On a certain weekday night, while wandering around Manseibashi in Akihabara with a friend, we decided to dine here after receiving a 20% off coupon. Upon reaching the 8th floor of the building, we entered a spacious restaurant. We requested a non-smoking area and were seated in a room with several table seats. We could call the staff using a buzzer or order using a touch panel, which was a hybrid system. Cheers!

The drinks were decent, but considering the price, the wait time was a bit long, giving a sense of being kept waiting. The dishes showcased Hokkaido's specialties and lived up to the restaurant's name. However, the service was slow at times. The restaurant offers fish that are not commonly found in Tokyo, which adds to the experience. Overall, although slightly pricier than typical izakayas, it is worth it for a lively atmosphere and reasonably tasty dishes. Thank you for the meal.

Pork bowl with free extra serving and unlimited miso soup for 930 yen. The amount of pork is a bit small and feels lonely. Comes with mentaiko and pickles, plenty of side dishes for the rice. The tea cup is heavy and small, would be nice to have a bigger and lighter one. The atmosphere of the restaurant is calm and makes you want to come for a drink at night.

A good izakaya is one that also excels in lunch options. While there may be other choices for tourists visiting Akihabara, for salarymen working in the area, nothing beats the calming set lunch menu at an izakaya. In a neighborhood that is becoming more and more touristy with extreme menus, being able to enjoy the classic Diamond set lunch is truly a blessing. I still had a place to eat. Thank you for the meal!

I went to have dinner. They served appetizers too. The food tasted good. The squid somen was tastier than I expected, especially with the wasabi. The cream cheese and mentaiko (fish roe) dish also had wasabi, which I like. The cream croquette was not too creamy inside. The miso ramen had plenty of corn but lacked a bit in flavor. I wonder what it was missing.

I made a net reservation for 18:00 on a regular day and visited a Hokkaido-themed izakaya located about a 2-minute walk from JR Akihabara Station on the 8th floor of Tomorrow Building. The restaurant has a total of 230 seats and is managed by 4 hall staff members in a dimly lit interior. I ordered using a multilingual touchpad in four languages and had the following dishes: - Appetizer: 450 yen (△) - Cold lotus root, carrot, and soybean salad - Salted kombu salad: 690 yen (○) - Salad with Lauship salt dressing - Squid sashimi on crushed ice: 790 yen (○) - Served with a sauce made with kombu from Kushiro and squid innards - Spicy miso whelk: 530 yen (◎) - Korean-style dish made with doubanjiang, crispy and spicy - Homemade potato mochi: 690 yen (◎) - Hot and chewy mochi served with a delicious sauce of ketchup and butter - Crab shell fried rice: 530 yen (◎) - A specialty dish with crab on burnt rice, complemented by daikon and green onion - Jingisukan: 1490 yen (◎) - Spicy and unique flavored dish with lamb, pumpkin, cabbage, leeks, potatoes, and onions - Super Dry beer (medium bottle): 630 yen (○) The background music was easy listening, the clientele consisted mostly of business people, and the restaurant was about 30% full with a female ratio of about 20%. At the time of my visit, the restaurant had a Tabelog rating of 3.06. The restaurant is operated by Colowide, which actively engages in M&A activities, having acquired "Kappa Sushi" and "Atom". As a shareholder of Colowide, you can also enjoy the shareholder benefits, making it a convenient group for those aspiring to be a shareholder benefits king like Mr. Kirita. By the way, becoming a shareholder of Colowide entitles you to receive 10,000 yen worth of usage points four times a year. (At the time of posting, 1,468 yen X 500 shares = 734,000 yen) So, the hidden title of this review is "Aim to be the Shareholder Benefits King, Mr. Kirita, at Akihabara". Thank you for the meal!

First of all, take a look at the sashimi! It was served in a messy way! And then, next to the plate of yakitori, there was some kind of spicy miso sauce? I don't know, but it was a disaster when it was brought to the table! They should have plated it more nicely! At least!!! It wasn't very delicious and it was expensive, so I won't be going back. I feel like I was deceived by the name "Hokkaido". The restaurant was spacious and that was good.

Genghis Khan was delicious when eaten with cold potatoes topped with butter and salted cod roe. I won't order sea urchin again, maybe because the expectations from its name were too high. The extra spicy Japanese sake was delicious.
