上質な料理に舌鼓「かりん燈」 : Karintou

◉Genre: Izakaya (Japanese-style bar): Sakaimachi area, Kokurakita Ward, Kitakyushu City ◉Access: About 6 minutes walk from JR Kokura Station ◉Parking: None (coin parking available nearby) ◉Credit payment: Accepted ◉Number of uses: First time ◉Reviews Number of times: 1st time On this day, I casually went to Karin Tou. ◇ Exterior and interior This is Izakaya (Japanese-style bar) located in Sakaimachi, Kokura Kita Ward, Kitakyushu City. Even though it's Izakaya (Japanese-style bar), it's not crowded, it's not crowded, and it has a slightly more adult atmosphere. If you sit at the counter, it may have the elements of a kappo Izakaya (Japanese-style bar). Light background music plays inside the store, and smoking is permitted. ◇Seating There is a counter seat on the left side when you enter the store, and a semi-private room in front of it. There is a small raised seat with a sunken kotatsu on the right side. ◇Menu composition Two-tiered menu: regular menu and today's recommendations. It has a well-balanced composition, but what is noteworthy is that there is a narrow roll. Of course, a la carte, fried food, and rice dishes. At first glance, I thought it was a menu for drinking assistants, but the portions were just right, and the menu wasn't too narrow, so it felt like they had carefully selected the menu. The following is what I ordered:・Striped horse mackerel (900 yen) → Striped horse mackerel for the first time in a while. I couldn't help but get excited about this dish, but it lived up to my expectations. It is served in a beautiful glass bowl, and the garnishes include ginger, lemon, and wasabi. The essential striped horse mackerel is fatty, cut into slightly thicker pieces, and the elasticity of the meat is on a whole other level! It's been a while since I've had sashimi, and I finished it right away. LOL Soy sauce was the standard, but with this, my excitement went up...(//∇//) ・Kanmon Octopus Blue Fried Chicken (650 yen) → I ordered the Tsure. I've always said, "Octopus is raw!" and I'm hooked. lol That's how delicious it is. The octopus is cut into small pieces to make it easier to eat, and it becomes sweeter when heated. The blue that surrounds it is also fragrant, and the sensation that pierces through your nose is indescribable. It's enough without the salt and lemon garnish, but it's okay if you think the taste is strange. Salt in particular plays a role in bringing out the sweetness, so there's no reason why sake won't go well with it...LOL - Yam iron plate (630 yen) → It's been a long time since I've listed the third item. LOL I call myself... well, there's no reason I wouldn't review a mountain iron that I love so much that I've been called a ``mountain iron doctor'' by my friends... I'll keep it simple, even if I'm lazy. As a result, it is delicious. Chopping condiments such as green onions and bonito flakes and squeezing them into a single piece of seaweed... A dish that can be squeezed out and also eliminates the need for ponzu sauce, etc. There is also a way to make good use of oil and prevent it from burning even though it has already been mixed. , the taste itself is not dull. Yes, this is usually delicious. ◆Strong point: There is no appetizer! High quality food! ! ! ◆Customer service: Definitely above average. ◆Summary It's been a long time since I've had a chance to sit at the counter next time and enjoy a conversation with the owner. I can't help but think that it would be nice to have a little more sake, but I'm still satisfied. There is also a hosomaki called "Atemaki" ◎ If the business hours are late, there is a high probability that I will go there...On the other hand, it is a shame that it is difficult to use it due to business hours. Thank you for the meal ^ ^
