"I recently visited this restaurant, known for its udon noodles and drinks, after a concert at the Triphony Hall. It was past 9:30 PM when I arrived. The restaurant is located in the basement. I started with a draft beer. They served a complimentary appetizer of yuba (tofu skin), dried daikon radish, and konjac. It was quite delicious. As expected from an udon restaurant, the broth was flavorful, and the three appetizers were all seasoned with a refined taste. They also had a selection of delicious sake, including Taketsuru and Sawaya Matsumoto. Among them, I tried a sake I had never seen before, a 19 La fee des fleurs -Ranhanakamakiri- Origara Mi-Noro-Namagen-shu R5BY from Nagano. It was a refreshing drink. I also enjoyed sake from Nagasaki's Yokoyamaya, Yamagata's Cho Ura Miyabiyama-ryu, and Hiroshima's Taketsuru while savoring the food. The grilled fish was excellent, and the sashimi platter featured four types of fish, including sea bream and golden eye snapper, with the bonito being particularly delicious. The water eggplant was also good, and the meat tofu, cooked in broth, was delicious as well. Finally, I had the udon noodles for my final dish. The thick noodles had a firm texture, truly impressive. The entire meal cost around 5,000 yen per person, making it excellent value for money. I definitely plan to visit again."

"This is a South Indian curry specialty store located a short walk from the north exit of Kinshicho Station. The menu is extensive, offering not only curry but also side dishes and rice dishes. The flavors are spicy, but you can adjust the level of spiciness to some extent, so even those who don't like spicy food can enjoy it. I felt that it had a slightly more unique flavor than regular Indian curry, so I recommend the set with many small dishes for first-timers."

Craft Beer Restaurant

"A beer bar located just a few minutes' walk from the north exit of Kinshicho Station. I visited on a Saturday night. It's open until 2:00 AM, so I used it for my third round of drinks. The interior has a counter on the first floor, and it seems like there are tables for groups on the second floor. Although it's a beer bar, they have a wide variety of drinks besides craft beer, including wine, gin, rum, and whiskey. However, most of them seem to be domestic. Even the wine is Japanese wine. They serve roasted rice crackers as an appetizer. They have a wide selection of craft beers, available in glasses, mugs, or bottles. You can choose your own or tell the staff your preferences and they'll recommend something for you. I ordered the Full Speed Ahead from Ehime Prefecture. It's a beer with a pineapple and tropical fruity flavor. But it still has a good beer taste and isn't too light, so it's delicious. My companion had the Edel Pils, which had a strong bitterness but was crisp and refreshing, and it was also delicious. There were so many other interesting beers that I want to go back late at night again."
