☆LP☆After a long time, I made a reservation to go drinking with my dad and we visited the restaurant. It seems that the place is run by someone who used to work at a famous yakitori restaurant in Muroran, which piqued my interest as a Muroran yakitori fan. We sat at the counter and started with a toast! The menu is very simple, mainly consisting of yakitori. There are very few side dishes, so you might feel a bit unsatisfied. We had plans for a second round later, so we were planning to leave in about an hour. We ordered dishes like pork skewers, chicken skewers, liver, and the famous quail skewers before leaving. Muroran yakitori usually comes with mustard, and this restaurant also served a separate plate of mustard. It goes really well with the sweet sauce. The meat here was quite small compared to Ippin and the sauce lacked depth, which was disappointing. My dad and I were puzzled, but we were happy to have had Muroran yakitori after a long time. I hope they can keep up with the original Muroran yakitori. Next time, I might try comparing it with the main branch. Thank you for the meal!

There were too many people at Menkichi in Nishi 4-chome and I couldn't get in, but when I called here, they said there was a time limit but I could come in. I hurried over. I have been coming here regularly for over 10 years and have even recommended it to my friends as the place to go for yakitori in Muroran! I always order the pork skewers, chicken skewers, quail skewers, and beef sagari. The meat for the pork skewers and chicken skewers is delicious, but the sauce is even better!! It's so tasty that you can even pour it over rice! The quail skewers are unique in that you eat them with the shell on! I was surprised the first time I saw them. The beef sagari has tender meat that goes well with wasabi! I usually order the grated long yam in soy sauce, but even after waiting a while and not receiving it, I ordered it again. "I'll make it right away!" they said. It seemed like they had forgotten about it. When it finally arrived, it was different from usual. The flavor had not soaked in at all, and it just felt like it was drizzled with noodle soup. Usually, it's well-marinated and brown in color... What a shame. Well, the yakitori is delicious, so I will definitely visit again!

I love Matsumae yakitori, and there is a great place in Sapporo where you can enjoy delicious Matsumae yakitori called Otokoyoshi. This type of restaurant is not for lingering, you should quickly eat the Matsumae yakitori (thigh meat) along with other skewered items and grilled rice balls (a must-have) and then leave. But I always end up going for another round of Matsumae yakitori!

I went to the Menkichi restaurant in Susukino (^_^) The private rooms are great, especially during this time of year. The quality of the yakitori is excellent, just like at the main branch. The specialty of whole quail eggs grilled with the shell is delicious. Menkichi Susukino branch, located a 2-minute walk from Susukino Station, has finally opened after 15 years since its founding. The "Muroran yakitori" skewered with pork and onions and grilled over charcoal is a masterpiece to be enjoyed with the homemade secret sauce and Western mustard, made with over 20 types of ingredients that are carefully prepared for a long time. They are particular about using only high-quality ingredients, such as brand pork from Upper Furano, and do not use frozen products. Please enjoy it with a wide variety of sake and other drinks.

This is the second store of Otokichi, famous for its Muroran yakitori, located on the main street of Susukino. It opened in December. The restaurant has 7 counter seats, 3 tables for 4 people, and 3 tatami rooms. I visited on a weekday at 8:00 PM, with 4 customers already there and 3 more arriving later. The beer I ordered was the Perfect Classic for 500 yen. It had a creamy foam, but there was a slight off-taste. Despite the high expectations from the "Perfect Classic" label, it was still a delicious beer. The appetizer was pickled vegetables with chili oil, giving it a spicy kick. The skewers are usually served in sets of 4, but you can also order them individually for 150 yen each. I followed the restaurant's recommendation and got them in sets of 4. The Pork Shoulder with Sauce skewers were thick and juicy, with a sweet and slightly too sweet sauce, but the generous amount of mustard added a nice kick. The Pork Heart with Salt skewers were also thick and juicy, with perfect seasoning. The combination of smoked herring and cream cheese was a great choice, with the well-aged herring complementing the cream cheese perfectly. It's convenient to be able to enjoy the delicious skewers without having to go back to the main street. Thank you for the meal.

The most shocking thing about eating Muroran yakitori was that the quail eggs were still in the shell, haha.

This is a highly recommended restaurant where you can't go wrong with any menu item. All dishes are delicious. The atmosphere of the restaurant may be a bit noisy, but other than that, it's perfect. The drinks are also delicious!

I visited after a round of golf ⛳️ and enjoyed the delicious Muroran yakitori that they are known for. The sweet potato shochu was also perfect! Thank you very much.

The bird was okay. Quail eggs unexpectedly came with the shell. Definitely don't need the shell. LOL

The grilled chicken in Muroran was delicious and consistent in its taste.
