Welcome.---------- May 2015 ----------Walking down a quiet street in front of the Kamogawa River in Nishi 7-jo, you will catch the scent of eel from Wada, and the aroma of delicious grilled eel from Kahori♪ Continuing towards Sosei River, you will encounter a fairy-tale-like illumination, which is here. As you head to the 2nd floor, you will find a Goth bar that is quite dark and reacts to blacklight with blue and red lighting. In front of you is a DJ booth with a sign saying "Feel free to DJ♪" Reminiscing about the time when you dreamt of being a DJ in your 20s. Moving further back, you will find two dart boards and a counter with a regular customer, Wakai Ko-chan, who is a current boxer, calling out "King!!" A semi-private room? The bar you are guided to is a calm space that doesn't feel like a bar, but is filled with trance techno music, baseball on TV, and silent games. Playing Super Mario on the Super Famicom raises the spirits of a (former) gamer. Oh, right, drinks... ordered from Kitty(= ´∀´)ノ凵゛. The food ranges from appetizers to mega-sized dishes, with a special recommendation for soup curry. Oh, and there's a drink called "Reggae Punch" on the menu. "Kiwi Nanchara"? Nice to meet you, King. Although you don't know each other, there seems to be a mutual acquaintance. The former troublemaker has apparently branched out on their own. It seems like all the bartenders here end up owning their own bars. Starting with a Caesar salad and smoked duck breast slices, followed by delightfully crispy fish and chips. The way it's fried changes the taste of the fish, showcasing the chef's skill. The shoe string potatoes are moist and flavorful. Enjoying a Chinzano Rosso(= ´∀´)ノ凵゛, followed by a delicious chicken sauté. Despite being a bar, the food portions are generous. The crispy skin and onion sauce with chicken and herb flavors create a unique taste. For dessert, a simple pasta dish with tarako and no sauce. Light and perfect for enjoying with drinks. Ending with pancakes, which are made with hot cake batter and filled with maple butter, topped with a light whipped cream. It's a good way to finish the meal. It's interesting how pancakes are served at a bar now. If you have the chance, try the beef tendon soup curry. The light and smooth soup with finely chopped onions and a hint of spice is initially very spicy, but then the sweetness of the onions balances it out. The spice level may be too much for some. The beef tendon pieces are large and the vegetables are sautéed and simmered for a colorful dish. The lighting is dim, adding to the atmosphere. The use of turmeric in the soup adds an authentic touch. This place is the real deal. The spice level is at Lilias-san's maximum, so how will you fare? As friends gather and enjoy playing darts, King and the customers all have a great time together. Maybe one day you'll join in the fun, acting young again. Thank you for the meal♪
