Even today, as always. Since coming here, I've found that the sashimi platters and fish combinations at other restaurants are all lacking. The manager? The chef doesn't seem to smile, but I guess that's just how they are. They may seem a bit dry, but the prices are friendly.

I recommend making a reservation before visiting as the restaurant is not very spacious. If you're going with two people, I recommend sitting at the counter. The sashimi platter and deep-fried taro are delicious. They offer a great deal on sake tasting sets. Personally, I was surprised to find a sake called Kirei from a brewery in Nagano that is not listed on the menu. This brewery in Ueda City, Nagano, seems to be making delicious sake, but they haven't expanded their sales routes beyond the prefecture. The restaurant is run by just two people, but I believe it will definitely become a popular spot. The food was delicious. I'm thinking of visiting the Hatagaya branch next time. Thank you for the meal ☺️

The reason for the low score is a mystery, but everything is really delicious!! It's always crowded with locals, so it's a popular spot. It's not easy to just walk in. The owner is a bit intimidating, but the cost performance is good so everything is great!! Definitely try the "Fish-chan Mori" and enjoy!

A small, cozy restaurant that has been bustling since it opened a few years ago. I always wanted to visit this place, and finally made it just before last call, skipping dinner. I chose dishes based on intuition and ended up with more food than expected, feeling a bit full. The presentation and quality of the dishes exceeded my imagination, and everything I ate was delicious. The atmosphere was a bit noisy with chatter from the table seats, but I enjoyed a relaxing meal at the counter. The bill was surprisingly reasonable considering how much I ate. It was also convenient that there were no appetizers (or appetizer fees). However, I wonder why such a great restaurant has a lower rating than I expected.

I watched "Finding Neverland" carefully for the third time and had a delightful time at this restaurant. We arrived around 3:30 pm, took a stroll around Hachioji, and decided to enter this restaurant that was open. It was around 4:30 pm when we entered, and the owner mentioned that it was okay to stay until after 6 pm. There was one family, a solo female diner, and two men already seated. Despite half of the seats being empty, we felt like we just made it in time. Other walk-in customers who arrived after us were all turned away. The place seemed popular...? When we tried to place our order, we were ignored for a while as the owner attended to other customers and tasks. Just when we started to feel uncertain about the place, the owner finally came to take our order. We ordered Sapporo Red Star beer for 750 yen, a Phoenix Mitama peach soda for 690 yen, Fish Nigori for 390 yen, a sashimi platter for two for 1,100 yen, medium-sized fried horse mackerel for 790 yen, and grated whitebait for 490 yen. The owner recommended we start with the Fish Nigori as it's made only with real fish collagen and tends to melt if left for too long. This was the first time we had a proper conversation with the owner. The worry in our hearts eased a bit, and when we tried the Fish Nigori, it was incredibly delicious. We started to like the owner a little more. The texture with the small fish roe-like bubbles inside was irresistible. The Fish Nigori sold out while we were there. And it's only 390 yen! I wonder how hard it is to make... Next, the sashimi platter arrived. Wow! Is this really for two people?! The portion was impressive, and each slice was big enough to fill your mouth. And it tasted delicious. I was surprised! We ordered the medium-sized fried horse mackerel, and when it arrived, we thought, "This is a medium size?" I wonder how big the large size is. We particularly liked the finely textured tartar sauce that came with it. It was not too sour and had a smooth flavor. Lastly, we added Corn Tempura for 790 yen and a Highball for 450 yen before finishing our meal. Throughout our meal, the phone kept ringing, and the owner kept apologizing to everyone for being busy. The owner seemed to be shy around strangers. However, he seemed to have a good conversation with what seemed like regular customers. The cost performance of the food was excellent. We left the restaurant feeling satisfied and content with full stomachs.

I entered the restaurant at 6:30 pm without a reservation, even though there were three groups at the counter. The restaurant, called "Uochan," mainly serves seafood dishes, and the sashimi was fresh and delicious. I was a bit skeptical about the alcohol, but it turned out to be quite tasty! In hot weather, lemon sour is always a good choice. Although the restaurant focuses on fish dishes, surprisingly, they also offer delicious crispy potatoes. The alcohol goes well with the food. I heard that they are opening a second branch in Hatagaya, so I might give it a try.

The assorted sashimi plate was delicious and had a generous portion! The variety of Japanese sake was also great. It was a shame that the mozuku tempura was sold out! Other dishes we tried were minced meat-stuffed bell peppers, fried taro, thick fried tofu, and crunchy potatoes, etc. The photo shows a tasting set of three different sakes. I would like to come back again.

I used to pass by this place and always noticed that it was always crowded with fish lovers, so I finally got a chance to go! The sashimi platter for 1100 yen was huge! I was surprised by how much there was. The oysters were also delicious and plump. I also ordered the hotaruika (firefly squid) and takenoko (bamboo shoot) hot pot, and I'm glad I ordered it first because it was the last one available. Everything was fresh and delicious! ✨

I visited Uotyan in Hatsudai for the first time. I heard that their popular dish is the fried horse mackerel, but they only use large horse mackerel weighing over 200g, and due to price increases, they are currently limiting their supply. They plan to resume serving it in the autumn. Their sashimi platter is generous and reasonably priced with good freshness. The nanban-zuke uses a variety of fish and offers a range of flavors. All the appetizers are delicious! They also have a selection of rare whiskies like Hakushu and Yamazaki, as well as a good range of sake. I would like to visit this restaurant again. Thank you for the meal!

The other day, I visited the izakaya on Fudomichi Street in Hatsudai again. I arrived around 5:30 pm, so it was not crowded at first, but it got really busy after about an hour. The seafood was delicious as always, but the Cheese Mentaiko Potato Salad with Ikura topping was the best! I will definitely visit again!

The other day, I stopped by a pub on Fudo Street in Hatsudai that I had been curious about for a while! This place is newly opened and very clean! The sashimi platter had a generous portion and was delicious! I will definitely visit again!!

The atmosphere is great. The sashimi assortment for two people is plentiful and thickly sliced, priced at 1,100 yen. Everything is delicious. Since the menu mainly focuses on sashimi, it might be good to visit as a second stop. There is a wide variety of sake available, so you can drink plenty. (((The fresh oysters were incredibly delicious~~ so meaningful)))

This is my second visit today. The sashimi set is 1000 yen, the boiled sand lance is 290 yen, and the braised burdock is 150 yen. This is a shop that I don't often get to visit, but today it's raining so I was lucky to get a seat for one person. The portion size and quality are high, and while it may not be a fancy restaurant, it's a rare find that offers satisfying food at a reasonable price. Some people may find sand lance a bit off-putting, but despite its appearance, the savory taste of the crustacean is quite addictive. I'm not sure if they always have it, but if you're interested, give it a try. Thank you for the meal!

While shopping, I stopped by in Hatsudai for the first time in a long time. I visited a place that had caught my eye on social media. It was crowded soon after opening, so making a reservation might be a good idea. I ordered a Mega Highball, Macaroni Saba Salad, Fish Liver Stew, and Sanagi Soy Sauce Stew. The Macaroni Saba Salad was a sure bet, with macaroni and flaked mackerel mixed together. The mackerel flavor added a unique twist to the usual macaroni salad. The Fish Liver Stew had fish eggs in it, so if you love fish eggs, it's a must-order. I remembered eating Sanagi (pupa) when I was a child but hadn't tried it as an adult, so I decided to order it. It was a valuable source of protein. Everything was reasonably priced, and if you go with a group, the sashimi platter is also affordable and generous. It was a big hit, a restaurant I hadn't been to in a long time! Thank you for the delicious meal!

On a weekday after 7 pm, I went with my colleagues to a place where alcohol is served until 8 pm. It was crowded, almost full. We ordered a generous sashimi assortment for 1,000 yen, with a variety of thick slices. We each had a drink. The popular menu items like potato salad and simmered dishes were also delicious. Two beers and one shochu came to around 2,000 yen. This is a great deal for the quality and atmosphere, similar to Makotoya in Hatsudai and Uohira for the food. It's a great find in the Fudo-dori shopping street. This place is sure to become popular.

The food was cheap, generous in portion, and delicious. The Mentaiko Spaghetti Salad for ¥190 was homemade and had thin noodles with a good texture, plenty of mentaiko, scrambled eggs, and corn. It's a good dish for those who like to drink. The Fish Head Stew for ¥390 had a large buri (yellowtail) head that was surprisingly mild in flavor with plenty of fat. It goes well with alcohol and makes you want more rice. The drinks are reasonably priced, with a Highball and Lemon Sour for ¥290 each. I would definitely like to visit this restaurant again.

I went around 7pm on a weekday. After we were seated, the restaurant quickly filled up and became full! I consider myself a seafood lover, and this place was perfect for me! The menu had a wide variety of local sake, which paired perfectly with the sashimi. The sashimi platter was surprisingly large and the freshness was top-notch! The prices were reasonable and the cost performance was great! I definitely want to come back again! Thank you for the meal!
