The 5th round of casual drinking. It's been getting hot during the day recently, so I thought it would be less crowded and planned to go to an oden restaurant, but it was full when I arrived. Oh well, I'll make a reservation next time. So, I remembered seeing a few promising places for casual drinking around the Shijo-Omiya area last time, and decided to visit one of them. It seems to be a restaurant specializing in kushikatsu and sushi. Since I'm alone, I sat at the counter. I ordered a 380 yen (excluding tax) oolong highball as my drink. The appetizer was cabbage with salt dressing, but it was just a small amount of raw cabbage. I later found out that this costs 300 yen (excluding tax), which seemed a bit expensive for just cabbage. I ordered the firefly squid with soy sauce for 350 yen (excluding tax), octopus with vinegar for 500 yen (excluding tax), and the recommended assorted kushikatsu for 500 yen (excluding tax). First, the firefly squid arrived. It was quite salty and went well with the oolong highball. I love firefly squid. Next, the octopus with vinegar arrived. It was a small octopus leg but a generous portion. Served with cucumber strips, sprouts, shiso, and lemon, it was a refreshing dish. Then, the assorted kushikatsu arrived. It included beef, pork, chicken, onion, and shrimp. They were fried in rice oil, making them quite light. The sauce was slightly sweet and low in acidity, quite good. However, I still prefer kushikatsu fried in oil with a richer flavor. Nevertheless, this light version was also enjoyable. I finished my meal quickly and left the restaurant. The cabbage appetizer seemed a bit pricey, but considering the portion size, it was reasonable. The other dishes were quite affordable, so the cost performance seems to be high. 3.2

On weekends around 8:00 PM, the restaurant was almost full. It's a convenient izakaya near the station. Located just a few minutes' walk from Hankyu Omiya Station in a building in front of the station. The interior is moderately spacious with a counter and table hori-gotatsu seats. The menu is very extensive, with the main focus on kushikatsu. Everything is very reasonably priced, and the kushikatsu was crispy and delicious. On this day, there were many young customers, making the atmosphere lively. Thank you for the meal.

I came here to drink at night. There are mainly yakitori places around here, so I wanted to try something different occasionally. I thought it would be mainly skewers because it said "kushikatsu," but there are also teppanyaki and various other dishes. On the contrary, there are few types of kushikatsu. I'll skip commenting on the taste here. Well, I think it's good for enjoying cheap drinks.

This is an izakaya located on the 4th floor of a mixed-use building in front of Hankyu Omiya Station, specializing in sushi and deep-fried skewers. I was drawn in by the affordable prices and decided to have a casual drink. The table seats are surrounded by fences, giving a private room feel. Draft beer (large) is 630 yen, draft beer (regular) is 330 yen, and there is a 100 yen cabbage appetizer per person. The assorted skewers plate includes 5 types for 500 yen, and other items on the menu include pork kimchi for 580 yen, camembert cheese mochi for 300 yen, chicken karaage for 450 yen, and tofu and sesame salad with small fish for 480 yen. The draft beer is Suntory Premium Malts. The assorted skewers plate includes pork, beef, shrimp, onion, and a total of 600 yen worth of skewers. The pork kimchi is spicy without eggs and has a small portion but plenty of meat.

We used this restaurant on a regular weekday night with our family. Since it was a weekday, the place was empty and we could relax. Since we drove there, we couldn't drink alcohol, but we enjoyed the food instead. Each dish had a generous portion, so we ended up leaving some food uneaten. The taste of all the dishes was delicious. The skewers were freshly fried, and the restaurant uses rice oil, which is good for the body, so it's a plus for women. I would love to visit this place again if I have the chance.

After leaving a sauna spa restaurant in Kyoto, my friends and I visited this place. We had narrowed down a few options beforehand and ultimately decided based on novelty and budget. However, even though we had searched online beforehand, we couldn't find much information about the menu, atmosphere, or any discount coupons. So it was really a gamble to see what kind of impression we would get. There were about three groups of customers waiting outside the restaurant at opening time, but it was fairly quiet afterwards. I couldn't help but think that they should advertise more. The staff seemed a bit understaffed, possibly due to the low number of customers. But because the place was empty, we had a comfortable experience. We ordered several tempura skewers, sashimi, salad, and dice steak. The freshly fried skewers went well with beer and we could eat as many as we wanted. The "Mini Seafood Bowl" I chose as my last dish had generous portions of seafood. Many local residents may not even know about this place. It might be a good idea to advertise in newspapers, offer smart coupons on Gurunavi, or promote vigorously at the station. I hope to be able to visit again next year.

I used it on Saturday. I made a reservation for 10 people and was able to relax in a spacious seat. The drinks and food were cheap and had a good volume. The freshly fried kushikatsu was delicious! The staff were also nice and pleasant.

I often go to Omiya because it is close to my house. There is a building in front of Omiya Station with many restaurants, and I decided to try Kurikinton. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was great and very cozy. The staff were friendly and had lovely smiles. The food, including skewers and seafood, was all delicious. The orders came out quickly without any issues. There is a timetable for trains and buses in the restroom, which is very helpful for customers. I will definitely go back regularly.
