年末年始（'12～'13）の宴会note「質・量ともに大人のバランス“庵 山頭火”」 : Iori Santouka

[b:《Review 2013.02》] Overall: 4.0 Food/Taste: 4.5 Service: 3.5 Atmosphere: 3.5 Cost-Per-Day: 4.0 Alcohol/Drinks: 4.0 (Visited 2012.12) First of all, to the restaurant: Thank you for your comment. Since then, I have been sponsored and have been brought here several times. Do I really have the right to write a review since I was invited? While thinking about it, I was looking for the right time to write an additional review (lol). However, please forgive me for writing from my own subjective point of view. I would appreciate it if you would also leave comments on these. Since my first visit, I have been coming here with my usual companions from time to time. What I feel when I visit here. The food is changed frequently. This is the most pleasing thing as a customer. You can feel the season, remember the taste you had almost forgotten, learn new ingredients, eat dishes you know but have never tried before in small quantities or at a low price, etc. I am really impressed by the restaurant's policy of not getting bored of eating. The taste and amount are just right. I guess you could say it's just the right amount for us drinkers. (I uploaded a quick photo of each dish.) Now, the reason I decided to write a review this time is because I thought I would keep it in the banquet note I've been taking notes on since last month. I took a different route from my usual companions and had the course menu here for the first time when the announcement of the year-end party was made at the beginning of December last year. I paid my companion 5,000 yen, and today we were told that this amount was all-you-can-drink. I thought the food would be okay because I could imagine how much the food cost here, but I was worrying too much. As you can see in the photo, it started with a basket of hassun, followed by small bowls of sashimi, grilled dishes, foil-grilled dishes, Fried food, and rice dishes in Small dish pot. The number of dishes and the quality were just right, and it was a perfect balance that satisfied adults, even if it was a little too much. And yet, the drinks are all-you-can-drink, from draft beer to sake, shochu, Chuhai (Shochu cocktail), and soft drinks. I thought it was amazing that they could do it at this price. There are many restaurants that serve good food individually, but when you add all-you-can-drink to a banquet course, it becomes like a completely different restaurant. However, this restaurant does the same thing as always, even for banquets. At a banquet I attended last year, it was one of the best banquet Restaurants, considering quality, quantity, price, and service. I have been accompanied by other guests this year, but I will write this year's review next time. It is a good restaurant that you can use comfortably. [b:《Posted 2011.08》 Title: A good restaurant in Marumachi] Overall: 3.5 Food/Taste: 4.0 Service: 3.0 Atmosphere: 3.5 Cost Performance: 3.0 Alcohol/Drinks: 4.0 (This rating was from a visit in 2011.06) Written in early June. I had visited the restaurant several times when it was in Senmaru, but this was my first visit since it moved here. This is what Anzan Touka looked like when I visited. There were counter seats and private rooms, so it seemed like a restaurant that could attract a fair number of customers, with a range of customers including families, couples, married couples, and even women who came alone. There was a wide range of customers. Despite the rain that day, the restaurant was nearly full, and since JR Marumachi Station is nearby, it seemed like there were customers from far away. So, this is my review of Anzan Touka. The storefront has a Japanese feel as you pass through the Sukiyamon gate. You enter the store through a narrow passage with nice indirect lighting. This two-tiered structure really gives off the atmosphere of a restaurant. From the situation, it seems like a high-end store, but if you muster up the courage to go inside, you will find a warm and welcoming atmosphere. There are private rooms, a counter, and what surprised me was that there was a "kids room"? There was even a playground for children! And yet, the store is not noisy, and it is a mysterious space where you can dine in peace. Well, that means housewives with children can also dine leisurely. The menu has a wide variety of snacks and a la carte dishes. There was also a menu that featured Okinawan ingredients, such as bitter melon and island pork. There was also a wide variety of alcohol, and I was fascinated by the sake with yeast NO, and they told me which NO went well with the food and which NO was easy to drink. I decided to try the easy-to-drink NO sake. Once the drinks were ready, we started on the food! Assorted sashimi and charcoal-grilled chicken! There was also a wide variety of salads, including bitter melon, beef tendon, water eggplant, and onion. While enjoying the food, I was able to talk to the humble and friendly owner and his wife, who explained the dishes and the ingredients, in a good atmosphere, and had a great time drinking and eating. One thing that bothered me a little was that the staff were inexperienced. There were some sloppy things, such as the timing of taking orders, the way the food was served, and the way the empty (not yet empty) plates were taken away. Am I the only one who feels that there is a big gap in quality between the owner and the staff? Well, maybe the staff were panicking because they were attracting so many customers? Since it's a matter of customer service, I think this gap in quality will be resolved over time. If the restaurant is good, the people are good, and the food is good, I think it can become a famous restaurant in the local Marumachi area, and I thought it was a restaurant with those qualities. It's been more than two months since my visit, so the quality gap I felt may have been fixed by now.
