Favorite restaurant, everything is delicious. You must try the steamed dumplings, they are absolutely delicious ´︶`

I visited this restaurant for a year-end party with my company. It is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from Nishitetsu Ogori Station. We had a course with all-you-can-drink option, which included a variety of wines. The dishes were plentiful and all very delicious. The skewers remained tender even when cold, with a perfect balance of salt. The fried eggplant with sauce had a delightful flavor, and the texture of the large eggplant was superb. The chilled tofu was likely homemade, silky and creamy, enhanced by the flavorful broth. The daikon tempura was crispy on the outside, moist and hot on the inside, and very tasty. Despite the restaurant being full due to multiple parties, the staff efficiently handled drink refills. I would love to visit this restaurant again not for a party but personally. If you happen to be in the Ogori and Tosu area for work, I highly recommend stopping by.

Hidane Ogata Store is a izakaya located about 50m north of Nishitetsu Ogata Station. The interior is stylish and there is also a second floor. The steamed steamed pork from domestic pigs was delicious. It was a shame that smoking was allowed, as it made the place very smoky.
