Next week, I won't be able to eat what I like anymore. Yome-san told me that. On a Saturday when we had the day off, we traveled from Shintoku to Kushiro to Shintoku... for some meat. Since it was Saturday and it turned out to be a good time, I made sure to call ahead. It was all-you-can-eat, but I didn't eat too much. Yome-san didn't mind me eating a lot, but I kept it normal with the beer. The white cabbage kimchi really tasted great. I couldn't eat it at first, you know. Did they change the way they serve the horumon? It's three times as big now. I don't like making customers do the work. If it benefits the customers, then it's fine, but there are customers who like to slurp up the long ones, right? It's creepy. Cabbage and seaweed? Here, meat alone is fine. Stop forcing it on me. I prefer cabbage a bit more crunchy. The kalbi you ordered is quite big. It's a hassle. I don't like troublesome things, so I ordered everything. Yome-san's work is tough... It's often like this from my experience. That's why I don't order it. The most important part, the beef horumon, if it's delicious, I won't complain. But today, it was disappointing. "Isn't it bad when it's crowded?" That's what I said. It was a Saturday. Yome-san even ordered the Morioka cold noodles. She eats a lot.

Yome-san's slow days are my break from drinking, right? When I get a text saying "I want meat!" like a wild beast, even the beast seems to be showing signs of aging. Lately, he says "I don't really feel like eating meat that much..." even when we do yakiniku, he doesn't eat much. Despite that, there's no reason for me to refuse, so it's just a matter of where to go. "Manjiro or Bikkantei" either is fine. "How about XXXX??" If he sends something that I can't write here, it's that kind of guy. By the way, when going to Uchol, it's "Uchol?" It's raining, so I'll walk 10 minutes with an umbrella. I hope my feet don't hurt... Today, there was no pain from the morning, so I briefly thought about making a reservation, but if it was full, I'd be fine with ramen or conveyor belt sushi... and there was no need to worry at all. There was only one group of customers before us, so we had all-you-can-drink beer for 2 glasses, 3 glasses of shochu on the rocks, and finished with red wine. Seseri, beef horumon for 3 servings, beef sagari, pork tongue, napa cabbage kimchi, Caesar salad, and french fries. Looking at the meat, I thought, "It's not enough!!" I don't know if they raised the prices, but they definitely reduced the amount of meat. In the end, the amount we paid was high, so I said, "The other place was cheaper." and they said, "But you have to pay for the taxi." It may have ended up being about the same price. Seseri was delicious as usual, beef sagari was also delicious, but the pork tongue looked good but tasted bad... The beef horumon, which is crucial for Yome-san, was the best I've ever had. It was so delicious~~~ It cost 10,000 yen for two people. We could have had a course at a slightly higher-end yakiniku restaurant in the city. After all, even though we had to pay for the taxi...

I went to Nakashibetsu and stayed at Daiichi. After saying goodbye to everyone, I went to the Nakashibetsu city area. I missed lunch, but I'm trying not to gain weight so it's okay. Yome-san bought the work shoes she was eyeing, so I treated her. Before arriving in Abashiri, she asked, "As a thank you, shall we have some meat?" The shoes cost more than I expected. We made a reservation and as usual, had all-you-can-drink. I started with beer, but then switched to red wine. Beer is a no-go for me. Yome-san ordered the food. The sashimi was delicious, and the napa cabbage kimchi was good too. The salad was unnecessary for me, a vegetable hater, but I had to help. The thick-cut beef tongue was really good. It's quality meat. The premium beef sagari was expensive, but worth it. It was delicious. Yome-san ordered pork hormones, which was fine. I ordered beef hormones, and as long as it's delicious, I'm satisfied. Today's meal was delicious.

Manjiro replaced Yome-san's car navigation system and upgraded the drive recorder to 360° with enhanced rear view. Yome-san wasn't initially enthusiastic, but ended up being happy with the upgrades. She even suggested going out for meat as a thank you. Despite the cold weather, they ended up at a place with all-you-can-drink beer and cocktails. Yome-san enjoyed the cocktails, while the food was average. The beef ribs were just okay, but the pork intestine was delicious. They also ordered the ribs, but were disappointed by the excessive fat content. Despite this, they had a satisfying meat feast overall.

On a certain weekday, is the term "toaru" popular?? "Toaru" originally refers to a place, but now it's used however people like. Even announcers use it these days, so it's getting out of hand. There's no such thing as a "toaru weekday." "Want to eat meat??" they ask, but if you're invited, you have to go or there won't be a next time, so of course I'll gooooo~. I'll walk there, even though it's cold, it's not midwinter so the temperature is bearable. "Do you have a reservation??" Is that in the manual?? They ask, but I shake my head. You don't shake your head, it's your face, right? The only thing shaking is the all-you-can-drink. Today, more than usual, the service was cold, the beer was no good, the meat was all bad, the beef tongue was full of holes... did someone poke it?? Bad mood, right? Only the sesame was good today. The waitress quickly finished cutting the meat and served potato fries. They're crispy and delicious when eaten while still hot. What kind of place is this again?? The ratings are always all over the place.

"Yakiniku Manjirou" is quite popular, isn't it? "Don't you feel like eating meat soon?" "Yeah, I want to." "Should we go?" "Let's go!" And that's how we ended up at Manjirou. They are currently renovating, focusing on the kitchen this week. We decided to dine out as we didn't have the energy to go to the city. We didn't make a reservation and it turned out fine. We always end up sitting in the same spot for some reason. The first beer took a while to arrive. If the horumon (offal) is delicious, we have no complaints. Today's horumon passed the test, it's delicious and tender. The seseri (chicken neck) is usually good here, so we weren't worried. However, the butasagari (pork shoulder) was disappointing, tough and smelly. The butatan (pork tongue) wasn't great either, not as bad as the butasagari but still not good. The hakusai kimchi (Chinese cabbage kimchi) was average. Their fried potatoes, grilled on a net, were crispy and delicious. Overall, the meat got better as we ate. The salad and fried potatoes were also enjoyable. It was a delicious meal today.

On Friday, I felt like eating meat and texted "I want to eat meat." The response was "Do you want to go out to eat?" "If you prefer, we can eat at home even if you didn't buy any meat." "I didn't buy any." "...." "How about going to Manjiro?" "If you want." I decided to go out this time since I didn't have a good experience last time, but it's okay. "Should I make a phone call?" Normally, I would reply, "If you want to." But this time, I felt like trying a different restaurant if it's crowded, so I just headed there. There were no other customers. Normally they would ask, "Do you have a reservation?" but they didn't this time. It was all-you-can-eat with beer included. The beer was good enough. The kimchi tasted better than before. As for the meat, it wasn't amazing, but it was decent. We had both normal and miso flavor. The miso one was better. The chicken tenderloin was okay. The pot dish with meat wasn't as good as I remembered. My wife ordered it, but I didn't find it appealing. I also tried the pork tenderloin, but it was tough and not good. I need to learn more. I won't order it again. I didn't feel the disappointment I had last time. It was good.

I invited myself for a change, craving for some meat. I should have just gone to the city, but it seemed like too much trouble, plus it's cold out. We went without a reservation... I hope it's okay. It was not crowded, so that's good. Are you sure it's okay? I'm getting worried. With the increase in COVID cases, it's a concern. They offer all-you-can-drink. They also have all-you-can-eat, with or without beef hormone. I should have ordered the one without, but at the price of the one without, I got the one with beef hormone. The beer was delicious. I stuck with beer until the end. You guys changed to red wine at some point, right? Red wine... it was surprisingly good for all-you-can-drink. The chicken tenderloin was really good. They sneak in some low-quality meat in the mix, which is disappointing. Lamb was for my wife. I didn't eat it. The beef hormone changed... I realized they probably switched the meat for the all-you-can-eat option. That's not good. I only look forward to the hormone. I'm disappointed. The pork round hormone tasted okay, but it was tough. It's hard to chew when combined with the beef hormone. The Chinese cabbage kimchi was delicious. It's even better than before. Overall, it was a disappointing experience.

The atmosphere was dull and gloomy, and surprisingly my partner said, "I want to eat meat." It's been a while since I heard that. "Where do you want to go?" "How about Banjiro?" It's been my favorite recently. Well, it has become much tastier since it first opened, despite some ups and downs. The waves aren't too big, and they offer all-you-can-drink. I had 3 beers and 1 whiskey. The meat was terrible, so we decided to leave some time left. The second and third beers were delicious. I'm fine with just hormone, but the beef hormone... what happened to it? How could they serve something like this? It's terrible. Did they go back to how they were when they first opened? I won't say the raw lamb was terrible, just not delicious. My partner, surprisingly, said it was "so-so." "Dip it in the tasty salt!" my partner said. Do you understand what tasty salt means? It's delicious salt, right? If you complain to the restaurant, they'll say, "The salt should be delicious." But they didn't say the meat was delicious. Even though it wasn't written, my partner is saying it's "subtle." The salted sagari is good, right? My partner said to dip it in the sauce. Do you understand what tasty salt means? It's delicious salt, right? They didn't write that the meat was delicious. But they didn't say the meat was delicious. The lamb arrived, but I declined. This hormone really feels like it went back to how it was when they first opened. Will they serve this? It's so small that it looks like it will fall through the grill when cooked. If you can't imagine how it will turn out when cooked, maybe you should quit the kitchen. My partner left in the middle and went to the rotating sushi restaurant next door. It's over budget, but my partner will pay for it.

I had a really tough time recently, it came out of nowhere and dragged on for a while. It still hasn't fully recovered, but it's finally not affecting my daily life. For me, it was a reason to celebrate, but for my wife, it might have been a disappointment. We decided to go out to eat, and when I asked her what she wanted, she said, "Anything is fine." So, we ended up at a restaurant where we didn't have to walk much, but there was a wait. We wanted to eat meat, so we ended up at a place without a reservation. We were seated in the same spot as always. My wife ordered the all-you-can-drink option, starting with beer. She finished her first drink much faster than me, which was surprising. I was happy with just the hormone meat, while she also ordered beef tongue, white kimchi, and potato fries. The meat quality has improved a lot since the restaurant first opened. The hormone meat was now properly cut and very delicious. My wife commented that we didn't need to go all the way to the city for good food. It was a delicious meal.

I often don't check my LINE messages in the evening, and I often get scolded when I get home for not replying. Today was the same - as soon as I got home, I was asked, "Weren't you interested?" and I had no idea what they were talking about until I saw the LINE message inviting me to go somewhere. I didn't feel like eating what they suggested, but when I said I'd be okay with something else, we settled on going to "Manjiro." It's been a while since I've been there, and even though I wasn't really in the mood, after turning down two other places, I agreed to go there next. I don't like going to restaurants without a reservation, so I called ahead. The person on the phone seemed hesitant and mentioned that there might be a wait. I was surprised because the place didn't seem crowded at all. Nevertheless, I was seated after waiting for just 5 minutes. They offered an all-you-can-drink option, which I didn't expect since my wife hasn't been feeling well lately and doesn't drink much. I ended up having about 5 beers, and the quality was consistently good. I like beef hormone, but the one here was cut too small for my liking. Nonetheless, I gave it a try for the third time. The beef tongue looked a bit frozen, but it was still tasty. The grilled vegetables were also delicious. The kimchi was good but the portion was small for the price. The beef skirt steak was decent. Finally, the beef hormone arrived, and it was surprisingly large. However, it shrank significantly when grilled, leaving me a bit disappointed. Overall, the restaurant has improved, and I think they have the potential to attract more customers in the area. Keep up the good work!

So, there's no need to rush, but I had already made preparations because we had planned to go out in the city on Friday. When I got home, out of the blue, someone mentioned that a yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) restaurant had opened. It used to be an Italian restaurant, but they renovated the interior. Yome-san had been keeping an eye on it, as expected of her keen sense of smell. She peeked in on the opening day. I wonder if you can enter without a reservation on the opening day? It's at 6 pm. I'll give it a try. They say it was empty a little while ago, but they don't seem to be advertising much. It's part of the Big Sun group, so they should be shrewd, but who knows? When I arrived, it was indeed full. They didn't ask about reservations, just said, "Please write your name and wait." Even so, there were people leaving, so they said, "We can seat you as soon as we tidy up." I waited for about 5 minutes. It seems like they make you wait quite a bit, but after that, there were always people waiting, so I was lucky. I ordered a beer and the explanation was lacking. It seems like you can use the touch panel and call button. Well, they must not be used to it. There were a lot of staff members. There seemed to be follow-up from other stores. I did mention "table billing." The cabbage kimchi was 400 yen, a bit more expensive than others, but it was delicious without being too sweet. This kimchi was the most delicious. So, I had seconds. And what I had seconds of was... the sauce was too sweet. The pork hormone was on sale for 150 yen. The way it was cut was quite rough. Is it because it's a freebie? The posture wasn't great. They also cut the cow's rumen too finely. It should be about twice as big. Why do they cut it so small? The beef tongue was normal, so I have no complaints. They didn't have beef hormone, so I had nothing to order. I ended up ordering maruchou, but why did they cut it so small? I'm sensitive, so I worry if it's too big, but this was cut too finely. I was thinking of adding more meat, but after trying it, I stopped. I followed Yome-san's suggestion to go out in the city and didn't add more. I had 5 beers, 2 of us had 5 beers. I also added kimchi. The added kimchi was terrible. It was a completely different quality from the first kimchi. There was no recognizable shape of cabbage. It was like scraps. It was tasty, but are they kidding? I was angry, but Yome-san just laughed. Why would they serve something like this? If they keep doing this, they'll go downhill fast. But maybe their business skills will prevent that. In the end, it was a little over 6000 yen. Yome-san thinks it's cheap. Now, I'm standing at the bus stop in the cold.

It is located in the same row as Big Sun and Coin Laundry. I went there right away because they were having a grand opening sale. I arrived at 6:30, even though they opened at 5:00, and there were already 2 groups waiting. After waiting for about 30 minutes, I was finally able to get a seat. As I was heading to my table, I noticed that there were about 2 empty tables. Maybe they are still not fully operational yet. I ordered a variety of dishes, but my favorites were the salted hormone and the cold noodles. The cold noodles were refreshing and perfect for finishing off the meal. I thought it was gochujang, but when I tried it, it was more like tenmenjan and surprisingly sweet. The tongs were also easy to use. I also liked the salt and pepper. Other than the initial order, everything was done through a touch panel and table-side payment.

I went to eat lunch curry with tonkatsu. The curry was a bit sweet. The portion was not large, and it came with salad and soup as a bonus, so it was just right in the end.

The place has a slightly luxurious feel to it. However, the meat is very reasonably priced. The staff is friendly and you can enjoy your meal.
