The course with 2-hour all-you-can-drink option had a good amount of sashimi and the hitsumabushi was delicious. There were many varieties, but I wish there was a bit more quantity. It was really delicious. Thank you very much.

Every year, we have a traditional New Year's party with around 10 members from our company who get along well. For the past few years, I have been in charge of choosing the restaurant. While the company covers all expenses, I try to choose a place with a good atmosphere and cost performance, priced around 3,000 to 4,000 yen per person for an all-you-can-drink option. This time, I made a reservation for the "Midori Oni Course" at "Akao Nikai Fukushima Store" near ABC Asahi Broadcasting for 3,500 yen per person. The course includes a choice of main hot pot such as "sesame miso chanko hot pot" (with ramen as the finale), "yuzu salt chicken tsukune hot pot" (with Sanuki udon as the finale), "Korean-style jjigae hot pot" (with ramen as the finale), "Hakata-style soy tripe hot pot" (with ramen as the finale), or "Yamakai chiri hot pot" (with Sanuki udon as the finale). In addition, it includes dishes like camembert cheese tofu, a variety of Japanese and Western appetizers, fresh sashimi carpaccio, chicken nanban, bacon and sausage handmade mixed pizza, and handmade sweets. We selected the popular "sesame miso chanko hot pot" when making the reservation. The restaurant has a calm atmosphere and can accommodate large groups on the 2nd and 3rd floors. We were seated in a private room on the 2nd floor with spacious sunken kotatsu seating. We started with a toast with draft beer poured from a pitcher into empty mugs, followed by individual servings of camembert cheese tofu and a variety of Japanese and Western appetizers. After the hot pot was set up on the table, we enjoyed sashimi carpaccio. As the chanko hot pot cooked, we were served dishes like grated yam omelet, bacon and sausage pizza, and chicken nanban with tartar sauce. The meal ended with ramen as the finale of the hot pot and chocolate mousse for dessert. Everyone who attended was satisfied with the food and atmosphere, and we had a great time at the New Year's party.

I went to a work party. I didn't take any photos. It was nice because we had a private room and it was easy to talk to everyone.

The food at this restaurant is worth the price.

Delicious

We all went to the restaurant together.

Everything I eat is delicious!!!

We went as a group on a regular night. The restaurant is a three-story house with a great atmosphere. We ordered various dishes a la carte and shared them. The menu is handwritten and colorful, very cute! The Camembert cheese tofu was a unique taste experience, with the tofu tasting like Camembert cheese! The flavor was decent, but the smooth texture was nice. The mixed grated yam omelette had shrimp and squid in it, was fluffy and delicious! The chopped seaweed added a nice touch! The fried mochi was stretchy and comforting, very tasty! The dessert, fondant chocolate, was hot and the chocolate was gooey and delicious! It came with ice cream, which made it even better! There were many items on the menu, and we all had a great time chatting and enjoying ourselves. The relaxed atmosphere was great. Thank you for the meal.

We had a banquet in Fukushima. It's just across the street from Asahi Broadcasting. The organizer did a great job finding this place. Today's meal is the "Green Demon Course - 10 dishes in total" with all-you-can-drink included. The all-you-can-drink option is the premium course for an additional \380, which includes local sake and shochu. When we asked the staff, they said the venue is on the third floor. As we climbed the stairs, we found out that the third floor was reserved just for us. As expected from a place called Red Demon House, there were demon decorations around. We started with a toast with beer. The appetizers were small cubes of cold tofu and Camembert cheese tofu. It was a pleasant surprise. The meal continued with pork cold shabu-shabu and water eggplant spring rolls with special Yurin sauce. The potato and broccoli mentaiko cheese grill was delicious. We also had highball and seafood avocado Korean salad with special Yukke sauce. The meal included cheese-fried fish cake and chicken nanban with homemade tartar sauce. The chicken nanban was not too sweet and sour, and it was served with tartar sauce, which I enjoyed. Next was grated yam and egg omelet. Instead of yakisoba, we were served spicy yakisomen with a delicious sauce similar to Nissin's yakisoba. The meal ended with a large pot of freshly cooked seafood pilaf. Finally, we had a homemade dessert. The Green Demon Course for \3,500 with all-you-can-drink for an additional \380 was definitely worth the price.

This is my second visit. We used it as a group both times. There are plenty of seats, so it's convenient for group use. It's a bit of a walk from Fukushima Station, but the location in Fukushima Ward is good. This time we had a hot pot and various other dishes. Even just the hot pot was enough to fill us up, but more and more dishes kept coming. The cost performance is amazing. As a small eater, I couldn't finish all the food, but I think younger people would be happy with the portion size.

At the restaurant "Akaoi-ya" in Shin-Fukushima, we had a banquet. The second and third floors have sunken kotatsu-style seating for groups. We were seated on the second floor, and as we waited, the members started to arrive. The Capellini appetizer was delicious, but I forgot to take a photo ^^;; The sashimi and spring rolls were tasty, but the appearance of hot dogs seemed like they were aiming for cost-effectiveness. Were they trying to fill us up with this? Anyway, the salad was substantial and tasty. The cold pasta was delicious. The fried foods were good, with shrimp providing a satisfying bite. The meat was also good. By now, we were quite full. The finale was the mixed rice dish. There was also dessert. Towards the end, some familiar faces came down from the third floor...^^;; Well, if everyone is using it, it must be reasonably priced and good. By the way, the all-you-can-drink option included freshly squeezed chu-hai, which was delicious. Thank you for the meal~♪

Before posting a review, I visited for the second time. In short, the usability, calmness, and comfort for solo diners are excellent. The atmosphere is not disturbed even for solo diners, and the place is comfortable. The price is reasonable, not too cheap or expensive. It is a good place for 2 to 4 people to visit. The criteria for judging an izakaya are the speed of serving the first drink, the average price of drinks, the speed of serving dishes, price, appearance, quantity, and overall cost performance. This place is user-friendly and a good candidate for repeat visits. I also like that the menu is extensive. In January 2014, I revisited. Fukushima is a highly competitive area with many high-level restaurants. Despite being quite high-level, this place doesn't seem to have good reviews. The counter seats are great, and the food is more than enough. I've been here more than 10 times and have never been disappointed with the regular or seasonal menu. The sashimi is better than at some sushi restaurants, and overall, the food is delicious. In April 2014, I revisited. The sashimi platter is not top-grade but is good enough for a B-grade izakaya. The fried potatoes with new potatoes are delicious. I want to go to Toyama for work. In December 2014, I revisited. My previous rating was 2.6, but due to a certain incident, I have changed it to 1.0. It's a shame because I used to love this place, but I doubt I will visit again. In June 2015, I revisited after six months. If not for that incident, this would be a highly rated restaurant. I will adjust my rating from 1.0 to 1.5 for now, but further confirmation is needed.

The company's drinking party was reserved at "Akao Nikoya Fukushima store". It was my first visit, although I used to go there often when it was near my company. A course meal was already reserved, costing 4500 yen, but the food that came out was quite good, with free-flowing drinks, of course. I remember dishes such as Bagna Cauda (style), sashimi, fresh spring rolls, salad, tamagoyaki (style), somen (mentaiko pasta style), ice cream, etc. A fusion of Western and Japanese cuisine with a strong creative touch, and the volume was quite good for the price. There were about 20 people, and we used the sunken kotatsu on the 2nd floor. The staff at the restaurant were very energetic, always dashing up and down the stairs! It was a lively and pleasant place. The price was reasonable, the food was decent. I think it's a restaurant that is easy to use even for young people. It was a great drinking party. Thank you for the meal~

I visited this restaurant a while ago and had a Caesar salad, shrimp mayo dish, and tempura which were quite ordinary. The service was friendly but a bit slow with the drinks. There were some mistakes with the table number and we ended up with extra drinks. It seemed like maybe they had new staff who were not quite in sync. It was a bit disappointing, but I hope they improve by my next visit. Thank you for the meal!

The interior has a very chic atmosphere, very calming and I like it♪ On the contrary, the name "Akao-ni House" doesn't really suit it, right? The dishes are creative and not really fitting for the name! (wry smile) - Braised octopus and daikon: $5.30 - Rolled omelet in Akashi-yaki style: $4.80 - Seared duck and fresh asparagus spring rolls in Peking duck style: $5.50 - Akao-ni House's Pizza - with mentaiko mayonnaise: $5.50 From Japanese to Western, there's an interesting lineup of dishes! The octopus and daikon simmer is tasty even for an old guy like me, the seasoned taste for seniors is appreciated! Using Akashi-yaki broth for the rolled omelet is gentle and nice! Turning spring rolls into Peking duck style is a good idea~ haha However, for an old guy who's not a big fan of balsamic vinegar, this was... well, starting today, I'll like it♪ (laughs) Using mentaiko mayo for the pizza is kind of cheating, or rather, sly, right!? (wry smile) But without a doubt, it's a surefire delicious taste, baby~ (laughs) After drinking a lot, we requested original cocktails! - Akao-ni Cocktail - Aooni Cocktail - Kiiro-ni Cocktail Akao-ni Cocktail, Aooni Cocktail, Kiiro-ni Cocktail, Akao-ni Cocktail, Aooni Cocktail, Kiiro-ni Cocktail, Akao-ni Cocktail, Aooni Cocktail, Kiiro-ni Cocktail, Akao-ni Cocktail, Aooni Cocktail, Kiiro-ni Cocktail, Akao-ni Cocktail, Aooni Cocktail, Kiiro-ni Cocktail, Akao-ni Cocktail, Aooni Cocktail, Kiiro-ni Cocktail... Oh, I bit my tongue! (Was that a tongue twister!)

I knew this place, you know. I had visited it once before it moved. But, I can't remember what I had there... So, after many years, I decided to visit again. After work! It used to be a second-floor space in a building, but now it has become a three-story standalone building! The first floor has a cozy atmosphere with indirect lighting and a folk art feel. The atmosphere is nice, but I wonder about the food. So, I decided to order a draft beer first! The appetizer... I'm sorry, I forgot. And then I ordered a sashimi platter, salad, and sesame tartare! After a short wait, the sashimi arrived and it was amazing! The chef really knows how to slice sashimi properly! The salad that arrived later was also great with a generous amount of ingredients and a perfect dressing. Oh, my beer is gone! I'm sorry, I'll have a hot sake for ¥399! Then the sesame tartare arrived! The avocado and tuna were perfectly mixed in the tartare! I enjoyed it with the remaining sashimi and hot sake. And then, I noticed a menu item! Fresh watermelon chu-hai! Out of curiosity, I decided to try it. It was convincing enough with a glass filled with fresh watermelon chu-hai! I took a sip. Not sweet! Just like life driven by curiosity! Not sweet! It doesn't interfere with the food! Amazing, Akooni-ya! Serving such delicious food with such outstanding taste! I kept enjoying the sesame tartare. Now, what should I have for dessert? Oh no! Curiosity is like Cinderella! The last train of curiosity is coming! I had the watermelon in the glass as a dessert and quickly headed home. But, I didn't expect this place to be so good... Toudai Motoki! No, the light is dim under the lighthouse! I look forward to what they will serve next time with my curiosity rushing home!

Less than a 10-minute walk from JR Fukushima Station. Many tempting restaurants on the way from the station to the shop. Chose the all-you-can-drink hotpot course (forgot the price) with harami and hormone hotpot. The hotpot was already set on the table, just needed to light the fire. The appetizers were ankimo with ponzu sauce and cheese tofu, perfect for toasting. Next, a sashimi platter, pretty standard. Followed by cheese cutlet with demi-glace sauce, quite hearty even with the hotpot. And then, unexpectedly, chicken nanban!! Really hearty... Fried dishes like this are common in cheap chain izakayas, but these were not too heavy and quite tasty. Still, stomach was filling up fast. Is it okay with more hotpot to come? The spicy harami hormone hotpot was quite generous. But the spiciness made it easy to eat with beer. And just when I thought that was it, mentaiko baked somen appeared!! How much more can I eat? And then, chicken wing karage came out (lol). To finish, cheese risotto. The risotto, soaked up with the broth, was incredibly filling (lol). Couldn't handle any more beer. Probably less than 5,000 yen with all-you-can-drink. First time experiencing such a high-volume course (lol). The food was above average, but the cost-performance ratio might be a bit high. The sunken kotatsu seats were quite cramped. Ending with a complimentary photo is typical of drinking parties (lol). Thank you for the feast♪

On the weekend, without deciding on a specific restaurant, I ended up at a Japanese-Western fusion dining called "Akaokeya" in Fukushima. Inside the restaurant, there were cute red demons scattered around, and the lighting tone was nice. The staff at the restaurant were also very friendly. There were counter seats and banquet seats available. The counter seats were spaced out nicely, and even at the banquet seats, you wouldn't have your back facing the crowd, so as long as people weren't being too loud, you could enjoy your meal and drinks. It seemed like a good place for solo dining as well. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Beers started from 315 yen for a small size. Right now, you can get a pitcher of draft beer (1400ml) for 880 yen (excluding tax) at the restaurant. Overall, it was a great place for both drinking and dining.
