In March 2022, at Toritaro-san, a yakitori izakaya near the south exit of Teine Station, you can enjoy delicious and affordable food in a lively atmosphere. Even on weekdays, it's surprisingly bustling. I sat at the counter and enjoyed a cold glass of Asahi beer for 530 yen. The appetizer, "Ika Sansho-zuke" with a chewy texture, was tasty with a spicy-salty flavor. Today's recommended dish was "Tai sashimi" for 638 yen, which was fresh and served in thick slices with a dry daikon garnish. I also tried the sand liver and nori tsukune skewers for 190 yen each, which were delicious. I ordered a green tea highball for 420 yen, but when I tried to add more skewers, I was informed that they were sold out. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

We had draft beer, octopus with dashi, rolled omelette with salmon, yellowtail and salmon sashimi, pork skewers, tempura, natto and whitebait pizza at Toritaro for our third stop. We ordered a lot, but it was delicious! The natto and whitebait pizza was surprisingly good, the combination worked well together.

I went last week and it was better than I expected, so I made another reservation with Go To Eat at the last minute. I downloaded the app the other day and got a discount on all-you-can-drink for 1180 yen for 2 hours this time. This time, there were only two of us, so we sat at the counter. I ordered chicken skewers again, even though I thought to myself, "How many skewers can we eat in one day?" You can order just one skewer, which is very reasonable. They're a bit small though. I couldn't order the delicious steamed scallops with sake last time because I was too full, so I ordered it this time with Hakkaisan sake. The staff poured the sake into a ladle and poured it out with a splash, doing everything for us. They even offered us the bottle and a photo opportunity. The staff here is very friendly. The menu consists of affordable shellfish such as baby scallops and mussels, and they are all tasty without any disappointments. The stretchy meatballs with mozzarella are really fun to eat as the cheese stretches. And the meatballs are delicious too. I was surprised last time, but the meatballs at this restaurant are really delicious. I like them. Oh, there was a coupon for the stretchy meatballs. It was 250 yen, but it was discounted to 150 yen. I didn't know about it. When I looked at the receipt at home, I saw that the coupon had been applied. The staff here are so thoughtful and nice! I'll definitely have to go back again. Thank you for the meal!

I received several invitations from Jimoti, but couldn't find the right timing to visit until now. I wish I had come earlier. The food was delicious (*´▽｀*) I had already eaten at a few places, so I was quite full... but I always drink at least 3 beers, so the all-you-can-drink beer for 90 minutes at 1380 yen, or 1180 yen with app registration, was a great deal (*´▽｀*) We had appetizers, Hawaiian poke salad, and nori tsukune. I'm not a big fan of tsukune, but it tasted amazing with the seaweed. The salad was also very generous and fresh. There are still many other tempting dishes on the menu, and I regret not coming here sooner even though I live in Teine! You can order skewers individually, making it suitable for both solo diners and large groups (*´ω｀*) They have sunken kotatsu seating, so it's also family-friendly and perfect for families with children. Takeout is also available from 3 pm onwards. I definitely want to come back here when I'm hungry next time. There are still more great restaurants around Teine Station. Thank you for the delicious meal (*´▽｀*)

In Sapporo, near JR Teine Station, I went to a izakaya for drinks with a similar vibe to the first place. It was a fun and enjoyable experience where you can have a good chat. They offer a 120-minute all-you-can-drink deal including beer for 1380 yen, but if you register with the Toritaro app, you can get it for 1180 yen (only one person needs to register). The service was amazing with no food requirements. The appetizer costs 330 yen and includes spicy daikon with grated radish, wasabi leaves for 480 yen, nori tsukune for 165 yen, and Hawaiian poke salad for 730 yen. The dishes were all delicious and there were no disappointments. It was a safe and reliable choice for a great dining experience. Thank you for the meal.

I had some business to attend to and left work early to go to Teine. I returned to Teine Station around 4:30 pm, so I decided to have a drink before heading home. The chain restaurants were already open before 5:00 pm, while the smaller individual restaurants seemed to open around that time. Some of the individual restaurants listed on Tabelog were not open yet, maybe due to the influence of the coronavirus? I ordered a draft beer for 486 yen, an appetizer for 356 yen, Teine-yaki for 418 yen, smoked herring and cream cheese for 528 yen, and a highball for 410 yen. There wasn't a special happy hour or set menu, so the prices were a bit on the higher side. However, the appetizer was delicious, and the Teine-yaki had a rich miso flavor that I enjoyed. The smoked herring was a perfect snack with the drinks! I look forward to exploring this area more once things settle down. Thank you for the meal!

On a Saturday evening in August 2019, I received a message from my family to go drinking in Teine, so I rushed over to Toritaro from my workplace. They had a drink-all-you-can option for 1,490 yen, so I started with beer. The appetizer was priced at 302 yen and it was a simmered dish, which I thought was good. The pork and chicken skewers were lukewarm, so they were just okay. The crispy fried chicken wings with medium spiciness were delicious and went well with beer. The set of 5 chicken tenderloins with wasabi leaves was a great combination. The strong matcha highball, with lots of matcha powder, was tasty. It was a smoking allowed establishment, so it was quite smoky. After returning home, my mother and husband got drunk and started arguing, which made for a rough end to the night. I learned the difficulty of mediating drunk arguments.

It was a very busy restaurant and the yakitori was delicious and affordable.

First and second rounds in Susukino. Let's continue drinking in Teine and have a third round by JR. Well, let's have some yakitori while drinking a bit more! I came with a Teine resident like myself and an old man from Ishikari City. We went to the usual Toritaro restaurant right near Teine Station South Exit. Come to think of it, we haven't had salad yet, and a little grilled dish too. Let's finish with a parfait, and cheers with Smirnoff! For dishes, we had scallops and daikon salad, pork skewers, chicken skewers, tsukune, and gyoza. The taste is consistently good around here. Smirnoff tastes like juice and is delicious! I can have many cups of this (*´∇｀*) It's delicious because it's sweet. Let's have Smirnoff for the drinking party from now on! The final touch is the parfait! Nighttime ice cream is the best! Now let's go to another bar in Teine! Thank you for the meal!

When you're in a pinch, Toritaro is the place to go. It's a reasonably priced izakaya where you can enjoy a variety of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes, making it suitable for people with different tastes. It's a great place to hang out with friendly members or family, enjoying drinks and food together. I live in Teine and organize casual drinking and dining events for those who don't drink much. So, I'll toast with beer, while others can choose juice. Our order includes chicken skewers, pork skewers, pork kimchi skewers, chicken cartilage skewers, mochi bacon skewers, ramen salad, octopus carpaccio, cheese omelette, dynamite rolls, fresh spring rolls, sauce yakisoba, potatoes, and three types of dessert. We might be overeating, but the grilled chicken skewers are delicious when eaten warm. No matter which restaurant you go to, you can always say that the dishes are worth the price, with generous portions and quality that satisfies. The carb-rich dynamite rolls (seaweed rolls with plenty of wasabi) make for a fun punishment game and are irresistible to wasabi lovers. Definitely worth a try! However, the mille-feuille tower we had for dessert looked impressive but left our mouths feeling a bit dry from all the cream and pastry layers. It would have been better with some ice cream inside. We had a great time chatting and eating, feeling satisfied at the end of the meal. Thank you for the delicious food!

JR Teine Station South Exit, if you walk to the left for about 100 meters, you will find a corner with various dining establishments, and among them is the main store of the chain restaurant "Toritaro" located in Kotoni. The interior of the restaurant has raised seating, counter seating, and table seating. The recommended dish at Toritaro is definitely the yakitori, but they also have a wide variety of other menu items. Start by ordering a draft beer and checking out the yakitori menu. Among the yakitori, Toritaro's recommended menu item, tsukune, stands out. I have visited a few times in the past, and the tsukune is delicious, especially the tare (sauce) flavor. It goes well with the draft beer. Another recommended dish is the deep-fried half chicken. It takes a bit of time to fry, so it's best to order it in advance. Also, ask them to cut it after frying for easier eating. While waiting, the tsukune arrives. The shiny tare looks delicious. It comes with quail eggs, so crack one open and dip the tsukune in it. Mmm, it's delicious. The tare and egg complement each other. The beer also goes well. Oh, the hot half chicken has also been brought in a cut state. The hot half chicken is well-seasoned, making it another great dish to enjoy with beer. The skin is crispy, the meat is juicy, it's irresistible. Toritaro equals the deep-fried half chicken, which is highly recommended. It's a great place for gatherings and drinking parties. I'll be back. Thank you for the meal.

Torataro always looked at the signboards from the train, so he was curious, but this time, he finally got to go. He was guided to a sunken hearth. I thought most of the menu would be yakitori, but the menu was more varied than I thought. It's as abundant as Tsubohachi or even more. There are also children's menus such as pizza and french fries that children would like, so it's okay for families to come. I ordered yakitori as the main dish and the chicken wings tempura that I was looking forward to. You can choose from three flavors, and this time I chose sweet and spicy. Now, as for the taste, hmm. It's sweet and spicy and delicious. Today, (probably) three groups of university students came, and it was very lively. The other menus were also delicious. Thank you for the meal.

JR Teine Station South Exit, near the rotary in front of the station, just a short walk towards Sapporo side! Visited for the first time at a university seminar drinking party on April 19, 2013. The course was 3500 yen per person, with 10 dishes shown in the picture and all-you-can-drink from the drink menu in the picture! I don't remember the exact time because I was drunk, but it didn't take long from ordering drinks to serving them. The yakitori was delicious. I just wish I could have eaten two skewers of the same type of yakitori per person. I like drinking apricot liquor straight without ice, and the staff kindly accommodated my preference.

Tori Taro Teine Store Theme: Izakaya Tori Taro Teine Store 3-5-3 Teine Honcho, Teine-ku, Sapporo City Located on the left side after exiting Teine Station South Exit, this izakaya has been popular in Sapporo for a long time with several branches. It's always crowded. This time, I visited for a party. We started with kakiage and saury sashimi, which was delicious. The grilled chicken skewers with thigh, pork, and tsukune were excellent. The salad and chicken wing karaage were also tasty. There were some issues with the all-you-can-drink service for a large group, but overall, we were satisfied. Tori Taro never disappoints.

I wonder how many drinking parties I've had here already... When it comes to Teine Station, this is the place to be, right? I graduated from Teine Chuo Elementary School, and most of our class reunions are held here. The best part is that it's delicious and cheap! The main dish is yakitori, but the most recommended item is the pasta! The pasta was so delicious. The pasta mixed on top of a huge Parmesan cheese is absolutely amazing. You must try it at least once!

It has been many years since the Kinji-like main store opened in Teine Station. I used to frequent this restaurant often. By becoming a member, you could get a 10% discount and accumulate points for gift certificates. However, it has been many years since my one-year membership card expired. The Yoro Waterfall next door disappeared, turning into a banquet hall for this restaurant about 10 years ago. Yet, especially on weekends around 10:30 pm, when I get off at the station, I always end up going to this restaurant. This restaurant stays open late at night. The neighboring Tsubohachi Teine store and Hachime close early. Occasionally, I also visit the delicious food bar on the 2nd floor, which closes early. I wonder how they manage to thrive in this environment. The ramen shop, Ramen Juhachiban, on the corner closed down, and the newly opened ramen shop also eventually went out of business. There was a time when there was a restaurant that served instant ramen from all over the country, which attracted attention and I visited quite often, but that too disappeared. I will write about Bansei and Taishu Sushi at some point. Now, on this day, we opted for a 90-minute all-you-can-drink option and drank to our heart's content with two people. The side dishes included mozuku seaweed, sasami mentaiko, chicken skin, chicken wings, Genghis Khan skewers, tomato bacon, and potato mentaiko gratin. The bill came to just over 6000 yen. As the name suggests, Toritaro offers large and delicious yakitori. Not only yakitori, but the other menu items are also satisfying. While there are sushi and other filling options, unfortunately, I have never tried them. The selection of local sake is abundant and relatively inexpensive, but if you don't choose carefully, the all-you-can-drink option is definitely more cost-effective. The only downside is that the curry that used to be on the menu has disappeared. Apart from yakitori, the menu sometimes changes drastically. By the way, what is the gold ornament displayed in the center of the restaurant in a case? It may be a symbol of a chain store or something, but it gives off a slightly eerie feeling. The staff are all cheerful and friendly, but the floor tends to shake when walking around, which can be a bit challenging.

The course was good enough! I think yakitori would be delicious after all. The hot pot used pork belly and it was a bit salty!

This is Toritaro near Teine Station. I had a lot of carbs for lunch, so I'm cutting back on sugar at home in the evening! It's hard to see results just by adjusting at night. Toritaro is a regular for takeout at my house. Everything goes smoothly when I call ahead and make a reservation. In terms of yakitori izakaya, the cost performance is not bad, and I think the taste and volume are above average. Especially the cartilage and pork skewers are delicious! We enjoyed it with wine in stock. Thank you for the meal!

The hot weather continues, and I don't have much of an appetite. I'm trying to eat just my favorite foods to stay energized. Tonight, my husband had a drinking party, so I didn't have dinner and just lounged around... He brought home yakitori as a souvenir, thinking I would eat it. We've used this place for drinking parties many times, but today I will review the yakitori he brought back. He ordered two of each: hormone, tongue, pork, and gizzard, for a total of eight skewers. They were still warm, so they were delicious. Especially the hormone was my favorite, with little smell and a good texture. I enjoyed them with a lot of ice in my recently purchased vacuum insulated tumbler, drinking chuhai. It was the best. I might be into getting snacks that go well with chuhai for a while because I love this tumbler so much.
