All-you-can-drink for 5000 yen. Today's third stop for drinks is at the Japanese izakaya Marunosekiguchi. We made a reservation for 8 people and requested a private room, which costs an additional 300 yen per person. The sashimi platter, boiled pork shabu-shabu salad, fried chicken, uni mayo, shrimp chili, sushi, dessert, and drinks including sake were all delicious. The service was excellent, and the private room was spacious and relaxing.

@Asahikawa City [Japanese Izakaya Marunisekiguchi] @tasogarehotaru's second stop was here, as they wanted to enjoy a sip of sake! They drank #takachiyo59 #Miyamanishiki and had #Shiretoko Jidori Zangi. The shop has a unique atmosphere with exceptional customer service from the manager.

Urgent stairs lead up to a slightly dim, cozy atmosphere in this very stylish restaurant. The dishes are beautifully illuminated by downlights in the center of the tables, making them look delicious. First, I ordered the bluefin tuna and horse sashimi. The bluefin tuna had a light, not quite typical taste for bluefin tuna. The horse sashimi was incredibly delicious with no strong flavors. The pickled mackerel with ginger was a perfect match of well-pickled mackerel and ginger. The crispy fried shrimp had a crunchy coating, making it more "crispy" than "firm" as one might expect. The large shrimp was, of course, delicious. The black pepper chicken, while I'm not sure where the chicken came from, had a nice chewy texture and was quite tasty. I wouldn't mind if there was even more black pepper on it. Overall, the prices are on the higher side, but the stylish atmosphere and excellent service from the staff make dining here a pleasant experience.

End-of-year party use✲ Customer service & Atmosphere✲ The interior of the restaurant is clean and stylish, with attention to detail in the furniture and decor. The staff seemed friendly, but the drink service was a bit slow.✲ Food✲ The creative dishes were stylish and unique. The cheese and tomato chawanmushi was particularly impressive and exciting to eat. The flavors were decent, and the presentation was elegant. There was a good selection of sake, but since it was an all-you-can-drink event, I didn't get to enjoy it.✲ Summary✲ You can enjoy a casual yet stylish and elegant atmosphere.

The previous store has moved and I saw it still under preparation. I wonder what kind of shop will be opening there? The sign looks stylish. Things seem to have settled down now. I visited by making a reservation for a seat only. I was a bit hesitant about the previous interior changing, but it hasn't changed much, which is good. So, I slowly ordered some recommended dishes. The "osashi" like dish served as an appetizer was delicious with a refined broth. This makes me look forward to the rest of the meal. The restaurant was like a private room as it was empty, giving it a cozy atmosphere. The menu had some creative dishes, so I tried the boiled daikon and tuna salad. The salad had boiled daikon in the center with tuna slices on top. The daikon was light and slightly firm, while the tuna was like the one served in a sashimi platter, shining beautifully. It was nice to see them again. The taste was a bit disappointing though. The recommended red bream was not on the menu, but it was delicious. The sardines were average. The dishes with broth were very tasty. If they have a good selection of sashimi, I might visit again due to the lovely atmosphere.

I stopped by a newly opened restaurant near the izakaya I often visit. I climbed the stairs to the second floor. Upon entering the restaurant, I was greeted by a lovely display of colorful bottles wrapped in beautiful fabric, paper, and string. The counter and table seats were very stylish! They also have private rooms and party rooms, so it seems like a fun place to spend time with a small group or a larger one! I started with a "Premium Malt" beer (600 yen including tax). The appetizer was "vinegared grains" (which was quite delicious). The menu mainly consists of Japanese-style dishes, but there are also some Western-style options, offering a variety of choices. I ordered the "Roast Duck" (900 yen), which had a beautiful color. It was cooked rare and melted in my mouth, pairing well with the beer! For drinks, they have a variety of sake and shochu, but since I had already had quite a bit to drink, I opted for something light - a "Cassis Orange" cocktail (500 yen). I decided to add a unique dish and ordered the "Deep-Fried Mountain Fish" (650 yen). The crispy deep-fried mountain fish had a great texture, and the taste was delightful! There were many other interesting items on the menu that caught my eye. It's a wonderful restaurant where you can enjoy delicious food in a stylish atmosphere!

You probably think I only drink sake everywhere haha Since there wasn't much information on the menu, I decided to stop by quickly before the sake event. - AKABU Junmai Ginjo Yui no Kaori 900 yen A rich taste with a balance of sweetness and spiciness. My companion, who had been drinking heavily at back-to-back parties, wanted something light and ordered this. - Ohitashi (boiled greens) 400 yen I thought it would be spinach when I ordered, but it turned out to be watercress. But I like it this way. - Various tofu dishes 700 yen A variety of toppings on silky tofu in small dishes. Nameko mushrooms, mentaiko, green onions, natto, sanmashizuke, and grated ginger in the center. The presentation is so beautiful compared to the messy one I had at another restaurant (laughs). - Daishinshu Betsugarai Junmai Daiginjo 900 yen I prefer the straightforward sweetness of this one ♡ Even though the costs may differ, the sake is all priced the same. So I tend to choose what seems like a good deal. - Ochou Gre Grilled 800 yen I've never had gre before! It's a white fish with a firm texture and a mild, almost seabream-like taste. The chef even showed me a picture on his phone when I asked what gre looks like (laughs). Maybe it's called "gre" because it looks gray? Since there weren't many other customers, I had a nice time chatting with the staff and chef. I had limited time because of other plans, but I heard they are planning to expand their sake selection, so I would love to visit again and spend more time there. 🍶

The modern and stylish ambiance, along with the dishes, are all delicious! The taste and presentation are excellent!

The entrance of the restaurant gave off a nice vibe from the start. As I climbed the stairs, I entered a stylish, dimly lit interior where the Afro-haired manager, Mr. Yamada, greeted me with a smile. The other staff members also gave a warm welcome. Although they don't offer all-you-can-drink, you can enjoy a variety of drinks such as sake and shochu. The menu had many delicious-looking dishes, and the taste did not disappoint. The cozy atmosphere made me stay longer than planned.

Stylish but a bit pricey. Not very luxurious. Tasty. Small portions.
