The last time I visited was two years ago...? Recently, my main job has been too busy, so even though I go out to eat, I haven't been able to write proper reviews, and I've become almost like a workaholic... (laughs) Now, getting to the main point. It's a bit awkward to say this during these times, but my friends and I decided to quickly wrap up the year with a year-end party before the peak of the coronavirus, and we wanted to eat some meat in Kyoto, so we went to a horse meat specialty restaurant called "Banyaro" right off Shijo-Kiyamachi for a meal, and we ended up eating a lot of horse meat and didn't know what to do. So, I visited for the first time in two years. A beloved candy bar. Sometimes I couldn't get in because there were no seats available, so this time I secured a seat by phone reservation. Please praise my cleverness (laughs). That's how I visited for the first time in two years, and I was just surprised by the amount of changes that had happened, to the point where I thought it had become a different restaurant (laughs). The decorations inside the store, the videos, the background music, the menu, the all-you-can-eat content, the quality, everything had significantly increased in satisfaction. The most surprising thing was the content of the all-you-can-drink. For the alcohol-included option, there were over 100 varieties, and for the soft drink option... including properly made non-alcoholic cocktails using Captain's syrup, there were over 80 varieties. Isn't that amazing? Why is it so good? If you're a person who eats out regularly, you'll know it's delicious even if you don't drink, and on top of that, the all-you-can-eat and drink option with about 80 soft drinks included is only 2300 yen, and it even comes with either Agepan or Butamen? Why are they doing this at this price? It's kind of scary (laughs). In fact, since the opening, this store has been offering service and drinks of higher quality compared to others, and I wonder if we're being deceived? I thought that this store had become amazing after visiting for the first time in two years. Of course, if you run a store with such a customer-oriented approach, you'll have customers even in this era of coronavirus, and the store won't go out of business. I've never seen a store with such high-quality soft drinks. Recently, there was a non-alcoholic bar opening in Karasuma? Kawaramachi? in Kyoto, but the quality and satisfaction level at the candy bar are way higher. I feel like I discovered a good store in Kyoto again. Of course, my friends were very satisfied. The Umaibo costume was great... perfect for Instagram. I'm genuinely happy. That's how it was. Thank you for the meal!! Well then, see you!!

I had some free time, so I decided to visit this shop nearby. As soon as I entered, I saw a shop card with the design of a Japonica notebook at the entrance under the stairs! When I climbed the stairs, I found a nostalgic rock-paper-scissors game! I used to play this a lot when I was in elementary school! I remember once I got a big win and received 40 coins! I was excited even before entering the shop! They offered an all-you-can-eat snack and ice cream for 700 yen per hour! I also ordered a non-alcoholic Garigari-kun soda chu-hi for 700 yen. I chose a Sailor Moon hand-drawn glass without hesitation! The soda at the snack shop had a unique taste! I grabbed a basket placed on the table and headed to the snack corner! I was surprised by the Umaitabo sticks that were stuck in a moment! I remember eating Umaitabo for dinner when I was a broke college student! I grabbed all the snacks that I used to buy as a child! Once I started eating snacks, I couldn't stop! I ordered a Kumasan fried bread, which was incredibly delicious! It was fried perfectly and coated with sugar. It tasted much better than the fried bread from a regular bakery! The shop seems to have a good reputation among other customers as well. The normal fried bread costs 200 yen, so I highly recommend trying it! The shop had a nostalgic atmosphere with gachapon machines, and the TV was playing V6's "Aho Nanda" from the show "Gakkou e Ikou." The music and atmosphere were perfect! There were some things that I didn't recognize, but it seems like they cater to various age groups. Some people were playing nostalgic Super Famicom games, which was also popular. Young couples on a date were enjoying snacks and playing TV games together. Since there are not many game centers these days, it seems like a great place for families to have a fun time together. It's also popular among moms with kids!

A dream from childhood comes true at this candy bar where you can eat as much candy as you want while playing games. And now as adults, you can also drink alcohol. The seating fee is 700 yen per hour with drinks starting at 600 yen. There are also value drink-all-you-can packages available. I decided to try it out for just one hour this time. I quickly went to get some candy. They had the classic Umaibo and Cabbage Taro, as well as some candies I had never seen before. After much deliberation, I chose the Riska Corn Potage Snack. It's a snack I always eat! And it's quite filling. I recommend the Milk Senbei. A fluffy senbei drizzled with condensed milk. If you ask the staff, they will bring out the condensed milk for you. I indulged in stacking 8 pieces, but in the end, 3 pieces were the best. The Chu-hi glass had a Gari Gari Kun popsicle sticking out, which you can crumble inside to make it frozen, perfect for summer. Snacking on chips while playing WiiU, the hour flew by. If you're looking for something more substantial, they also have potatoes and fried chicken, so you can eat to your heart's content. I left without having any ice cream, so I'll have to come back for a rematch.

This BAR made me feel nostalgic ✨ They have a wide variety of snacks, ice cream, and drinks, ranging from classic to unique options. It's a great place to stop by alone or with friends for a second round. They even have a height measurement tool! With plenty of manga and games to enjoy, time flies by quickly. Follow the shop on Instagram, mention & tag them in your story, and you can get fried bread or butamen for free ☺️

Candy and ice cream all-you-can-eat, over 30 types of board games all-you-can-play, it's a wonderful place. They also have nostalgic items like school bags, height measurement tools, and cosplay costumes. It's fun to choose which candy to eat - there are so many nostalgic ones. There are also snacks that go well with alcohol. It's a fun time to eat candy while playing games. For drinks, my friend had a soda Gari Gari-kun, and I had a watermelon bar. The glasses were also unique. The agepan (deep-fried bread) was delicious. I want to eat it again. This place in Kawaramachi, Kyoto is recommended for daytime drinking, parties, reunions, second parties, and meetups. It's about a 6-7 minute walk from Kawaramachi and a 4-minute walk from Keihan Sanjo Station, so it's easy to access. I went around 8:30 pm and noticed that it's a popular place. The staff were friendly and nice to talk to.

I went to the Dagashi Bar "Houkago Dagashi Bar A-55" in Sanjo, Kyoto! At this shop, you can enjoy all-you-can-eat dagashi, ice cream, board games, cosplay, and manga reading for a charge of 550 yen for 1 hour and a drink starting from 650 yen. It's like a paradise imagined in elementary school. This time, I toasted with Garigari-kun Chu-Hi (750 yen) and Watermelon Bartonic (750 yen) that came with a whole ice cream. The dagashi selection includes classic Umaibo, Morokko Yogurt, Yocchan Ika, Kabayaki Santaro, Big Katsu, and many more varieties. I was happy to see unusual flavors like Teriyaki Burger, Natto, Yakitori, and Nori Salt Umaibo. There are board games like Cat and Chocolate, as well as nostalgic game consoles like Wii and Family Computer. The location is convenient, just a 6-7 minute walk from Kawaramachi and a 4-minute walk from Keihan Sanjo Station, so you don't have to worry about catching the last train.✌️ Shop Information: Dagashi Bar A-55 Address: 2F, Harasho Building, 258-23 Yamazaki-cho, Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto, 604-8032 Business Hours: Weekdays: 16:00-23:00 Sundays and Holidays: 14:00-23:00 Saturdays and consecutive holidays: 14:00-25:00 Phone: 075-746-6615

A nostalgic yet new retro space that mixes elements like a candy store, a school classroom after hours, a high school festival, and a friend's house filled with games and manga. The all-you-can-eat candy and ice cream make your childhood dreams come true, and really get you excited. There are plenty of snacks and toys to enjoy, making it a great recommendation for families with children.

A friend told me about a fun shop, where the entrance system is 500 yen per hour (all-you-can-eat snacks and ice cream) and drinks are 500 yen each plus tax. The drink menu includes unique drinks like Garigari-kun chu-hai and Shuwapachi chu-hai. When I asked the staff for a recommendation, they mentioned a rich sweet potato liquor that recently came in, so as a sweet potato lover, I chose the milk mix with that. You can help yourself to as many snacks as you like, like carrots, cocoa cigarettes, and compote, bringing back nostalgic memories of childhood. The recommended sweet potato liquor was delicious like a dessert, and combined with the snacks, it was a calorie explosion. The shop's nostalgic anime songs and atmosphere made it very enjoyable! I paid using PayPay, and will definitely stop by again when I'm in the area. Thank you for a great time!

It was cheap and super fun! The weekdays were nice because there were fewer people.

The card game played by the noisy club members was fun, but it felt a bit pricey.

I went drinking with my few favorite people and wanted to try a lot of cheap snacks and play games like 64.

There were a lot of games and it was fun.

I was recommended a unique and interesting restaurant by a friend who often goes to concept bars and fun shops. Next to the izakaya, there is a staircase leading up to a nostalgic interior filled with a wide variety of nostalgic snacks and all-you-can-eat ice cream. The quality is amazing, but it's hard to grab snacks because everyone is busy taking Instagram stories. The most surprising thing was the cost performance. It's cheap! Snacks and ice cream are all-you-can-eat, as well as drinks and games, all for 2500 yen for 2 hours. It even comes with a small treat like Agempan or Butamen. There are games like Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros, making it a fun and lively atmosphere! It seems like it would be popular with dessert-loving girls, so I'm thinking of using it for a date or a party next time.
