Hitachi, Ibaraki, Japan｜Jirocho

Good food and booze, perfect for the after work nomikai with few members. The owner (mama) is very friendly and kind. If you order a bottle of shouchu or nihonshu and cannot finish it, she will keep it for you (free of charge) so you can drink it next time.

Perfect for lonely people who want someone to talk to. On the other hand, it may not be suitable for people who want to drink quietly. No matter what you say, they will actively talk to you, and you may receive something from them as a service. Takeout is also delicious, especially the mackerel stick sushi (¥2,000 for 2 people), which is quite filling. Lunch starts at 650 yen and comes with thick sashimi. I have to say that this sashimi set meal comes with a small side dish and miso soup, and the price is exceptional. This shop is owned by the landlady's personality. It's my favorite.

You can't imagine it from the storefront, but the fresh fish is outstanding and served in a delicious way. The female shop owner recommends the "eat quietly" besi. Eating fresh octopus and local green onions is a surprise. But it is a technique that can be done because of the freshness of local production for local consumption. There are a lot of shop mottos, but this is excellent. My favorite is "Those who work hard talk about hope, lazy people talk about dissatisfaction." Oh! I want to go again. Old man Gyotoku Ramen.
