I was a bit late, but since it was the birthday of the chef, I couldn't resist coming by.
The restaurant was fully booked, and there were customers on the outdoor terrace as well. Customers kept arriving one after another.
It's a really lively place.
Not even a fancy occasion, but it's still a typical ordinary weekday that shows how popular this place is.
Indeed, it’s impressive.
Due to the heavy traffic, we were unable to host a proper celebration. I'm sorry for that.
Once again, I hope to be able to offer a celebratory toast!
Thank you for your hospitality.
The creative cuisine and seafood izakaya that ranks among the top in Mitsuko, Uki Uki Ranran-san has now opened a new location!
Although the number of counter seats has decreased slightly, the number of table seats has increased significantly, allowing for a more comfortable dining experience inside the restaurant.
The interior has a calm atmosphere, but it still maintains an energetic vibe.
But that's not because the interior of the restaurant is noisy. I think it's due to the energy emanating from the owner of this restaurant.
I always strive with enthusiasm, with the pure desire to delight our customers and make them smile.
The operating hours listed in the foodlog are
“17時30分〜燃え尽きるまで”
The owner's passion is so intense that it seems to never burn out.
It's like always adding oil to one's own flames.
That's the kind of man he is.
That kind of full of charm and elegance owner may seem impressive at first glance, but his smile is really cute when he laughs.
うきうきらんらんさんでは、女性のお客様が圧倒的に多いです。そんな可愛い笑顔に魅了されてしまう女性たちが、次々と訪れるのでしょうね。
Since it was the first day of operation, there were quite a lot of staff members.
However, during regular business hours, it is possible that the owner will be responsible for cooking, while a single female staff member will be in charge of the front desk and drinks service.
He’s a quick and efficient owner. So maybe even a one-person operation for cooking can be managed somehow… but I’m a bit worried about that.
Literally, it seems like they will burn themselves out.
On the first day of opening, the restaurant was fully booked.
The kitchen was very busy, but the quality of the dishes was excellent.
Uki Uki Ranran-san is known for the delicious cuisine it offers. Even after moving to a new location, its reputation remains intact.
We were seven people who visited this place, and everyone kept saying "it was delicious, delicious".
I was also extremely satisfied.
約4ヶ月後には、うきうきらんらんさんは10周年を迎えます。
In a year of such milestones, it's easy to sense the owner's determination and enthusiasm for the future.
I think their enthusiasm is quite impressive.
This restaurant is always bustling with a large number of customers, making it a lively place.
We also hope to be among those who drink and eat there, while cheering for Ukiuranran-san.
Congratulations on the opening of your new restaurant.
I hope you will continue to support us in the future.
Thank you for your hospitality.
A popular restaurant that is always full.

【The following is Ukinran】
Ukinran-san and the master chef’s one-man operation, along with skilled female staff, create a masterpiece like "The Breathing"
It's a restaurant that offers all-round creative cuisine.
Who is that? It's just an ordinary izakaya, isn't it?
What are you saying, Skpontan!
The dishes prepared by the chef are a bit higher in quality compared to those at a typical izakaya.
No, that’s not correct.
The classic menu items of izakaya, such as crab cream croquettes and oyster wings, are also...
“えっ！？カニクリームコロッケって、こんなに美味しかったっけ！？”
“This Oyster Fries is the most delicious one I’ve ever tasted in my life—”
The sound of such praise echoes throughout the restaurant. It’s truly delicious.
There are also other dishes like 'Enkawa Grilled Pon Sauce' which are truly delicious.
The chef grills the edges of the fish, and this is simply outstanding.
Engetawa no nareru wa yōkai aru menmu ni desu.
But the degree of grilling is absolutely perfect.
This is an exact match to the original description.
It is served as freshly grilled, crispy grilled meat.
And the blend of ponzu vinegar and the delicious umami of the wakame that comes with it creates a masterpiece that you won’t find at other restaurants.
Don’t forget about Ukinran’s famous dish, “White Miso Stir-Fry.”
A white miso stew that seems unlikely to exist.
The sense of vision of the chef who noticed that place… I bow my head in respect.
I have a nagging concern that the white miso dish might be some kind of sweetly flavored braised dish. However, it's completely different from that expectation. It's actually a truly delicious braised dish with a rich umami flavor.
The sweet potato added as an accent point also makes a difference.
And if you still find the sweetness a bit too strong, then add ‘Ukinran Special Edible Lardo Oil’!
Suddenly, it transformed into a completely different flavor!
This is also a taste that can become addictive.
Adding soy sauce oil to the stew to add a unique flavor—that's something that ordinary people simply wouldn't even think of.
Oh, formidable Master Ukinaran!
There are also spring rolls with pizza flavor, seafood chidimi paired with kimchi, and many other creative dishes that combine unexpected ingredients in an excellent way.
However！！
The greatness of Ukinran-san lies not only in her cuisine.
The chef’s skill in serving dishes to nearly 18 customers without any wait time, with the restaurant fully booked.
I glanced at the customers inside the restaurant to see how their meals were progressing, using a gaze that could rival Suga Ryotaro’s. I served the dishes one after another, while still ensuring that the food was served in a timely manner.
“Don’t keep customers waiting”
This is important.
But this important thing seems impossible to achieve, really.
This is the ability of the chef.
The cooking speed is, of course, fast. The workmanship is excellent.
But that's not all.
All preparations and timing are processed instantaneously in the brain, and then transmitted to the limbs, allowing for movement over the shortest possible distance without wasted effort.
There are quite a few people who can do this.
Ukinran-san is a restaurant where the outstanding cuisine and the master chef's exceptional skills shine through.
If you want to have a drink in Mitaka, please definitely give Ukinran-san a try.
It is expected that one can see the chef, who wears a fiery aura, cooking with a cool profile.
And once you open the entrance and step inside, you are greeted by the smiling face of the most delicious and kind-hearted chef among the three Katsushika’s chefs.
Delicious cuisine and fine wines are enjoyed to the fullest. When leaving the restaurant, you will notice yourself wearing a gentle smile, like that of the master chef.
Thanks to the kindness of the chef, we were given special time to enjoy our meal. Thank you very much.
The dishes served were all extremely delicious.
Whenever I visit Uki Uki Ranran-san, I always think that they manage to get their work done quickly and efficiently in a short time. This truly demonstrates the excellent skills of a professional chef.
Moreover, the presentation and decoration are carefully considered to ensure a good appearance.
It's absolutely impossible to just get by without doing anything significant.
At Uki Uki Ranran-san, there are many delicious dishes to enjoy.
This time was a sudden and unexpected visit, so I hope to upload more food photos next time.
I am very excited to visit you next time.
Please wait for the chef.
Thank you for the delicious meal.

If we are talking about a Japanese izakaya in Mitaka, then it's the "Uki Uki Ranran" fish store.
Without any flattery, this is a restaurant where everything is delicious.
This is real.
I always think that.
The chef's one-man operation, yet the serving time is short.
The dishes are brought out one after another.
You can see how excellent the brain of the chef is.
I believe the sequence of movements in the mind is quite good.
And move the body in a way that follows the set procedure without wasting any effort.
The coordination between the head and the body is well-balanced.
It's amazing. This is truly a combination of [skill and physique].
This time, a message card was placed on the table seat where I made my reservation.
It's nice to have such things. Isn't it?
All are hand-drawn cute illustrations of shrimps.
What is written are scraps of cardboard.
I think this is really nice.
The chef must have thought, "I want to express my gratitude to the customer who made the reservation."
But there's no paper available ❗️ yet I still want to convey my message ❗️
Perhaps they cut the cardboard that caught my eye.
If the chef is trying to look impressive, I think it's better not to write any messages on the cardboard.
But this master is different.
I place more emphasis on conveying emotions rather than just looking good.
From this single piece of cardboard message card, I could sense the heart of such a chef.
これは最高のメッセージカードですよ。
This is 【heart】.
The head chef of this izakaya, a man who has multiple roles—as a chef, manager, etc.—is a person who wants to delight his customers. He always goes all out until he burns himself out in the process of serving them.
Actually, their smiles are also very cute.
Therefore, it's always crowded.
That is, indeed,
Not only is the taste of the dishes excellent, but I believe the 'heartfelt kindness' of the chef has also resonated with many other customers, and they have truly been touched by it.
Even from what has been said so far, I believe you can already understand...
Ukinran-san's head chef can be described as 【heart, skill, body】.
When these three elements are in place, maximum strength can be unleashed.
I really think it's amazing.
Once again, this evening was a delightful experience with delicious dishes served.
Feeling full and completely satisfied, and also feeling very relaxed.
Once again, I have caused you some inconvenience.

It has been a long time since I last visited, but finally, I managed to come by again.
No, actually, I have taken a look at the restaurant.
But it's always crowded. There are a lot of female customers.
Even though I really want to enter, I can't.
It's quite difficult to arrange plans for such occasions, and it's common to decide to go drinking suddenly. So, it's a matter of timing.
I’ve met the head chef at another restaurant, but it’s still necessary to taste his dishes in person.
Ukinaran-sanの料理は何よりも美味しいです。
I always order the menus that I like. Since I have a personality that doesn’t allow me to take risks, this time too, I ordered all the dishes that I really love.
・Seafood Chidimi
・エンガワ焼き
・Pizza Spring Roll
・Meat Rolls (Mushroom & Cheese)
The seafood chidimi has a crisp and fluffy texture that is very delicious.
Eating kimchi on top is simply outstanding.
この店の焼き物は、焼き方が本当に絶妙です。
I believe the chef probably has a national-level certification in grilled cooking, level 1.
It's absolutely delicious.
The meat rolls are simply meat rolls, but the cooked and completed meat rolls don’t have a simple taste❗️
How is the flavor seasoned?
That's probably a result of the chef's skills.
It's absolutely delicious.
I expected the cheese rolls to be just simple meat wrapped in cheese, but instead, it turned out to be melted cheese that has a flavor reminiscent of a sophisticated béchamel sauce. The meat that was previously wrapped around the cheese seems to have been completely submerged in the sea of melted cheese.
Surely, the meat itself doesn’t even realize that it’s drowning in a sea of cheese.
There, there’s a hint of basil sauce added as an accent, making it an absolutely outstanding dish.
Adding the scent of basil here...
Don't underestimate just a simple meat roll.
I also really like the pizza rolls.
I love pizza, but there is no pizza at this izakaya.
Even if it exists, it's a device for thawing frozen food.
In that regard, Ukinran-san offers pizza spring rolls.
This is even more delicious.
The Paris Saké spring roll, with its exquisite flavor combination of wina and ketchup.
A dish that truly satisfies the desire to eat something similar to pizza.
This is a matter of my personal preference. The dishes prepared by Ukinran-san seem to be suitable for any type of beer, highball, Japanese sake, or sauerkraut. In other words, they can be enjoyed with anything.
Also, something I think about every time is that the chef does everything himself.
Of course, there are female staff members who work very efficiently. Therefore, I leave the service of drinks and dishes to them. However, I believe that the cooking is done by the head chef alone.
Service time is early. They come out quite quickly.
Today, there were three groups of tourists and myself, making a total of 13 people.
At the same time, we will remove it.
Well, it's a matter of course, but I've hardly ever encountered such things in other restaurants.
I think it's amazing.
I don't know the detailed circumstances, but while the chef was cooking, he went outside.
After a while, he returned with a beer case in his arms.
Perhaps, the restaurant ran out of inventory despite customers having ordered beer.
Normally, I would have simply said something like "I'm sorry, we have run out of stock," and that would be it.
We are in a busy situation with one-stop service.
But they must have gone to the local liquor store to buy it.
Such places ❗️
That's right, it's an important place.
That’s why it’s a highly popular restaurant that never runs out of customers.
I've written a lot, but to put it simply:
Every time, it's a restaurant that satisfies me completely.
Thank you for your hospitality.
Once again, thank you very much.

It's been a long time since I've experienced such excitement and joy.
Uki Uki Ranran San San San San San
(I've tried using an echo.)
This time, it was for my friend's birthday, so I visited a favorite izakaya.
This restaurant, known for its delicious food regardless of what you order, is called Uki Uki Ranran-san (commonly referred to as Uki Ranran).
The freshness of the ingredients, the way they were cooked, the seasoning, the serving time, and the staff’s care, their quick and precise actions—there are absolutely no complaints about this restaurant.
Any restaurant, regardless of which one it is, has something in common that can be said about them.
The restaurant is like a mirror that reflects the chef.
The chef’s cooking skills and attitude towards customer service are particularly evident.
In that sense, Ukiran-san, who boasts of being one of the most popular restaurants in Mitaka, is likely to become even harder to book.
Please check.
There are a very large number of female customers here.
This restaurant is always filled with women.
Pairs, groups, even individual diners.
Women, please definitely go and try it.
Men can enjoy delicious food and drink while observing the women around them. That's also a nice way to relax.
Once again, the restaurant was fully booked.
The chef was very active, but I pretended not to see him and kept ordering dishes non-stop.
My always favorite seafood tempura.
A delicious dish that becomes crispy and fluffy when eaten with kimchi.
Don't underestimate it just because it's a small thing.
The steak made from long yuba is also incredibly delicious.
You might think, "It's just long yams cut and roasted, right?" But it's delicious and really hits the spot.
Don’t underestimate a simple sweet potato lightly.
In addition to the usual menu items, this time I tried for the first time Pizza Spring Rolls.
This pizza spring roll is delicious. Really.
No, it's just tomato sauce, cheese, and wieners wrapped inside a spring roll.
But that is truly delicious.
This restaurant is definitely a repeat visitor.
Don't underestimate just a simple pizza spring roll.
From the discussions so far, I believe everyone has noticed something.
It's a fairly common (slightly offensive) menu, but the chef turns it into something absolutely delicious.
Have you ever eaten chidimi, long yuba, and spring rolls, and exclaimed "Delicious‼️"?
That's it.
And another thing that surprised me was the water asparagus.
They cut the water spinach and gave it a light seasoning before serving it. It was also very delicious.
This is a testament to the freshness and quality of the water used in harvesting the sweet potatoes. That’s why the taste is truly outstanding.
Fresh seafood, vegetables, and other high-quality ingredients are used in the best possible ways to bring out their full flavor.
That's really interesting.
I ordered a cream pasta with oysters and tempura cheese.
“Just that I'm running out of pasta, so if you'd like udon instead……” said the chef.
(I thought it would be bad if I used up all the pasta… but considering the chef’s smiling face, I decided to let it go and not worry about it.)
So, I have requested that be done in that manner.
This was also delicious.
I thought, "It seems that even udon can be made into a delicious cream udon."
Also, you must definitely try the meat rolls. Otherwise, you'll regret it.
Please definitely try this dish.
Some of the sake products offered by Ukinran-san may be difficult to obtain due to their rarity.
This time, by chance, there was a fourteenth generation.
ラッキー❗️
Japanese sake is a situation where whoever arrives first gets the chance. So, you have to be quick and visit the store frequently if you don’t want to miss your opportunity.
Perhaps that's why Uki-Uki Ranran-san is so lively and cheerful.
It was extremely delicious.
Thank you for the delicious meal.

On those extremely hot days, sweat would flow down all over the body.
Excitedly and cheerfully
Drink down the icy sauerkraut.
Eating delicious food voraciously
If you are full of energy
The journey back home was a laughing one.
Moreover,
Brightly dressed female customers kept arriving one after another.
That, while peering around here and there
If you drink the high-ball down in big gulps
In my mind, stars ⭐️ and hearts❤️ are swaying gently.
The master who is skilled at showing care
It moves energetically and creates dishes with great enthusiasm.
This time, I tried ordering without any sake.
Thank you for your hospitality.
Everything was delicious.
It always seems to be crowded.
I went to the front of the restaurant several times, only to give up.
Finally managed to make a reservation, and here comes my first visit.
A dear friend made a reservation for us.
Thank you indeed.
There are counters and table seats available.
The counter is a simple counter with a combination of a long bench.
However, for some reason, it feels comforting and stable, making it a pleasant place to be.
The height of the long bench and the counter are perfectly balanced with each other.
It is certain that they understand what human engineering actually is.
The fearless and brilliant chef of Uki Ukinranan.
The meal began with the famous dish, "Dancing Crabs".
Carefully prepared lobster, now beautifully arranged on a plate, still moves slightly.
When eaten, it has a crisp texture and a fresh feel, along with a slightly soft and sticky touch on the palate.
Delicious.
The steak made from long yams is a menu that seems unusual for other restaurants.
Thickly sliced taro is stir-fried, covered with green tea leaves.
The thickness and cooking degree of the long yuba are skillfully calculated. It is crispy on the outside, yet has a smooth and soft texture.
Delicious.
The green seaweed also performs well.
If it's a novice chef, they might combine black pepper and yuzu pepper. However, the fact that they choose to use green tea moss makes it truly remarkable.
It’s so delicious that I can’t think of anything other than green tea leaves for garnish.
Delicious.
While we were doing all this, the head and tail of the dancing lobster we ate earlier came out, cooked to perfection.
The chef managed to cook the ingredients skillfully and deliciously, without wasting any of them.
I, who love shrimp, am extremely happy.
Delicious.
The enaga was grilled until it came out.
I really like the grilled vegetables.
I spoke to the chef and said, "This engawa was grilled by you, right?" He replied, "That's how it is better. I prefer the engawa that I've grilled myself; that's why I serve it to you."
ーーこれです❗️ーー
No matter what anyone says, I will serve dishes that I personally find delicious, in the way that I consider to be the best way to prepare them.
I won't do anything that seems like a simple, routine task that anyone might do.
From the words used, it can be inferred that the chef, who previously specialized in creative cuisine, has a unique and dedicated approach to cooking.
It goes without saying that the engano grilled by such a master chef was delicious.
There are some things that I regret deeply.
That is
【I didn’t take a photo of the meat roll before it was cooked.】
As soon as I entered the restaurant and took my seat, the chef showed me the meat rolls that had been prepared.
The cabbage, yakisoba, and matlashi dango are wrapped around the meat. It’s neatly and carefully wrapped around.
The chef showed me how it was arranged in plenty on a bucket.
Those are meat rolls that have not yet been cooked; they will be cooked in the future.
As a dish, it's in a state of standby.
From now on, it will be cooked and then completed before it can be considered a finished dish.
Even though it was just a preliminary stage of preparation, the meat roll looked extremely delicious.
It’s already delicious. It’s already extremely tasty ❗️
The ability to inspire customers with a desire to eat.
I ordered all three types of meat rolls.
Instinct made me do it. I ate all the varieties.
The meat rolls, after being cooked and taking on their final form as food, are indeed a veritable block of deliciousness, just as expected.
Delicious.
The cabbage rolls are simply delicious.
This "Yakisoba roll" is a delicious dish that invites people to drink sake.
The "みたらし団子巻き" is a dish that pairs perfectly with pork butt. Its sweet and spicy flavor leaves a lasting impression.
Delicious. Really delicious.
My friend, who has visited this restaurant several times, said, "The dishes at Uki Uki Ranran are absolutely delicious—no exaggeration." She invited me to try the food.
Indeed, as I said. Everything is delicious.
One more thing at the end.
The provision of drinks is handled by a female staff member with great efficiency.
She’s a woman staff member who pays close attention to details and is very efficient in her work.
And the beautiful lady.
However, the cooking is done by the chef alone.
However, the service time for the dishes is quite early.
Careful in preparation, and the presentation is also beautiful. Even so, the service is fast and the food is delicious.
The high level of skill of the chef can be inferred from this fact.
Thank you for your hospitality.
Also, I will definitely disturb you again.
