I visited this restaurant and although they have private rooms, we were seated at a table with many chairs. The atmosphere is like a casual pub, not bad. They offer all-you-can-drink without a last order time, so you can enjoy it at your own pace, but you have to order individual items. The prices for individual items seem a bit higher than usual. A Hakushu highball costs around 800 yen, but it doesn't taste like whiskey, so it feels overpriced. The sashimi platter had 3 types on a small plate about 12 cm in diameter, costing about 1500 yen. Don't trust the official photos. The staff were not very friendly, probably because the restaurant is newly opened. I won't go there again.

It was crowded, so I heard it's better to make a phone reservation. However, when I passed by the restaurant around 9:40 pm, they said they could seat one person, so I decided to visit for the first time. I ordered three drinks (Asahi Super Dry, Umeshu Sour, Bitter Orange), an appetizer, and homemade Zangi, and the total bill was 968 yen. They offered a drink all-you-can for 30 minutes for 290 yen. I left quickly after 30 minutes, so it was so cheap! You can order using the barcode at the table from your own smartphone. The staff were all cheerful and energetic, creating a lively atmosphere in the restaurant! I made a little embarrassing memory by misreading the name tag of one of the staff members (lol).

During the first three days since the opening, the restaurant was fully booked, but I managed to secure a reservation for Sunday evening at the counter as a solo diner. The place was still quite empty around 7 pm, but by 7:30 it was almost full. The drink menu offers a 30-minute all-you-can-drink option for 290 yen, which is quite affordable. I enjoyed the matcha tea, although the overall tea selection seemed a bit weak. The Hokkaido Wagyu seared beef sushi (4 pieces) for 830 yen was delicious, with a nice balance of fat and flavor. The hand-prepared chicken zangi (2 pieces) for 240 yen was a bit small but tasty, with a soft and well-seasoned coating. The ramen salad was average. I didn't get to try the meat simmered shabu-shabu or the assorted sashimi, but I would like to try them in the future.

I visited the restaurant on the third day since it opened, and it was fully booked for the first three days. I made a reservation for Sunday evening and was told that it was okay to sit at the counter alone. I arrived a little after 7 pm, and the restaurant was still quite empty. However, by 7:30 pm, it was almost full. The residents of Kotoni seem to like new restaurant openings, as the previous restaurant was also fully booked for about a week. They offer a drink menu with a 30-minute all-you-can-drink option for 290 yen, which is quite affordable. I enjoyed the matcha tea, but overall, the tea selection seemed a bit weak. The Tokachi Ayame beef seared meat sushi (4 pieces) for 830 yen was delicious, with a nice fatty flavor. I also tried the hand-prepared chicken zangi (2 pieces) for 240 yen, which had a soft and tasty batter. The ramen salad was average. I couldn't try the meat simmered shabu-shabu or the assorted sashimi that day, but I would like to try them in the future.
