I went to this restaurant after seeing it on Tabelog and it looked delicious. It was almost full, with regulars and first-timers mixed together. It seemed like a place for locals, but I decided to give it a try. The fish dishes seemed popular (laughs). I went for the three dishes for 1,000 yen option, so I could choose my favorites. It was a bit pricey, but it was delicious. ⭐

It's the usual gathering. Today we're sitting at the counter seats. All-you-can-eat favorite side dishes. But to be honest, there isn't anything that stands out. I divide the dishes between the group and myself. Started with 2 beers, then switched to 2 highballs, and finally ended up with sake. The katsu sandwich, which was supposed to be their specialty, was a disappointment. However, the simmered fish, which I was hesitant to try, turned out to be delicious. I also had a bit of the potato salad that was included. Thank you for the meal.

It's our usual gathering with three people, including some amateurs. So, I took the lead in serving drinks. I'm still considered a young member (laughs). The appetizers today were a bit disappointing. The potato salad was delicious. The spring rolls were large though. The simmered butterbur was excellent. The sashimi platter, the tuna here had a bit of a tendon texture which was a shame. The scallops were thick, fresh, and pleasantly chewy. We had 3 beers, 2 highballs, and finished with Upstream Daigaku Gorou's Sake. Thank you for the meal.

Lunch was at the nearby "Yakiniku Dining MEGUMI". After that, I took a walk in Nakajima Park and checked into the Daiwa Roynet Hotel Sapporo Nakajima Park. Dinner was at the hotel. It was a Tuesday around 5:00 PM. There was one customer before me and no one after. I chose a seat at the counter. I started with a beer, Maruef Nama for 600 yen. The appetizer was Tarano Tane no Tempura, which had a slight bitterness and a mature taste. I chose three side dishes from a selection of about 15 options. I picked Konnyaku Stir-fry with Spicy Sauce, Stick Stick Chicken, and Deep-fried Eggplant. They were presented beautifully in a long white dish. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture before eating. They were all spicy and perfect for drinking. There were also options like Potato Salad, Yakisoba, and Simmered Flounder. I watched STV on TV while enjoying my second beer. I also ordered homemade Gyoza (5 pieces) for 500 yen. I made my own dipping sauce with soy sauce, chili oil, and vinegar. The gyoza had a chewy skin and juicy meat filling, hot off the grill. I also had an Eel Onigiri for 680 yen, which was a rice ball coated with eel sauce and filled with grilled eel, seasoned with sansho pepper and ginger. I spent 45 minutes there and paid a total of 3680 yen. It was still bright outside but getting colder. I bought wine and Pocky at the Seikomart and had a second round at the hotel by myself.

It was our usual gathering at the restaurant. We moved to Kocchi no Daisuke after a long time. This time, the number of people was a bit small, so it felt like we had more space for food and drinks. We started with a toast with beer. The side dishes were lined up on the counter, but honestly, there wasn't anything that stood out, so we just randomly picked some and brought them to the table. The sashimi platter, which you had to order to get, was fresh and quite delicious. It was a bit of a downside that it didn't come unless you ordered it, in my personal opinion. But the fatty tuna was delicious with a slight marbling. We enjoyed some sake in moderation and then called it a night. Thank you for the meal.

It's been two weeks since I last visited. I planned to go get some side dishes when everyone got tired, but people around me brought a lot of food. I'm sorry, senior members. The first thing I ate was chicken karaage with tartar sauce, it was delicious. Maybe because I was hungry. I don't mind not having yakisoba, but I was left behind. However, it was delicious when I ate it. I also enjoyed the sautéed lotus root and bacon, it never gets boring. I planned to have beer all day today. But secretly, I had some good sake and sashimi along the way, and I was in great shape. Thank you for the feast.

It's our usual banquet. We joked that it's safe outside by the Kamo River (laughs). We started with a toast with beer, our usual Asahi beer. It might taste even better if poured skillfully. The food mainly consisted of izakaya dishes. It was all-you-can-eat, but there weren't many things I particularly wanted to eat (laughs). The sweet Katsudon was to my liking. The tuna that I ordered on a whim was decent. It might have been the best dish of the night. The waitress worked hard to bring us food, but we didn't eat that much (laughs). We skipped the sake today. Thank you for the meal.

This month's gathering was held here. The place is not big enough for the number of people, it's like "Can we fit in?" It's a traditional Japanese pub, so there needs to be space for the prepared ingredients. First, beer. Asahi draft beer. Nothing special, but it's cold enough to enjoy. The staff lady recommended Unohana, but I'm not a fan (laughs). Then, a special tuna dish was served. The tuna was thick and delicious. There's nothing extraordinary, but I like the seasoning, so I think I'll come back to this place again. Thank you for the meal.

I had dinner in Sapporo! I visited the restaurant called Kateiryori Daisuke after I had some business at Nakajima Park. I arrived at 6:00 pm after making a reservation in advance. Since the restaurant has a limited number of seats, it's better to make a reservation, especially when visiting with multiple people. The company I was with was elderly, so I thought this type of restaurant would be suitable, and it turned out to be the right choice. Various dishes were ordered and all of them were delicious! Potato salad, simmered flounder, simmered eggplant, sweet potato tempura, thick rolled omelette, and more. In addition to the menu items, there were also side dishes displayed on the counter that you could order. The restaurant also had a selection of carefully selected alcoholic beverages. One thing to note is that at night, the only rice dish available is onigiri. If you're looking for a hearty meal, you might want to go eat ramen instead. It was a nice place to relax, the food was delicious, and although it's called home cooking, it's not anything unusual, but these kinds of restaurants are also great. Thank you for the meal!

Today's dinner~ I visited this restaurant for the first time, which focuses on home-cooked dishes. Their handmade dishes are perfect for pairing with alcohol. Especially their handmade sweet potato tempura is fluffy, hot, and delicious. They have many dishes that are great for drinking, so why not stop by for a drink when you feel like it?

On 2020/07/30/THU, I went to Oodachi for lunch after finishing work early. I ordered the Oomaguro Don for 800 yen, which I had been curious about for a while. The tuna sashimi looked amazing and was just what I was craving. The waitress apologized for the delay, so it seemed like they were busy. The tuna was incredibly delicious, with a nice balance of sweetness and a generous portion. The miso soup with sweet shrimp was flavorful, and the pickled ginger was just the right amount. I was so satisfied with the meal and will definitely be back for more next time.

The other day, I had a delicious tuna bowl and couldn't forget it, so I came back. While riding my bike, I was thinking about whether to order the mixed fry set that was on the menu the other day, or the sashimi set, or the tuna bowl again... When I entered the restaurant, the menu had changed. Oh well, in that case, I'll order the tuna bowl. However, the bowl that came out was different from the one the other day! It seemed like it was marinated this time. I took a bite and it didn't taste good. It only had a taste of deteriorated freshness. They probably used leftover tuna for marinating, but the freshness and taste were significantly reduced. What a disappointment for the second time today. However, the miso soup with komatsuna was tasty. Well, I understand that running a restaurant can be tough, but I hope they can clearly distinguish between what should be served to customers and what should be used for staff meals.

I happened to pass by a restaurant that had just started lunch service, so I decided to visit. I saw a sign advertising beer for 200 yen during lunch hours (11-14), so I couldn't resist ordering one, only to realize later that I had plans in the afternoon (lol). Well, one drink won't make me drunk! (lol) The glass was small, but having beer for lunch is the best♡ The sashimi set (800 yen) had a lot of variety and got me really excited!! Everything went well with alcohol♡ Upon closer inspection, I realized it was all octopus dishes (lol). The sashimi was fresh and the white fish marinated in kelp was especially delicious. The set even included self-serve coffee after the meal, making it a very good deal for the price. I want to try the tuna bowl next time (*'ω'*). Since it's close by, I hope this restaurant does well.

Before I knew it, a helicopter was hovering overhead every day, spreading a deafening noise. It seemed to be monitoring the city's movements, hovering around various parts of downtown. At first, it was an unpleasant presence, but with it circling the sky every day, I couldn't help but wave my hand to show my existence. In the midst of the overturning of existing values such as work and labor, seeking even a small, modest pleasure is a kind of dignity. Walking proudly from Susukino in the middle of the day to Nakajima Park. Naturally, there were few people passing by. The restaurant, nestled next to the gentle sounds of the Kamokawa River, was also open for lunch. Inside the restaurant, contrary to the appearance of the city, there were regulars from the neighborhood and office workers. What to choose from the daily lunch menu? All the options based on fish were tantalizing. Among them, I chose the "Tuna Bowl," which is not often eaten in daily life. The restaurant starting lunch at night is probably a desperate measure. To keep a restaurant in the center of a city where people don't go out, and a little away from Susukino, compromises and decisions are necessary. The vivid red color was reminiscent of raw beef, and the tuna, generously covering the rice, had a luxurious taste with plenty of fatty meat mixed with various parts creating a confusing flavor and texture, sometimes resembling yellowtail. Perhaps it was due to the way it was marinated, this tuna, while being tuna, sometimes confused with the flavor and texture of yellowtail. If I were to mention criticism, it might be that this rare chance encounter happened precisely because of the situation that led to it. A rare chance encounter is an extraordinary inevitability. I slowly sip on the coffee after the meal. I realized that the coffee wasn't being brought to me, and then I realized it was self-service. Perhaps, due to being unfamiliar with the lunch style, they set up a self-service coffee station hastily. I savor the coffee slowly. The delicious meal eaten in a decadent world where the future is incomprehensible felt like the last lunch prepared for the end of the world.

During the state of emergency, all night businesses are offering lunch. Based on the information from reviewers, I came to this restaurant located on the outskirts of Susukino. My aim for the day was the tuna bowl priced at 800 yen. There are a few customers in the restaurant, and it seems like many of them are regulars. Everyone seems to be here to show their support. Now, the tuna bowl has been served. It's quite delicious. The quality of this tuna at this price point is great. The menu also offers other items like mixed fry and sashimi set at a reasonable price. However, this review was written after the state of emergency was lifted, so I'm not sure if they are still open for lunch. After the meal, I enjoyed a self-serve coffee, allowing me to relax.

Recently, night shops are open for lunch, and this shop is one of them. If you go after 12:00, it's always full. Luckily, a 4-person table opened up and we sat down. ☆Lunch Menu☆ ◯Daily special set meal ◯Curry udon set ◯Tuna bowl, all for 800 yen each. Today's daily special is grilled herring. You can help yourself to hot coffee. I ordered the curry udon set, but unfortunately they were out. So, I went for the tuna bowl instead. It was served quickly. The tuna bowl had lean tuna and medium fatty tuna. The tuna was marinated and delicious. The rice was not vinegared but freshly cooked and tasty. The miso soup had tofu, fried tofu, and onions, with a rich and tasty broth. The pickles were also good. Next time, I will definitely try the curry udon. From 11:00 to 14:00, draft beer, highball, and white wine are only 200 yen. (May 2020)

It was a private party at the restaurant. The number of people was larger than the size of the restaurant, so it felt cramped. The food was served in an obanzai style, with dishes being divided up from large plates. We started with a toast with beer. After two beers, we switched to sake. The sake we had was from Kamikawa Daigetsu Shuzo, called Kamikawa. It was light and easy to drink. The dishes were prepared with an extra touch, some of which were impressive. The grilled cherry salmon had a good amount of fat on it. The mapo tofu was slightly different from the taste I like. Close, but not quite there. We tried other dishes as well, and they were all delicious. Thank you for the meal.

This is the beginning of my summer trip to Hokkaido (*´艸｀) Starting off in Sapporo, I visited a restaurant called "Daizukisan" which has multiple locations in the city. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was really nice, and what caught my attention was that there were no young staff members - and I mean that in a good way. The counter was lined with various small dishes, and it was a proper izakaya. I ordered a beer and got myself some stir-fried green peppers with chicken liver, which I really like. I also tried the boiled sardines that were displayed on the counter. They had more bones than I expected, but it was still good. I had to leave quickly as I had other plans, but I wish there were more places like this in Tokyo.

On the second day of my business trip to Hokkaido in April 2019, I had dinner at a hotel near Nakajima Park. After a long day of work starting early in the morning, I was feeling tired. I searched online for a nearby restaurant and found "Oosuke," not "Daisuke," which seemed like a good choice. It's part of a group of restaurants. The name "Oosuke" and the fact that the clientele is older made me think it might not be too noisy. As I arrived, I saw a middle-aged customer leaving the restaurant, and I encountered a friendly older lady. The good relationship between the customers and the staff was evident right away, and the atmosphere felt welcoming. The restaurant had glass windows, so I could see inside. The customers seemed to be mostly older than me. I decided to go in. I tried the "Shikami" sake from Sapporo, which was recommended by the restaurant. It was made by the only female brewer in Hokkaido. The sake had a delicate aroma and a rich sweetness. It was really good, and I felt embarrassed for doubting it just because I didn't know about it. For food, I wanted to have some fish, so I ordered a sashimi platter and one side dish from the counter. The sashimi platter included tuna, salmon, and flounder, as well as octopus, which was delicious. The salmon and flounder were also great. I was happy with my choice of this restaurant. The younger owner (compared to the older lady) even talked to me, confirming that the restaurant used to be a soba shop in the past. The atmosphere was lively and cheerful, and the staff were attentive to me as a solo diner. I also tried the eggplant with miso sauce, which had a generous amount of sauce with a hint of ginger. The combination of flavors was excellent. The "Hokkai no Katsu" sake from Nemuro was a bit dry and suited for Japanese cuisine, but I personally preferred the "Shikami" sake. The restaurant also offered other Japanese sake options, such as the "Tanaka" junmai for 650 yen. The restaurant had a good selection of Japanese sake, which I assume is a strength of the restaurant group. The clientele, mostly older men, created a calm and pleasant atmosphere. I enjoyed getting pleasantly drunk. It was a great experience.

I was surprised when I walked into this place by chance. It has the same name as a shop in Susukino, but this one is a cozy spot with homemade dishes displayed in a showcase. There's a friendly and cheerful lady owner who jokes around, along with a quick-working guy. The walls are filled with signed baseball uniforms. The tables are occupied by older, well-built gentlemen who seem to be former baseball players, enjoying their drinks energetically. I should have visited this place sooner.
