I ordered the 120-minute all-you-can-drink course with draft beer (1,700 yen), one pickled eggplant (350 yen), one dried squid (600 yen), and a table charge (500 yen), totaling 3,150 yen. The restaurant is located on the second floor of a building where the famous Genghis Khan restaurant Shirokuma is on the first floor. I had high expectations based on other reviews mentioning the friendly and entertaining conversations with the owner, and it was true! Even as a first-time visitor, I was warmly greeted and enjoyed the all-you-can-drink experience until the end. The owner's gentle demeanor and engaging conversation made the experience pleasant. The draft beer included in the all-you-can-drink menu was Sapporo Classic, which was of high quality and delicious. I had eaten too much for lunch, so I couldn't eat much at the restaurant, resulting in a cheaper bill of 3,150 yen, which I felt bad about. The pricing of the dishes seemed too low, but the cost performance was excellent. Next time, I want to try the recommended dishes like the special Zangi (600 yen) and broccoli and egg salad (520 yen) on an empty stomach. Thank you for a fun evening. Itadakimasu!

After working hard, it's time for a reward meal in Susukino! I was taken to Shukokomichi, an izakaya called "Habu-san Joyful Sakana Koji." It's a stylish place with a nice atmosphere, not your typical izakaya. The all-you-can-drink option is cheap and includes a perfect classic option - the beer was so good! The food was left up to the regular customers we were with, and everything was delicious. The open kitchen allows you to see Habu-san cooking, which adds a lively feel to the place. The food, especially the meat, was juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned - I want to eat it again! The special zangi was also incredibly tasty, a definite repeat order. The conversations with Habu-san were enjoyable, making it a great dining experience. They are open until 6 am, so it's perfect for late-night drinks. We tried a cocktail called Cocarero, not on the all-you-can-drink menu, and had a great time toasting with it. However, after two drinks, I was done for the night. But the Cocarero looked great for photos! I will definitely visit again - the food was delicious. Thank you for the meal! ♥

I used to come here often, but I came back after a long time! It's great that they're open until 6 am ♡ I started drinking from midnight after finishing work on this day (lol) Even though it had been a while since I last visited, they remembered me (˘ω˘) They were kind enough to switch my drink when I exceeded the all-you-can-drink price! I think I stayed until around 4 am, but I don't think I was charged extra for staying longer (。´･ω･) The counter seats are the main seats and the interior is bright and clean! It's easy to come alone ♡ I like classic beer (*'ω'*) Anyway, you should try the Zangi! It's crispy with a lot of starch. It has a punch with garlic and ginger (°ω°) I love it! The cheese tofu is like a dessert, but it's great with wasabi as a drinking snack. This was also delicious (о´∀`о) Since you can tell how good Wataru-chan's personality is just by talking to him, it makes me want to come back again! It seems tough to operate for long hours, but I hope he doesn't get sick. Thank you for the meal ♡

Sapporo nights are decided here. Delicious food and a good atmosphere. Open until morning, with affordable prices and tasty dishes. Since it's mainly counter seating, it's best to go with close friends. You must try the specialty Zangi!

This is a shop that I got hooked on during my first visit. A female staff member at my favorite bar recommended it to me and gave me the owner's business card. Several months have passed since then, and one after another, my friends who visit regularly have given it high praise. It's a shop located right below a popular izakaya where my friend often goes. The interior of the shop is similar to the izakaya in the same building. The menu doesn't have anything particularly special written on it, but the actual dishes are really good! The shop is open until morning, and it is very clean and has a good quality of food with reasonable prices. The owner is very friendly, and has experience in Western cuisine. They also have special menu items depending on the day. This time, I was recommended the grilled beef tongue steak made from a whole cow tongue they had purchased. I didn't ask about the price and just ordered it. When it came time to pay, I felt like it wasn't that expensive. I also ordered the dried squid for 600 yen, the changja for 400 yen, and the pickled eggplant for 350 yen. The eggplant was particularly well-prepared, with a light flavor and good texture that I really liked. The changja was also quite good, and I ended up having it with rice. My companions also seemed to enjoy it, so I definitely want to come back again.

Revisited for the third time. Both the previous and subsequent customers were zero, so the management is tough due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The restaurant is struggling to survive with few regular customers, so I hope they can hang in there. The atmosphere is nice and the prices are reasonable. The food is also delicious! If I had to ask for more, it would be great if they had some exclusive dishes that you can only try at this restaurant. Sangi Zangi with potato chips is delicious here. It's juicy with a strong garlic flavor. Sometimes you just crave for some potato chips (lol). The freshly fried ones are undeniably tasty. They also served shiso edamame as a snack! I haven't been out for drinks lately, but I would like to visit again when things settle down. Thank you for the meal!

The third stop on the ladder drinking tour was a new place called "Haba" that I visited for the first time. The clean and bright interior had a sense of cleanliness and was a cozy counter-style bar where you could easily come alone. I recommend the "Chicken Zangi (5-6 pieces) for 550 yen." The juicy and tender chicken meat is delicious. If you're hungry, you could easily eat six pieces by yourself. The shiso-pickled edamame and pickles are also great snacks to accompany your drinks. I had to laugh at the freshly fried potato chips! In the end, they're just potato chips, right? But they make a good snack with alcohol. Surprisingly, they had Yamazaki Non-Age whiskey available. I had a highball, and it was delicious as always. I'll definitely use this place for my next first round of drinks. The owner is a young and friendly person, so it seems like a good place to casually enjoy a drink alone. Thank you for the meal.

It's a beautiful building from the outside, but it's actually an izakaya... Really? I enter the elevator and when I get off, I see a row of adult drinking establishments. At the back, a neon sign proudly displays "izakaya". Through the glass door, I can see the stylish interior of the restaurant. It looks more like a bar or a bistro... It's fancy. The open kitchen is surrounded by an L-shaped counter. The friendly owner welcomes me with a smile and I quickly order a highball. The thick menma appetizer is delicious. I was already full when I entered, but I can't help but be curious about the main dishes... Kind waitress fries up 2 pieces for me. The crispy and juicy chicken karaage is seasoned gently. It goes perfectly with the highball. The freshly fried potato chips catch my attention. The smell of potatoes fills the air as they fry. The crispy potato chips are the best. The smoked cheese cream with cream cheese, green onion yakitori, and broccoli and egg salad are all delicious. The salad with mustard mayo dressing is a nice touch. They occasionally have fresh fish, so I decided to try the sashimi. The firm texture was enjoyable. The place has a casual atmosphere, but the variety of delicious dishes makes it an interesting izakaya. It seems like they will be expanding their whiskey selection in the future. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Located at 3 Nanrokujonishi, Joyful Sakana Koji 2F, this new restaurant opened in February. The seating consists of an L-shaped counter and two tables for two, and the interior is quite clean and appealing to women. They are open until morning, making it a good option for late-night dining. They offer all-you-can-drink options, including Perfect Classic for 1500 yen, which is great news for beer lovers. They also have a wide variety of wines and sake from the local Kobayashi Brewery in Kurayama. The food menu is Zangi-focused, with juicy and delicious options. There are some off-menu items available, so it's worth asking. Personally, I recommend the one-pickled eggplant, which tastes like fruit, and the fried potato salad goes well with beer. The owner is very friendly and engaging, making it a pleasant place to visit alone. Despite opening during the difficult times of the pandemic, the owner's personality makes you want to support the restaurant. I will definitely visit again!

Counter main shop. There are also two 2-seat table seats. The owner is easy to talk to and makes for a great atmosphere, haha. It's a fun and cozy place (*´▽｀*). All-you-can-drink including draft beer for 2 hours is 1500 yen. You can enjoy a perfect classic drink. There is a minimum order of 2 items, but there are also many menu items in the 250 to 300 yen range. All the dishes are delicious and beautifully presented. The interior is also clean, and you can tell they put a lot of care into everything. After drinking beer continuously and feeling full, when I was unsure what to do next, they made a cocktail tailored to my taste. It was incredibly delicious. The all-you-can-drink with 3 appetizers included is also a great deal with a coupon. It was a restaurant that had a perfect combination of delicious drinks, tasty food, and a bright and easy-to-talk-to owner! Thank you for the meal! (*´▽｀*)

I went to Susukino. The restaurant I wanted to go to was closed, so I came to this place called "Haba" nearby. There were two customers before me. It's like a snack bar where the customers surround the owner at the counter. The owner is a nice person, looking like a dad or maybe "Haba-chan"? He's a really nice guy! I'll have a highball, please! The food is prepared by just one person, so we left it to the flow and ordered whatever looked delicious based on Haba-chan's recommendations. The appetizer was boiled eggs. We usually get half each, but this time they brought us an extra 3 eggs! They were just right, and it seems like we can expect good cooking skills here. Haba-chan is in a good mood, getting along with everyone. Even though he's in high spirits, his hands never stop preparing the food. The pickled eggplant, Chanja mixed with cheese, and potato salad were all delicious! Especially the Zangi was so tender and tasty! We also received a delicious salmon collar and Chanja as a service, and I couldn't help but have some rice with it. This is a place I want to cherish. Thank you for the meal!

This is a GotoEat eligible restaurant!! You can also make reservations instantly ♡ It's a restaurant with a popular soup curry and Italian cuisine, run by the handsome and friendly owner Haba-chan. Despite the tough sales due to the COVID-19 pandemic, they are working hard and it's a place worth supporting. The interior exudes a Western atmosphere with a cleanliness that doesn't feel like an izakaya ✨ The open kitchen at the counter brings you close to the owner!! They are open from 6 pm to 6 am, so you can go without worrying about the time (´｡･u･｡)ﾉ All-you-can-drink is 1500 yen!! It's a rare place where you can enjoy Perfect Classic drinks ( •̀ω•́ )✧ Since the owner is from Kurayama, they have a selection of sake from Kobayashi Shuzo ☻ Fried potato salad 550 yen ☻ Chicken zangi 550 yen ☻ Changjak cream cheese 450 yen ☻ Assorted grilled chicken ☻ Simmered yellowtail head ☻ Hirame sashimi I went there twice in a short period of time, so I'm summarizing it. The dishes, especially the zangi and fried potato salad, were incredibly delicious!! I want you to try them without saying anything (lol) They also recommend dishes available that day, and they will make it if they have the ingredients٩( 'ω' )و When I went there the first time, a customer brought in a yellowtail they caught, so they served simmered yellowtail head. The second time, it was flounder sashimi ♡ They also split the zangi onto plates, and gave us a specific number, which was very thoughtful!! Just go and meet Haba-chan, I highly recommend it!! Thank you for the meal ( ･ᴗ･ )⚐⚑⚐

Joyful Sakana Koji on the 2nd floor seems to be a favorite spot for the reviewer's gay friends, as they visited two days in a row! Despite being called an izakaya, the interior is stylish and has a calm atmosphere without any old-fashioned vibes. The all-you-can-drink option is only 1500 yen for 120 minutes, and they even offer Perfect Classic cocktails at that price! The reviewer enjoyed the 500 yen appetizer, a half-boiled seasoned egg with delicious broth. The food menu consists of typical izakaya dishes, and the reviewer particularly liked the crispy and fragrant sweet potato salad. The owner, who is described as friendly and handsome, made sure the food was served conveniently. Overall, it was a great dining experience for the reviewer and their friends.

I fell asleep at a certain izakaya, then came here. The place has a cozy atmosphere with a counter in a 'C' shape and a few small tables for two. It's new and clean. The complimentary menma was delicious. They were preparing fresh flounder, but I fell asleep again... so I didn't eat it. I only had water to drink... Sorry. I'll try again. I was lying down at the counter, but I didn't fall off. It was comfortable to sleep. Thank you for the meal.
