A famous restaurant that you definitely want to visit again

The shop was located in a back alley a few minutes away from Hotel Kagetsu. The lights illuminating the storefronts stand out in the dark street. When I entered the store, the counter was already full. I was a little nervous as it was my first time at the restaurant, but the owner at the counter was kind and friendly towards us, our first customers. All the dishes were delicious and I could feel the elegance and confidence of this long-established restaurant. They carry a variety of local sake from Shinshu, including Daisetsukei and Daishinshu, as well as my recent favorite Suwa sake, Mikotsuru, and the less widely available Yodaimae. First we toasted with draft beer. Afterwards, my wife drank three glasses of Saku sake, which is not on the regular menu, and two cold glasses of Daisetsukei no Yari. I drank three cups of hot sake from Taisekei and one glass of cold sake before dawn. The first dish we ate was three types of sashimi. This included firefly squid, fried shrimp, and fava tofu. After tasting the sashimi with draft beer, I ordered wasabi ohitashi, button shrimp sashimi, and wild vegetable Tempura. The wasabi ohitashi was soaked in a sweet and salty soup, and the sharp spiciness of the wasabi matched well with the sake, making it an exquisite dish. The botan shrimp was so large and fresh that you wouldn't expect it to be in Matsumoto. He seemed to be particular about eating wild vegetable Tempura with coarse salt. There were three types of Tempura: butterbur sprouts, cod sprouts, and bamboo shoots. The bamboo shoots had a flavor similar to young corn and were very delicious. Next, we finally ordered horse sashimi, sanzokuyaki, and homemade fish cakes. There are two types of horse sashimi, lean and slightly marbled, served with ginger and soy sauce. I expected it to smell like horse, but it had no odor at all and had a very elegant taste. The red meat had a texture similar to red tuna. The horse sashimi I know is served with garlic, but the horse sashimi at this restaurant only has ginger as a condiment. Horse meat has no odor at all, so it's probably quite delicious even when eaten this way. The Sanzokuyaki had an elegant taste without too much garlic flavor. The meat was thin and easy to eat. The homemade fish cakes were clearly homemade, and were made by mixing minced fish with kombu kelp, chopped onions, and chopped carrots and deep-frying them, making them piping hot and delicious. When served with grated daikon radish, it had a refreshing taste and was even more delicious. To finish off our meal, we ordered one Onigiri each. As for the toppings, I use cod roe. My wife is plum. We both drank a bowl of miso soup. The soup was very hot, and the toppings were seaweed seaweed and a little bit of onion, which made my stomach feel relieved after drinking alcohol.
