A historic landmark locals consider 'the place to go in Kushiro.' No PR involvement.

What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

Founded in 1953, the birthplace of 'Robata-yaki' (fireside grilling) in Japan. The style of sitting around an irori (sunken hearth) enjoying charcoal-grilled seafood remains unchanged. A 70-year-old historic building with staff in samue. Tabelog 3.51/421 reviews. The special restaurant locals take guests to. Budget 8,000-9,999 yen.

"Highly valuable as the birthplace of robata-yaki. Not just the atmosphere – the ingredient quality and grilling are truly superb." "A must-visit when in Kushiro. Seafood grilled over the irori charcoal is exceptional." "Extraordinary experience for 8,000 yen – only possible in Hokkaido."
