The shop under the elevated structure in the mulberry orchard. Many shops are quite crowded on weekends. According to reviews, there used to be pork soup and unlimited drink options, but they seem to be gone now. I ordered an assorted skewer set and butter with Hokkaido red potatoes. The Hokkaido red potato butter itself is delicious, but, how can I put it... the appearance is... The skewers are quite large. They are quite salty. I wonder if they go well with beer? But they are too salty. The tsukune was difficult to eat as it stuck to the skewer. The other skewers were okay, I guess. The hormone skewer was the most delicious.

Next time, I declared that I would go to a restaurant, and this time it became a reality. However, the condition of the meat... Is it just by chance? There is a staff member grilling over charcoal behind the counter, so the atmosphere seemed like the meat was being grilled over charcoal and looked delicious. But, the menu had information about freshness, cutting method, and other details that seemed different from what was actually served. The restaurant, Toriya Kuoen located under the elevated East Plaza at Kuoen Station, was bustling on a weekend night, with many popular restaurants in the area fully booked. We managed to get a table at Toriya Kuoen, but the restaurant was crowded with smoke when we entered. The friendly staff led us to a vacant table in the back, and although it didn't feel too smoky when we sat down, our clothes still smelled of smoke after we left. I ordered a White Horse Highball, which was easy to drink, but the skewers we ordered didn't quite hit the mark. Nevertheless, the copper mug added a touch of elegance to the drink. The complimentary edamame had a strange flavor, but once we started eating, it tasted like regular edamame. We ordered a plate of chicken and pork skewers, but the meat didn't seem very fresh and had a noticeable freezer taste. The seasoning was strong, making it a good match for drinks, but the overall taste was lacking. The meat skewers were followed by the tsukune, which seemed to have undergone a slimming transformation but didn't impress in terms of flavor. Despite the nice addition of egg yolk and the crunchy cartilage, there were many points that left me feeling unsatisfied.店舗情報北海道札幌市中央区北9条西14丁目イーストプラザ内鳥屋 桑園店

In Sapporo, there is a restaurant district under the elevated tracks of JR Koen Station in Chuo-ku, Sapporo. I was called by a regular reviewer to check out a certain restaurant in the area. Unfortunately, the place we wanted to go to was full, so we ended up at this restaurant. It was a Friday night, post-payday, and surprisingly not too crowded. The exterior of the restaurant had a large menu displayed. Inside, there was a strong smell of cigarettes. The staff quickly prepared a table for us. The restaurant had a wide space with counter seats in front of the kitchen where skewers were grilled over charcoal. There were also table seats along the wall and raised seating in the back. Most of the customers were middle-aged salarymen. I ordered a Highball, served in a copper mug-like container, which tasted deliciously cold. We had edamame as a complimentary appetizer, followed by various skewers and the special "Tsukune" dish. The skewers were a bit salty and lacked juiciness, possibly indicating they were frozen. The Tsukune dish was small in portion and also lacked flavor. Overall, the restaurant seemed more suitable for those looking for a place to drink freely rather than for quality food.

The guardhouse at the mulberry orchard surprisingly offers a variety of options. Especially for a night of drinking, there are many great deals. One evening, I decided to drop by and try the "Just One Drink Set". Despite the name, it actually comes with two drinks haha. While enjoying my beer with mozuku vinegar, I waited for about 10 minutes. Then, the appetizer set arrived. It included skewers of chicken breast, pork belly, and pork loin. The pork loin was juicy and delicious, while the pork belly had a nice punch to it. The chicken breast could have been a bit more tender. The zangi (fried chicken) was surprisingly large with a light soy sauce flavor, though the batter was a bit hard. Overall, it was decent. The set also came with chilled tomatoes, chilled tofu, pickles, salad, and pork miso soup. All of them had a comforting taste. At 1480 yen, it was quite a good deal considering the amount of food. I ended up ordering an extra drink because of the portion size. It was a bit empty on a late Sunday night, so I hope they do well. Thank you for the meal.

Under the elevated tracks at Sangen Station, there is a place called "Toroya." I visited around 5 pm on a weekday and sat alone at the counter. The interior was surprisingly spacious, with a separate room for 6 people, two tables for 4 people, two tables for 2 people, and a raised section for about 20 people. I ordered the early bird evening drink set for 980 yen (excluding tax), which included a choice of two items from salted fish, tofu, potato salad, fresh pickles, edamame, and two chicken wings, along with chicken skewers and pork skewers, plus one drink. I tried to order potato salad and chicken wings with a beer, but they were out of potato salad (even though it was right after opening). They substituted tofu instead, but it was just a small portion. The chicken wings had crispy skin and were delicious, and the two types of yakitori were cooked well with the right amount of salt. I added a glass of cold sake. On the counter, there were salt, pepper, magic spice, and the staff's cigarettes in plain view of the customers. Isn't that a bit unappetizing? Thank you for the meal.

Under the elevated tracks at Kuwanazono Station. After finishing the first party, I walked from Susukino. But it's cold! It was so cold on that day! I'll warm up at Kuwanazono Station and take the JR back. Shivering as I walk, suddenly a yakitori restaurant appears in front of me! Haha, I was sucked in and found myself holding a highball in my right hand. And before I knew it, I was ordering chicken skewers, pork skewers, chicken with mountain wasabi, and moon-viewing meatballs... Oh no, I've done it again (つД`)ノ Why can't I just go straight home... (^_^*) The skewers keep arriving one after another! The yakitori here is big, isn't it? It's a good thing that they're big ^_^ The chicken and pork are juicy and delicious! I didn't think so at all when I had them before. That's why I didn't visit for a while. Maybe the black pepper is the key ^_^ The chicken with mountain wasabi has a lot of wasabi on it, so spicy! It feels great to have so much wasabi on each piece of chicken! I really enjoyed the strong sensation of the wasabi ^_^ It's nice when your nose clears up, isn't it? The moon-viewing meatballs are a bit firm, aren't they? They need to make them softer! I've warmed up nicely and now I'm heading home! Thanks for the meal ^_^

Great value for money with a variety of snacks, and it's nice that it comes with pork miso soup. The grilled chicken skewers with salt are delicious. The interior of the restaurant plays Showa era songs, which adds to the atmosphere.

After finishing work at 5 pm in the mulberry garden, I felt like having a drink and invited my good friend, Tomoko, who happily agreed. We decided on the "Just a Drink Set 1580 yen" under the elevated tracks of JR Kuwanazono Station. It was just past 5 pm on a weekday, with no other customers present and only about 10 people coming in later, so we were able to choose our favorite table - a 4-person table for just the two of us. We ordered the "Just a Drink Set 1580 yen" + tax, which included 2 drinks, appetizers, 3 skewers, fried food, potato salad, cold tofu, pickles, and pork miso soup. Despite being called "Just a Drink," you can actually have 2 drinks! We ordered two short jugs of Malt beer. The appetizer was a generous serving of bamboo shoot stew. The large plate included a mountain of shredded cabbage, watercress, potato salad, cold tofu, pickled Chinese cabbage, and Zangi. The amount was incredible! The cabbage was so plentiful that we asked for extra mayonnaise. The skewers arrived at the right time, hot off the grill - chicken, pork, and meatballs. The plate was enough for two people. The meat was delicious - juicy chicken, tender pork, and flavorful meatballs. The salt level was just right, not too salty. We ordered another round of beer. The individual beer prices were a bit high. We took home the leftover skewers as usual. The next day, I had a grilled chicken bento for lunch. The pork miso soup arrived towards the end, a nice way to finish the meal. Despite being full, the timing of the hot dishes was impressive. It was a good experience. If we hadn't ordered extra drinks, it would have been quite affordable! Total time spent: 1.5 hours. Total payment: 2246 yen per person.

In 2018, my wife is having a New Year's party with her friends and there is no dinner at home. So, I decided to have my own New Year's party, but I don't have many friends like Anpanman. I guess it's my own fault. I ended up going to a restaurant called "Toroya Kuwon Ten" near Kuwon Station. I tried their "Just a Little Set" which includes two drinks, appetizers, cold tofu, pickles, grilled chicken, potato salad, Zangi, and pork miso soup for 1480 yen. The appetizer was okay, but the cold tofu was average. The pickles had a strange sweet and spicy taste. The grilled chicken was tender but lacked warmth. The potato salad was too sweet, and the Zangi needed more seasoning. The pork miso soup was sour. Overall, the food was too sweet or sour, and even after eating everything, I didn't feel full. The quality of the chicken was good, and the service was fine, but the flavors needed improvement. I should have considered the difference in stomach size between me and Chibatan. Oh well, can't change the past! I'll buy some "Gindaco" and have a second party at home alone.

I felt the presence of good staff at the store. Despite being young, the staff members had a friendly demeanor and smiles, making me secretly vow to dine at the restaurant next time. I purchased a value-packed assortment of 9 skewers for 1080 yen, all cooked with flavorful binchotan charcoal. Each skewer was delicious and well-prepared, including heart, gizzard, chicken skin, liver, chicken, and pork. Although I failed to identify one skewer, it would have been helpful if they were labeled. The skewers were perfect for a weekend home drinking session with family. I visited the restaurant near JR Kuwazono Station while at AEON and found it to be a place I would like to visit again. As I was leaving with my yakitori, I unexpectedly encountered a fellow reviewer. After purchasing, I got a bit lost trying to find my car in the underground parking lot. Overall, I rate the restaurant 3.5, with the food, service, atmosphere, and value all around 3.4-3.5. The restaurant is located in East Plaza within Kuwazono, Sapporo, Hokkaido. Next time, I aim to try their cost-effective drink set!

2017/8★Just a Little Drink Set 1598 yen After work, I decided to stop by for a drink on my own. The area under the JR overpass has a charmingly run-down feel. Each store offers a set for a quick drink, and today I chose a yakitori restaurant! Since it was a weekday, there weren't many customers. Since I was alone, they recommended a spacious table seat for me. Let's not hold back then! This "Just a Little Drink Set" is amazing! Instead of just one drink, you get two drinks! And the amount of snacks is huge! You might not be able to tell from the picture, but the plates are big! It's like the snack set you get at karaoke! The "appetizer" was a boiled dish with chicken, burdock, and konjac. The "yakitori" consisted of three skewers with chicken, pork, and chicken tenderloin, perfectly seasoned. The "fried food" included a large piece of fried chicken, cut in half for easy eating. It was juicy and delicious! The "cold tofu" was silken tofu, cut into quarters. The "pickles" were generously served. The "potato salad" was mashed and had cucumbers inside. The "salad" was also generously served, like the bagged salads you find at convenience stores, with Caesar dressing. And surprisingly, there was "pork miso soup"! A bit strange, but with lots of meat and very tasty! All of this for 1480 yen (excluding tax)!! Two drinks might not be enough, but I believe in not wasting food. I tried my best to finish everything, and even though I couldn't drink much more, my stomach was full. I couldn't fit anything else in my stomach. I decided to head home without ordering more drinks. The staff, although young, were pleasant. I recommend this place to those who enjoy eating a lot, as the portion size is quite generous. You won't need to order extra food with this amount! Personally, I prefer fewer snacks and a lower price, but overall, it was a satisfying meal. Thank you for the meal!

Welcome. ---------- July 2016 ---------- Under the elevated East Plaza of JR Kuwon Station, there used to be a seafood izakaya. In the kitchen, there is a person in charge of grilling, a side person, and a friendly hostess. As I sat down at the J-shaped counter, I noticed a bottle of sake in front of me. The atmosphere was welcoming and there was no sense of unfamiliarity from the main store. This is the true nature of "Toroya". The hostess, who had become a topic of conversation with the others, seemed to be a student. She was always standing by her designated spot, ready to assist whenever customers arrived. If you are not a fan of the crowded atmosphere, it is recommended to visit after 7 pm. Looking at the menu, the options were varied but unfortunately, there was no mention of the famous dish that raven-spk was looking forward to. The first drink was a tofu drink, and I also ordered some squid and simmered beans. The squid had a nice touch of spice, and the simmered beans added a sweet and salty accent. The pig dish was perfectly salted and had a delightful texture. The chicken skewers were tender with a sweet and salty sauce. The grilled egg was fluffy and had a soft texture. Overall, the food was well-seasoned and the atmosphere was cozy. The staff were always smiling, adding to the pleasant experience. In conclusion, thank you for the delicious meal.
