A shop located very close to Ueno Station. Perfect for those who want to drink and eat heartily. They have incredibly large portions of french fries and fried chicken, among other dishes. Although we were a small group, we didn't order any of those but we couldn't help but smile as we watched the huge dishes being served to other customers. We enjoyed some tuna sashimi and octopus dishes while having a drinking party. The staff's service was great, and we would like to visit again.

I had a pre-year-end party in Ueno. I arrived early, so I had a pre-party at this chain restaurant with great cost performance. It had just opened for the evening session, but the table we were seated at had a smell from the toilet... Since it was before the year-end party, we only had drinks, but it was a bit disappointing.

Tomorrow's Tokyo Marathon, the master of the izakaya we frequent is participating. As a pre-race celebration, our group of 7 friends visited a chain izakaya that turned out to be quite outrageous. The master had made a reservation for exactly 4 o'clock, as we had been wanting to try it out for a while. The specialty here is the "Baka" (fool) labeled big-sized jockeys of sake and various challenge menu items like oversized dishes. We started with a toast with the dumbbell-like heavy jockeys. The appetizer of meat and bean sprouts was surprisingly good, even though the bean sprouts were warm. Our plan was to try the Baka Karaage and Baka Yakisoba, but there were more Karaage pieces than expected, so we had to give up on the Yakisoba. While waiting for the Karaage, we had chilled tomatoes and cold tofu to pass the time. The Karaage took longer to prepare than we thought. Finally, the boat-shaped platter of Karaage arrived, and we were ecstatic and amazed... there were easily 50 pieces, if not close to 80. Each half of the boat had Karaage with different flavors, one with a sweet and savory sauce, and the other half with soy sauce. The taste was surprisingly good, not overwhelming at all. We enjoyed them with the shichimi spice, mayonnaise, and sauce on the table. With 7 of us, the quantity was manageable. "I ate 10!" "You barely ate any!" "I only had 5..." A debate on meeting the quota erupted among us (laughs). We lively and happily continued to eat the Karaage. At the bottom of the boat, under the Karaage, there were crunchy fried noodles resembling kata-yakisoba, which were a good snack but we also ordered the "Chibachan Salad" (Baka), which had the same topping and was also super-sized, so we started to get a bit tired of it... This salad had a soft-boiled egg in the middle, which we mixed in to eat it like carbonara. However, the Karaage boat platter was only around 1,300 yen, so it was surprisingly cheap. Is this izakaya's business doing okay? Even if you're not foolish, you can choose regular-sized jockeys of sake. There were a lot of young customers, and the 7 of us from the Showa generation felt a bit out of place. As we were leaving, we were shocked to see something. At a nearby table, there were two women challenging the same Baka Karaage boat platter. There are some tough people out there in the world.

With 4 people, we spent less than 7,000 yen and enjoyed fried chicken and large draft beers. We were completely satisfied.

Hello! I'm a table tennis girl! When it comes to large portion izakayas, many people nowadays think of Chiba-chan, which is like an izakaya in Chiba Prefecture, but there are also many in Tokyo (^ω^) I don't really go for large portions, but I find the large portion karage very appealing. The karage has a moist and slightly junky taste that is really delicious. When you make it a mega portion, it seems to come in a boat-like presentation, which I kind of want to see. Also, you can make the potatoes into a large portion, too. It's amazing that all of these can be made into large portions with this quality. And the fact that you can take them home is surprising (^ω^) One thing you shouldn't do is go for a large portion of alcohol. It can become a dangerous amount, especially if you're not good with alcohol. But I know there are many people who still do it, like with mega Hoppy. Most alcoholic drinks can be made into a mega portion. I think it's an izakaya where everyone wants to have fun together, including the fun of the interior design.

It had been a while since I last went. The staff's lively energy hasn't changed.

The restaurant has many students and can be noisy. The prices are cheap and the food is not bad, but it may not be suitable for when you want a more peaceful atmosphere.

The bean sprout appetizer is delicious, the fried chicken is also delicious, and the shrimp is tasty too. The sausages are good as well. The stew has large pieces of meat.

Very cheap

Cheap

The fried chicken is amazing.
