My classmates are all living with the weight of present-day Japan on their shoulders. They are working tirelessly day and night to make this country better. The only time they can gather is at the end of the year. However, there are no open restaurants at that early hour. But this restaurant opened much earlier than its usual time. They said on the phone, "Sure, but it's only for 2 hours..." Of course, the food is really delicious. Everything I ate was tasty. Chicken nanban, satsuma-age, horse sashimi, all delicious Kyushu specialties. And of course, the shochu selection is extensive and high quality. I thoroughly enjoyed my 2-hour visit. I will definitely visit again.

There is nothing delicious here... They offer all-you-can-eat fried chicken, mentaiko (spicy cod roe), and pickled vegetables, but there are no customers. It was written as "mentaiko," but it was spicy mentaiko. They have a menu called Hakata ramen, but the noodles are medium-thick and chewy, and the soup is a thin pork bone base that is somewhat diluted and light, not what you would expect from Hakata ramen. Even the fried chicken... it was good that there was salt on the table at least. Thank you for the meal.

The food and drinks are served very quickly! Everything is consistently delicious. It's always fully booked for reservations, which is understandable. Ordering is also easy with a smartphone. We finished eating in about an hour and a half and left. However, the space between tables is narrow, so it feels a bit cramped. It would be appreciated if there was a layout with more space between tables.

Visited for a company social gathering. They advertise Satsuma cuisine, but it's just a normal izakaya. It's neither good nor bad, just a suitable place for chatting with close colleagues. We had a course meal and it was quite filling. Thank you for the meal.

It's a gathering of my wife's middle school classmates at Kawachiya. It's like a girls' night out, but each person's spouse also joins. This time, one couple couldn't make it due to a family tragedy. It's a bit of an unusual mix. One pair is a mother and daughter. No problem at all, but I wonder if the daughter will be okay surrounded by older ladies and gentlemen? Well, at this age, losing close family members becomes more common. Kawachiya also bid farewell to an aunt last week. Still, we don't meet many times a year, so when we do, it's lively. It was a "nomikata" (drinking party in Kagoshima dialect) in Kyobashi, a somewhat deep place. The appetizers served on a large ladle were stylish. The rules are simple: order what you want to eat, no need to share, and no restrictions on what you order. So we ordered various dishes. Bonito sashimi, chicken nanban, live Kawahagi sashimi, satsuma-age, and more. The interesting thing about this place is the shochu "mantan." For example, if you order a bottle of Kuro Kirishima, which is a 5-go bottle, if there's any left, if you come back within 2 months, it will be served as "mantan." Kawachiya succumbed to this temptation. I ordered chicken skin with ponzu and desperately drank it, straight on the rocks. We spent 2 and a half hours there. I only found out about this system towards the end. From then on, Kawachiya drank like there was no tomorrow. Oh, my wife helped too. By the time we left the restaurant, I wasn't just tipsy, I was pretty gone. "Wait for me, auntie," kind of state. Oh no, oh no, but we headed to the second round!

Since I had horse sashimi in Kumamoto before, I have become a big fan of it. So, I decided to enjoy horse sashimi again at this restaurant. Unfortunately, they didn't have live squid sashimi, which I was really looking forward to. So, I focused on enjoying the horse sashimi instead. I went for the horse sashimi assortment of 6 kinds. Also, they were having a sea urchin fair, and the staff recommended the "seared sea bream with sea urchin on top" dish, so I decided to try it. The horse sashimi was delicious as always. The portion size and thickness were just right. As for the sea bream with sea urchin, I was pleasantly surprised by the generous amount of sea urchin on top. The sea bream's flavor got a bit overshadowed by the strong taste of sea urchin, but it was still enjoyable. The fried chicken skewers were my personal favorite, crispy, fluffy, and juicy. Finally, I warmed up with a hot udon soup with flying fish broth. I was disappointed that I couldn't have the squid, but overall, I was very satisfied with the other dishes. There are still many dishes I want to try, so I will definitely come back for a rematch next time, including the squid!

The old man had a drink at the izakaya "Gokamon" in Kyobashi. It's a place he used for a company party with colleagues. The food here is quite delicious. Their specialty is Satsuma cuisine, but what he had first was horse sashimi. The melting flavor was delicious. Next, he had Satsuma-age, which went well with beer. Then, the standard izakaya dish, sashimi. The fish was sea bream, with a delicious firm texture. It truly felt like the king of fish. The final main dish was meat, offering a variety from fish to meat. The room was a private room, and the atmosphere was comfortable. It's a highly recommended izakaya. If you have the chance, please give it a try! (＾＾) Click below ↓

After visiting for the first time in two years, I found that the menu for the famous local cuisine in Kyushu had changed quite a bit. I decided to try the Miyazaki specialty, Spicy Noodle Set Meal. It came with spicy noodles, rice, fried chicken, pickled vegetables, and cod roe, and I was very satisfied. You can have unlimited refills of the fried chicken, pickled vegetables, and cod roe.

The menu variety is limited, so it would be better if there were more options. The sweet potato salad and dango here are delicious. ◎

It was all new to me. It was delicious.

I was researching where to go with a squid lover in Kyobashi, but it seems that the squid didn't arrive in time for today's preparation, so we couldn't have it. We were a bit disappointed but managed to find some hot satsuma-age with squid legs in it, and ended up enjoying it together. We felt like we were being tested by this meeting that disrupted our plans, but everything turned out fine in the end. We high-fived each other and parted ways under the guard. We agreed to come back again with the coupon for more fun.

This restaurant serves fresh fish. The recommended dish is definitely the fresh squid! It was so delicious that it melted in my mouth. I also enjoyed the half sashimi, half salt-grilled nodoguro (blackthroat seaperch). I left feeling completely satisfied.

We enjoyed a great value course meal with my classmates. The variety of small dishes served as appetizers was impressive and delicious. However, the portion for the sukiyaki at the end was a bit small. The meat was a bit fatty, and some people might not be used to the cabbage instead of napa cabbage. The broth was a little sweet for my taste, but overall the flavors were good. The restaurant was busy and they announced last order and closing multiple times, so punctuality is a must.

The food was delicious and the service was very pleasant.

The food was delicious for the price. The seating was separated and I was able to relax. It would be even better if there was an elevator.
