Came to Japan after a long absence
This time I traveled to Osaka and Kyoto and booked a hotel at Kyoto Station.
After checking in, I ran to the Kamo River to see the cherry blossoms that were beginning to wither.
On the way back to the hotel on foot, I randomly found an izakaya.
Japanese izakayas generally have an attractive appearance, and it is basically difficult to choose based on their appearance.
As soon as I entered the store, I didn't speak much English and casually said "three people" (Taiwanese English), and the waiter knew what I meant.
After taking our order, the waiter handed each of us a hand towel and the chicken drumsticks marinated in sauce. We thought they would taste terrible.
The result was unexpectedly delicious
The meals we ordered later were served slowly.

✨Salmon rice ball (242 yen):
This salmon rice ball is made by sprinkling salmon on the rice ball, picking up a little salmon at a time and serving it with sweet rice. It complements each other to become a delicious meal. It may be better if the salmon is wrapped in the rice ball from the beginning. .

·Charcoal grilled shiitake mushrooms (440 yen):
The store said that the taste of shiitake mushrooms is well handled and there is not too much mushroom smell. However, I personally don’t like shiitake mushrooms so I won’t give it a try 😂

✨Chicken heart skewers (374 yen):
This is probably my favorite dish besides the chicken drumsticks for entertaining.
The sauces in this izakaya are all used appropriately. They are not overly salty or tasteless. The chicken hearts are slightly pressed over to allow the sauce to penetrate. Although they are roasted, the overall texture is soft and easy to eat.

·Pork belly skewers (396 yen):
I am a person who likes pork belly very much. The pork belly here has a slightly fatty taste, especially the lean parts are not roasted properly and need a little more chewing.

・Grilled fish (440 yen):
The fishy smell has been cleaned up, but this dish itself doesn’t have much memorable points, just average

· Yakitori platter (1,430 yen):
There are chicken rolls, onion and garlic chicken, white sauce chicken breast, and chicken gizzards.
Personally, I think the chicken rolls are probably better than the ones at the night market.
The onion and garlic chicken is good, the chicken is grilled well
The chicken breast in white sauce is probably the part that confuses me the most. The white sauce doesn't help the chicken breast at all...
The chicken gizzards are moderately soft and hard, and it should go well with rice.

The meal amount plus the seat fee of 396 yen (tax included) per person = about 4,500 yen, which is about NT$950 when converted to 0.21. It is just over 300 yuan per person, and the CP value is not bad👍
