January 15th, 2023 (Sunday)
Entrance to the restaurant, and I thought about ordering something, but the manager is an old man who looks like a boss.
Someone said that they can read this image and place an order on their smartphone! I've never experienced something like this before.
If you answer with "from now on," what are you saying about such a simple matter? In the future...
It's only possible to make a reservation like that… from above! If you have a smartphone…
What should we do if there isn’t one? Also, whether you have a smartphone in advance or not.
If you do not confirm it, and since it's still in the introduction phase and may take some time, then oral confirmation is also acceptable.
No words from the source text are translated. The original Japanese script remains intact in the descriptive text. Only unavoidable proper nouns are translated or romanized when necessary.
Two elderly people who were left behind by the advanced tools of civilization! They have kept their patience to a limit!
For now, I've had to endure and operate my smartphone. However, the font is so small that it's difficult to read the menu items I want.
It cannot be found! I search through the bag, but I don’t have my glasses with me.
Absolutely terrible!
It took about 15 minutes to order 4 dishes. Maybe there was an error in my operation again.
It’s possible that out of the four items I ordered, two of them were not served at all. I ordered these items later on.
It has also been discovered that they are not what they claim to be!
When changing the ordering system, it should be handled both orally and via smartphones during the current period.
I also thought it would be nice to consider a period of introduction for this restaurant! In the end, I asked the staff...
No questions or inquiries regarding the quality of the cuisine could be addressed, or rather, there was a complete lack of such opportunities. It could be described as a place of "absence" or perhaps "quietness," where patience is required.
My heart couldn't settle down, so I ordered three dishes. Meanwhile, my wife ordered two highball drinks, and my wife ordered red wine.
1杯で早々に解散しましたよ!

Our order was,
エイヒレ 430円(税込)
Grilled dumplings 330 yen
Marinated Combo 390円
カント・ハイボール 330円 x 2
Red Wine 330 yen
------------------------------------------
In the Kansai region, where there are many elderly people living alone, even with efforts to reduce labor costs and take measures against the COVID-19 pandemic,
A izakaya where there is no conversation whatsoever with the staff, whether it's through masks or otherwise.
Is it enjoyable to visit here? In the past, it was a lively and great place that seemed like a good destination.
However...
But even with compromise measures like the introduction period, a stubborn and determined father like me...
It might not have any effect after all! I can't agree with that, but I have to accept it.
Must do --- It's an era that demands action right now!
Thank you for the delicious meal.

At 11:30, we started our walk towards Ida from Ikeda.
After walking for about 30 minutes, it began to rain. There was no other choice but to turn back. I wasn’t even fully hungry at that time.
It's 1 PM now, and we've started our lunchtime drinking session at the Kawashikawa branch!
It's still 1pm, yet the restaurant is almost full with lunch customers! The hall here...
The restaurants here have many beautiful ladies working there, and they always greet customers with smiles and provide excellent service.
It seems to be a comfortable place for both single men and elderly people, doesn't it?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Our order was,
I bought a single cucumber, which costs 250 yen (including tax).
Vegetable Compilation 530 yen
タコワサビ 360円
角ハイボール 328円 2杯

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Indeed, in just less than two hours after breakfast, the hunger didn't feel as bad as I thought it would.
It was a pleasant experience. The staff were beautiful and cheerful, and the food was delicious, so I was fully satisfied.
They did it.
Looking at the current trends, this is the number one izakaya in Kawashii Nessoku.
Its status is unshakable, isn't it!
Today again, it was a treat to dine at your restaurant!

March 20, 2021 (Saturday)
Today's walking distance was still a little less than 20,000 steps. Since my stride is 60 cm,
At this stage, it's about 12 kilometers. Compared to the usual 20 kilometers, we've exceeded that.
The sense of satisfaction was minimal, but it wasn’t the time to push myself too hard—that’s why I could be satisfied with the results.
Tayo.
First, I got off at Kawanishi Nessoku Station. I was struggling to decide which restaurant to choose, but it was still open at this time.
When it comes to restaurants, this place is either a full-service restaurant or a bar! During the COVID-19 pandemic...
To ensure safety and cost control, this service offers a solution for storing sake bottles. It's perfect for all needs.
There are only them! I entered at 14:30, but it was completely filled with old men and old women who came here for a drink during the day.
Isn't it amazing? Even in just 30 minutes since we entered the restaurant, there were already about 10 couples...
People came in one after another! The restaurant is affordable, and the food is consistently good.
It seems that this is a fundamental principle for the restaurant's success.
-------------------------------------------------
Our order was,
Nagata Katsudon 110 yen x 7 pieces (excluding tax)
One cucumber pickled 253 yen
白菜キムチ 319円
Glass Wine (Red) 440円
Sake Oyukare Set –
-------------------------------------------------
The sake bottles were almost empty, but three cups of hot water drinks were prepared over a mere 45 minutes.
I enjoyed it to a high degree. The food was excellent, and the female staff were quick and efficient in their interactions.
This restaurant has become even more delicious with its alcohol!
Since the total cost for two people is 1,782 yen, today’s meal will be priced at 1,000 yen per person!
Thank you very much for your hospitality!
January 3, 2021 (Sunday)
Traveling between Kawachi City, Ida City, Toyocho City, and Ikeda City, I finally returned to Kawachi City.
It's time. It's 3 p.m., and my throat is dry—the perfect time to have a drink of alcohol.
The izakaya that is open starting at this time is owned by Manmar-san. It's located in front of the station, where people can drink while standing up.
There are only one or two such restaurants. If so, I would definitely visit a larger establishment like the Full Mart-san during this time.
That's right!
------------------------------------------------------------
Ordering is,
I ordered shiitake mushrooms, which cost 110 yen (including tax).

------------------------------------------------------------
Oh, the female staff at this restaurant today were really impressive! They managed to handle dozens of customers by themselves.
The person efficiently handled all aspects of ordering, serving, and payment for the dishes. Along the way, everyone rushed ahead...
Even towards customers who push themselves too hard, they respond with kindness and do not show any discomfort on the surface.
It didn’t happen at all. Actually, all the dishes are delicious. But…
When served to the staff, the food seems even more delicious than the original dish! Isn't that wonderful?
And another thing that made me happy was perhaps the lucky money from the New Year's holiday, which has no expiration date.
The bottle was half-price! It seemed like a bonus from the lottery, as I didn’t know about it when placing the order, and only found out later.
Wow!
Well, considering the situation during the COVID-19 pandemic where our influence is increasing, it might be better to have such gatherings once a month.
It’s unknown.
Thank you very much for your hospitality!

After the heart surgery, I resumed walking after dinner in the evening. From then on, I walked about 2 to 3 times a week.
I met a person of the same age as me --- during the casual greetings we exchanged, we naturally became friends.
And, I’d like to invite you to dinner tonight! I’ve considered various restaurants in Kawanishi.
Every place seems to be fully booked due to holidays or reservations. If there are any available spots, it’s only the larger venues like this one. — First time here.
I thought it might be a bit too "rustic" to invite someone like that, but it's just an informal gathering among neighbors.
Please ask for forgiveness! Well, after a brief introduction of myself,

I ordered 3 cups of highball and 2 cups of sake. My friend ordered 2 cups of middle-grade sake and 3 cups of sake. My wife ordered middle-grade drinks.
And two glasses of sparkling wine, I drank quite a bit today!
The cuisine was just as delicious as usual, with the chicken katsu being particularly outstanding. What stood out was the ebi mayo.
I see. I understand that it has a high carbohydrate content—but this seems like something that could become addictive.
After that, the pickled vegetables set is perfect for sake. It’s also a great accompaniment to other dishes.
そうだよ。
I was able to gather with new friends and enjoy delicious food.
Today again, it was a treat to dine at your restaurant.
August 14, 2020 (Tuesday)
After enjoying a stylish morning drink at Megata, it's nice to return to the comfortable atmosphere of the old man and his wife.
From the perspective of wanting to receive it --- back to Kawanishi Nessoku, here's Mr. Manmaru.
Visit! It's already been 5 to 6 visits here! Cheap and delicious... what a great place.
This is a pub. I learned about it at a store in Nizaiki, and later it opened in Kawashii and Thirteen.
この店をきっかけにファンになりました。どこも気楽で素敵な場所ですね。
This is a sake shop!
Today again, I enjoyed two highballs and green tea shochu, along with ten takoyaki (my spouse had five).
It's done. Now, for the first time in a long time, I've had sugar-free dumplings and a piece of cucumber pickled with vinegar! This is truly refreshing.
(青還是緑?)如果說顏色有點不祥的話,那確實是不祥的。不過對於高級牛排來說,這種顏色也挺適合啊。
It’s just irresistible. Isn’t it?

If it ends like this, then it's possible to maintain one's weight!
Today again, it was a treat to dine at your restaurant!

February 22, 2021 (Friday)
A senior at the university, who was also my boss during my time as a salaried employee. Close to my retirement date.
An 88-year-old benefactor attended last year’s New Year’s party… just two months have passed, and yet… by train…
It took 1 hour and 30 minutes to travel from the academic city of Kobe. They informed me that they would come back for more fun.
Looking for a bar that is open from noon onwards, but there’s only one such place nearby!
So, I went there at 3 o’clock without making any reservations. But everywhere, there were groups of elderly people and women’s associations?
On Friday noon, although it wasn’t completely full, the place was still pretty crowded.

-------------------------------------------------------
I enjoyed the sake from Kip, but there was still about 650 cc left.
I drank a bit too much here. Starting from April, I'm living alone in a nursing home (costing tens of millions?).
Living in a luxurious lifestyle where one can return to one's home only on weekends, with the wife being present.
It is a place where one can live their life. Perhaps there isn’t anything else, but perhaps it’s also a form of envy. In the end, it’s all about money.
I realized that it was all of it.
Senpai was very fond of the dishes at this restaurant! Every dish was truly delicious.
So, even if we don't go there, it's at least as good as a chain restaurant or a bar, which is quite satisfactory.
Certainly. I was already somewhat intoxicated, and my dazed body craved a peaceful coffee and sugar.
It seems that they headed towards the station in search of something.
Today again, it was a treat to dine at your restaurant!
April 4, 2019 (Friday)
I have been drinking here every day since the end of the year. But today is the day I start working again! This morning, I received an email...
After the arrangement, we started our morning drink at a Chinese restaurant near the company, the Tianfeng Restaurant, at 11 o'clock!
After drinking breakfast, I spent the rest of the time organizing tasks until 14 o’clock. To be honest, my work mainly involved cleaning and organizing things at the company.
It's just about tidiness --- in between, the review checks by my reviewer...
That's your main job, right?
Also, starting tomorrow, the official walking program for the 2019 season begins. Therefore, it's necessary to store energy.
Visiting Mr. Manmar here after work!
-------------------------------------------------------------
Our order was,

When I'm in good spirits, I usually order high-ball drinks followed by 4 to 5 cups of sake cocktails.
After the New Year, I'm in a good mood, so today I'm going to keep a bottle of shochu.
It was provided. A "Kamekatsu Bottle" is offered for around 3,000 yen, so in terms of price...
大约7杯的量!一杯的酒精含量大概是50㏄左右,所以可以持续地饮用。
If you do it, then for the yakiniku, we'll only provide bottles!
The appetizer that matched perfectly with the shochu was sufficient to satisfy my needs. However, looking around, I noticed that there were people of similar age as me as well.
I was surprised by the high number of elderly people in that area. Around Kawashikawa Nessoku...
When you arrive here, there are quite a number of fields (such as potatoes), and those who work on them often suffer from sunburn.
It's nice. Unlike the peaceful atmosphere that's suitable for relieving fatigue after a day of work, it's more like a place where people can return to nature...
It seemed that there were many young people, their parents, and relatives present, making it a somewhat noisy occasion.
There were also some things like that. Peace is truly a precious thing!
2019년의 건강과 만마르 씨의 사업 번창을 기원하며!
Today, it was a feast indeed!

Elderly people are not good at finding new restaurants, right? They prefer familiar places and staff they know well.
It's a calm and comfortable place. But since it's my second visit, there's still a lot to improve.
The new customer ordered while trying to understand everything with a sense of novelty.

Last week, I got carried away and drank too much. So today, I'll just have a light meal.
4杯のワインを飲み、妻はグラスで2杯のワインをゆっくりと楽しんだだけです。でも…
A glass of wine during the day still feels pleasant!
Today, I arrived at the restaurant at 3:30. By 4:30, it was almost completely full. There were people waiting outside.
It was a situation like this. In Kawashikawa, people of all ages and genders gathered in such restaurants to enjoy themselves.
It's become possible, isn't it?
Today, it was another delicious meal provided by the host.

After 10 o’clock, I was walking around Kawachi Nessoku area when I headed towards Ida.
At the first major intersection on the way ahead — where I had been before, in front of Nishiazaki Station.
Is there a "Manmaru" restaurant in Kawashiro? It opened at 11:30, right?
Does that mean it’s possible to drink at breakfast or lunch time? But there’s a limit of about an hour in terms of time availability.
If I can visit here in the evening, I will have lunch at Ikeda.
At 15 o’clock, we concluded today's walking activity and headed towards Kawashikawa Nessoku's Manmar! In October...
Even just now, it was still fresh --- even at this time of day, 70% of the seats were occupied. But it’s the same as us in the same year.
There are quite a lot of代. Do young people really flow towards Umeda? Drinks
The price is 30% higher compared to the prices at Meida’s shopping malls. However, the cuisine is quite affordable.
However, it's not as cheap as that! Perhaps it's the fate of the hostel in Kawashikawa Nessoku.

Perhaps the target customer group is young women. Several staff members are definitely JANI-related.
Was it a Japanese-style restaurant? No wonder there were quite a few female college students who came from around evening time.
Welcome! This is the first time I've seen a street food stall at Kawashii Nessoku.
Since it's a yakinoyu, I expect it to be quite busy. As for the prices...
In Kawachi Nessoku, I believe it offers the lowest price. However, there isn't as intense competition as in Umeda.
The future development looks promising.
Thank you for your hospitality.
