The entrance was cluttered with shoes, and when asked if we should take off our shoes before entering, we were told to please take off our shoes. They were running out of rice, so we ordered pasta instead. We had originally planned to order pasta, so we ordered Peperoncino, Spicy Bolognese, and Devil's Red Pasta. First, the Spicy Potatoes were brought to us. They were long and spicy. Next came the Peperoncino and Spicy Bolognese. The Peperoncino was normal, but the Spicy Bolognese had a lot of meat and was extremely spicy. We were the only customers, but even after we finished eating, the Devil's Red Pasta was not brought to us. Maybe they made them in the wrong order? We chatted while drinking the Ginger Ale that came with the pasta. The Iced Coffee was like a slightly sweet bottled coffee, and they didn't ask if we needed milk or syrup. In the end, the Devil's Red Pasta was the most delicious. It was like a tomato soup pasta, not spicy at all, so don't worry. I felt that all three pasta dishes lacked a bit of saltiness. Coming at night and ordering multiple appetizers to go with drinks might be a good idea.

In April 2023, I visited a new bar in Teppu, Otaru City, which felt like a secret base. The location is on the slope known as "Umayanokozaka" near Yunohana, with a parking lot next to the store. The young owner came from Nagoya four years ago and now operates mainly here in Otaru. You can enjoy sake during the day, and besides sake, they also serve pasta. This time, I tried the Genovese pasta (800 yen) with a soft drink included. The pasta had a slightly firm texture with a chewy feel, showing some creativity in the way it was cooked. The sauce had a good balance of garlic and finely chopped pine nuts (with a texture like potatoes), adding a nice accent. The saltiness was quite subtle, making it a surprisingly authentic Genovese dish. The recommended pasta is apparently the "Devil's Red Pasta," which is not spicy but more like a tomato-based sauce. Although they currently do not have a lunch menu, they plan to introduce it in the future. They also occasionally offer seafood caught at the nearby Takashima fishing port and plan to serve barbecue in the summer with tables outside for guests to enjoy the view of the sea. Additionally, they offer paid accommodation (1,000 yen) for those who come by car and want to stay overnight after drinking. This makes it possible for people from outside Otaru to enjoy a drink here with like-minded friends. With Yunohana nearby for bathing and sauna, this seems like an interesting place, and I look forward to what they have in store for the future!
