Shinjuku City, Tokyo, Japan｜Izakaya Shinjuku Ishikarigawa

Wednesday after obon. I asked a work colleague. Even though all seats were smoking, the smell of cigarettes was not that bothersome. That should be it. There was a huge ventilation fan that absorbed the smoke from the robatayaki. The food was especially delicious, especially the robatayaki chicken and salmon harasu, which were fragrant and had crispy skin! In addition to chicken and octopus, Zangi also had an interesting item called squid. This time I had the octopus, and it was definitely delicious. Next time I will ask for squid zangi 🦑 Drinks also have Hokkaido-like liqueurs, and I was able to ask for things that I wouldn't normally order, and I felt like I was in Hokkaido. The course is reasonable with all-you-can-drink and can't be enjoyed on the day, so next time I'll make a reservation in advance and ask for Ishikari nabe or chanchanyaki! The restaurant is moderately busy, but you don't have to worry about the space between the seats. Recommended for small drinking parties, banquets, and year-end parties!

After going through the elevator next to the drunk office workers shouting, "Let's go down the Ishikari River," the 4th floor is already Hokkaido. Although prices have increased and the number of items has decreased compared to before the coronavirus pandemic. Even if the mayonnaise that comes with Zangi is now a 100 yen option (well, I'm asking for it). It is an oasis with a long history, different from the trendy shops filled with tourists. I also miss old men who have a unique way of speaking. good. Needless to say, this is an excellent store with a future in Hokkaido. It's not cheap, but it's not expensive either. Good things at low prices. I ask for Sapporo Akahoshi (bottled beer), sake is Nisei Kosei (red), and I recommend the correct Hokkaido, but I also put in sake that is not. There was also Kohaku Ebisu, but it's definitely Akahoshi! becomes. The grilled rice balls at the end had a strange taste, similar to miso soup fried rice with sea lettuce. The green soybeans are unnecessarily good, and the skin is hard, but it's the last time I've finished eating the sweet sauce, so I still like it here. That's how it turned out.

The oysters were delicious! ! It was fun and I drank a lot of Japanese sake.
