It's 4:00 PM on July 1, 2023. I'm at Escon Field. Oh, hello, this is Kamen! Today, the Fighters are struggling again. Lucky Seven, our opponent, is heading to Nana Hoshi Yokocho for some shopping! Luckily, there are many empty shops. I visit a shop with a lot of appetizers. Like a company cafeteria, I pick my favorite dishes along the counter and head to the register at the end. This time, I chose simmered dish (regular), a set of 5 grilled chicken skewers, hot pot fried chicken, and white peach shake. The simmered dish lacks a bit in volume, but the taste is slightly above average. The other dishes also have flavors that are more than satisfactory. The shake is served in a plastic bag that is well-mixed, with a thick straw inserted. It's a bit difficult to drink, but it was delicious too! Thank you for the meal!

It is located on the 2nd floor of Escon Field. I went there during a day game on a holiday, right after the game started. There was quite a line, but the turnover was quite fast. I had potato chips, fried chicken, and yakitori. The taste was average.

After the Escon Field match, we leisurely enjoyed some yakitori. We had 5 salted skewers and 5 with sauce. The chicken was tender and delicious even when slightly cooled. We couldn't choose the parts, but we had negima, skin, and more. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Located on the 2nd floor of Escon Field, "Nanatsuboshi Yokocho" behind 3rd base is an alley where famous shops from all over the country gather, allowing fans to enjoy drinks and food after the game. Each shop offers eat-in options, and there are shared tables and standing seats like a food court. You can stay until 22:30 after the game, and each shop accepts orders until around 22:00. (This may vary depending on the end time of the game. On this day, the game ended around 20:45.) ◆ Specialty Grilled Chicken Skewers (5 pieces) ¥980 Includes Negima and chicken skin. It was delicious and reasonably priced for ballpark food.

I went to watch a night game and got hungry, so I headed to Nantosei Yokocho. I couldn't decide what to get, but luckily all the shops were not crowded on a weekday. I finally decided on the Motsu Nabe (medium size) + 3 pieces of yakitori + beer. Both the Motsu Nabe and yakitori were delicious, but I think they would be even better if served hotter. Eating while watching baseball was the best. Thank you for the meal!

Last time, I visited Escon Field HOKKAIDO on a weekday and found that many shops were closed. However, I heard that Seven Star Alley is open even on days without games, so I decided to visit again! Seven Star Alley has few restaurants registered on Tabelog, and many of them do not have a phone number listed, making it difficult to get registered. But this restaurant is registered, so let's check it out! This shop is the second branch of "Def eat," which operates 10 restaurants in Yokohama and offers an evolved version of a pub called "Public Dining 2.0 and Posu." Their specialty is a beef tripe stew that sells 300 servings a day, but since I wasn't in the mood for stew on a hot day, I passed on that. Instead, I ordered the recommended yakitori, potato chips, and a drink. I enjoyed them at the eat-in space in front of the shop. The "Usami Masahiro Selection Happy Potato" (590 yen) had thick-cut potato chips seasoned with salt and occasionally sweet seasoning, but they were a bit soggy, which was disappointing. The "Yakitori 3 pieces (salt)" (590 yen) included thigh meat, skin, and green onion skewers. They were quickly seared and served, but they were a bit cold, which was also disappointing. I tried the "Lemon Sour with Fox" (700 yen), which was very sweet. It was a bit pricey, but all the shops at Escon were around the same price. My companion had a "Coca-Cola" (380 yen). The bright open kitchen created a lively atmosphere. Next time, I'll try the beef tripe stew! Thank you, "Posu"!

It seems like the stewed tripe is popular at this restaurant. It had soft tripe in abundance. The seasoning was strong, making it perfect to enjoy with beer. The area within Escon called Nanatsuboshi Shokudo has many delicious shops from famous restaurants all over the country. I've been going there continuously recently, but I never get tired of it. Thank you for the meal.

The boiled beef tendon is tender and delicious♡ The happy potatoes have a addictive texture. I also love the lemon water recommended by pitcher Uesawa✨

Draft beer and 3 skewers of grilled chicken with sauce!

I want to eat something sweet and cold. The three dessert shops on the second floor are extremely crowded. I head to a place where it's not as busy. The name of the place is Fox Smoothie. There are only about 10 people in line. I order a coffee smoothie for 740 yen. I receive a number ticket separate from the receipt and wait. When my order is ready, it feels quite heavy. The coffee smoothie is not too sweet and has a crunchy texture. The soft serve ice cream is shaped like fox ears and is deliciously crispy. I can't remember the name of this dessert, but it's perfect for a hot day.

I went to Izakaya and Pospo to get some cold drinks to take out. It was a scorching day with the sun beating down, and even the roof was open, making the heat unbearable. Cold drinks were a soothing relief. I got a Fox Smoothie and a Momi Momi Shake to go. The Fox Smoothie is coffee-flavored with ice on top. The Momi Momi Shake comes in two flavors, orange and peach, and I chose the peach flavor. The Momi Momi Shake is a frozen shake that you melt from the outside of the container as you drink it. These drinks were perfect in the scorching heat.

Today was the second open roof day, and the stadium roof was open. The sun, which had been hidden by clouds in the morning, was shining brightly by the time the game started, with merciless rays hitting our faces. It was so hot... I remember someone saying in a TV commercial that curry is perfect for summer, and spicy food seems good for the body on hot days. So, I aimed for the "Stamina Manju Curry" for lunch at Nana Star Alley. Normally crowded, Nana Star Alley seemed a bit empty that day... I waited in line for about 5 minutes and was able to place my order. I decided to take the curry back to my seat and eat it under the scorching sun. The Stamina Manju Curry costs ¥880, and it comes with a valuable sunny-side-up egg and grilled meat on top. The effort to source eggs from Hokkaido, which faced an egg shortage, to maintain the menu is commendable. The curry is spicy, and although it may feel a bit hot at first, the heat doesn't linger, making it easy to eat. The sunny-side-up egg was cooked just right, with a moist and soft yolk, and the grilled meat was tender. Eating curry while sweating under the sun is the best; it enhances the deliciousness. After finishing it in one go, I thought to myself, "Curry is a drink." If only the Fighters had won, but unfortunately, they lost by one point. Thank you for the meal.

The motsu (offal) stew at Escon's Seven Star Diner is perfect for snacking and really delicious. I keep coming back for more. They also have Ice KIRIN Lemon Sour available, which is hard to find at Escon. When I feel like having a Lemon Sour, I buy it here. (Escon is known for their strong Lemon Sours.) They also have thick-cut potatoes with a honey butter-like powder sprinkled on top, which makes for a great snack.

I was able to go on an away game trip to Escon Field for the Nippon Ham Fighters vs. Hanshin Tigers interleague game. The stadium was attractive and the food options were great. I couldn't resist the looks and bought it even though it was the 8th inning. It melted a bit by the time I got back to my seat, haha. It was very filling and heavy. It had a satisfying volume and was a dish with a lot of substance. It was delicious, thank you for the meal!
