I only took a photo of the Tsukune fried rice, but everything with flames here seems delicious so I feel like there are no bad choices! Personally, the staff here are all friendly and provide good service. However, it seems like they are always busy because there aren't enough of them. Thank you for the meal!

After taking a bath, I felt like eating raw tsukune, so I ordered it. In this season, the warmth of the raw tsukune soup really penetrates the body. I ordered various skewers including tsukune. The tofu salad had a bit too much tofu for one person, it seemed more like a salad for 2-3 people. The tofu and sesame dressing mixed well together, making even the firm tofu easy to eat. One of the really delicious dishes was the beef tendon with ponzu sauce. The refreshing taste of ponzu sauce paired perfectly with it. I should have ordered a portion for 2-3 people. This chain izakaya is well-known for being reasonably priced, but the skewers and raw tsukune are consistently delicious, and they have a good variety of side dishes as well. Why not try ordering some other items as well?

Vienna sausages are not on the menu. This is a charcoal izakaya restaurant, En Nishimachi Honten. The use of "Nariko" at the end of sentences may be due to the influence of the coronavirus. As a chain izakaya, they have taken measures for COVID-19. They do not offer a lunch menu, but with some creativity in menu selection and combinations, you can enjoy an izakaya-style lunch. However, the food I ordered did not quite hit the mark. The grilled skewers taste too sweet. I had high expectations for the charcoal-grilled dishes, but perhaps the issue lies with the ingredients or storage. The liver and gizzard had an unfamiliar taste, and I couldn't finish the gizzard. The oil-drizzled chicken was not as expected in terms of meat quality. I should have ordered the salted fried chicken instead. The egg over rice was decent, but not exceptional. In all honesty, the egg over rice was the best part of the meal. I ordered pork liver skewers, pork belly skewers, chicken kalbi skewers, gizzard skewers, oil-drizzled chicken, egg over rice, and tomato juice. When the bill came to around 4,000 yen, I was taken aback, but it was corrected to nearly 1,500 yen. The price is slightly on the higher side for a solo izakaya lunch without a lunch menu.

It's interesting how the same flame can produce different results at different restaurants. The beef tartare didn't taste good at all, it felt like a COVID-19 risk. The raw liver had a strong animal smell to it, not my thing. The gizzard was tough and hard to chew, it was a challenge for my aging teeth. On the other hand, the fried chicken here is delicious and the meatballs are also really good. The cheese meatballs with grated garlic are particularly tasty. The only downside is the salt sauce for the skewers, it just doesn't work well. I prefer just plain salt for the pork belly skewers. If they're using low-quality frozen meat, then maybe a sauce would be better, but otherwise, plain salt is the way to go. I will definitely stick to ordering the salt-free pork belly skewers in the future, they were delicious!

I stopped by on my way home from work and had a quick drink ♡ I wasn't very hungry that day, so I was planning to just have some light snacks like octopus pon and chanja, but I ended up ordering raw tsukune because I really wanted it. I forgot to take a picture, haha. There was a lively male staff member, and the atmosphere inside the restaurant felt very bright and cheerful. Thank you for the meal.

When it comes to eating at Enn, you have to try the nama tsukune! There are so many flavors to enjoy, that's why I love it (*´ω`)ﾉ My favorites are miso mayonnaise and whole grain mustard. I also love the natto tsukune. Let's go again soon ♡

I went to a second party! It was quite close to the station and convenient. It started at 10 o'clock on Saturday, but it wasn't that crowded. It cost 2000 yen.

Before you know it, the restaurant chain has expanded from Sapporo to Asahikawa, Obihiro, and even Tokyo... Their strength lies in their catchy and friendly signature menu item, "Nama Tsukune." It's juicy, simple, and full of the delicious flavor of meat. The "Nishimachi Store" is the first store of the charcoal grill izakaya En, established in their founding location. Perhaps the passion and determination are different here? ------------------------ [Excerpt from official website] ■ The Charm of Nama Tsukune In our own contracted chicken farm in Hokkaido, we raise young chickens for about 50 days that are perfect for tsukune, and mix in 8 kinds of spices to handcraft each one. To ensure that you can enjoy the overflowing meat juices with each bite, we give thickness to the tip of the skewer and finish it so that the largest area is the one facing your mouth. ■ The Charm of Nama Tsukune Soup In order for our customers to fully savor the deliciousness of "Nama Tsukune," we provide Nama Tsukune soup for free to all customers. Please try our "Nama Tsukune Soup," which is made by simmering chicken bones and chicken broth for 14 hours at our own factory.

High voltage (= ´∀´)ﾉ凵゛To start off, we have a plate of 5 pieces of potato salad sashimi, including "bluefin tuna, mackerel, premium fatty salmon, blowfish, and squid". Each piece is a bit small but satisfying with a light freshness, giving a sweet taste. The premium raw chicken meatball is juicy and oozing with flavor, with a soft and chewy texture filled with cartilage. The pork belly skewer is juicy and sweet with a good balance of fatty and lean meat. The yakitori skewers are all delicious, starting from the tender red meat to the crispy skin. The sauce yakisoba has a perfect combination of crunchy cabbage, chewy noodles, and a sweet-salty sauce with a touch of mayonnaise and a soft-boiled egg. Despite the challenging transportation, the restaurant was bustling with a full house by 8 pm.

Welcome. ---------- August 2016 ----------Located along the Hokkaido 5th Street In this place, the original and main store, the flame begins |o| °д°)ﾉ When you open the door with a rattling sound, the first thing you see is a taiko drum welcoming you with its sound. Nowadays, it is decorated with noise and busyness. Before being seated, you receive a hot towel and a serving of soup (= ´∀´)ﾉ凵゛ with a strong chicken broth. The staff are polite and have a smiling face when explaining the dishes and drinks. Many of them offer a choice between all-you-can-drink or single items. Starting with endless highballs (= ´∀´)ﾉ凵゛, the menu includes various chicken parts fried and seasoned with a sweet and savory flavor. The service may be slow at times, but dishes like beef tendon with ponzu sauce and chicken and eggplant sandwich tempura are popular. The yakitori skewers are served with a sweet and savory sauce that complements the meat well. The pork and chicken skewers have a crispy and juicy texture, while the heart skewers have a crunchy and satisfying taste. The salted skewers may be a bit light in flavor, but they still pair well with drinks. The grilled beef tongue with salted green onions has a crispy texture at first, followed by a strong umami flavor. The salmon, tuna, and mackerel sashimi are fresh and delicious. The five-piece assortment of skewers includes various flavors like mustard mayo, salted green onions, plum shiso, grated daikon, and cheese. The beef tartare with egg yolk and salt has a smooth texture and a perfect balance of flavors. The pork liver and beef fat skewers are rich and flavorful. The cucumber and miso mayo skewers are a refreshing and tasty combination. The chicken skin senbei is crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. The chicken breast skewers are tender and flavorful, while the chicken leg skewers have a satisfying crunch. The fried gobo chips are crunchy and make a nutritious snack. The half-fried chicken is a satisfying dish to share. The "shinko-yaki" style chicken is flavorful and delicious. The stone-grilled cheese fried rice is warm and comforting, with a perfect balance of flavors. The iron plate spaghetti and napoletana pasta are both delicious, with a chewy texture and simple ingredients. Although the service may be slow at times, the nostalgic atmosphere and consistent quality make it a worthwhile dining experience. Thank you for the meal.

I went out of my way to take a bus to have soba noodles, but before that, I bought some half-fried skewers and rushed into the soba noodle shop. However, the soba noodles were a bit disappointing, so I decided to stop by a yakitori place called "En" before taking the subway home. I often buy takeout skewers from there, but I've never actually dined in the restaurant. When I entered the sparkling restaurant, even though it was quite empty, I was told to wait for 10 minutes. They had sanitization measures in place, but I felt a bit frustrated. Finally seated at a table, I ordered the "No. 1 popular dish: salt and sauce seasoned raw chicken skewers" and a plate of pickles. Of course, I prioritized ordering a beer. The skewers were indeed their specialty and tasted decent. The pickles were just average. The service wasn't great from the start, and unfortunately, it didn't improve throughout the meal. However, the young waiter was quite competent. Some days are just not good days, and I should have learned that by now since I started using food review websites. Well, this is definitely a place I won't be returning to.

On a certain day in March 2016, my companion said they wanted to eat yakitori (lol). Recently, I had been worried about my companion's health and had stopped eating out at night, but this was a rare occasion for us to eat out again. The only place in the area that came to mind was this one... (^^;; Looking at other reviews, I wasn't sure if it was good or not? I had the impression that it was a place for young people, and I actually thought it was not as good as the yakitori chain restaurant in Sapporo called Kushidori (^^;; However, my perception changed later (lol). We ordered some skewers and salad... When the salad was served, I was surprised by the huge portion! The skewers also came out quickly and were delicious! The tsukune (chicken meatballs) were so fluffy and tasty! Overall, considering the price, the cost performance was good (^o^)/ The menu items were also plentiful, so it would be convenient for families or those who want to try a variety of dishes. The tables near the entrance during this season were extremely cold... (^^;; Thank you for the meal m(_ _)m Next time, I will come back to have the hot pot.

Sapporo, Nishi-machi. Along the main road heading towards Otaru, there is a yakitori izakaya known for its "nama tsukune" (raw minced chicken skewers). The name of the place is "Sumibi Izakaya En Nishi-machi Honten" (There is a parking lot in front of the store). The waiter asked me if I wanted the all-you-can-drink option for 90 minutes, but I declined without asking for the price. Later, I found out that it was only 980 yen for the all-you-can-drink option. What a shame! The beer served was Suntory's Malt's in a medium-sized glass for 410 yen. If I had ordered three beers, the all-you-can-drink option would have been more cost-effective. Oh well, too late to change now. I noticed the sign for "nama tsukune" and "En" in various places, but this was my first time trying it out. I wonder if "nama tsukune" refers to using fresh, non-frozen meat for the skewers. I tried various skewers including plain salt, umeshiso, and tsukune with egg yolk on top. They were cooked over charcoal and had a unique shape with a thick, round end tapering towards the front. The salt tsukune was soft and fluffy, almost like it had grated yam in it. The umeshiso was a classic flavor, while the tsukune with egg yolk had a sweet sauce that made me crave rice. Overall, the skewers were tasty and not too salty, which I appreciated. I also ordered the teppanyaki-style Napolitan spaghetti, which had a nostalgic look with a raw egg yolk on top. It was made with bacon and onions, and came with Tabasco sauce on the side. The thick spaghetti was soft, but the dish was a bit too sweet for my taste. The hot plate could have been hotter to give it a more sizzling appeal. The "nama tsukune" skewers were surprisingly cheap, starting at 126 yen each. The menu offered a variety of dishes like sashimi, zangi, bibimbap, grilled hokke fish, chanko nabe, Morioka cold noodles, yukke-don, and Bibai yakitori, making it a versatile izakaya. The prices were affordable, making it a convenient choice for casual dining. I later realized they offer coupons, where you can enjoy the all-you-can-drink option for 750 yen for 90 minutes, which is a great deal. If you use the coupon, it's definitely more cost-effective, especially if you plan to have more than two beers. It seems like a place where you can enjoy good food and drinks without breaking the bank.

I use this restaurant quite often as it is very close to my place. I just went there earlier. The main branch in Nishimachi is really delicious in my opinion. The appetizer is marinated gizzard and vegetables, which is refreshing. I usually order tofu salad, assorted raw chicken skewers, assorted grilled chicken skewers, assorted sashimi, rice dishes, fried burdock root, dessert, etc. The plum wine is delicious and goes down smoothly. The desserts are really good too! Especially the limited edition sesame pudding, although it was already sold out today. The black sesame flavor is rich and addictive. The sashimi is fresh and not fishy. The raw chicken skewers are really tasty! I personally like plum. They also have party menus, and it seems to be popular among office workers as well. I have been to other branches, but this one is the best in terms of taste and atmosphere. They provide children's plates, spoons, forks, and even offer unlimited drinks for kids. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and since many families come here, it's safe for small children as well.

"En Nishimachi" is located along Route 5, about a 3-minute walk from the Hakkonan Minami subway station. There are a few parking spaces in front of the store. The interior of the restaurant varies from a counter to private rooms that can accommodate up to 60 people. The recommended dish is the tsukune, slowly grilled over charcoal. The raw tsukune comes in various types such as umeshiso, grated radish, topped with green onions, and spicy mayo. In addition, you can enjoy delicious grilled dishes such as Bibai yakitori (easy to eat without any odor), nankotsu, and tebasaki. And the best part about this restaurant is the incredibly cheap all-you-can-drink option! By using a coupon that you can get through Tabelog, you can enjoy all-you-can-drink for 90 minutes at 750 yen, or for 120 minutes at 980 yen (including draft beer). In addition to beer, there are 60 types of drinks available including shochu, sake, wine, highball, and cocktails. This is a great izakaya with a nice cost performance when you feel like having a drink today.

"Sapporo-based izakaya restaurant chain 'En' specializes in take-out deli dishes and dining out. Recommended by a colleague, I had high expectations before visiting. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, including fried chicken, grilled skewers, grilled fish, hot pot, salads, fried foods, and pizza. For my first visit, I ordered the grilled chicken assortment, tsukune assortment, and yukhoe. It turned out that I ended up ordering a lot of meat dishes (laughs). I realized I need to try more variety to balance out my meal. The food was well-seasoned with a good balance of flavors, indicating the chefs' skill. However, the service staff seemed a bit slow in their responses. The 90-minute all-you-can-drink option for 750 yen is great for solo drinkers, and the restaurant also offers various party plans for group gatherings. It's a place that would surely please party organizers."

The other day, my family and I went to this restaurant. Lately, there has been a rise in family-friendly izakayas, and this one offers all-you-can-drink soft drinks for only 300 yen, which is very affordable! They have dishes like horse meat sashimi and yukhoe, and the menu is quite extensive, making it enjoyable for both kids and adults. The food comes out quickly, which is great. The only downside was that even though they offer all-you-can-drink, the drinks were served slowly, so we couldn't enjoy the alcohol as much as we wanted. But I understand that the restaurant was busy at the time. I think it will be better next time we visit.

Local friends from the Yamate area and I went to the restaurant together! It's a shame that we don't seem like regulars because we've been to various branches of the restaurant a lot. Hey, Flame staff! I've been coming here quite often, so please make a loyalty card, haha. The Nishimachi branch has a special menu with nostalgic items, and I love the rolled omelette (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o))). Please introduce it to Susukino as well! I wrote it in the survey too. Annoying, right? I sat at the counter, but it's in the suburbs, right? Nishimachi? It's full, huh? The regular customers there must be feeling pretty proud, haha. I wanted to try something different, so I went for the special menu! Fried rice, rolled omelette, crispy chicken cartilage, squid with fermented soybeans, corn butter, and juicy tsukune skewers! It's nostalgic. I remember those days. I don't know, though. It's a chain restaurant, so I was expecting frozen fried rice and pre-made rolled omelette, but they surprised me. The fried rice was flavorful, and the rolled omelette was fluffy. Of course, the juicy tsukune skewers were as delicious as always! Please use this, Flame staff, haha. And then, the usual teasing from the manager! The manager with glasses ( ・∀・) looks good! He had the same fluffy texture as the rolled omelette. He must be a good manager since everyone calls him "manager." I don't visit often, but I'll come back someday. Unlike Susukino, you can stay even after the all-you-can-drink ends, so we chatted. Elementary school stories always get people excited. I've decided, I will conquer Flame! I'm waiting for the award ceremony.

I was recommended to try the all-you-can-drink menu at a restaurant by a friend, but the drinks were slow to come and you have to ring the chime three times for a refill. Even when you order a refill, you have to wait a long time. The staff had the time to chat loudly with each other, even though the place was empty. The all-you-can-drink soup was too salty and watery, and even when I asked for more pepper, they brought salt and pepper. It's unacceptable. When I asked my friend (who was not with me), they said they had a similar experience. I will never go back there.
