This time the otoshi (appetizer) was oden. The broth was delicious and it had some grated yamaimo (Japanese yam) in it, which was a nice touch. It had chikuwa (fish cake), konnyaku (yam cake), daikon (radish), and takenoko (bamboo shoot). It was my first time trying bamboo shoot in oden, and it was delicious. Lately, I haven't been frying food at home, so I keep being drawn to dishes like potato fries or oyster fry. I really want to have ramen or yukgaejang (spicy beef soup) as a finish, but I always end up too full and my dream doesn't come true. But grilled rice balls are just so delicious... Thank you for the meal!

Located between the subway and JR stations in the Kotonui area, this izakaya along Kotonui-Sakaemachi Street is a great spot for a meal. The atmosphere may seem a bit quiet upon entering due to the dim lighting, but there were quite a few customers and the staff were working energetically. The menu mainly consists of yakitori dishes, with a smaller selection compared to regular izakayas. We ordered drinks separately and had dishes like the ones in the photos, which came out to around 2,000 yen per person, making it quite reasonable. All the dishes we ordered were delicious, but personally, I really enjoyed the juicy and thickly cut "chicken skewers (160 yen each)." I didn't check the overall size of the restaurant, but they do offer all-you-can-drink alcohol, making it a great choice for parties or for those who love yakitori.

On a Friday night, we went to an izakaya in Koini, a little late. There is also a shop on Nishi 28-chome, which seemed to have a good reputation on Tabelog, but it doesn't allow children, so it's hard to go. When my husband and I happened to go out for a drink, we went to the Koini shop. When we entered the store, the seats in front were mostly empty. There were several customers in the back. We were seated at a table next to the customers, and we were informed that we would be ordering through a QR code due to the coronavirus situation. We ordered right away. I ordered a half-size draft beer, which I like, and it came in a cute glass made of thin glass material. The appetizer cost 450 yen, which was a simmered dish with chicken meatballs. The chicken broth was well prepared and delicious. The chicken tataki, served with grated daikon radish and scallions, topped with soy sauce, was average in taste. It lacked sweetness and depth of flavor. The three-masu pickles with green nanba were served in a small amount and were slightly frozen when served. Is this intentional? It was just the right spiciness for a drinking snack. When I dipped the leftover chicken tataki in it and ate it, it was very delicious. I regret not eating it this way from the beginning. The zangi was delicious, but the presentation was lacking. Since it's a skewer dish, the skewers were neither good nor bad, just average. The liver skewers were cooked perfectly. The fried tofu and yam tempura snacks were also average. I ordered a fresh grape sour, which had a few grape fruits in it. The quantity was unusually small, and the taste was almost non-existent. It was unusual to be served like this. Maybe grapes are expensive now? The staff were young and handsome. I didn't feel their service spirit, but they weren't rude either, so the impression was faint. The total cost for the two of us was 5,990 yen. The cost performance was also not great.

I had mentioned that I would visit again soon in my previous post, but ended up taking a few months to return. Finally, I revisited the restaurant. I ordered the usual skewer menu, along with some onigiri, zangi (full-size), and shishamo because I was quite hungry. Everything was delicious as always, but the onigiri was surprisingly big in size. There is also a smaller size available, but the large size was satisfying. The filling was tasty, but I felt that it was a bit salty. It could be a matter of personal preference, so I am not sure if it was just a one-time thing or the usual. I plan to give it another try to confirm.

The atmosphere in the restaurant was calm. Even though I didn't have a reservation, I was seated in a box seat next to a couple. I asked if I could sit at the counter, and smoothly took a seat there. I realized they had a drink-all-you-can option, which became more cost-effective after the fourth drink. I noticed items on the menu such as shrimp mayo salad, zangi (6 pieces), chicken skewers, pork skewers, heart skewers, and quail egg skewers. The staff were busy but attentive to all customers. I was satisfied with this tavern where regular customers gather, without caring about social media. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this place once before and really liked it, so even though it hasn't been long since my last visit, I decided to go again. Last time, I ordered chicken tataki, but this time I tried the chicken sashimi. Unlike tataki, this one is served raw and you eat it with wasabi soy sauce. I also ordered a large portion of zangi with extra mayonnaise, as well as a few skewers. The chicken sashimi was different from tataki but delicious in its own way. The zangi and skewers were also very tasty. The more I go, the more I like Kushiyume Tori. I'll probably end up visiting again soon. Personal note: All-you-can-drink option available.

I had known about this restaurant for a while, but I always thought it was just another cheap chain restaurant and never felt like going. However, this time I couldn't find any other place to eat, so I decided to give it a try. The restaurant was quite spacious, and I was seated in a raised seating area. The lighting was a bit dim, but it created a relaxed atmosphere. The menu was surprisingly diverse, offering not only yakitori but also other dishes like daily specials. I ordered chicken skewers, pork skewers, chicken tataki, fried smelt, fried natto, and half portion of zangi. The skewers were generously sized and delicious, exceeding my expectations. I was pleasantly surprised by the taste of the chicken tataki, fried smelt, fried natto, and zangi. Everything was above average in taste and reasonably priced. I was particularly impressed that the zangi came with mayonnaise, as I am a mayo lover. I promised myself to order zangi every time I visit this place in the future. Instead of getting lost looking for a restaurant, I will definitely come back to this wonderful place. I will visit again. Personal note: They offer all-you-can-drink option.

I'm hungry, but many shops are temporarily closed, making it hard to find lunch. Small shops would find it easier to receive subsidies by closing temporarily. This situation makes me feel conflicted. Finally found a lunch open izakaya called Kushiyume Tori, which operates several grilled chicken izakaya shops. Upon entering, they provided hand sanitizer and took our temperature before seating us at a 6-person table. They had a lunch menu on the table, offering a 500 yen lunch special. I ordered the top menu, which was a fried food set with a free extra serving of rice. I also ordered today's 100 yen extra menma. After waiting for 17 minutes, the food arrived. The meal included extra rice, 3 pieces of zangi, 1 pork belly skewer, tofu, pickled vegetables, Chinese soup, and the 100 yen menma. The extra rice was dry, the zangi and skewer smelled of old oil, and the Chinese soup was extremely small and cold. The pickled vegetables and menma were decently arranged. Is this acceptable for 500 yen? Even at 300 yen, some people might refuse. Would you want your loved ones to eat this? Do the chefs think this is good enough to serve? I heard the owner is a respectable person, so I hope they will improve their operations from the top down.

- This is a local chain yakitori izakaya with three locations in Sapporo. - The yakitori is delicious and reasonably priced. However, the raised seating area is cramped and not very relaxing. Also, despite being busy and close to full capacity, the food took a while to come out. - We tried various grilled dishes as shown in the photos, and they were all of good quality for the price. They were delicious! Also, I had never tried this before and it was quite good: - Celery pickles, 280 yen I love pickles, but I don't think I've had celery much before! It was slightly salty, with no distinct celery flavor, and it was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

I went to a yakitori restaurant called Kushimuchou in Sapporo with a friend. They have a special deal where certain skewers are discounted on certain days and times. Today, being April 29th, we enjoyed the discounted prices. However, when we received the bill, we noticed that some items were priced lower than they should have been, which made us feel a bit uneasy. The total bill was lower than expected, but it left a bit of a sour taste in our mouths. The ordering process was done manually by the staff, which may have led to the pricing errors. Overall, the food was delicious, but the experience was not entirely satisfying.

I used it for the first time in about 5 years! Each skewer was large and satisfying in size, and the grilling was also done well. The only thing that bothered me was that the staff was wearing rubber gloves while serving, but other than that, I couldn't find any faults! It was a restaurant that made me want to go again!

Recently discovered a favorite izakaya. The chicken tataki with mountain wasabi is highly recommended.

I eat out 360 days a year, but I don't want to go there twice. The alcohol is cheap, but even if I don't have money, I don't want to go. I do not recommend it. Ignorance is bliss? I never want to go there again.

Today's fried dish set meal (Liver cutlet)

Cost performance is the best. A must-try is the signature dish, rare salted chicken skewers.

I feel like eating yakitori when it's the weekend for drinking at home. Tonight, I tried takeout from Kushiyume Tori. I bought chicken skewers with salt seasoning, pork skewers with tare sauce, chicken liver skewers with tare sauce, and chicken cartilage skewers with salt seasoning, two of each. The salt seasoning was decently flavored and the overall taste was good. The tare sauce was lighter than expected, but it paired well with the meat and tasted delicious. Although there was nothing particularly unique compared to other skewers I've had, they were well-cooked and tasty. When I called to inquire, I was told that the chicken skin cooks quickly, but I felt it could have been a bit more crispy. However, the chicken liver was tender and flavorful, and the skewers were easy to eat with no overpowering flavors. Overall rating 3.3, Taste 3.3, Service 3.3, Atmosphere - , Cost performance 3.2, Drinks - , Address: Kitasei Bldg 1F, 2-24 Koto 2-jo 2-chome, Nishi-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido. Next time, I look forward to trying freshly cooked skewers in the restaurant.

It's like a guitar. Since I have some time before my appointment, I'll have a solo after-party. It'll only be about an hour, so let's go to a yakitori restaurant. I haven't been to this place before, so let's try Kushi Yumitori. I'm seated at the counter, and there are many keep bottles, typical of a yakitori restaurant. There seem to be a lot of regular customers here! I have some expectations. The appetizer is simmered chicken. I order zangi, 5 skewers, and tamagoyaki. I wanted to try the omurice too, but since it's a solo after-party, I'll stick to this amount. The appetizer is lightly simmered and delicious. The skewers gradually arrive! The problem is the heart! It's chicken heart, and it has a bit of a lingering smell, and lacks the crispy texture. Maybe the blood wasn't drained properly. The other yakitori and tamagoyaki were delicious. It's a good place to stop by for a solo after-party. Thank you for the meal. I'll be taking a break for about a week to enjoy my time off, so I'll be closing the comments section.

I meet with my wife at the Kotoi station and we decide to have a drink at "Kushimudori" in Kotoi, as it is raining and walking is a hassle. This is my first time at this particular branch of "Kushimudori." Despite the rain, the restaurant seems busy and I am asked if I made a reservation. I am seated without any issues. We start with a beer and order "Chicken breast and vegetable simmered" as an appetizer. For our main dishes, we order "Camembert cheese fry" and "Grilled shishamo." We also try various skewers like pork, liver, bonjiri, chicken skin, and cartilage. The liver was deliciously tender, but the others were a bit too salty and small in size, making them not very cost-effective. Overall, the restaurant used to leave a better impression on me, but this time it felt a bit lacking. I will give it another chance in the future. Thank you for the meal.
