Upon entering the shop, the first thing that catches the eye isn't the lighting or the signboard, but rather a whole wall of "craft beer refrigerators," instantly creating a great atmosphere. The shop boasts over 300 craft beers from around the world; just looking at the bottles is like browsing a mini beer exhibition: whether you want something refreshing, fruity, or a stronger beer, you can find what you're looking for. Because of the wide selection, this shop is especially suitable for groups where some people want to drink, some just want a small drink, and some are driving—everyone doesn't have to compromise their tastes to accommodate everyone else.

It's not your typical izakaya that's purely Japanese in style. The space blends Japanese elements with 19th-century European romance, creating a ritualistic feeling of finally relaxing after a long day at work. The bar seating is a highlight: chatting while watching the chef prepare the food transforms the wait into an enjoyable experience. Whether you want a quiet drink or a lively gathering with friends, you can find a comfortable spot and a great pace.

This restaurant's menu focuses on local specialties from various prefectures and cities across Japan, essentially condensing the essence of regional Japanese cuisine into a single menu. You can treat it as a light-trip dining experience: one day you might crave the flavors of Hiroshima, the next you might want a different Shizuoka main course, interspersed with grilled or fried items or side dishes to accompany drinks. The combinations are flexible and perfect for sharing with others. For group meals, the focus isn't on everyone ordering a main course, but rather on creating a "map of regional Japanese cuisine" on the table together.

For those who have trouble making choices, when ordering food, you can first focus on a few directions: there should be staple food, hot pot, seafood, and dessert, so that the whole meal will be complete.

  • Teriyaki Beef: A layered texture reminiscent of Hiroshima cuisine, offering a delightful combination of pasta flavor and the rich taste of teriyaki beef.
  • Salt-flavored pork cutlet Fujimiya yakisoba: The peppery aroma of the salt sauce combined with the crunchy toppings makes it an addictive main dish.
  • Yuzu-flavored mackerel: The umami-infused marinade enhances the flavor, making the fish taste cleaner and more delicate.
  • Oyster hot pot: Red miso and dashi broth infuse the seafood into the soup, perfect for warming the stomach or pairing with sake.
  • Japanese matcha red bean dumplings: Not too sweet at the end, perfect as a "that's enough for today" ending.

The beverage selection also includes alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, such as pineapple sparkling wine, Jin Xuan tea beer, sake beer and non-alcoholic beer, so there's something for everyone.
