Located just a 3-minute walk from Kita 24-jo Station on the Sapporo Municipal Subway Namboku Line, this restaurant is where I visited around 9 p.m. on this day. I found a seat at the counter since it was available. I put my belongings in the basket under the seat and first ordered a drink. Then, I had to decide on what to eat, and there were various options to choose from which made it hard to decide. After some thought, I ordered oden (daikon radish, tofu, tsukune skewers), tako karaage, motsu-nikomi, and skewers (chicken skewers, pork skewers, pork wrapped in pickled ginger). The food was served quickly, and I was able to enjoy it promptly. First, the oden. It had a refreshing broth, and the daikon was very tender. The tsukune skewers had a good texture and were quite delicious. Next, I tried the tako karaage. It came with cabbage and mayonnaise. The octopus was fluffy and juicy, and it paired well with alcohol. Then, I had the motsu-nikomi. The motsu (offal) was tender, and it was cooked with carrots, konnyaku, chopped green onions, daikon, burdock, etc. It had a soy sauce-based seasoning with a hint of sourness. The chicken and pork skewers were a bit small but the meat was tender and tasty. Despite eating all this, I was pleasantly surprised by the very reasonable bill. It seems like a good place for a casual drink, so I recommend it to all the office workers out there. Thank you for the meal.
