Autumn Appetite: Enjoying Daytime Drinking

Hello there!
Autumn has so much delicious food that I'm in a bit of a bind, and
before we face the cold winter,
I wonder if it's just instinct to try and store up some fat,
but I really feel my appetite increasing! 😆

In my last post, I briefly mentioned a restaurant where everything you eat is incredibly delicious,
and I actually went there for some daytime drinking during the recent three-day weekend.
They aren't open for daytime drinking all the time, and since the owner runs the place all by himself,
reservations are a must.

The name of the restaurant is

Izakaya TSUKUMOYA

It's a frighteningly delicious place located at 11-chome, Kita 29-jo Nishi, Kita-ku, Sapporo.
If you look at their Instagram, you'll be in agony because it's full of delicious things! 😆

The restaurant is on the first floor of a building with a nostalgic Showa-era feel,
but there are sofa seats, and it has a bit of a cafe vibe,
making it a place where you can truly relax.
The owner is a spirited person who worked as a fisherman to learn about fish, and even went into the mountains to hunt himself when he started serving gibier (wild game) dishes in Hokkaido,
so I imagined someone like a rugged mountain man,
but the actual owner is sharp-looking and refreshing,
and for a moment, I thought, 'Is he a hairdresser?'
That's the kind of person he is.
On this day, we started with the owner's recommended lemon sour. 🍋

First, I ordered the wine-pickled myoga (Japanese ginger), which looked wonderfully vibrant red on Instagram.

We kept on ordering.
Next up is the homemade karasumi (bottarga)! ❣️

For our next drinks...

By the way, the reason I found out about this place
is because when my husband went to his regular liquor store near this restaurant,
he happened to overhear the lady of the liquor store telling someone from a sake brewery that everything at this restaurant is incredibly delicious.
Well done, husband! 😆

Well then,

I'll keep introducing them one after another.

Ah~, that was delicious♥️
Everything was wonderfully delicious😋

According to reviews, the ramen for the final course is also supposed to be amazing, but
I was too full to manage it.

The pair who entered after us also seemed
to have arrived with a sense of excitement,
and it made me happy to see how much
this place is loved by foodies.😊

Next time, maybe a hot pot with some sake would be nice.

That's all for now...
