What kind of place?
Fake reviews removed

A long-established robata (charcoal hearth) izakaya in Abashiri. The signature 'Yaki Gani' — live Okhotsk crab grilled right at the hearth — is an experience unavailable anywhere else; the juice that flows when you crack the shell is something special. Scallops, oysters, and seasonal seafood are all grilled over charcoal in grand style. Business traveler regulars say "this quality at this price is unthinkable in Tokyo." Yahoo Maps 3.95. Courses starting from 3,500 yen.

"The grilled crab is sensational. Live Okhotsk crab at this price is unbelievable." "The robata experience you absolutely cannot miss in Abashiri. Makes you want to become a regular." "Course meals at a price unthinkable in Tokyo. I come here every business trip."
