Otaru solo drinking third stop? I will visit "Otaru Yataimura Brick Yokochi" ... I forgot the name of the previous store that was recommended to me (I'm getting old). There were other places I wanted to go, but they were full ... I wandered aimlessly and ended up at "WE CAN". The counter was manned by a middle-aged lady, and it was a "Canned Food BAR" operated by the canning company "Hokkai Seikan". They serve drinks in cans, and I tried the "Kikusui Ichiban Shibori" sake since I already had beer. It was my first time trying it, and it was a sweet sake. The alcohol here is all canned products available for 300-400 yen, with some luxury items priced at over 10,000 yen. You can choose from three types of canned food, and I decided on the "Salmon Belly Canned Food". They provide a small solid fuel stove to warm up the canned food in front of you, and it heats up just right without boiling, making the salmon belly soft and delicious when heated. I ended up chatting with the lady at the counter and another customer, an old man, and had a fun time drinking until just before closing time. With 5-6 drinks, the bill came to 2,900 yen. I staggered onto the bus back to Sapporo and made it home safely without missing my stop. It's a cheap and convenient place for a quick drink. Thank you for the meal!

Welcome! ┌¬o”＊ ＊ ＊ 2014.12 ↓Located in the Inaho district arcade in Otaru City, there is a new store that hasn't been visited in about 6 years at the Otaru Yataimura Brick Alley. A small store with a dining-style counter in a warm atmosphere, with a lot of canned bar-like interior on the walls. It is a small shop, almost like an antenna shop directly operated by the Hokkai Seikan canning factory. You can eat canned food that flows from here to the supermarket at almost the same price. Looking at the menu, from drinks to cans! If you're into cans, this might be the place for a Kirin Ichiban Frozen! To start off, the menu features a canned saury kabayaki, and the canned food on the menu seems to be unique to Otaru. I was hesitant about the highly recommended assortment, but how many times did I nod in agreement... I thought I might have strained my neck the next morning thinking about it. The crab can for 16,000 yen was opened only once!! Although they were making a lot of noise in the back, I wondered if they were preparing the recommended assortment. As I listened to the BGM, James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" played endlessly, and it fit the atmosphere so well that I didn't even notice it. Even the staff didn't know that. When the assortment plate arrived, I couldn't help but exclaim, "What kind of magic is this from canned food?" When I saw the breakdown, it said "Corn butter sauté, kinkaku simmered, canned saury, canned saury with butterbur, white asparagus, boiled azuki beans that transformed into corned beef, which is a high-end product from the "Canned Tsuma" series. The corned beef is like Yukhoe... smoother and creamier than the taste of that corned beef, perfect for crackers. The kinkaku also adds a nice flavor to it. They showed me the canned food, and I think the company in Hokkaido that made it was called "Yotaka." The canned saury with butterbur, as well as licking the kinkaku, can cause burns. It might be the best sake accompaniment. I wanted some rice, but it's not canned... They made a crab salad with today's canned crab, saying "When you make it into a salad, it doesn't smell like canned food and you're already used to the taste." If you think you're used to the taste of crab, the crab shell is still delicious. The corn butter sauté didn't make any noise, so it seems like a simple job of putting butter on corn and heating it. Still, it's very much appreciated. You can also enjoy a salad that you can eat heartily, from appetizers to salad mains, thanks to the skills and knowledge of the staff, creating the ultimate canned paradise. With a grape in hand, I was already quite drunk, but let's keep that between us. Canned food is the best~~~!! Thank you for the meal.

There is a food stall village in Otaru that is always crowded every time I go, and I'm not really willing to wait in line to get in, but I always end up wandering around because it piques my curiosity. I saw only one group of customers ahead of me, so I decided to try a shop that had available seating. The walls were lined with canned goods, and I found out that the shop was run by the people from the Hokkai Seikan canning factory. I had just been wandering around the canal and had seen the canning factory, so we had a lot to talk about. I don't usually eat canned food, but it made for a good snack. I ordered some fish and other things I had never tried before. I had already been drinking elsewhere, so I couldn't really taste the food properly. I had a couple of canned chu-hi drinks while chatting with a new waitress who was on her first day of work. I left feeling a bit tipsy on my way home.
