What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A beer restaurant run by one of Japan's first craft breweries, established in 1994. The 'Okhotsk Kitami Salt Yakisoba'—made with Kitami onions, Okhotsk scallops and a specialty salt sauce—is a beloved local dish that competed at the B-1 Grand Prix food festival. The finale, pouring scallop-essence 'magic water' tableside, elevates the dish. Ezo deer and onion dishes using Hokkaido produce round out the menu. A 187-seat landmark beloved by locals and visitors alike. TripAdvisor ranked #5 of 653 restaurants in Kitami. 776m walk from Kitami Station.

Reviewers rave about 'the performance of pouring scallop magic water tableside — unforgettable' and 'the combination of local craft beer and Hokkaido ingredients perfectly captures the essence of Kitami.' Many describe it as 'a must-visit every time I come to Kitami' and note it is equally popular with locals for company parties and with tourists. Tabelog 3.48/201 reviews. TripAdvisor #5 of 653 in Kitami. Jalan 4.2/31 reviews.
