A typical yakitori chain izakaya. They have fried chicken wings, so that's a plus.

Who and for what purpose did you go with? First solo izakaya debut ^^; It was my debut, so I played it safe and went to a chain store. The interior is clean and calm. 2. Access from the station: Just 1 minute from the south exit, very close. Under the elevated tracks, so you can go without getting wet even if it's raining. 3. Atmosphere & Table Setting: The age group is slightly older, with many groups of office workers. The interior is relatively quiet, so it's a good place to relax and have a conversation. 4. Menu: From sashimi to fried dishes, they have everything. The charcoal-grilled skewers seem to be recommended. 5. Drinks: They offer everything from beer to chu-hai, whiskey, and sake. 6. Appetizer: I'm sorry, I didn't ask. It seemed to be yudofu with mushrooms and mountain vegetables. 7. Food eaten: - Specialty Chicken Thigh Bunzo Yaki 680 yen: Very spicy chicken with cabbage. Or rather, it's very spicy! But it might become addictive, this spiciness goes perfectly with beer. 8. Staff's response: Not too close, everyone seems focused on their work. They seem busy with the group, so the attention may be on that. 9. Toilet: Of course, it's clean. 10. Overall impression: It's okay even if you're alone, but it can feel lonely. There were no particular complaints about the store itself, and the atmosphere was not bad, so I'm satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

I have been to this place a few times on my way home. It's a yakitori restaurant with decent taste and reasonable prices. The yakitori starts from 160 yen. For those who want to try a variety of skewers, there are platters with 8 or 5 different types available. I usually order items like negima, tsukune, liver, and gizzard, along with beer and then shochu. There are mostly older men around, but there are also some younger people, so it's easy to feel comfortable. They also offer a variety of course menus, making it a good place for parties. Thank you for the meal.

《2016/1》 Second visit following Marumas. So maybe it's even better to calm down~. Today's appetizer is fluffy, what is it? What is it? It's definitely a fish paste, but I'll say it again, fluffy (I took a close-up photo because it was too much). After drinking at Marumas, it seeps into the body after moving in the cold. I ended up eating my companion's portion, and I'm satisfied with this(*^_^*). But I did order properly. My companion got the usual thick fried tofu, and unusually, a skewer assortment. I got rolled omelette and smashed cucumber. The rest is the same as usual, sorry. Beer and Tengu Dance in a bamboo tube. I imagined the rolled omelette to be fluffy with a juicy broth feeling, but it turned out to be an old-fashioned, sweet one with a lot of filling. However, they warm it up in a steamer and serve it, which is why I like this place. Sorry, I don't remember how much I drank. Before I knew it, I was at Mambo in front of the station as usual, and it was already the next morning. Well, as usual, I'm off to Jonathan's now. Happy☆Happy☆Thank you for the meal☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆. 《2015.11》 Akabane~. I've been wanting to go to "Marutagoya" for a while, but it's raining and cold, so I thought maybe we should go to Bunzo near the station. My companion had the same idea, so Bunzo~ Today is crowded. The tatami room is lively with a large group of people (^o^)/ There was only one empty two-person table. We sat there. When I mentioned to the waitress that it was crowded today, she said it's payday. I understand. Well, we're entering the year-end party season, so hang in there~ My companion had beer. I had shochu with hot water and plum. Yes~ they have hot tofu~. The usual thick fried tofu and a skewer of tomatoes wrapped in bacon for now~. The tofu was delicious. I started with ponzu and finished by adding broth and drinking it all up~. The tomato bacon skewer was polished off in no time. It's nice how the tomato juice comes out in your mouth~. The thick fried tofu was as usual○. Now that the table space is free, let's add more. Stir-fried meat and vegetables, fried hatahata. The stir-fried meat and vegetables here are delicious. Even though the cabbage looks raw, it's cooked through and crunchy. The seasoning is not too strong, just right. I prefer grilled hatahata, but I'm grateful to have it. I switched from shochu to Tengu Dance and I don't remember how many bamboo tubes I emptied, but I had a slight hangover the next day. The year-end parties are starting now. I'll be careful not to drink too much. Thank you for the meal ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆. 《2015.10》 There are many delicious restaurants in Akabane, and new ones are popping up, but lately it's always "Bunzo". ① There is no bias in the menu, it's not a motsu (offal) restaurant or a sushi restaurant, but it's great when you want a variety of dishes. ② There are no misses, although I always order the same things, the sashimi is always fresh (^ ^). In a certain izakaya in Akabane, each dish is very stylish and not bad at all, but it's not the kind of taste that makes you want to eat it again. My favorite sake and wine are available, the menu board is very elaborate, and even if you try various things, there is no "this is it!" item↓↓ which is disappointing. Bunzo has a very simple menu, but it makes you want to eat it again. ③ The portion size is just right. For people who want to eat a little bit of everything, like women who want to eat a little bit of everything, it's perfect. Like "Marumas", which I love, it's close to the station. You can always get in without waiting (it's not empty at all). My companion can't drink anything other than junmai sake. My companion's favorite thick fried tofu is available. And even when it's crowded, no matter how many times I go, the surroundings ===========

Located on the south side of Akabane Station, this restaurant is situated next to "Sukiya" and "Gyoza no Osho". Their menu mainly consists of charcoal-grilled yakitori and yakiton, along with other typical izakaya dishes. On this particular day, I planned to have a light drink before heading home, so I ordered four pieces of yakitori (chicken, chicken skin, gizzard, and tsukune) seasoned with salt, along with a medium-sized bottle of Kirin Ichiban Shibori beer. The meal started with a Kansai-style ganmodoki as a complimentary appetizer, which had a subtle and refined flavor. The yakitori that followed had a light salt seasoning throughout, and when paired with shichimi or spicy miso, it created a perfect balance of flavors. Each yakitori skewer was priced at 150 yen, while the yakiton was priced at 105 yen each. Although I didn't order it this time, their simmered dishes are also known for their delicious flavors. Overall, no matter what dish you order, you can't go wrong with the flavors here. If you're looking for a safe choice for enjoying yakitori, this is the place for you. Thank you for the meal.

There are many izakayas near Akabane Station, but this one is a favorite. It's popular among office workers coming back from work. There isn't a standout sign, but my colleagues always want to eat the tomato bacon here. I often use this place for drinking parties with 10 or more people, but one time we ordered too much tomato bacon and they ran out (laughs). The menu has a lot of variety, and I haven't made any strange choices, so everything we eat tastes delicious. It's located under the train tracks, so even on rainy days, you can go to the ticket gate without worrying.

Akabane has many drinking establishments, but it can be difficult to find a "relaxing izakaya" since many are crowded and located in narrow buildings. This izakaya is one of the few that offers a calm atmosphere. It is a typical izakaya, but the seating is spacious, prices are reasonable, and the food is simple and tasty. I sometimes bring my children here for dinner. It's convenient and reliable for a casual meal out.

My parents and I often use this restaurant. The midpoint between our homes is Akabane Station, so we often drink around there. The restaurant is located under the train tracks, making it easy to access even when it's raining. My parents really like the wide variety of menu options. If you walk north from the station under the tracks, you'll find it easily. The chicken thigh grill is very spicy and goes perfectly with beer. It's like an adult version of tandoori chicken. It's also quite filling, so I highly recommend it to anyone who loves chicken thighs. It's almost time for our family year-end party, so we should go there soon.

I visited the restaurant with two friends. We were drawn in by the delicious smell of yakitori coming from the grill facing the sidewalk. The inside of the restaurant was crowded with locals, salarymen, and young people. There were counter seats, table seats, and even tatami seating in the back, making it a spacious place. We tried the recommended chicken thigh "Bunzo-yaki" which was coated in a mayo-flavored sauce that was spicy and delicious. We also had other yakitori and salads that were all tasty. However, despite it being early, they had already sold out of pork tongue and a few other dishes we wanted to try, which was a bit disappointing.

The chicken wings, which are a specialty, were fried quickly with a lot of blood remaining. It was disappointing and affected my appetite. Other dishes were okay, but overall disappointing. Will I come back? Not sure.
