きんちゃん!
The extremely popular izakaya on the outskirts of Obihiro has moved to the city center! Today, I went to visit the restaurant that I had tried to go to as soon as I returned but found it closed. Yes, it's the super popular restaurant that used to be on the outskirts. I had been a regular customer at this restaurant since it was on the outskirts, and it was quite popular. When I heard that the restaurant had moved to the city center, I searched and finally found it! I visited the restaurant with high expectations, thinking that it would come out to the city center and show off its superior taste, kicking out the competition. Ryoma was located on the west side of Yanagiduki Honten. Ryoma Information Address: 14 Nishi 1-jo Minami, Obihiro City Phone: 0155-21-6622 Fax 0155-23-6558 Closed on Sundays and holidays Business hours: 17:30-23:30 First, I ordered a beer and observed the inside of the restaurant. Despite it being a weekday, it was quite crowded... with 6 seats at the counter and 3 small raised seating areas for 4-8 people each. The staff had reduced significantly compared to the previous outskirts location, with only the owner, his wife, and their son running the place, but the crowds remained the same. The menu isn't overly fancy. Ryoma's specialty is definitely sake. Among them, there is a great selection of sake from Tosa. This little appetizer was amazing. The burdock sticks for 320 yen that I always ordered when I came to Ryoma before... but the oil was a bit heavy... the frying was quite oily... I used to find it very delicious, but this time it was a bit... too oily, so to refresh my mouth, I ordered the yam vinegar for 350 yen. The casually cut yam mixed with a clever lemon flavor refreshes the palate. The cutting of the yam was a bit sloppy though... When it comes to Ryoma, it's sake and sashimi! Yes. The best thing about this place was the sashimi. Eating sashimi here would make it hard to eat it anywhere else. So, to complement the sashimi, let's order some sake. This time, I chose the Tosatsuru Junmai Ginjo for 750 yen. Here it is! This is the sashimi that made me addicted before... but... the taste was quite disappointing this time (tears). The cutting was also a bit like "is this it?" (sobbing) What happened? I felt like asking (crying loudly). This time, I asked for a few recommended sashimi dishes to be served... and this? I was quite shocked by the Ryoma I visited after a long time (tears). It was quite a shock that made me want to ask "What happened?" The move from the outskirts to the city center made me think, "Wow, the other city center restaurants are in trouble!" but... the staff, as before, mainly the wife and husband, are running the place, so the taste should not have changed, but... with only three people working compared to the time when they had several employees, it was clear that they were overwhelmed and irritated... Can't they fully utilize their skills under these circumstances?... It was quite disappointing for me. Well, it's wrong to judge based on just this one visit... No, I'd rather think it was wrong. When I visit again, I would like to write a comment saying, "The previous article has been corrected!" Free Obihiro information! Click here for more fun information! Good information here too.
