Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan｜串焼BAR 千草

It's a 20-minute walk from Ushiku Station, so it's a bit far, but it's an izakaya worth going to. The inside of the store is elaborately decorated from corner to corner, and even adults will be thrilled. It seems that the high ceiling has a waterfall and stream, and the trees are changed to cherry blossoms and autumn leaves according to the season. Perfect atmosphere. There are counters, tables, and tatami rooms. All the staff are friendly and very kind. He was very considerate, such as bringing me the temperature of the air conditioner and the bracket. * Below are the dishes we received. Everything was delicious. ○Appetizer・New onion salad It changes depending on the day. It seems that seasonal ingredients are sometimes used. When I visited for the second time, shellfish came out, lucky. New onion salad is a seasonal menu. It was crunchy, sweet, and delicious. In addition, there were many other seasonal menus such as new onion steaks and seasonal sashimi. ○ Assorted grilled skewers, potato salad As the name suggests, it is a skewer bar, and each skewer is carefully grilled over charcoal and is juicy. Every skewer is delicious. I recommend salt. Potato salad is also a taste that can not be overlooked. ○Zaru tofu/Fried tofu The big difference between Chigusa and other izakayas is the tofu. What a handmade tofu dish, it's exquisite. Zaru tofu was served with salt/soy sauce and condiments. Anyway, it's thick and elastic. It is a recommended tofu that is clearly different from cold tofu. Deep-fried tofu is also very satisfying with plenty of bean paste. ○ Oyakodon Soft chicken and fluffy egg, topped with another egg and a luxurious oyakodon. It has a gentle taste. There is quite a lot of rice, so it is better to share from 2 or more people ◎ This is also highly satisfying. ○ Popeye Salad We tend to think of spinach as crunchy, but it's almost raw. Bacon is also a large size, and on top of that is a warm ball. It's definitely a guy. It is an item that you want to eat all by yourself while holding a plate. ○ fresh spring rolls Fresh spring rolls that look like works of art. The sauce is delicious. It's surprisingly filling but healthy. ○ Tuna and avocado tartare The stickiness of the avocado and tartar combined with the elasticity of the tuna creates an interesting texture. It goes without saying that it is delicious. A highly recommended dish after tofu. There is a vegetable market in front of the shop. I've seen it for sale in the store, so I think I'll buy it next time. I have visited twice, but it is an izakaya that I would like to visit again and again. I can understand why there are many regular customers. Thank you for the delicious food.

I visited it at a New Year's party. We enjoyed delicious food and drinks with the quiet sound of running water in the background. All the dishes are delicious, but I especially recommend the yakitori platter. I had both sauce and salt, and each one had different toppings to enjoy. The sauce was sweet and spicy, but it had a unique flavor that I really liked. For salt, I never get tired of eating things like plum perilla or wasabi. The crunchy salad also comes with a soft-boiled egg, which is also recommended. The staff at the store took great care of me, which made me happy. Next time I would like to go eat some food for lunch!

I used it for the first time. Since it was a weekday night, there were almost no customers, so I was able to eat calmly and quietly. For the yakitori platter, I ordered two types of sauce and salt, but the lineup was different and I felt the commitment. In addition, I ordered a la carte dishes, but they were all carefully cooked and I was very satisfied. My feet are cold, so I brought a throw.
