This is a somewhat old review. On November 22nd, which is "Good Couple's Day," my partner and I decided to go out for drinks after work on Friday. This was my second visit to this restaurant, so I'll keep this review brief. The menu had changed slightly since my last visit. The most delicious dish this time was the simmered tripe. It was served in a small pot, bubbling hot, and remained warm until the end, very tasty. Next was the steamed chicken and vegetables (I forgot the exact name). The chicken was tender with a rich flavor, and the vegetables were flavorful and sweet, with the lemon adding a nice touch of acidity. The potato fry didn't taste as good as last time, and the hokke and oyster fry were a bit small, which was a bit disappointing. The restaurant is small, and the staff were busy chatting with regulars or doing dishes in the back, so you have to speak up when ordering. I noticed that regulars brought babies, making the atmosphere cozy. Sometimes it's nice to relax and drink at a place like this without worrying about time. Thank you for the meal.

In early September on a Saturday, I attended a family gathering at a facility on behalf of my parents who were unable to attend. After the event, my husband and I drove to the facility to visit my mother's brother (my uncle) who was staying there. We then continued on to Chitose Airport with my husband driving. To show my appreciation for my husband, we decided to dine out the following Sunday evening and found this restaurant through a search on Tabelog. Upon arrival a little before 6 o'clock, we found one group of regular customers already relaxing at the counter and in the private rooms. We were welcomed by the landlady standing at the counter, who offered us a choice of sitting at the counter or in the private room. We chose the private room (not a sunken kotatsu table). We looked at the menu and ordered various dishes including sashimi, small plates, and the specialty of the house, "robata-yaki" dishes. The first dish served was a delightful surprise - grated daikon with salmon roe on top. The salmon roe was fresh with small, thin-skinned, and deliciously salty pearls. The other dishes were a mix of izakaya and kappo cuisine, with standout items like the grilled "Sohachi Karei" which was crispy on the outside and tender and flavorful on the inside. The octopus skewers were perfectly cooked, with a chewy yet tender texture. Though slightly salty, it paired well with alcohol. We started with beer but ended up drinking sake throughout the meal, and got quite (or rather, very) drunk. Despite the lingering summer heat, we decided to end the night with a craving for "Baraz's soft serve ice cream," but since we didn't have a "Dokodemo Door" handy, we settled for ice cream mochi from a nearby supermarket and stumbled our way back home. The sake was reasonably priced at 450 yen per glass (only 550 yen for Hakkaisan), and we enjoyed a satisfying meal and drinks for just a little over 8000 yen. At one point, a group of 14 suddenly arrived, causing a bit of chaos for the chef, landlady, and a young male staff member who were managing the place. However, the service up to that point was attentive and impeccable. The restaurant had a nostalgic Showa-era atmosphere, and I thought to myself, "It's nice to relax and enjoy drinks in a place like this." The restaurant is conveniently located, just under a 10-minute walk from home and close to Sumikawa Station on the subway line. I will definitely visit again! Thank you for the wonderful meal. (Note: I love sake but I'm not an expert, so these are just my personal notes on the sake we tried) - Kuni Maresuke Koroshi: A sharp and dry sake - Fukushi: Spicy yet rounded, pairs well with sashimi - Oyama Chokaraguchi: Crisp and dry - Tobiirizumi: Slightly dry and rounded, easy to drink.

I heard a rumor from Takasaki City in Gunma Prefecture and came to try the delicious cuisine from the northern lands! It was amazing. The lovely mama-san and the fun regular customers make this a wonderful restaurant. It's a great place where locals from Sapporo gather.

Six people visited the restaurant. There were about eight customers in total, with a counter, a raised table, and four large private rooms for up to twenty people. There are various menus available, including delicious seafood and a la carte dishes. I want to go back to this restaurant again.

This is a restaurant that has been serving charcoal-grilled dishes in Susukawa for a long time. I visited for the first time in about 8 years. I had sashimi, scallops with butter, grilled whole fish, seasonal mountain vegetable tempura, chawanmushi, and ordered torimen as a finishing dish. Everything was delicious with a genuine and solid workmanship. In particular, the seasoning of torimen was delicate and elegant. The mountain vegetable tempura was incredibly fresh and not something you can easily find. The atmosphere of the restaurant was cozy and felt like a family-run place, which was nice. The sake was reasonably priced at 420 yen per glass, but it would be great if they had a better selection of shochu and sour drinks. Overall, for around 3000 yen, it felt like a good deal and I was very satisfied.

I was led into a room with an interesting setup. It seems like when there are a lot of people, you can help yourself to beer from the tap. The food was initially prepared for the number of people, but more dishes kept coming out on large plates. The taste was also hit or miss. We were pushed out of the restaurant by the lady in charge after exactly 2 hours, even though there didn't seem to be a line waiting. The atmosphere at the counter was nice, but I doubt I'll ever go back there.

When I go to Hokkaido, I always make sure to visit this place. The highlight here is definitely the adorable female owner (*^-^*) As a result, the counter seats are always full of regular customers. There are also tatami rooms, but the restaurant is not very spacious. The cute owner often strikes up a conversation, making it a very enjoyable time. Hokkaido does not disappoint!! The seafood is incredibly fresh. The specialty robatayaki, with grilled saury, is excellent (´艸｀) It's a shame you can't see it being grilled right in front of you... Other than that, the grilled pork, instead of chicken, is delicious. The restaurant is quite old but it is well maintained and cleaned!

All the dishes were generous in portion size.
