I visited on a Saturday night. It was somewhat crowded but we were seated right away. We had a private room so we could relax! The food was quite delicious, so I was very satisfied. We enjoyed Ishikari hot pot and Genghis Khan to fully experience Hokkaido. The price of alcohol was a bit high, so next time I will go for the all-you-can-drink option!

Although it's a chain restaurant, the presentation is quite good! I can appreciate the effort, but the taste doesn't quite measure up. The shishamo was tasty, but it would be nice if the overall flavor improved. Despite being called a Hokkaido restaurant, it's a bit puzzling that all the menu items at this sister store are the same. It would be better to offer items that reflect the essence of Hokkaido more.

I was excited to visit this shop in Hokkaido, hoping to find crab, but unfortunately they didn't have any. I ended up ordering a sashimi platter and tonkatsu instead. The sashimi was delicious and fresh! I also tried the crab dashimaki tamago, but it lacked the crab flavor. I also had a lemon sour cocktail, which was just average but tasty. The place was quite busy and they mentioned a 2-hour time limit. It felt a bit rushed, but understandable due to the waiting customers. Overall, I didn't find any particular reason to want to come back, but I might give it another try if I have the chance.

Private room izakaya. The food comes out very quickly.

Recommended for those looking for a private room around Akihabara Station. The atmosphere is not fancy enough for entertaining guests, but it is just right for quietly enjoying. There is a wide variety of alcohol, satisfying even those who like shochu and sake. The speed at which the dishes come out varies, but it is within an acceptable range. The freshness of the fish dishes is noteworthy. The grilled Atka mackerel was cooked just right. The portion sizes felt a bit small.

Banquet course appetizer ===========

The food and drink were served quickly, which was great!

I was able to relax in a private room. The service was quick and helpful. I would like to use it again.

I used it for a drinking party with friends. The Genghis Khan was very delicious and went perfectly with the alcohol!!

The private room was good.

The restaurant is very beautiful and the private rooms are nice.

Reasonable prices

It took a long time for the drinks to arrive...

I visited the "Tokachi Ishikari Hakodate Akihabara Station Front Store" located on the 4th floor, just a minute's walk from the JR Akihabara Station Showa-dori exit. I met with a colleague I hadn't seen in a while. We arrived at around 7:00 pm and were guided to a private room near the entrance. We looked at the menu on the table and ordered the following items (excluding tax): - Appetizer ? yen - Zangi 690 yen - Chishiro dori's liver with quail eggs 490 yen - Fried hokke 790 yen - Grilled salmon with miso 690 yen - Crab dashi rolled omelette 790 yen - Thinly sliced Hokkai suidako 690 yen - Draft beer 490 yen - Highball 390 yen Lately, even in chain izakayas, there are more delicious places, but I felt that this one was a bit lower in quality. The prices also seemed a bit high on average. Thank you for the meal.

I went in for a second round after having a light drink in front of Akihabara Station. In the building of the food and beverage shops in front of Akihabara Station, as soon as you go down the elevator, you take off your shoes. The tables are divided by simple wooden sliding door partitions, so you can hear other customers' voices but cannot see their faces. It was a second round, but we started with a toast with beer and drank heartily. It's nice to not see the faces of other customers when drinking in a city where you might run into acquaintances. I would like to use it again.

Big Echo, a karaoke chain operated by Daiichi Kosho, also runs izakaya restaurants. The izakayas located in the Big Echo building in Akihabara have different names, but they are all managed by Daiichi Kosho. First, the menu options are limited. Perhaps because there are multiple izakayas with different concepts, the variety within each menu is lacking. The kitchen may be shared among the different establishments. Although private rooms are advertised, they are not fully enclosed, so smoke from other tables can be bothersome. The claim of "all private rooms" should be reconsidered. When we arrived early, there was only one other group present. Despite the availability of other tables, we were seated near smokers even after expressing our preference to avoid the smell. The food is average for an izakaya, but there is nothing particularly outstanding. The payment process is slow, even when the restaurant is not busy. Overall, we did not find anything special about this place and do not plan to return.

Today, I had a BBQ drinking party with friends in the park from noon♪ After we finished there, we moved to Akihabara. Since it's Sunday, not many shops are open, and we couldn't find a place to accommodate our large group. We ended up going to a chain izakaya near the station. The restaurant had just opened, so we were able to get a private room easily. We started with a toast with beer! Cheers! The appetizer was some kind of konjac noodle dish with ponzu sauce, which was sour and delicious. The prices were unclear. We ordered the following dishes: - Grilled salmon: It came on a hot plate and was delicious. - Grilled squid: It was tender and tasty, but a bit pricey. - Pickled vegetables assortment: Light and tasty. We also ordered some other dishes, but overall, it felt like a typical izakaya experience. For drinks, we had refills of drinks like shochu highball. The drinks were light, so we could enjoy them without worry. My companions also had some sake. As the restaurant got busier, it took a while for the staff to come take our orders or bring our drinks. Even though it wasn't an all-you-can-drink party, the long waits made us a bit bored. We ended up paying around 2000 yen after about an hour and a half. Since we weren't very hungry when we went, we were able to keep the cost low. However, it's true that these chain restaurants don't offer much excitement when it comes to drinking.

The wide variety of local dishes made me feel like I was in a Hokkaido izakaya.
