I stopped by because I was craving soba noodles. It seems like this place is known for its side dishes, but unfortunately, I was already full. They also have sake, which makes it even more disappointing. As for the soba noodles, I chose the tempura soba for 880 yen. The soba noodles and broth were delicious, but the tempura felt a bit lacking. The portion of soba noodles was more than I expected, and I left feeling very satisfied. I would like to come back next time to try their side dishes. Keep up the good work, beautiful lady.

I was drawn into the warm interior of the restaurant. It seemed like a cozy place. There were already regular customers chatting happily inside. I ordered three appetizers and a beer. The dishes that came out were all delicious. The beer went down smoothly. I visited in April, and the conversation turned to seasonal topics, like where to see shibazakura flowers and changing tires. It finally felt like spring had arrived.

I had a business trip to Asahikawa. For the first restaurant, we had a business dinner at this place. Then we went to a new area for the second round. It was around 9 pm and most places were closing, so we decided to go to this restaurant that was still open. There were counter seats and table seats, and we sat at a table for three. We ordered beer and the recommended beer. We also added some fried food recommended by the regulars at the counter. The Yurine was delicious. We finished with some soba noodles. It was a nice way to warm up with soba noodles instead of ramen sometimes!

Opened in Asahikawa Harete, "Obanzai" is a shop where you can enjoy sake. It is run by a wonderful female owner who manages everything by herself. The best way to start here is with the "Our Family's Dinner Table Standard" set (1,200 yen). It includes 4 types of obanzai and 1 glass of sake. While many shops in Harete offer evening drink sets, this place stands out in terms of cost performance. I chose a draft beer (The Premium Malt's) for my drink. The 4 types of obanzai for the day were "bamboo pork stew," "dried radish," "seaweed and cucumber vinegar dish," and "edamame." The bamboo pork stew was delicious and tender, cooked until it melted in your mouth! The dried radish and vinegar dish had a refined and light flavor. Feeling like trying some sake, I ordered the "Select Sake Tasting Set" (1,000 yen) with "Sanchosakura Junmai," "Kamikawa Taisetsu Junmai," and "Takasago Ezonokuma Junmai." Maybe I'll order one more obanzai dish. I went with the "Chicken Roll Wrap" (580 yen) - vegetables wrapped in chicken. The chicken was tender and flavorful! Enjoying sake with the owner's homemade obanzai dishes was a comforting experience. It's a cozy and welcoming place!

Men and women are both soothed by beautiful people (´艸｀*)♡ The owner of this place is cute♡ I can't see the whole picture because of the mask, but she looks like Maomi Yuki or Aiko Minato, right? Haha, I had a little to eat and this was our second stop... ◆Sanzensakura - Where does this path lead... 750 yen ◆Kamikawa Daisetsu - Special Junmai 700 yen They poured it in the backyard before serving. I ordered Sanzensakura, but wait, it's sweet?? I heard it was a bit spicy here and there, so... maybe I got it backwards? I tried the Kamikawa one they recommended and it was actually spicy, so I might have mixed them up? It's better when they pour it in front of you. But the portion is a bit small. Maybe around 90ml (^-^; For food... ◆Soy sauce-marinated octopus 430 yen - The octopus flavor is strong and delicious♪ ◆Spicy pickled garlic 330 yen - Tastes as expected haha, the texture is soft. ◆Premium Malt's draft beer 550 yen - They also serve draft beer here. Apparently, all the beers in Harete Asahikawa are Premium Malt's as per their specifications. But, having different glasses for the same price in different stores, isn't that a bit off? (^-^; There were over 400 applicants for the 400 spots in this facility, and apparently there was a final audition where they had to cook. Some burnt the food or undercooked it, but still passed... I guess they won over the older gentlemen with their cuteness, huh? Haha Oh, now that I think about it, the appetizer that was listed on the menu wasn't served. It wasn't on the bill either, so maybe they're still figuring things out.
