beer from around the world on the exterior wall, so I went in. It's a Mexican restaurant, and the cheerful and bright design and colors inside the restaurant make you feel good. Since I was alone, I sat at the counter and ordered a Negra Modelo beer. I also got some giant corn as a snack. The customers seemed to be locals, coming in groups and making the back of the restaurant lively. From the counter, you could see the kitchen nearby, and the various Mexican scents, so different from Japanese cuisine, made me hungry even after yakiniku. I was tempted to order Cajun or Gumbo dishes, but I decided to save it for next time (laughs). They have been open for three months since relocating, and I hope they continue to thrive!

Visited on September 28, 2020. Started with ladder sake from an Italian restaurant (lol). It seems to be a restaurant with various international cuisines. We left the choice to the customers, so the names of the dishes are unknown, but they were delicious♪ The appetizer was taco-like and I liked it♪ The half chicken was also cut with a knife very carefully. We also had something like paella. It was delicious♪ But maybe because I only drank sake... my memory is a bit fuzzy in some parts (lol). Thank you for the meal m(_ _)m

Rafael Tacos' beef in the middle was made with authentic beef and had a satisfying taste. It came with a spicy sauce on the side, allowing you to enjoy different flavors. The Gumbo Noodle was like a soup curry with a seafood broth and ramen noodles, and it was very delicious. They offer hearty dishes rather than appetizers, but everything is tasty. They also had several types of craft beer, but for some reason, they were warm and disappointing.

I had spring rolls and oyster ahiago. Both were delicious, especially the ahiago! It was really tasty when dipping the bread in the oil.

Mexican. I visited a wonderful restaurant. All the staff were kind and polite. When it comes to Kitami, this is the place to be!! It was a really wonderful restaurant. Thank you for the meal ♬

A Mexican restaurant with a good amount of spices. They offer a variety of beers from different countries. It seems like smoking is allowed, but when I mentioned that I don't like it, they showed me to a semi-private seating area.
