It's close to Yoo-chan's place, so I ended up coming here with Yoo-chan. Turns out, the mama here is someone I used to drink with in private in the past, which was a surprise coincidence. She has become even more charming than before. You can also enjoy her homemade dishes here. The prices are reasonable, so I use this place often.

I wish the pandemic would end soon! Even with self-restraint and business closures, it doesn't seem to be getting better. People are getting infected while renewing their driver's licenses, meeting friends privately, or dining out. Is it really spreading in restaurants? I visited a new store in Susukino this time and waited for Yochan to join me while eating stir-fried bean sprouts and eggs, and stir-fried pork and mushrooms. This place is more like a gathering spot for Totoron's Susukino friends than a restaurant.

The other day, someone who saw a review of Totoron contacted the shop saying they wanted to visit. However, the inexperienced shop owner got scared when they received a sudden phone call and couldn't respond properly. Mentioning Totoron's name will definitely help the conversation go smoothly (lol). Anyway, even though we had to work overtime a bit, Yochan (the izakaya owner) and I had a gathering. We ate the Pork Belly and Eggplant Kimchi Stir-Fry for only 250 yen! Isn't that cheap? The shop owner here likes spicy food, so this dish was quite spicy. Totoron can handle a bit of spiciness, so I enjoyed it, but it was spicy (lol).

Totoron-san, would you like to go together? It was Yoo-chan who invited me. Yoo-chan, that Yoo-chan (laughs). We arrived at a karaoke snack place, not a place for adult entertainment. The prices are cheap, like in Susukino. The entrance fee is 2,000 yen for men and 1,000 yen for women, so it's quite affordable even if you bring someone along. The bottle prices start at 3,500 yen for shochu and 4,000 yen for whiskey, which is reasonable. The all-you-can-drink fee starts at 3,500 yen, but there are some points that need improvement, like the 90-minute limit or karaoke being charged separately. The food is really cheap, ranging from 150 to 280 yen. I ordered the tamagoyaki for 250 yen, which is a great price. Even if there is an additional charge for karaoke, I would be okay with it. If it's free, this could become Totoron's hangout spot in Susukino (laughs).
