I always feel good when I come here (^◇^) I indulged a bit and chose the lunch limited omakase course and the seasonal colorful bento box. The lunch bentos here never disappoint, the flavors are quite sophisticated and elegant. It might not satisfy those used to junk food flavors! The clientele is also of high quality, so you can enjoy a luxurious lunch in an elegant atmosphere. Good food aside, I realize I'm also spending money on a lovely environment and a luxurious time. Once again, I left feeling great. Thank you very much!

Hangetsu Kaikan is a long-established traditional Japanese restaurant in Asahikawa. It has recently been renovated and the new building looks very beautiful. I had a bento box and all the dishes such as sashimi and tempura were delicious. The chawanmushi (steamed egg custard) and pudding were also tasty. The restaurant is spacious and suitable for kaiseki meals and banquets. I would love to visit again if I have the chance.

A newly opened restaurant, Hanagetsu Kaikan, which Asahikawa citizens dearly loved, has been transformed into a place where you can enjoy kaiseki cuisine. We enjoyed the kaiseki course for 7,700 yen, which included: seasonal appetizers, a variety of fresh sashimi, tempura, simmered dishes, grilled fish, sushi, miso soup, and seasonal dessert. The service was top-notch, with dishes being served at just the right intervals. The lineup of sake was also impressive, making it enjoyable to choose the perfect drink to complement the kaiseki cuisine. This is truly a first-class restaurant.

The beloved Hanazuki-san, which had closed down, is now back in business. The staff is welcoming and the atmosphere is nostalgic. The menu offers traditional bento boxes like "Kabuto Bento" and "Shokado Bento". The staff is attentive and the food is reminiscent of the old Hanazuki-san. The restaurant is not too crowded, allowing for a leisurely lunch experience. The Shokado Bento is visually appealing and the taste is familiar and comforting. Overall, it was a nostalgic and enjoyable lunch experience at the revived Hanazuki-san.

The central area of Asahikawa City, the "Kagetsu Kaikan" which closed in 2017, is now back in business. The interior of the restaurant is very beautiful, with a central kitchen surrounded by a counter and table seats. There is also a bar counter on the right side of the entrance. The menu offers lunch and dinner options like course meals, bento boxes, and set meals, along with a variety of wines and sake. I tried the "Ume Kaishi" lunch course and ordered a Sapporo Classic beer. The dishes were served at a good pace, starting with a vinegar miso dish, followed by a sashimi platter, steamed dish, tempura, sushi, clam soup, and homemade pudding for dessert. The service was friendly, and the overall experience was enjoyable. The revival of Kagetsu Kaikan in Asahikawa is a welcome addition to the dining scene in the city.

The long-awaited Hangetsu-kaikan has been revived. The regular customers have taken their seats, enjoying their favorite Japanese dishes. It's truly wonderful to see everyone having a good time, almost as if their worries about the recession, infectious diseases, and sinking hearts are being healed. During lunchtime, there are nine different set menus available. It seems like the desire to offer high-quality food at a reasonable price is being conveyed. However, the true value of this restaurant is tested at night. Let's fully enjoy the beautiful ensemble of Japanese cuisine on a moonlit night.

The beer foam was finely textured and at the perfect temperature even in the afternoon! I had a Kabuto bento box with a variety of delicious side dishes, which left me feeling satisfied and full. I would love to try their kaiseki (traditional multi-course) meal next time. The atmosphere of the restaurant was elegant and refined, and the staff were courteous and made the dining experience enjoyable. Thank you very much!

Dad is a newcomer to Asahikawa, so I decided to delve into a bit of history. The popular entertainment district in Asahikawa, Sanroku, used to have a venue called Kagekikai Hall, which closed down a few years ago. Established in 1907, the company operated under the name "Kagekikai Hall," specializing in venue management for banquets, weddings, and ceremonies, as well as running restaurants. With a long history in the industry, the company was well-known in the community. However, in November 2017, the company went bankrupt and the court ordered bankruptcy proceedings. Recently, a local construction-related company successfully reopened the venue. The building has been renovated with a chic entrance and a large curtain. Upon entering, guests are greeted with a spacious entrance and beautiful flowers to celebrate the reopening. The first floor features a tempura counter, a bar counter, and different sections for sushi and tempura. The second floor offers tatami seating, private rooms, and VIP rooms. The menu is on the pricier side but promises high-quality dishes. The reopening has attracted a lot of customers, and the restaurant has been featured in the local newspaper, contributing to the revitalization of Asahikawa. I ordered a tempura bowl, which was served by a waiter with a brief explanation from the chef. The tempura consisted of shrimp, scallops, and white fish, each with its own unique flavor. Despite being smaller and thinner than expected, the tempura was made with high-quality ingredients and was delicious. I accidentally poured the soup over the rice, but it turned out to be a delightful mistake. The rice was cooked perfectly, and the tempura soaked in the soup was a dynamic and satisfying combination. Overall, the meal was elegant and enjoyable, with a sophisticated atmosphere and excellent service.

Each dish in the course was delicious. I could feel the care and dedication of the chef and kitchen staff in every bite.
