Atsugi, Kanagawa, Japan｜曽根屋

I was taking a walk around the station. A nice looking store. A restaurant with this exterior must be good. I read the reviews in front of the store. I went back to the hotel without going in because I was drinking at another restaurant. Stars ★ are expected values ​​✨ I definitely want to visit on my next business trip.

We have more types of sake than anywhere else, and they are cheaper than anywhere else. And all the dishes are delicious! The otoshi will vary depending on the day, but you'll always find some great ones. There are tuna days and whale days. There is also a day when sweetfish is pickled in Nanban. The charcoal-grilled food is perfectly cooked, juicy, and delicious. River fish such as ayu, mountain fish, and rock fish are on the menu every day. Salt-grilled, whole dried, smoked, and many more. You can also take home the smoked, whole dried, and candied fish to enjoy at home. It's a hidden gem, and I hope it stays open forever.

This restaurant serves river fish caught near the Sagami River, and the owner carefully selects sake and sweet potato shochu that go well with it. In particular, the homemade candied sweetfish goes perfectly with Junmai sake. Also, if you don't get to Kushiyaki early, even the vegetables will sell out, so it's best to get there early. It takes time to serve the food after ordering, so it is recommended for people who want to enjoy their sake while waiting for their delicious food.
