I visited here after attending a Jim Beam event at Akasaka. I was craving yakitori, so I searched using that keyword and made a reservation here. The private room for two was nice and relaxing. The food was delicious, especially the salad. The all-you-can-drink menu was reasonably priced, but after eating quite a bit, the total came to around 8,400 yen for two people. The all-you-can-drink option includes glass replacement, but they were flexible and didn't mind if you didn't finish your drink before ordering the next one. Overall, it was a typical chain izakaya with no major flaws, so I would like to visit again sometime.

I arrived at the restaurant at 5:30 pm on a regular day with another person in mid-April. There were no other customers at the time. The restaurant is located near the clock tower, along West 3rd Street. There are a total of 20 stores mainly in Hokkaido (2 stores in Miyagi Prefecture), but it was my first visit. Despite being summoned to an izakaya by my companion during these times, I felt safe as there were no other customers and we were seated in a private room (laughs). However, the restaurant will be closed from April 16th to May 15th. They offer a 'Premium All-You-Can-Drink' option for 1,280 yen, with beer choices like Sapporo Classic and Ebisu. There is also a 'Standard All-You-Can-Drink' option for 980 yen. The appetizer was edamame. The food we ordered included: - Chicken skewers (salt) for 439 yen for 2 skewers. They were juicy, flavorful, and well-seasoned. - Pork skewers (salt) for 472 yen for 2 skewers. They were also delicious and well-seasoned. - Tsukune with foie gras for 296 yen each. They were juicy and tasty. - Muroran yakitori for 471 yen. The sauce was a good balance between "Ippin" and "Toritatsu" and very tasty. - Hokkaido zangi for 658 yen for 5 pieces. They were flavorful with a nice ginger and garlic taste. - Tuna sashimi for 869 yen. The sashimi was decent for a chain restaurant but a bit pricey. - Aonanban mentaiko for 659 yen. It had a nice Aonanban flavor and wasn't too spicy. - Premium green salad for 944 yen. It was a satisfying salad with a good amount of vegetables and tasty onion dressing. The overall food quality was satisfying, especially the yakitori which was delicious and didn't taste like a chain restaurant. However, the prices were a bit high overall. The total bill came to around 4,000 yen for one person after some discounts from the manager. I will definitely come back when they reopen for business!

Head to the Yama no Saru Tokeidai-dori store. It's a private izakaya operated by Aix Co., Ltd. with reasonable prices. Started off with a draft beer, Sapporo Beer. The zangi, octopus zangi, salt chanpon hot pot, and especially the onion steak were delicious. The hot pot had plenty of chicken, vegetables, and mushrooms. They also offer local dishes like Muroran yakitori (pork). The drink selection is wide, so I had some shochu. Thank you for the meal.

The "Mountain Monkeys" restaurant on Tokidai-dori Street is a hidden gem. They have private rooms and sunken kotatsu tables. Overall, I think the food is delicious.

I ordered all-you-can-drink plus food and it cost around 2500 yen per person. It was delicious! Thank you♪

I forgot to take a photo, but it was good for a chain restaurant. They had all-you-can-drink option and I would like to go there again. Thank you for the meal! :)

There were no reviews for the restaurants around Satsueki Station, so I decided to go on a budget-friendly bar hopping plan. For the second stop, after visiting three places, I found that all of them had the typical quality you would expect from chain restaurants. Also, all three places were listed on Hot Pepper. The previous place I visited had a private space where I spent time, but at Yamanosaru Tokiwa-dori store, there were a lot of customers and it seemed like the staff was understaffed. Some customers were doing table buffets, and I could hear the voices of families with children, making it quite noisy and the smoke level was high. I had previously made a group reservation but had to cancel it, and I had a good impression of the place, so I had been wanting to visit someday. I finally made it there alone on this day. When I casually asked about using a Hot Pepper coupon, they responded well, which left a good impression on me. The Shirakabe Kura Namazake Junmai Sake was delicious. The appetizer edamame had a slightly smoked flavor. I had to wait quite a bit for my drinks and appetizers to arrive. Unfortunately, the seasonal special, striped jack sashimi, was sold out. The Muroran Yakitori had a chewy texture, and the onions felt like they were thawed. They also tasted watery. The sauce had a good ginger flavor though. Despite being in a private room and the affordable price, I felt like they were not able to keep up with the service, and the noise level and smoke bothered me. The staff, especially the smiling female staff at the checkout, were nice, so if they can handle the crowds better, I think it would be much better. Overall rating: 3.1 Taste: Not disclosed Service: 3.4 Atmosphere: 3.0 Cost performance: 3.5 Drinks: 3.5 Address: Sapporo, Chuo-ku, Kita 2-jo Nishi 2, Fujars Sapporo Building 1F, Yamanosaru Tokiwa-dori store ☆☆☆ Next episode preview ☆☆☆ I might want to try something other than yakitori next time for a rematch.

- "Nakasukko Musume Tokeitadori branch" has closed down, and this restaurant has taken its place. - It's reasonable and has private rooms, making it suitable for those not very interested in food or for young people. - The photo shows a dish that looks like "Chicken Skin with Ponzu Sauce" (Please let me know if you saw this review on the official information page). It's a bit different from the "Chicken Skin with Ponzu Sauce" I used to eat at "Nakasukko Musume," but it's a reliable choice! Thank you for the meal.
