Since it was a popular restaurant on Tabelog, it was recommended to make a reservation, so I called the restaurant before stopping by Ureshino-kan for a quick bath and made a reservation for a counter seat. It was a good thing I called ahead, as the counter seat was comfortable. Immediately, I ordered a beer. Then, I had sashimi of shimaji, a salad of prosciutto and tomato, which was refreshing. After that, I tried their most popular dish, the "bone-in kalbi", which did not disappoint. I can see why it's the most popular. The sauce was delicious and the meat was tender. Around this time, I switched to a decanter of red wine and added yakitori to my order. Finally, I ordered the local sake "Toichi" to finish off the meal. I heard it was sweet, but it wasn't at all. If I were to describe it as fruity and sweet, that would be misleading. It was a refreshing and good sake. I paired this sake with the "otome garlic soy sauce grilled", which was amazing. Garlic without a strong smell that you can eat all the way to the root. It was the perfect accompaniment. It was a fun and delicious experience at this restaurant.
