There is only a little time left working in Minamiosawa. I went to a new restaurant I had never been to before for lunch at an izakaya. The pricing is reasonable and seems to be well thought out. I decided on the seafood bowl for 550 yen. They said the udon was a service, and it seemed like I wasn't the only one. With two small side dishes at this price, it is quite reasonable. The seafood bowl doesn't have a lot of ingredients and isn't very large, but you can feel the effort to make it look not meager. The rice is properly seasoned, and I really think they are trying their best with the limited price. The miso soup is also quite good. Along with pickles, nori rolls, and udon, they have considered a variety of options. The price of seafood has increased due to the Ukraine war. It is a difficult situation to balance price, appearance, and cost performance, but they have managed to scatter the ingredients to make it look good. It feels nice when they say "Have a good day" as you leave the restaurant.

This day was a busy but enjoyable holiday with movies and dates♪ I initially tried to go to a highly rated restaurant in Minamiosawa, but it seemed a bit difficult to enter as a solo customer haha. It's a shop in an outlet, so it can't be helped σ(^_^;). So, I changed my plan and visited a familiar restaurant around 11 o'clock♨ From the lunch menu, I ordered the Young Chicken Grated Ponzu Steak Set Meal (with miso soup, rice, and pickles) for 550 yen including tax. Although the shop mainly focuses on seafood, I love chicken with grated ponzu sauce♥ The dish was served in just 5 minutes after ordering! Wow, it was sizzling hot on the iron plate!! The photo is quite blurry haha. The chicken was chunky, with four large pieces resembling fried chicken sticking to the iron plate, creating a wild sear mark that I love when mixed with the grated ponzu sauce♪ Oh, but the burnt leaves were a bit of a downside haha. The amount of rice was decent, and there was a mini negitoro roll as a side dish. Since it was right after opening, there were no customers when I arrived, but there were many customers later on! The staff member was the same guy as last time, friendly and seemed to excel in customer service haha. Overall, this restaurant is located to the right after exiting the station ticket gate, inside the Paore Building. Even on holidays, they offer their regular lunch menu starting from 500 yen + tax! It's a recommended restaurant that mainly focuses on seafood. Thank you for the meal (^o^ゞ

On this day, I went to a morning bath, followed by breakfast ramen, and then watched Evangelion in Minamiosawa~ I actually wanted to go to Fuchu, but it was crowded, so I ended up in Minamiosawa. The movie was a 155-minute masterpiece, and I was a bit tired after watching it. After the movie, we headed to a bar we found. It was my first time visiting the place on a Sunday around 5 pm. The drink all-you-can for 60 minutes was 889 yen, with a 20-minute extension for 269 yen, totaling 1,158 yen. They had 3 types of draft beer, including Jukusen and Super Dry, and the staff offered a special complimentary glass of Tengu Junmai Ginjo sake from Takao, which is usually 800 yen. I also tried the Komeichizu Junmai sake and a white wine with ginger ale. They had other options like sours and highballs, and you could serve yourself. For food, I had the raw tuna with fatty tuna, which was unexpectedly delicious. The tuna cheek steak on a hot plate was also very good for its price. The place got crowded quickly after we arrived, and it seemed to be a popular spot. The staff, especially a friendly guy, recommended a special sake that was not on the all-you-can-drink menu. Overall, this place in Minamiosawa offers a variety of Japanese sake and tasty dishes, and I would like to come back to try their tempura and sushi next time. It was a great dining experience after watching a movie.

Yes~ On this day, there was a sudden Pucchimonioh meeting by my drinking buddies at IN Minamiosawa. For the second stop, we headed to this all-you-can-drink place we had been eyeing from the start~ It was my first visit in a while, and we arrived at the opening time of 5 pm on a holiday. I chose to sit at the counter by the window. The all-you-can-drink option was 889 yen for 60 minutes. We ordered the forest bird tataki sashimi for 299 yen and the grilled salted Pacific saury for 580 yen. The all-you-can-drink here is self-service, and each person is allowed only one glass. If you want to change your drink, just let the staff know and they will give you a new glass. We started with a self-poured glass of Super Dry beer and made a toast~ Although the foam overflowed a bit, it was fine, and we enjoyed sake as well. The best part was the variety of sake displayed in the fridge and on the shelves. It was fun to choose, but with a time limit, we couldn't take our time. From the photos, I think I tried at least four different kinds including Kubota. We also added 20 minutes for 269 yen, as per usual, but towards the end, my memory gets fuzzy.. Food-wise, we only had two dishes, but the forest bird tataki was refreshing and delicious. The Pacific saury was surprisingly firm and tasty~ The place started to get crowded as more people ordered the all-you-can-drink option. Oh, before we knew it, my drinking buddies and I, who had been drinking since before noon, were starting to feel a bit tipsy~ I think it's time to call it a night for now. Let's go drinking again soon, we promised each other. Thank you for the meal~(*´Д`*)

I think you should come to Asagaya. (Laughs) But can you maintain the quality when you come to Asagaya? Well, that's another issue... This was the second bar my friend took me to that night. The all-you-can-drink option had a specific time limit, so when I asked for a draft beer, they handed me a frosted beer mug. The mug was ice-cold. Ice-cold, I tell you. Then they said I could pour my own drinks. So I poured my own beer. Beer lovers can keep drinking beer endlessly, and those who prefer sake or shochu can switch as they please. The food was also quite good. I ordered the chicken sashimi because my friend likes it, and it was really delicious. The grilled Pacific saury with salt was also excellent. If the chef was there, I would have wanted to see him eat it from head to tail. The bill was surprisingly cheap, so I worried if we had paid it properly the next morning. It was truly my friend's territory. (Laughs)

I apologize for my previous review. After volunteering in Minamiosawa during the day, my friend and I visited the restaurant "Nippon Isshou Minamiosawa" in the evening for a tired party. We enjoyed some draft beer, ordered a set of gyoza and appetizers, and I finished with a ramen dish. It was a great meal!

The lunch set that was supposed to be 500 yen turned out to be 800 yen. The seafood bowl was not as delicious as expected for eating in the restaurant, and I found myself thinking that I would have been better off going to a conveyor belt sushi place instead. Looking at old photos, I can see that it would have been a good deal for 500 yen, but at this price, I'm not satisfied with the quality. The atmosphere is not bad, but the service is a bit careless. I saw a poster advertising a takeout set for home drinking, which seemed appealing.

I went for lunch and ordered a 540 yen menu, which included dishes like seafood bowl, young chicken with ponzu sauce set meal, and hokke fish set meal. The restaurant is small, but the taste matches the price. Even if you order extra rice, the bowl is small so you might get less rice. It's a good option for women.

I went at 14:00 and had the daily special set meal with oyster fry for 600 yen‼️

I went to LUNCH at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday and they were serving a seafood bowl for 500 yen.

Visited a time-limited all-you-can-drink place to have a beer while waiting for my child. I only had beer. The staff were friendly and the snacks looked delicious. I will definitely come back again! :)

Grilled chicken with grated daikon and ponzu sauce set meal → 500 yen

The service is bad, the taste is bad, and the cost performance is not good. There is nothing good about this place, the food is terrible. I don't understand why it has high ratings. I will never use it again.

At 540 yen, you can enjoy a striped Hokke set meal! A huge fan of Hokke rushed in to try it out. Even though it was past 1 PM on a Sunday, there was still a line of two people waiting outside the restaurant. When the order was placed, the Hokke set meal arrived in less than 10 minutes! Oh, wait... it's not a whole fish, just a fillet. The sign at the entrance didn't have a picture, so I didn't realize. Well, it's understandable. Getting a whole Hokke for 500 yen would be too good to be true. Despite that, the set meal felt a bit lacking overall. I received some dry Negitoro-style rolls and two wrinkled pickles. And as for the Hokke itself... it was a bit salty, but fluffy and satisfying for a Hokke lover like me. If this had cost 800 yen, I would have been disappointed, but for the price of a single coin, it's not bad. When you think of it as a one-coin meal, it seems like a reasonable deal.

When I went shopping at Mitsui Outlet Park Tama Minamiosawa, I couldn't find a lunch spot due to it being the end of the year, so I decided to head towards Minamiosawa Station and stumbled upon a 500 yen lunch at an izakaya inside Paore Building. I checked the lunch menu on the outside sign and immediately went inside. The interior had a typical izakaya atmosphere. After rechecking the menu, I ordered the young chicken grated ponzu steak set for 540 yen, and also added a sashimi platter (260 yen). It took about 5 minutes from ordering to serving. The portion was quite generous and the taste was pretty good.

Cheap and full of volume, this lunch izakaya alley-like building caught my eye with its 500 yen lunch sign. I decided to try the Young Chicken Grated Ponzu Steak Set for 500 yen (excluding tax) and added a sashimi platter for 260 yen (including tax), totaling 800 yen (including tax). On weekdays, they also serve cold udon as a service. The staff are friendly, cheerful, and make you feel good. The food is average, but considering the price (one-coin menu) for lunch, the sense of value comes first. It seems like a place that would be handy for casual dining.

On this day, after staying up all night, I decided to go on a trip around Japan. Despite being quite sleep-deprived, I was drawn to a new restaurant in Minamiosawa and visited around 3:30 pm on a holiday. It seems that the restaurant opened in November 2016. Since it was an odd time, there was only one other customer. I was seated at the counter by the window and quickly checked out the 1-hour all-you-can-drink option for 889 yen. However, I was informed that it was only available from 5 pm, and until then, the restaurant had a different setup. The extension was priced at 269 yen for every 20 minutes. Hmm, the extension seems like a better deal! The all-you-can-drink menu included 3 types of beer, 8 types of sake, 30 types of shochu, 14 types of plum wine, wine, whiskey, and more, all self-service. I decided to order a seafood bowl for 500 yen and a draft beer to kill time. The bowl had shrimp, one piece of tuna, salmon, yellowtail, two pieces of thick omelet, negitoro, and sakura denbu. Although the portion seemed a bit small, the price was reasonable. Finally, the all-you-can-drink started, and I ordered a sashimi platter for 699 yen. It was funny to have sashimi after the seafood bowl! The staff kindly explained the all-you-can-drink system to me, and I opted for sake. I was recommended a premium sake called Namazake Nabeshima Junmai Ginjo, which was served in a special way. The second drink was Kubota Senjyu, also served uniquely. The sashimi platter that arrived had tuna, yellowtail, salmon, shrimp, and scallop, a generous five-piece assortment, which was a surprise. The staff mentioned it was a complimentary service. I also tried Bass Pale Ale but failed to pour it properly due to being a bit tipsy. I ended the night with another premium sake, Dassai Junmai Ginjo. Lastly, I received a mini-size homemade cream cheese with salted kelp as a gift. Overall, the staff were enthusiastic and provided excellent service, making the all-you-can-drink offer very appealing. The restaurant is a great choice for those who enjoy drinking. Thank you for the meal.
