I went to the restaurant at 5:30 PM on a weekday and found no customers. When I asked for the all-you-can-drink option, they said it's for a minimum of 3 people, so I decided to order a drink. I was shocked to see that a draft beer was priced at 650 yen and served in a small 280ml glass. The menu prices for other items were around 1000 yen each, with sashimi at 2500 yen, seared liver at 900 yen, and a small grilled hokke fish appetizer at almost 500 yen per piece. The quality of the food was not fresh, with a slight fishy smell in the sashimi and liver, and the hokke dish was also lacking in flavor. The restaurant seemed to be aiming for a high-end atmosphere but the decor and lighting felt mismatched and more like a casual dining place. I left after only 1.5 hours, and even then, there were only a few customers in the restaurant. I ended up paying nearly 12,000 yen for two people. I would recommend trying a chain restaurant or exploring other options for better value and taste. Thank you.

I went on a business trip to Obihiro. It's hard to find open restaurants during the pandemic, so finding a place to eat is tough. After wandering around for a while, I found Tsuru Sumi. It's a place that's open and not too crowded, which makes me want to try it. It's a challenge to find a place like this! I only have 10 minutes left to order alcohol. I quickly chug a beer! Then I order another beer and 3 cups of sake at once! It's allowed here, that's great! I ordered some rare black tofu, herring skewers, and the usual dish! It's hard to order grilled fish when dining alone, so I appreciate the skewers! The firm and flavorful herring was amazing. The drunken whale and oysters were also delicious. I'm grateful to the restaurant for working hard even with shortened hours! Thank you for the meal!

First visit ✨ When I saw the font and atmosphere of the restaurant's name, I had the impression that it was 【luxurious】, 【spacious】, 【intimidating】, or 【complicated】. However, the background music was playing enka music, the restaurant was not that spacious, and there were unique grilled fish skewers, with three types of highballs available. It was unexpectedly amusing 😂 I love dishes like octopus heads, and the grilled fish skewers come with one whole fish, so it might be worth a try! ✨

I visited the charcoal grill restaurant Tsuru Sumi for the first time! It was a long time since I had a night out in the city. I made a reservation and arrived a bit late, but they kindly waited for me without starting the meal. The restaurant is not very spacious, with dim lighting creating a moody atmosphere. I started with a cold Asahi Super Dry beer, which was refreshing on a hot day. We ordered a variety of dishes, including a sashimi platter, simmered eggplant, pork wiener skewers, salmon skewers, seared mackerel, rolled omelette, soy sauce-marinated long yam from Tokachi, homemade pickles, and a mystery dish. The appetizer of cold shrimp mayo was particularly delicious. The standout dish was the grilled fish skewers, with salmon and mackerel served on a skewer, which was a unique and tasty combination. The overall food quality was above average, with a good balance of variety. We had a great time drinking and eating, and it was a good night out.

It's June, so... excuse needed. "Tsuru Sumi" hmmm, the concept of the restaurant was not very clear. Second stop, on Saturday, my wife was working, I went to Kushiro alone and picked up a little. I returned aiming for my wife's return time, and we prepared for the mountain climbing trip. It seems like we will be heading towards Lake Shikaribetsu for the climb, so instead of camping nearby, we booked accommodation in Obihiro. My wife hasn't been drinking in Obihiro for almost a year, so she seemed really excited, not sure which is the main focus. Even for me, it's been a while since I drank in Obihiro, and I haven't been drinking anywhere else lately. So far, no one from the company has gone out, and I'm starting to feel more and more like I can't be the first one to go out. So, in preparation for the mountain climbing tomorrow, we can't drink heavily, so it will probably be late and end after two stops. My wife will choose the second stop from her notes. I like the counter, so I chose a place with a nice counter. The exterior looks fancy, and the interior is also new. There are private rooms at the back, it seems. First, we had some beer. It's small, but as a drinker, it disappeared quickly. I ordered sake. I had Masumi, my wife doesn't remember. It looked very similar to Nagano and Nara sake. It was not good for me, tasted like water. We ordered sashimi from Matsukawa. The appearance doesn't appeal much, and the taste seems to be lacking in freshness. We ordered pork belly skewers, mackerel skewers, herring skewers, and saba skewers. It's rare to see fish skewers. If you don't make them well, they become strange. The pork skewers cost 200 yen, so they look cost-effective. You can see that they are frozen, and the taste also seems affected by that. The grilled fish skewers were very nicely done, and they looked good. They were decent to eat. The menu didn't have many appealing items, and the unclear concept made it hard to know what they specialize in. It felt kind of a waste. There were no customers on Saturday night. I've been worried about the procurement and storage of ingredients because of the state of emergency. How much should we procure, how much should we thaw, how long should we keep it frozen, and how should we dispose of it? When you think about those things, you have to consider them without bias. The quality of the ingredients is something that needs to be taken into account. The lack of clarity in the concept is a separate issue. The owner is a nice person, and the staff is also very good. The girls are nice too. Keep up the good work. It might be good to think a little more about the menu composition. Of course, it's unnecessary advice, but my wife also said, "It was kind of lacking, but I want them to do well, so I'll give it a 3.5." I agree.

The best restaurant I visited for the first time as a pre-birth celebration for the genius vocal trainer and newlywed wife. The place was perfect - great food, great ambiance, great people, and great drinks. Everything seems to go well for me. There were four men and women with kids also joining. The staff even gave us a cute picture as a gift. The vocal trainer is a genius because my vocal skills improved significantly after taking lessons from him at the age of 45. Despite already having a good voice, face, and sense of style, I am grateful for the talent that has blossomed. Debuting is difficult due to high demand, but many are eager for it, so it seems inevitable. The teacher has produced many professionals and has a talent that is unmatched, but the beautiful new wife seemed to be special. I also want to drink a Kyoho grape sour.

There are not only skewers, but also various other snacks and dishes to go with alcohol ✧*｡٩(ˊωˋ*)و✧*｡ I wish I could have taken more photos...

This is a izakaya located in the center of the bustling district of Obihiro City. The location is convenient and easily accessible. I ordered charcoal-grilled chicken and beer, and the meat was juicy and tender, very delicious. They have a wide variety of drinks, which is perfect. Charcoal-grilled dishes are truly irresistible. I definitely want to visit again in the future.
