Staying in Asahikawa as a base for exploring roadside stations. Left the accommodation early in the morning, so couldn't drink leisurely, but if I'm going to drink, it has to be all-you-can-drink! So, I headed to "En" as it offers all-you-can-drink. Unfortunately, the closest shop was closed, so I went a bit further to the Asahikawa 2nd Street shop. I didn't eat much as I had been snacking while moving around, but I enjoyed a variety of drinks like beer, highball, shochu, local sake, sour, awamori, and even milk with their abundant all-you-can-drink option until the end of the time. The 90-minute all-you-can-drink for 750 yen (last order 15 minutes before) is always a great deal and a delightful experience. I will definitely visit another "En" location again. Thank you, Asahikawa 2nd Street shop!

Let's try going to "Honoo" as it is a place where you can drink cheaply and eat yakitori. There are two stores nearby, but the one on Nijo Street 7th Avenue seems less crowded. The entrance of the other store had waiting customers. The all-you-can-drink option is 750 yen for 90 minutes. The appetizer was bean sprouts, but it had a bit of a strange smell. The cheese spring rolls were hot and gooey with a strong cheese flavor. There were two types of tsukune skewers, one with mountain wasabi and one with grated wasabi, but the wasabi flavor was weak in both. The stewed tripe was rich and salty. The coffee shochu on the rocks lacked a strong coffee flavor. This was my second time at "Honoo," but I think I'm done with it.

I was invited by a friend to come drink in the central area! It's 8 pm on a weekend, and it's definitely crowded here! There are a lot of people waiting. My friend made a reservation, so we sit at the counter, glancing at the people waiting. "We're going for all-you-can-drink, right?" So we opt for the "120-minute all-you-can-drink" (980 yen, excluding tax). We start with a toast with draft beer! Since we're hungry, my friend orders a lot of food (laughs). "Raw tsukune" (100 yen, 2 pieces), "Tsukune with egg" (2 pieces included) (300 yen), "Bibai yakitori" (160 yen, 2 pieces), "Hatsu skewer" (120 yen, 2 pieces), "Bonito tataki" (780 yen), "Caesar salad with 3 types of cheese" (490 yen), "Chicken skin with ponzu sauce" (390 yen), "Squid with natto" (290 yen), "Changja" (390 yen). When I left the ordering to my friend, she kept ordering, so I had to say "Stop" (laughs). The food here is pretty good in my opinion! The juicy "raw tsukune," the Caesar salad with a soft-boiled egg, and the thickly sliced bonito tataki were all delicious! The all-you-can-drink includes "local sake," which is nice! After drinking two draft beers, I enjoyed various local sakes! "Satisfied, satisfied!!" "Last order for drinks!" The waitress comes to take the last order. "I drank a lot of alcohol, so should I finish with orange juice?" I order orange juice. After this, we went to a snack bar for more drinks, but I ended the night with a soft drink?? That was me! All-you-can-drink tends to make you greedy (laughs). Drinking, eating, chatting, it was a satisfying 2 hours!!

The banquet course starts from 2500 yen, which is great for a girls' night out where not many drinks are consumed. The tsukune was soft and everything was delicious. The fluffy tsukune is addictive. The banquet course left us full with hot pot, potatoes, salad, assorted tsukune, etc.

Close to Asahikawa Station, at the corner of the shopping park, whenever I wanted to drink cheaply with my friends, we often relied on it in Sapporo. Near Sapporo Guest House, all rooms were private and convenient to use. Despite feeling a bit overwhelmed by the number of outlets in Sapporo, this sign is truly appreciated! Now, let's enjoy it in Asahikawa. As someone who appreciates the high level of food in Asahikawa, the price of all-you-can-drink in Asahikawa is quite high compared to Sapporo. In Sapporo, I used to go to an izakaya where you could choose from a selection of sake for 1,000 yen and enjoy all-you-can-drink, which was a great deal. I feel a bit pampered and now it really hits home. Sorry for rambling on, let's start with sake! It's all-you-can-drink after all! It's a good deal! Cheers! Cheers♪ From the laminated menu, we ordered various types of tsukune (chicken meatballs) and yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) one after another! Alright, let's drink! Even without putting in any effort, we just drink as usual, but with the guys chatting away, the reliable tsukune and yakitori need no comment. The ultimate izakaya, the ultimate tsukune shop. As expected, we're here. As I'm at an age where I can't stomach just meat, I added a mountain of daikon radish salad for an extra 50 yen and made it a large serving! Yes! This consideration for a large serving is so nice! More and more, delicious salad, seconds! Oh, no, it's a second serving of salad in a small dish. Since I live alone, I'm grateful for this care♪ Apparently, if you become Line friends, you get a free karaage (fried chicken), thank you! Two beers and then sip on sake, sip sip♪ Well, with this price for all-you-can-drink, I'm grateful to have the option of sake. Grumbling like a selfish old man, I drink and ramble on until the last order is called. In the end, we settle down with non-alcoholic drinks to calm our stomachs. Yeah, I drank my fill! Thank you! By the way, despite relying on this place so much, when I googled it, I found out that the main store is not in Tokyo as I thought, but in Sapporo's Nishi Ward, at the Sumibi Izakaya En Nishimachi branch. Although there are overwhelmingly more stores in Sapporo, they also have locations in various cities in Hokkaido, as well as in Tokyo, Saitama, and even a branch in Vladivostok, Russia. Keep up the good work, Mr. President of Sapporo... Thank you for taking care of us!

The tsukune, salted zangi are delicious and affordable. The all-you-can-drink option for 90 minutes at 750 yen is convenient.

I made a reservation and went, but it was crowded inside because it was a Saturday. I think it's a good restaurant with all-you-can-drink and quick, reasonably priced and delicious food service.

The tsukune and yakisoba are delicious. The all-you-can-drink option for 90 minutes at 580 yen (excluding the 300 yen appetizer) is cheap.

The taste and cost performance are impeccable, but it is extremely noisy with the clattering of the kitchen next door. I definitely want to make a reservation for a raised tatami seating area and go to this restaurant.

The concept of eating a platter of locally sourced emu, pheasant, and deer is great. The natto meatballs and cheese kimchi meatballs are also delicious.

I went with my boyfriend and friends! This place always has a lively atmosphere! The 90-minute all-you-can-drink deal is 750 yen (excluding tax), and the food is relatively affordable too! It's perfect to go with close friends. We drank a lot and ate a lot at a reasonable price! We started with a toast with draft beer! Here's what we ordered that day: - Assorted raw chicken skewers (5 pieces) for 600 yen - Salted chicken zangi for 290 yen - Salted hormone deep-fried for 490 yen - Caesar salad for 490 yen - Tempura assortment (4 kinds) for 790 yen - Bonito sashimi for 590 yen - Seared mackerel for 590 yen - Quail egg simmered for 290 yen My friend kept drinking "sake" after the draft beer. He's a strong drinker! Since it's all-you-can-drink, let's try different drinks! We had red wine, plum sour, salt lemon sour, mojito, and more! We ordered all this and it came out to 6,727 yen for the two of us! We drank and ate. After that, we went to a karaoke bar and then to a snack bar! We had a great time getting drunk!

It's cheap~ but the taste is so-so, haha. My colleagues and I were looking for a cheap place to drink, so we wandered around. "Hey, I heard they have all-you-can-drink for 750 yen here. Shall we go?" one colleague suggested. The other colleague agreed, and since it was my first time at this chain, I said, "Why not?" And so, today's drinking party ended up at this place. We started with the 750 yen all-you-can-drink deal, but the beer was surprisingly bitter. Is this real beer? Well, it's only 750 yen, so I didn't dwell on it too much, haha. The rumored raw tsukune was just average. The best skewer dish was the rice cake bacon. The salted fried chicken was tasty, but it seemed to be made with chicken breast. I wanted something more fatty. The yakisoba was delicious! Oops, I forgot to take a picture of the fried rice. The garlic flavor was strong and unexpectedly delicious. The bill came out to 7081 yen, which is less than 2500 yen per person. So cheap! No wonder it's popular among young people. Oh, wait, we were the only older group there, haha. Thank you for the meal!

I chose this restaurant because it was my first time there and they had a drink-all-you-can option for Premium Malt beer. It was a good deal at 780 yen (excluding tax) for 90 minutes or 980 yen (excluding tax) for 120 minutes. I enjoyed the Premium Malt beer and some yakitori along with some appetizers. The specialty here is the raw tsukune (chicken meatball) which is only 100 yen per skewer. I also ordered some vegetables like Caesar salad and chicken skin senbei to go with my beer. I had a great time eating yakitori and enjoying the all-you-can-drink beer.

Starting with simmered dishes, the daikon and carrot, kaki fry with a crispy and juicy texture, and the unique tartar sauce with a hint of egg, all paired with the local sake from Asahikawa. The crispy and moist fried chicken, tender and flavorful miso pork belly, and the light and juicy fried fish cake from the well-known Kamaboko shop "Kamaten". The juicy and flavorful grilled meat skewers, the awakening Inca pizza, and the crispy and chewy butter-grilled rice balls. The combination of rich cheese, sweet ketchup, and crunchy onions on the pizza, and the savory buttery flavor of the grilled rice balls make for a satisfying meal. Overall, a delicious dining experience with a variety of flavors and textures.

Welcome.---------- November 2016 ----------Kosy Shochu (= ´∀´)ﾉ凵゛To start off, we had the Iberico Pork Kimchi Nabe for two people. The amount of vegetables in the pot was eye-catching. The Kimchi and chili pepper ratio to the soup was just right, providing a good balance of flavors. The Iberico meat was delicious, with a nice balance of sweetness and saltiness. The texture was tender and juicy, and the meat had a nice sweetness to it. The Tsukune (meatballs) were also delicious, with a juicy and flavorful filling. The Tsukune sauce added a nice touch of sweetness and saltiness. The iron plate Napoli-style pasta was served hot and had a good amount of ketchup, complementing the chewy noodles well.Overall, the dishes had a good balance of flavors and were enjoyable.---------- September 2016 ----------The counter has a nice depth to it. The atmosphere is high-spirited. We started with the Braised Pork, which had a salty and flavorful broth. The Premium Tsukune had a large and juicy texture, with a slightly strong sweet and salty sauce. The Yakitori included various parts of the chicken, each with a different texture and flavor. The Miso Giblets had a rich miso flavor and tender tofu, complemented by a spicy condiment. The Fried Hanpen had a chewy texture and a sweet flavor, enhanced by ginger and ponzu sauce. The Pork Sagari Teppanyaki had a nice blend of flavors, with crispy onions and tender meat. The Iberico Pork Kimchi Fried Rice was fluffy and moist, with a nice balance of flavors. Both branches of the restaurant had a high ratio of female customers, making it a relaxing environment. Thank you for the delicious meal.------------- Yamayori 2016.04 ----------We call it the "Maracas-shaped Tsukune," the flagship of the Shinwa Group. It's the first store in Asahikawa, which you can see from the shopping park. When did it open? "Welcome!" greeted by the energetic voice of the staff at the register. The open kitchen, box seats, and banquet tables are quite visible as you head towards the back. The hori-kotatsu seats alone must be around 80 seats. We received a warm towel and service soup, which I like more than chicken broth. To start, we had the potato salad, a classic. The daily specials like "Chikuzen-ni or Kiriboshi Daikon" could also be good. The staff kindly explained today's recommendations, which included the Asahikawa Hormone. The Pork Heart with Kimchi had a unique flavor, with a gentle spiciness that gradually builds up. The Ponzu sauce goes well with it. The table is set with a stove, ponzu sauce, and plates. The Pork Shabu-Shabu Nabe comes with fresh tsukune and udon for a great price. The Italian Dolce Porco is used in some branches, while here they use the French version. The hot pot includes napa cabbage, enoki mushrooms, leeks, tofu, and the famous Date Golden Chicken. The oil's golden color lives up to its name. Once it boils, add the fresh tsukune...

Today was hot. I want to drink a cold beer. That's right! On days like this, there's a 90-minute all-you-can-drink option for 750 yen! You can even drink Premium Malt "En"! I decided to visit the Asahikawa 2-jo store since I went to the Kaimono Koen-dori store the other day. Yes! The menu is the same as the Kaimono Koen-dori store since it's a chain store. Today, I also tried the raw tsukune salt chanoko hot pot that I was curious about. It's only 340 yen per serving... so cheap! The soup is also delicious enough. I can't miss the Bibai yakitori either. After drinking 3 beers, my stomach was already full! So I switched to cold sake... 4 cups in 90 minutes. Thank you for the meal. I don't usually go to chain stores, but this one is cheap and delicious, so it might be worth it! I prefer the atmosphere of the Kaimono Koen-dori store though.

The soup that is served at the beginning, like hot water, is better towards the end. I don't need a drink at first because it comes quickly. The appetizer where you can take a breath with a hot towel, whether it's cold or hot, was delicious. Even with 60-80% customer occupancy, the dishes came quickly. I ordered the salt Zangi because I wanted to eat Zangi after a long time, but I realized after eating that salt Zangi is not Zangi. I think new flavors are good. The assorted skewers with salt seasoning tasted the same as the salt Zangi? I thought it was a mistake after eating. I should have used sauce instead.
