The restaurant offers a wide range of items, centered on sumiyaki-kushi (charcoal-grilled skewers), from chicken dishes to small plates that pair well with drinks.
The skewers use Nagoya Cochin and Kinso-dori chicken, and the heat and grilling are said to be just right. The good flavor of the chicken and the taste of the tare sauce, matured by being continually added to over time, spread nicely on the palate, and people say it goes great with drinks.

The Omakase course "Utage" is made with carefully selected ingredients and comes with 2 hours of All you can drink.
Along with grilled skewers, obanzai (Kyoto-style small side dishes) made with seasonal vegetables and fish are served. Each dish is carefully prepared and has a gentle flavor with a nice taste of dashi (Japanese soup stock).

We visited as a party of two and sat at the counter. We ordered the skewer course, and every item was excellent. For drinks, we ordered Ki no Bi, and its refined taste was a perfect match. The atmosphere was also very nice, and we would love to go again.

This is my favorite yakitori restaurant in Kariya. The highlight here is the Omakase course with a skewer assortment and obanzai (Japanese home-style side dishes), and since the skewers and obanzai change from day to day, you can enjoy it no matter how many times you visit. Every yakitori skewer is juicy, and the obanzai is seasoned in a gentle way overall, so you could keep eating it forever.

They serve Kyo-gamo (Kyoto duck) dishes, freshly made Shinshu soba, and branded Japanese sake.
For something to pair with your drinks, the recommended choice is the "sashimi assortment." The sashimi lets you enjoy seasonal fish throughout the year, and some say they love how fresh and thick-cut it is.

Shinshu (Nagano) nihachi soba (buckwheat noodles made with 80% buckwheat flour and 20% wheat flour) is known for its nice aroma and smooth texture. Nihachi soba refers to soba made by mixing 80% buckwheat flour with 20% wheat flour as a binder.
The cold "tempura seiro soba" and warm "kamo nanban soba" are also said to be perfect To finish a night of drinks.

Duck is good with salt too, but the garlic soy sauce is spot on. It may not be in season, but it has a nice crunchy texture with a unique bite. The light sear is a nice touch too♪ This lightly seared hatsugatsuo (first bonito) is also great. So thick～い♪ It comes with plenty of yakumi (condiments), and the ginger really does a great job. I’ve been really into bonito lately, and this one is delicious＼(^^＠)／

I booked the soba and kamo (duck) course. Drinks were charged separately, so I felt it ended up being a little pricey, but for the course price, it was a very Manzoku price, and I got to enjoy tasty duck and soba. The kamo liver sashimi was really fresh and delicious. I didn't have any alcohol this time, so I'd like to try some next time.

Many people say there are lots of à la carte dishes that go well with alcohol, such as shime-saba (vinegared mackerel) and hotaruika (firefly squid) grilled with soy sauce.
For Japanese sake, they bring in branded labels from all over Japan. If you are not sure what to choose, it is a good idea to ask the chef.

This time, I ordered A la carte, but it looks like they also have a course where the dishes come out as Omakase. I'm curious. I'd like to try that next time. Drinks with tasty otsumami (small plates to go with alcohol) are the best. It was delicious and fun. It was a great meal꒰*´∀`*꒱

The chef was pleasant, the atmosphere was nice, and the interior had been renovated so it felt fresh and new. We started with a course meal without the All you can drink option. Every dish was carefully prepared, very tasty, and we were completely satisfied. As everyone chose Japanese sake together, we enjoyed a happy time with great food and drinks.

In addition to the classic bonito, they also offer about 8 kinds of straw grilled dishes, including Kyo-gamo (Kyoto duck) and horse meat.
Among the more unusual options, the "straw grilled Camembert cheese" is popular. It is said to be a smoky, rich dish.

The wara-yaki (straw-seared dish) was great after all. This time, I had katsuo (bonito) wara-yaki. They also had wara-yaki options like Sea Bream and horse meat. It was fairly filling too, so it felt like a good deal. It is a nice spot for a quick drink.

The homemade dishes, carefully prepared every day, are well liked.

It is also fun to find a favorite or compare different drinks. In addition to Japanese sake, they also offer a wide range of options such as original highballs and Domestic wine.

This restaurant offers a wide variety of Japanese sake. Even if you think, “I want to drink that one I had the last time I came,” there are often times you can’t find it again, but that also makes it fun to discover something new, and I always look forward to finding a new favorite here. The food is good too, and my top favorite is the tsukune (chicken meatball skewers). I also like the miso-yaki (grilled with miso) served on a hot stone.

They offer all kinds of menu items, from meat to seafood. The dining space is not very large, and maybe there was only one staff member? They have a wide selection of Japanese sake, and if you buy a ticket? you can exchange it for any Japanese sake you like. It is hard to choose, but that gives you something to look forward to next time. The staff service is also good.

A recommended creative sushi roll To finish a drinking party is toro-taku maki (fatty tuna and pickled daikon roll).
This rolled sushi combines rich toro with chopped takuan (pickled daikon), and the melting tuna pairs perfectly with the crunchy texture and salty taste of the takuan.

We stopped by for drinks in Kariya as our second spot. In summer, they have open terrace seating, and in winter it is covered with sheets while still feeling open and nice! Since I was having drinks with old classmates for the first time in a while, we decided to pour bottled beer for each other. Sapporo tastes great too! We ordered a few snacks at random, and every one was good! It was a great meal.

The meat menu is packed with hearty options, including a 1-pound grill and Angus beef Spencer roll.
The photo shows the "Domestic beef Sirloin cap steak." It is served with rock salt, whole grain mustard, and a sweet house sauce. It is satisfyingly hearty, and the rare doneness is said to be just right.

This Italian bar is about a 5-minute walk from Kariya Station, and it has a really nice atmosphere inside. Since it is in an inconspicuous spot, it is relatively uncrowded on many days! They also had several kinds of wine to enjoy, and the food was very good too! It was a place that definitely made me want to go again.

This was my first time visiting this restaurant. We ordered a range of dishes from meat dishes to Italian food, and everything was really delicious. The atmosphere inside was also great, and the staff were very polite, so I would definitely like to come back again. Thank you very much.

Sandaime Torimero Kariya Ekimae Ten is a casual izakaya (Japanese pub) about a 3-minute walk from Kariya Station on the JR and Meitetsu lines.
The interior has a warm wood-toned feel. The table seating is easy to use even for solo diners, and the table seats with noren (traditional fabric dividers) let you enjoy your meal in a relaxed setting.

I started with my usual order. A draft beer, a 5-skewer yakitori assortment, and French fries. After ordering another draft beer and playing around with the touch panel, I found unagikushi (grilled eel skewer) w That meant I had no choice but to switch to Japanese sake, so I went with Hakkaisan. Then I added aji no tataki (chopped horse mackerel) and fried eggplant wrapped in meat, and ended up treating myself to a luxurious solo drinking session with 2 more refills of Hakkaisan.

I visited Sandaime Torimero Kariya Ekimae Ten. This is a restaurant where you can enjoy yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) made with the first generation's secret jiggly sauce, and the third generation's final take, Seiryu Wakadori (young chicken) momo ippon-yaki (whole grilled thigh), was very filling. The restaurant is on the first floor of the building, and the interior was quite spacious, with table seating and zashiki (tatami seating). It was convenient to order from a touch panel, and the food came quickly.
