We had our first meal in Nagano City with three people. It was at this restaurant located in front of the train station!
Upon entering the restaurant
Huh?
Previously, all the seats were for standing drinks, but now there are seats available for sitting down.
Well, since we are three people, we’ll sit at the counter.

Delicious collagen-rich eel. I really like it~♪
It was delicious! ♪
Thank you very much for your hospitality.
We were originally planning to visit the same group (cool-cooling) restaurant 【Mei to Yue】, but it was full, so we decided to stop at this restaurant instead.
Upon entering, I was directed to the counter in the very back of the restaurant.
This restaurant has all seating arrangements that are standing positions.
Please refer to previous reviews for more details on this situation.
This time
◎『生ビール中(プレミアムモルツ)』
◎『いいやま産のアスパラ天ぷら』
“Please start eating from the front.”
20センチを超える大きさで、とても柔らかく、美味しい味がします！本当に旬の食材ですね～♪
◎『地物わらびお浸し』
This one is also a prime season item~♪ I was quite surprised by the large quantity available.
◎『北信流 純米吟醸』一合
I am tasting Oban sake for the first time♪
◎『近大まぐろ お造り三種食べ比べ』
First time enjoying farmed salmon♪
However, I thought that the near-da-maguero was completely wiped out due to last year’s typhoon. But it turned out that some survived!!
Now, let's eat! ♪
(^～^) Yeah! There's no strange taste or smell at all!
However, the unique aroma of the red meat seems to be absent instead... (;´д｀)
This restaurant also lacks both aroma and sweetness.
Even though the large tuna has plenty of fatty meat, its sweetness is lacking, which is a bit disappointing. However, it’s amazing that aquaculture has progressed to this level.
So, I received a message from 【Me and the Oriole】 that there was an empty seat available. I paid the bill and then headed towards 【Me and the Oriole】.
Near the exit, there’s a spiced asparagus served in a jokki! While looking at the fresh shiitake mushrooms coming out of the bottle, I head outside.
It was delicious! ♪
Thank you very much for your hospitality.
There isn't a restaurant that offers such a lively drinking atmosphere as this one!
This restaurant is located just three minutes walk from the previous restaurant [Torikomachi].
【天ぷらと寿司18帖】へ
Indeed, due to the continuous visits over several days, the craftsman remembered me and led me to the very back of the place.
◎『生えいひれの天ぷら』
◎『海鮮天ぷら 三種盛り合わせ』
◎『能登ふぐの白子天ぷら』
◎『大信州』
I found that there are black and white versions of the coaster. When I asked about them…
White: "It's okay if you call me."
Kuro said, "Speak to them gently, and let them drink quietly."
What's that♪
Also, I learned that there are hooks under the counter where you can hang things like bags!
My companion also enjoyed the "Katsu Irie Tenpura" as much as I did the previous day, and she was delighted with it, eating it with great pleasure.
That was great!
Thank you very much for your hospitality (*^人^*)
At around 10:30 PM, arrived at Nagano City!
Looking for a soba restaurant in front of the station.
That's exactly what they haven't done. T_T
The restaurant closed at 11 pm, and even after checking on Yumello, some restaurants were already closed, so it became difficult to find a place to eat.
At major manufacturers' izakayas, such services are offered, but I prefer to avoid them whenever possible.
I was certain that there were no soba shops near the station, but now I'm confused about what exactly I should be looking for instead.
Just next to the station, we found a store with a narrow entrance but a dazzling appearance. We entered the store!
They welcomed me with a refreshing atmosphere.
First guests were a group of five people and several solo customers.
At the entrance, I have confirmed that it is a store offering 'Japanese sake', 'yaki-don', and 'sushi'.
It's a standing-food system.
If you can enjoy delicious alcohol and delicious food, then even a seated dining experience would be fine!
So, first of all, beverages.
If I was hesitating, the craftsman asked, "Do you prefer a strong taste?" and then I received a special pure sake from Mr. "Kinsho" from Suwa (〃▽〃).
The spigot
◎『コゴミの和え物』
The dishes are unique!
◎『生えいひれの天ぷら』
Rare (*^o^*)… That’s the decision!
The finished takoyaki are 5 pieces.
After taking a bite, the crispy texture of the cartilage part is really enjoyable. And then, there's that creamy texture! The collagen is melting in your mouth.
I can't stand it (´V`)♪
Next up: Japanese sake
◎『垂氷』
This too is a flavorful experience.
Next, from the menu, what catches our attention is
◎『三種類の雲丹を比較してみる』
Yes.
2,500円は高額ですが、「塩水うに」ということなので、それを注文してみることにします。
The one in front is a purple abalone, the one in the upper right is from Chigusa, and the one in the upper left is from Kutsumi.
Colors are different, and the flavors are also different—it's a pleasure♪
Once again, the cup is empty.
◎『佐久の花』
Order one serving.
Final dismissal
◎『塩穴子の握り』赤酢
終了～♪
It was quite good, huh~♪
Thank you very much for your hospitality (*^人^*)
