Shogin-an Higashi-Mikuni Ten

This cozy two-story space has counter seats, table seats, and Private room.

They offer 3 courses featuring popular menu items, along with an à la carte menu. There are also courses with All you can drink.

The signature soba is Tokachi soba, hand-cut noodles made with only sobako (buckwheat flour) and a small amount of water. You can enjoy their smooth texture as they go down. The photo shows the simple "zaru soba," served to dip in tsuyu (dipping sauce).

Every dish is said to be delicious and perfect to go with drinks. The Japanese sake, sourced directly from liquor stores all over Japan, offers a wide selection ranging from famous labels to limited edition bottles.

The “Sendai specialty charcoal grilled thick cut Beef Tongue” is known as a dish that pairs well with drinks, and you eat it with nanban miso, a mildly spicy miso mixed with green chili peppers.

I’m really glad I went! Even though it was busy, the service was very quick, and every dish had a refined flavor and tasted great. They also had a wide selection of Japanese sake, and thanks to the manager’s careful explanation, I found a Japanese sake that suited my taste perfectly. The Japanese sake they recommended was absolutely excellent.

With the Appetizers and sashimi, I had Japanese sake, then with the seiro (steamed dish) and dashimaki tamago (rolled omelet), I had a highball, and after having tempura with Japanese sake, I completed the sake lineup too(笑)I got into a nice pleasant buzz. And for To finish, the 100% soba, when it comes to how to eat it,,, I definitely recommend “salt”!!!The soba dipping sauce is also good, but eating it with salt lets the aroma of the soba rise more beautifully through your nose.

さくらあやこ

They cook the rice only after you order, so it’s best to order it early so you can enjoy it together with your side dishes. The menchi-katsu (Japanese minced meat cutlet) topped with what seemed like grated daikon radish had flavors that came together really nicely and made the rice go down even more easily. The rice was so good that I could eat it while drinking beer. The restaurant had a bright atmosphere, and the staff were cheerful, kind, and made it a great place to relax.

The more you chew, the more the sweetness of the rice spreads in your mouth〜. They also have a great selection of dishes that go well with rice! Try enjoying it with all kinds of toppings on rice. And for Japanese sake, they had several kinds of Kaze no Mori that I like, so I did a tasting comparison! The place had a lively atmosphere, and the food was great with both rice and drinks.

A lively, bustling place. You can also take the Japanese sake from the refrigerator and freely pour it into a tokuri (sake flask). They did not have that many big-name labels, but it felt like a treasure hunt. Even starting with the otoshi (small appetizer) and sashimi, the kama (grilled fish collar) was huge and surprising. Since you can keep drinking with the fish and snacks, this may be just right for people who love alcohol.

This course is made up of Japanese style dishes and feels nicely cohesive overall, with good flavors throughout. The sakizuke (small appetizer) and otsukuri (sashimi assortment) were already prepared, but unlike the slapped-together feel you often get at large izakaya, these were quite good. And their original beer called Dotonbori Beer is pretty tasty. The house specialty, zaru-dofu (strained tofu), has a strong flavor and tastes great.

It is lively and opens up to a spacious area in the back. We visited as a small group for drinks and ordered a la carte. We could not order the mega ◯◯ style drinks because they said they did not have the glasses for them, but the food lineup was broad, starting with standard izakaya menu items, and you really cannot go wrong with anything you order. The grilled fish, nishin (herring), came with whole kazunoko (herring roe) inside, which is irresistible for roe lovers〜

LaiRai

We started with jakoten (fried fish cake), followed by buri (yellowtail) yukhoe and edamame. The jakoten and buri yukhoe were perfect as snacks to go with drinks, and they really made the alcohol go down easy. The senzanki (Ehime-style fried chicken) was hearty, but they made it boneless, so it was very easy to eat. This also went great with drinks. We finished with a refreshing chazuke with Sea Bream broth, and everything was very tasty.

The photo shows a boat-style sashimi (sliced raw fish) assortment included in the “Kiraku Okiraku Course.” It is not only fresh and tasty, but also looks lavish, making it satisfying for both the eyes and the palate.

It was a lovely Japanese meal. For the Appetizers, the edamame and finely chopped raayu (chili oil) chashu (roast pork) made the first beer go down even better. I had the katsuo no tataki (seared bonito) with salt, and it was mostly delicious with no off notes. The combination felt fresh, and while simple, it seemed full of flavor. The salmon had a great balance of just the right amount of fat and herbs.

I was grateful that they were happy to accommodate our sudden increase in group size. As expected, the katsuo no tataki (seared bonito) here was outstanding. It was also nice that they served it with salt. I’d be happy if they had something like a extra-portion campaign for the katsuo no tataki. The beer by the pitcher here is so good that, for beer lovers, it is hard to switch to anything else on the menu.

Their wide selection of drinks is also popular. In addition to beer, Japanese sake, and shochu, they are known for their tasty fruit based drinks that can also be made non alcoholic.

A stylish creative cuisine spot for adults! Even the otoshi (small appetizer) is chic, and many of the skewers are very fresh, so it’s also perfect for when you want to go somewhere a little different for drinks today. I came across a really great place!

An izakaya in Nishinakajima-Minamikata where the smoked dishes are really good. I had no idea a place like this existed. The top pick is, of course, the smoked assortment, and even the half-size smoked assortment with its wide variety is plenty to enjoy. They also have a good selection of Japanese sake, so enjoy Japanese sake while savoring the smoked dishes!

Three of us visited and got an All you can drink course. The skewers were good, and I like iburigakko (smoked pickled daikon), so I ordered it right away. The fries came in the style topped with mayonnaise and ketchup. The Japanese sake was served in a small kettle. We had so much fun drinking that we ended up overdoing it.

I visited with coworkers from my company. When the staff brought over the draft beer, their lively call was pleasant and upbeat. The food was a course meal with a wide variety of dishes, and I thought the value for money was pretty good. I was very curious about the kaki no gangan-yaki (drum-steamed oysters) that the group next to us had ordered.

A friend took me to this hideaway spot tucked away in the back streets. It had a homey feel and was almost full. The atmosphere was very nice, and I had a great time. I enjoyed an assorted sashimi platter, fried oysters, and simmered Sea Bream with crispy fried bones. The simmered Sea Bream had a gentle flavor that soaked in nicely, and it was delicious.

朝から乾杯したい✨

I made a toast with about 20 friends who came from outside the prefecture. We were able to use the ozashiki (tatami seating room) on the second floor. The food was generous in volume, and we were very Manzoku. The sashimi was especially fresh, and the thick cut was really nice.

ビール ツマ美

I’ve been coming to this place for nearly 10 years. It has counter seating, so it’s easy to visit on your own, but there are only 6 counter seats, so it may be a good idea to call and check first. Everything on the menu is good, so if you want to enjoy drinks at a classic izakaya in Nishinakajima, I recommend this place♪
