"I can't help but think that the term 'Hanakin' is already outdated, but when I see the hustle and bustle of restaurants on Friday nights, that word comes to mind. Tonight, I was led by such hustle and bustle to visit "Isomaru Suisan". First, I filled my stomach with my usual order of Tekkamaki (699 yen) and a Chu-hi (399 yen). The Tekkamaki came with a generous amount of wasabi, which the staff seemed to have remembered. It's just the right amount of kick for me. My family would say it's proof that I have no taste (laughs). The tuna that slightly spills out of the Tekkamaki is a little delight. Next, I ordered Unagi Tororo-kake (439 yen) and saw the scallop sashimi (879 yen) for the first time in a year at this store. Tororo has been my recent obsession. Scallops taken straight out of the tank are best served as sashimi. Come to think of it, when I was younger, I used to prefer the adductor muscle, but lately, I find the stringy part more delicious. As you get older, your taste buds, or rather your preferences, change, and I keenly feel that. Now, for the final touch, I ordered the classic izakaya menu item, Salted Cod Roe and Buttered Potatoes (549 yen). Thank you for the delicious, fluffy potatoes. Feeling quite pleased, I ordered sake for the first time in decades. They had something that was chilled, so I went for that (Matsuchikubai Hakukabe Kura 'Mio' FUROZUN 499 yen)… sake. Of course (^_^;) But with this, I don't need to order dessert. The Yuming song that was playing as background music on my way out was surprisingly pleasant."

Ginger highball was too strong on the ginger for my liking. The appetizer included horse mackerel, dried young sardines, cheese fish cake, and they were grilled. The dancing grilled abalone was delicious but a bit pricey. It came with butter soy sauce, which seemed to be for the abalone. The soba set included a salmon three-color rice bowl, with what seemed to be fried chicken on the side. The artificial ikura was a bit off-putting. The green juice highball was decent, but not exceptional.

Unfortunately, a disappointing two-night, three-day business trip to Shizuoka without trying sashimi. As a final treat, I decided to go to my local area, Akabane! Since it was a Saturday, all the popular restaurants were fully booked. Luckily, I found 【Isomaru Suisan Akabane Minami-guchi branch】 which still had seats available. Started with the "appetizer" - kamaboko, saury, sardine hanpen. It was fun to grill them myself. Next, had the "seafood chirashi salad" - lettuce, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, seaweed, a bit of tuna and salmon, and some unknown fish roe. It felt a bit lacking. Then, tried the "octopus tempura" - freshly fried and delicious. Of course, had to have some sashimi, so ordered the "big catch assortment" - a generous seven-piece platter. Feeling a bit indulgent, got some "fried potatoes" which is a must with beer. To cleanse the palate, had the "pickled Chinese cabbage" which was quite good. Almost forgot about the "simmered offal" - another izakaya classic. As a refreshing dish, had the "sesame salt cucumber" - although it was more like "sesame oil cucumber" instead. Looking back, the order of dishes was quite random, but they were all delicious. Enjoyed the meal!

I received Tabelog points, so I went with my sister. It was 2 PM on a weekday, so it wasn't crowded. I sent my sister ahead to order. She ordered the salmon bowl. I tried calling the staff twice, but they didn't come. I made my order on the tablet. I got the marinated tuna bowl with potato salad and negitoro. I shared the negitoro with my sister. The tuna portion was quite generous. The potato salad and negitoro were in small dishes, so they were a bit small. I paid with PayPay, while my sister paid with a credit card. Well, I treated her this time, as she often treats me.

I made a reservation because there was a good review on Tabelog (^q^). It was really crowded on Sunday at lunchtime (・・;), almost full. I ended up sitting at the counter (・・;), last time it was empty and almost private but this time a couple came later (sweat). I couldn't decide what to order, but I ended up getting the special mixed tuna bowl (≧∇≦)b. At first, I was thinking of getting the large size (^ν^), but the special size has double the amount of toppings so why not ＼(^o^)／. The price was not that different either (・∀・). The vinegar flavor was not very strong and the rice was a bit warm (・・;). I think the previous one was tastier (^_^;). Well, the staff was cheerful and friendly (^o^), but Uber and Demae-kan delivery services were also available (#^^#).

This is a chain izakaya, but I actually like Isomaru. I used to go there often when it was nearby, but I haven't been since it closed. However, I had the chance to come to Akabane this day, so I decided to go to Isomaru for dinner without a reservation around 7 pm. It was a Saturday, so it was full and I had to wait a bit, but I finally got in and decided to have some seafood with drinks. By the way, this place has touch panel ordering, which is convenient. The first appetizer from Isomaru arrived, which included "sand lance, cheese sasakama, and thick fried tofu." I immediately started grilling them on the gas stove while enjoying a beer. Now, my stomach has gotten smaller recently, so I carefully chose what to order. I selected: - Grilled crab miso in the shell - Garlic butter clams and mushrooms - Sashimi platter - Striped mackerel - Grilled squid and mushrooms - Clams - Scallops I must say, my choices were spot on. The crab miso in the shell was sweet and paired well with sake. I grilled the clams and mushrooms in garlic butter and the squid and mushrooms while enjoying the sashimi platter with more sake. I like to eat the large striped mackerel slowly. I switched to shochu around this time and entered full-on tipsy mode. Finally, I grilled the clams and scallops and finished the meal. Thank you for the feast.

It's famous and there are many branches, but I had never been there before. I was taken there by my husband who said the lunch seafood bowl was good. He was disappointed to find out they didn't serve seafood bowls at night, but I pointed out that there were plenty of options in the menu book. However, it seemed like they didn't have many of the seafood grilled dishes at night, probably because they didn't order them in the first place. It's a shame for food loss prevention, but understandable. I really wanted to try the grilled dishes. The sea urchin, fatty tuna, salmon roe, and sea grapes wrapped in seaweed were delicious and reasonably priced at ¥980 for four pieces. The quality was surprisingly good for this price range, especially with the sea urchin. The last dish I ordered was the tempura of fresh squid, which was quite good. It became fluffy and chewy when fried. I learned something new. You can also order lunch menu items or small side dishes for lunch even at night. This is a convenient feature. I added a small portion of grated yam for ¥100, which was a nice addition to the leftover rice. Mastering the use of the terminal is key.

I made a reservation because I received Tabelog points♪ When I arrived, there was no one there (*^^*) It was like having the place to ourselves＼(^o^)／ I've been here before when it first opened, and I recently visited the Oimori branch♪ My dad has been here a few times and also visited the Shinjuku branch(^o^) When I mentioned this to the staff, they were very grateful m(_ _)m I ordered three rice bowls - salmon, tuna, and negitoro(*^^*) I also noticed Uber Eats here(^o^) When I mentioned this, they thanked me m(_ _)m Later, a couple arrived(・・;) Do you really operate 24 hours? Right now, the closing time is 10 PM(^_^;) I will definitely come back again♪ Thank you m(_ _)m The staff here are really nice(^o^)

Tuna with green onions for 659 yen Fried eggplant for 549 yen Fried squid for 549 yen Grilled crab miso in shell for 593 yen Mentaiko cheese omelette for 549 yen Potato fries for 439 yen This izakaya chain near Akabane Station has a grill at each table where you can cook your food to your liking. The appetizers include carrot tempura, cheese fish cake, and dried halfbeak fish, all served hot after being grilled. The tuna with garlic chips and green onions is a great snack, especially when drizzled with ponzu sauce. The fried eggplant is deep-fried and then soaked in a flavorful sauce, although it might be better served warm during this season. The fried squid is crispy on the outside and served with a garlic aioli sauce that adds a nice touch. The grilled crab miso in shell is a must-try dish with its rich and sweet miso flavor. The omelette and potato fries were average, with the omelette lacking in cheese and creaminess, and the fries being a bit undercooked. They offer a happy hour special until 5 pm where you can enjoy discounted drinks. Overall, this izakaya is recommended for those looking to enjoy grilled seafood dishes.

Around 12:00, I had lunch alone at Isomaru, which is typically open 24 hours, but due to the state of emergency, they now close from 8:00 PM to 5:00 AM and focus on lunch, drinks, and takeout. When I entered, they kindly explained the hygiene measures and how to order. They have touch panels, but I couldn't operate them, so they took my order verbally. The food was served in about 5 minutes. The Salmon and Tuna Negitoro Donburi for 680 yen (excluding tax) had slightly thin slices of tuna and salmon, but the portion was generous and the freshness was satisfying. The negitoro was a bit oily, and the sushi rice was tangy, which I, a monkey, enjoyed. The quality at this price is unbelievable. Although it's a casual izakaya, the service and food quality far exceed expectations.

Location: 30 seconds walk from Akabane Station South Exit Reason for visit: Lunch using Goto Eat Ordered dish, taste, portion: Ordered Negitoro Don, delicious. The rice portion was average, but the overall quantity was decent. Service, atmosphere: Touch panel ordering system, surrounded by drinkers even during the day. Overall impression: First time using Goto Eat for lunch. They also have a variety of set meals. I ordered the cheapest bowl dish. It arrived in about 5 minutes. I mixed wasabi with soy sauce and evenly spread it on top of the bowl before eating. Some parts of the wasabi were sweet and gave a sharp sensation in the nose. I would like to visit again as they offer affordable lunch options. *Thank you for reading this review. I hope that this review will encourage more people to visit this restaurant.

While watching YouTube, I suddenly felt like going to Isomaru Suisan, so I went to Isomaru Suisan for lunch. Since there is no Isomaru Suisan near my nearest station, I rode my bicycle for about 15 minutes to Isomaru Suisan Akabane Minamiguchi store. The number of customers in the store was relatively low as it was past the peak lunch time. I could tell that they were thoroughly implementing infection control measures, such as alcohol and seating guidance at the entrance. This time, I ordered the Isomaru 4-color bowl. It is a luxurious bowl with four types of tuna, salmon, yellowtail, and negitoro. Despite the variety, the price is 770 yen, making it incredibly cost-effective. Each type of fish was fatty and had a good texture, making it delicious. It takes courage to go in alone, so next time I plan to use it when I go drinking with friends.

It's been a while since I came to Akabane with friends, and although Akabane is famous for its standing bars, there seem to be surprisingly few options for lunch. In search of a place with good ventilation or a spacious setting, we decided to go to Isomaru Suisan near Akabane South Exit instead of the slightly cramped Ooedo Suisan. The interior of the restaurant was much more spacious than the Isomaru Suisan we had been to before, with large windows and counter seats. However, to our surprise, there were already many tipsy older gentlemen even though it was only lunchtime. We ordered the "Salmon Three-Color Bowl (¥880)" and miso soup for me, and my friend ordered the "Seared Salmon and Eel Bowl (¥880)". The Three-Color Bowl looked very appetizing with its colorful combination of ikura, negitoro, and salmon. The fresh and popping ikura paired well with the rich negitoro, but the salmon, although thick, was a bit fatty and didn't quite match. The service was much faster for the Salmon Three-Color Bowl compared to the Seared Salmon and Eel Bowl, with me almost finishing my meal before my friend's dish arrived. I tried a bit of the Seared Salmon and Eel Bowl, and it was decent, but the salmon had a bony texture and a subtle taste. Overall, I would recommend the Salmon Three-Color Bowl over the Seared Salmon and Eel Bowl. The restaurant accepts credit cards and is conveniently located near the station, earning a positive rating. I didn't check the restroom as it was crowded. Visit rating: 3.04

*Waiting time* Not applicable as I used LINE Pokeyo *Order & Amount* Bara Chirashi *Atmosphere of the restaurant* It was bright and lively. *Service* The service was friendly. *Impressions* The presentation was very meticulous and impressive. The tuna had a sweet taste. Despite being lean, it was tender and delicious. The crab was finely chopped. The salmon roe had a gentle sweetness and a fine texture. The salmon had just the right amount of fat and was delicious. The white fish was firm and tasty. The rice grains were firm and delicious. The portion was slightly generous, so be careful not to overeat. The soy sauce was on the sweeter side, making it easy to eat more. Personally, I would have preferred the sashimi to be served with slightly colder rice to prevent it from getting warm. Additionally, it came with cucumber, pickled ginger, and shiso leaves. The pickled ginger was finely scattered, making it easy to eat. The wasabi was moderately spicy and there was plenty of it, so be cautious. *Expectations* I was satisfied with the luxuriousness and freshness, exceeding my expectations. When it comes to bara chirashi, there are often many tough parts, but each piece was well-shaped. The only downside was the temperature of the rice. I would like to visit again for dine-in next time.

On my second visit, I ordered the red meat assortment again, but was served horse meat instead. When I pointed this out, they offered to exchange it, but since I had already eaten half of it, I declined. On my second visit, I tried ordering the red meat assortment again for a rematch, but once again I was served horse meat. When I asked if it was horse meat right after being served, the staff insisted that it was red meat. It's disappointing because the other dishes are decently tasty. I wonder if this is only an issue at the Akabane location or if it's a company-wide problem.

When you think of Akabane, you think of izakayas that are open 24 hours a day. There are quite a few places, including standing bars. This time, I visited Isomaru Suisan Akabane Minamiguchi store, located in a prime location in front of Akabane Station. Of course, the driver had a non-alcoholic drink. I visited at 7 am for breakfast, but there were still young groups who had been drinking since yesterday (laughs). When these young people leave, the early morning elderly customers come in... something like that. - Chicken Karaage Set Meal - One Bite Luxurious Overflowing Sushi (¥799 excluding tax) - Non-alcoholic beer-flavored drink - Lemon Sour There's nothing particularly noteworthy, but the One Bite Luxurious Overflowing Sushi is sufficient for someone like me. I think the salmon roe is delicious. The marinated karaage is also said to be delicious. A 24-hour izakaya that can also be used for breakfast. Thank you for the meal!

I had never been to Isomaru Suisan before, but I decided to give it a try as our second stop after a farewell party!! The Isomaru Suisan in Akabane always seemed crowded whenever I passed by, so I thought it was always busy. However, on a Sunday night, even with a group of about 10 people, we were able to get a table! Since we had eaten quite a bit at our first stop with a course meal, we didn't order many appetizers and just focused on drinks. It was nice to have a lively atmosphere with everyone chatting and having fun. We tried a variety of seafood dishes, and they were all delicious! When I come here, I definitely have to have some fish dishes. I heard the ramen here is really good for the finish, but I was too full to try it this time. I'll definitely have it next time I come here!

Yona Yona Ale, seafood chirashi salad, no charge for the sushi counter.

Warming up at the Isonomaru Suisan restaurant before the Tokyo expedition! Their negima skewers are a must-try classic!

This time, I used it for lunch. I was undecided on what to order, but this time I ordered the Tuna 2-kind sashimi set. Order details: Tuna 2-kind sashimi set 1,089 yen * Tuna 2-kind sashimi, croquette, rice, pickles, grated yam udon set Sashimi assortment set 1,089 yen * Assorted sashimi, croquette, potato salad, pickles, grated yam udon, petit dessert set The Tuna 2-kind sashimi set included a combination of tuna red meat and bintoro tuna. Both were fresh and had a good volume. The restaurant has a quaint atmosphere with an old folk house style. The staff's customer service was also friendly. It is a seafood izakaya near Akabane Station.
