I came with a little bit of expectation, but I didn't feel like ordering more than these two dishes. Well, I guess I was a fool for expecting too much. The homemade cucumber was 400 yen, the local sardine sashimi was 500 yen, the draft beer was 450 yen, and the shochu highball was 400 yen. The sardine meat was mushy and lacked any texture... Thank you for the meal. m(_ _)m

It's been a while since I visited Uji Okubo Akano-ren. This place was introduced by Yoshida Rui on his sake bar wandering show and it's one of my favorite izakayas in the neighborhood. Everything here is delicious, but on this day, I was craving omurice since morning and the omurice here for the first time was amazing! The omurice cooked in an iron pot under a red lantern was so impressive. Of course, the other dishes were also excellent - the tsubugai, horse mackerel, and goby sashimi were fresh, the goby even came with its head lifted up. The oden was as magical and delicious as always, and the simmered dish and hormone yakitori were also top-notch. The drinks were flowing too easily, with my first highball having about 60% whiskey in a pint glass. The staff even remembered that I enjoy drinking, which made me happy. And the cost performance was great too. Coming back after a long time, I was still completely satisfied. Akano-ren is just too delicious. Thank you for the feast!

On a Saturday night in Kyoto, I heard good things about this place in Uji, located about 1 kilometer from Ōkubo Station. The assorted sashimi was really good. I also ordered some pickled mackerel sushi, which was delicious. I also tried the sake with monkfish liver, and had a pleasant time. Thank you for the meal.

In the past, I went to the familiar Akanoren for drinks. The highlight of the day was the jaw meat! The more you chew, the more delicious the taste comes out, and the seasoning sauce is exquisite. It goes perfectly with drinks. Other dishes were also amazing - firefly squid, tuna, yam strips, yakitori, cod hot pot, and potato salad, everything was really delicious here. I want to go drinking here again. I'm hungry again, thank you for the feast!

I went to #Akachochin, a restaurant that was featured on the show "Yoshida Ryuu no Sakaba Hourouki". The oden here is the best I've ever had, with delicious daikon and beef tendon that are full of flavor. The pork belly with bones is also incredibly tasty and melts in your mouth. The other dishes are also top-notch, with fresh fish like horse mackerel tataki, sea cucumber vinegar, and mozuku vinegar. The negima and heart skewers are delicious, and the rice balls are filled with plenty of ingredients. It's no wonder Yoshida Ryuu came here for a visit. Thank you as always for the wonderful meal!

I ordered spider roll, kimchi hot pot, fried sardines, and pickled cucumbers. The kimchi hot pot was incredibly delicious. Thank you for the meal!

Thank you for the wonderful experience in Vietnam. When I returned, I was craving sashimi and went to the familiar #赤のれん restaurant. I enjoyed tuna, tori shellfish, and potato salad. The food here is always fresh and delicious. The chefs have a great attitude and skill in serving high-quality dishes. Japanese cuisine truly stands out as a representative of Asian cuisine. It allows you to fully appreciate the quality of the ingredients and the delicate work put into each dish. There are still many unknown dishes in Taiwan and other countries that I am curious about. It seems like it will take a lot of money and time to explore all of them! Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Familiar series in Kyoto♪ At Akanoren in Uji City. The yakimeshi at the end looks delicious, right? The stir-fry dishes here all have a strong iron flavor, which is amazing. Of course, this yakimeshi too! It's fluffy and really the master here is excellent at cooking!!! The pork trotter kimchi in the second picture is also great with alcohol. Always enjoy fresh seafood here and this day was no exception, I was completely drunk. Thank you for the delicious meal☆

I have been taken care of by Akaren in Okubo, Uji City. No matter what you order, it's delicious, with a variety of seasonal fish dishes to enjoy. This cozy red lantern-style izakaya is a favorite of mine. This time I had chikuwa and okra tempura, as okra is in season at the end of summer. Just looking at the picture makes it look delicious, right? It was tasty with salt dip, and went well with drinks. The omelette, sardine tempura, clam sashimi, and kizushi were all excellent choices. Soon, they will start serving oden, which is also amazing here. I can't wait to visit again soon! Thank you for the delicious meal!

Aji sashimi at the familiar Akanoren. It feels like it's been a while since I last ate aji sashimi. I used to make it a lot when I lived alone - it was delicious with the ginger and garlic paste from a tube, bringing back fond memories. The food at Akachochin is always really tasty. On this day, we also had whale bacon, young bamboo shoots, and mozuku vinegar. Writing about it now makes me want to go back again. Thank you for the delicious meal. My favorite local Akachochin in Uji, Kyoto. I visit this place every three months because it's cost-effective and I love it. The oden here is particularly good, starting around December. The broth is so good, especially with the beef tendons and daikon radish. On this day, we had mentaiko, sazae-yaki, kasujiru, and chanja-maki. No matter what you order, it's always delicious here. It may be hard to go with a large group, but it's a great place to relax and have a drink with a small group. Thank you for the meal. My favorite local Akachochin in Uji, Kyoto. The restaurant is run by two bald brothers, and even though they may look tough, they are really friendly and serve excellent food. I visit this place every three months because the cost performance is great. On this day, we had skewered heart, thigh, and duck with green onion, as well as sashimi of saury. Everything we ordered was delicious. They also serve blowfish, chinook salmon fin sake, and seasonal cold sake. Starting from mid-November, they serve oden, which is incredibly delicious. They also have live fish tanks, so the sashimi is fresh and tasty. Thank you for the meal!

Well, today is not about ramen, but about a banquet. I also work, not just eat ramen, and today I attended a small gathering at the workplace where I am currently working. A very luxurious sashimi platter. A large plate of bite-sized tonkatsu sprinkled with sauce by default. Perfect for the first beer. And then, grilled oysters that I didn't expect to see this season! Oh my, they were incredibly delicious. And when the party was in full swing, we had a hot pot, a voluminous chanko-nabe. I scolded a colleague who was trying to throw everything into the pot, and insisted on adding ingredients in the right order! ... Well, I got some disapproving looks for playing the role of the hot pot supervisor (laughs). We ate and drank heartily, chatted away, and had a great time with a large group at a traditional and historic izakaya.

There is an izakaya in Okubo Shotengai. I often visit with my colleagues after work. When you open the sliding door, you will see a counter in front of you and a large pond on the left. The master is a twin, and both of them have the same face (laughs). They are very friendly and we often have lively conversations about baseball. The food is excellent, from sashimi platters to tempura and Chinese dishes (vegetable stir-fry). They particularly focus on fish, offering a variety of seasonal fish and shellfish (tuna is always delicious). It's a fun and relaxing space, so I would like to visit again.

Beef bowl is delicious
