Fake reviews removed

About a 4-minute walk from Dokkyo Daigakumae (Soka-Matsubara) Station. A local izakaya famous for charcoal-grilled Beni-Fuji chicken from Ibaraki Prefecture. Run by a couple for over 30 years, this beloved neighborhood gem fills almost completely on weekends. Long cherished as a 'taste of memories' by Dokkyo University students. The specialty cheese tsukune (meatball) and fresh sashimi are also highly praised.

Featured in the Dokkyo University Alumni blog as 'the taste of memories.' On Retty described as 'an izakaya loved by locals for both yakitori and sashimi.' Reviews note it is 'still as popular as ever' with weekends 'almost always full.' 1,457 saves on Tabelog. Praised for the rich flavor of charcoal-grilled Beni-Fuji chicken and the signature cheese tsukune.
