I am happy that you can order just one piece of kushikatsu or oden. You can try a variety of options, even if it's just a little bit of each. They also offer set menus like a 5-piece set, and during the coupon period, I unexpectedly enjoyed the "Goboage? Gobo Stick?" dish. It was surprisingly delicious, made with fragrant burdock that didn't feel like they cut corners even though it was a coupon menu. The oden had all the classic ingredients, and the kushikatsu had unique options like "Mozzarella Cheese" and "Prosciutto Cheese," which were tasty. The traditional shiitake mushrooms were plump and delicious. When I visited, the place was not too crowded, and the service was pleasant without any unpleasant experiences, including the taste. I liked it so I will definitely go back. The staff recommended a refreshing plum wine, Ume Daiyuu, which was delicious.

Chofu meal series #250. My friend planned an early birthday celebration for me, so we made a reservation at Poku Poku, a place I've been curious about for a while. The restaurant is located on the 1st floor of a building in between Chofu Station's central and east exits, tucked away in a slightly hidden spot that seems to blend in with the neighboring Yuyake restaurant, giving off a cozy, hidden gem vibe. Inside, it's your typical creative izakaya setup with a counter and table seating. We arrived at 6:30 pm and the place was almost full. The staff, a mix of young male and female part-timers in the front and a male head chef and what seemed like a male employee in the kitchen, were all friendly and welcoming. We ordered the Poku Poku standard 10-piece set, today's sashimi trio, simmered motsu, potato salad, Hoppy white set, 2 medium beers, 2 shochu on the rocks, and 2 oolong highballs. The 10-piece skewer set included pork loin, chicken tenderloin with yuzu pepper, eringi mushroom, tuna with green onions, and mochi cheese with mentaiko, each with a fine, light breadcrumb coating. My personal favorites were the chicken tenderloin with yuzu pepper and mochi cheese with mentaiko. The simmered motsu, which came in a portion for two, was generous and arrived quickly, making it a good starter. The potato salad was smooth and creamy, with no lumps. We also tried the recommended sashimi trio, and each piece had a thick, satisfying cut and tasted delicious. As a fan of shochu, I was pleased with the wide variety available, both on the menu and off, making for an enjoyable experience. I would definitely want to come back again.

Today, I visited a restaurant with my junior colleague. They wanted to drink good Japanese sake, so we came here. We started with beer, motsu stew, and yellowtail sashimi. Then we had Japanese sake and simmered rockfish. To celebrate the Day of the Ox, we ended with a delicious eel bowl. It was tastier than some eel restaurants I've been to.

It's been a while since I dined alone. The chicken nuggets served as an appetizer were excellent. The sashimi here was also delicious. I've come to like the kochi fish. It's moist, firm, and delicately flavored, like a cross between fugu and kawahagi. They have a good selection of sake as well. The variety of deep-fried skewers on the menu is enjoyable to choose from. The angel prawns are always a safe bet. They are also smoker-friendly. It was fantastic. Thank you for the meal.

Visited for a company welcome party. The food and drinks were excellent, making it one of my favorite restaurants around Chofu. ◆Food In addition to the regular menu, there are daily specials. - Hamachi Feast: A satisfying course meal with plenty of yellowtail. Even with 5 people, it was more than enough. I don't think I could finish it alone. ◆Drinks They offer a wide variety of drinks, including sake and shochu.

At a farewell party, six colleagues used this restaurant. It had been a while since we last visited, and it was still as popular as ever. Previously, there were three courses available, but now there is only one. The course menu may also change due to the current situation. We started with a Caesar salad, followed by three types of fried dishes (potatoes and baby corn, smelt fish), simmered tripe, yellowtail sashimi with grated radish, jellyfish dish, deep-fried skewers, yakisoba with soft-boiled egg, and chocolate ice cream. We were so full that we couldn't finish the yakisoba. There were a lot of fried dishes, so we ended up leaving some. I preferred the previous ladies' night course. It was a shame that we left so much food uneaten. We often use this restaurant for farewell parties, but next time, I will make a reservation for just the table and order individual items. Thank you for the meal!

In Chofu, I occasionally drink, but this place is my first visit. However, I already want to drink here next time, and I also don't want to tell too many people about it, so that's why the title is like this. This time was the second place, so I couldn't eat much because I was already full, but the menu was perfect for my taste. Mainly skewers, sashimi, simmered offal, and many other things that caught my eye, and even various noodles for the finish, including pho... This selection is quite rare and suits my taste, so next time I want to come here first and eat a lot. And the staff, from the part-time girl to the owner-like respectable man, were all very friendly and nice! The only downside was that smoking was allowed in all seats. This is probably because the owner is a smoker, but other than that, it was my favorite in Chofu! I will come again.

A hidden tempura restaurant in Chofu, Tokyo. Although it's known for its tempura, the side dishes are surprisingly delicious. The sashimi is also tasty, and the daily fresh rice is offered at a very reasonable price. On this day, they had fresh oysters with ponzu sauce, 6 pieces for 800 yen. It was a great deal. Thanks to overeating and drinking, I gained 2 kilograms. As a result, I only ate cabbage and tofu the next day. The counter seating is great for solo drinking and relaxing. On this day, I heard various things about my friend's married life, which made me feel even more terrified of marriage. It was like a horror story.

Today we had sashimi of grunt and pork at the restaurant. The pork was made into a luxurious pork cutlet, which was delicious. The color may look intense in the photo, but it actually looked good. The pork was incredibly tasty with a lot of fat. This month's deep-fried skewer included kangaroo meat, which had a lean texture. However, after savoring it for a while, you could start to notice the gamey smell. But before it becomes too noticeable, you end up swallowing it. We also enjoyed some newly released sake today.

I finished work early so I decided to visit the restaurant. I was the first one there. Today's recommendations were the Ishidai sashimi and Hokke. The Ishidai was soft, moist, and had a good texture without being too rich. The Hokke had flesh that easily separated from the bones, allowing me to enjoy the moist flesh. The green bean garlic mayo was also delicious.

When I sat at the counter for the first time in a while due to work reasons, I was surprised to see a counter seat limited menu♪ The fried eggplant with dashi was super cold Σ(ﾟДﾟ)!? But the sensation of it melting in my mouth was really good. It was sweet but not too heavy, a taste that I really loved. The rice ball today was also huge (lol).

I found a coupon that offered a set of 10 skewers for 650 yen instead of the usual 1300 yen, so I decided to visit the restaurant. The interior was surprisingly small, but it had a nice atmosphere for a skewer restaurant. The customers seemed to be quite diverse, including university students. The price was reasonable for the set of 10 skewers, which had a good variety of meats and fish. The batter was crispy in some areas but not overly greasy. The skewers were a decent size and the flavors were enjoyable. The restaurant's skewers were much better than those from chain restaurants like Tanaka. In addition to skewers, we also tried the stewed tripe and sashimi, which were both delicious. The stewed tripe had a miso-based sauce that was flavorful but not too spicy, and adding shichimi spice gave it a different twist. The sashimi was thick and fresh. Overall, it was a great izakaya with tasty food beyond just skewers.

I realized that I have been slacking off on updates and haven't been taking many photos...

Last time the grilled Pacific saury was delicious, so I requested to have it as a topping on a rice bowl as a way to finish the meal.

I want to eat sashimi, grilled fish, meat, and hearty skewers all at once. This place is perfect for that. They always welcome me warmly and recommend delicious dishes. Thank you always! Kiss!

Today, I visited around 6 PM and I could feel that more people were coming. The saury was delicious too, although it's not shown in the photos.

Today, I had one whole fish prepared as sashimi and simmered in soy sauce. I couldn't resist having some sake as well (laughs).

Today, a large grilled collar of yellowtail was served. I also enjoyed some yellowtail sashimi.

First visit of the year. I had a big fried horse mackerel (aji fry) which was delicious with a crispy coating and tender meat. They had a good selection of my favorite Japanese sake, so I was very happy.（笑）

I forgot to take a picture of the food (*´’Д’):;*:;ｶﾊｯ

I was introduced to this restaurant by a friend and have been visiting frequently lately. They are flexible with time and seating, and the food, whether seafood or meat, is delicious. I can't forget the eel bowl I had once! Just be careful not to get too drunk and make noise outside since it's located on the ground floor of an apartment building!笑

I finished work early today so I visited a restaurant. I had grilled flying fish and enjoyed various types of sake.
