くろあめ
I found a meat bar offering all-you-can-eat and drink for 3,300 yen online, so I decided to visit. It is located on the 2nd floor of a mixed-use building in a deep hotel area slightly off from Hankyu Higashidori. The entrance was a bit hidden, but once inside, it looked like a normal restaurant with several customers. The lighting was dimmer than in the promotional photos. The staff explained the course options, and I chose the Standard Plan I had reserved online for 3,300 yen instead of 3,800 yen, which included 70 food items and 60 drinks. Food last order was after 80 minutes, and drink last order was after 90 minutes. Each person could order one food and one drink at a time, with glass and plate exchanges. If running out, you could order the next item via a touch panel, and when the food or drink arrived, you would exchange it, so managing time well was key. There was a penalty of 300 yen for any leftover food or drink. For appetizers, I received chicken nuggets and potato fries, and then I ordered dishes like roast beef, Caesar salad, Wagyu hamburger, tomato sauce pasta, edamame aglio e olio, pork sausage, eggplant with meat sauce, homemade pickles, ratatouille, mixed ajillo, and margherita pizza. Drinks included beer, highball, sour, shochu, wine cocktails, and soft drinks. Clear Asahi beer was included, but premium beers like draft and wine were available for an additional 500 yen. You could also order ice cream for dessert during the last order. The portions were small, allowing you to try various dishes, and while the roast beef was tough and the flavors were on the strong side, the all-you-can-eat and drink deal at this price felt like a good value. Being able to eat and drink without worrying about the cost made it enjoyable. Thank you for the meal.
