A popular restaurant known to everyone in the area! An izakaya that boasts seafood and grilled skewers and where you can enjoy both lunch and dinner

Hello. I'm Momo and I love going to izakayas.

This time, we will introduce you to a very popular izakaya in Yukuhashi City where you can enjoy both lunch and dinner.

A popular izakaya known to everyone in the local area! Chachamaru Honten (Yukuhashi City) is renowned for its seafood dishes and grilled skewers.

Chachamaru Honten is located along Yasukawa Street, a 6-minute walk from the west exit of JR Yukuhashi Station. There is a parking lot in front of the store that can accommodate 15 cars, so it is convenient to go by car.

This izakaya restaurant has been in business for 25 years and serves lunch menus such as kaiseki sets and pasta during the day, and original skewers grilled over authentic binchotan charcoal in the evening.

It's a popular restaurant known by everyone in the area, and it can get very busy, especially on weekends, so it's best to make a reservation.

Upon entering, there is a large fish tank where freshly caught, seasonal live fish are procured every day. One of the restaurant's prides is that it serves dishes made with fresh seafood.

The dining area is a little dimly lit and has a stylish atmosphere. There are counter seats and

There are about 90 seats in total, including private rooms with sunken kotatsu tables, so it is also possible to hold banquets for large groups. It is always bustling.

Let's start with the lunch menu.

The restaurant offers a daily special "Omakase Kaiseki Gozen" (Ume: 1,100 yen, Take: 1,650 yen, Matsu: 2,200 yen) that uses fresh seafood and seasonal ingredients, as well as the "Specialty Seafood Bowl (with chawanmushi and miso soup)" (1,848 yen), "Fried Shrimp and Stewed Hamburger Set (with coffee)" (1,738 yen), and "Pasta Lunch Set" (1,518 yen).

We also recommend the limited-edition "Wagyu Sukiyaki Gozen" (2,200 yen). There are also a wide selection of sweets (from 495 yen) and drinks (from 308 yen).

Let me introduce the menu we had this time.

Chef's choice kaiseki meal [Take]

The most popular item on the lunch menu is the "Omakase Kaiseki Gozen [Take]" (1,650 yen).

A slightly luxurious lunch set that includes an assortment of small dishes, an assortment of sashimi, rice, miso soup, pickles, and coffee (hot or iced *can be changed to a soft drink). *The contents change daily.

First, we started with a small dish platter. On this day, it consisted of fried eggplant in ohitashi (simmered vegetable soup), fried white fish, chawanmushi (savory egg custard), sesame tofu, teriyaki chicken, and ohitashi (simmered spinach).

It's such a joy to be able to taste a little bit of each of the six side dishes that have been painstakingly made. This alone is enough to satisfy you.

Next comes a sashimi platter, rice, miso soup and pickles.

You can choose between white rice or multigrain rice, and this time I chose multigrain rice. The crunchy texture is irresistible. You can have seconds too!

The sashimi platter for this day included five types of fish: yellowtail, squid, salmon, sea bream, and tuna. Each fish was served in a small bowl, and it looked gorgeous and luxurious!

All of them were fresh, thick and satisfying, and incredibly delicious.

I think it's a great deal to get this for just 1,650 yen.

Pasta lunch set

The "Pasta Lunch Set" (1,518 yen) includes your choice of pasta, an appetizer, salad, baguette, and coffee (hot or iced *can also be changed to a soft drink).

You can choose from four types of pasta: "Pescatore", "Cream Sauce", "Bolognese", and "Mentaiko". The appetizer for this day was fried white fish.

For pasta, I chose the popular "cream sauce."

It's filled with salmon, asparagus, mushrooms and other ingredients, and the colorful dish is beautiful! The rich cream sauce with plenty of cheese goes well with the pasta, making it delicious.

I'm happy that the set even includes coffee after the meal.

The izakaya also has a great selection of dishes at night! The specialty is the "Kushiyaki" skewers grilled over authentic binchotan charcoal.

I also visited for dinner on another day.

The specialty of the evening izakaya menu is the "Kushiyaki" grilled over authentic binchotan charcoal, with over 40 varieties, including "Yakitori" (from 165 yen per skewer), "Vegetable skewers" (from 110 yen per skewer), and "Creative vegetable-wrapped skewers" (from 242 yen per skewer). "Kushiyaki" can be ordered in sets of two or more of each type.

Other than that, there are many other menu items such as "Sashimi Platter" (from 1,408 yen per person), "Salad" (from 825 yen), and "Fried Food" (from 638 yen).

Grilled Skewers

I ordered "Tonjiri" (165 yen per skewer), "Butabara" (253 yen per skewer), "Sunazuri" (165 yen per skewer), and "Seseri" (198 yen per skewer). *Orders must be made with at least two of each type.

The skewers slowly grilled over binchotan charcoal have a wonderful aroma ♡ They go great with alcohol.

Next up is "Plum and Shiso Chicken" (242 yen per stick), "Camembert Cheese Bacon Wrapped" (308 yen per stick), and "Kashiwa (Sauce)" (220 yen per stick). *Orders must be made with at least two sticks of each type.

The "Plum and Shiso Chicken" has a refreshing taste with plum paste and green shiso. The "Camembert Cheese Bacon Wrapped" goes well with the salty taste of cheese and bacon. The "Kashiwa (Sauce)" was addictive with its sweet and spicy sauce.

Lettuce and pork belly rolls

"Lettuce wrapped in pork belly" (308 yen per stick) *Orders must be 2 or more sticks

Image: momo

The crispy, fragrant, grilled pork belly is juicy ♡ The combination of pork belly and crunchy lettuce is so good you can eat as many as you want.

Soft-boiled egg wrapped in bacon

"Soft-boiled eggs wrapped in bacon" (253 yen per roll) is a soft-boiled quail egg wrapped in bacon. *Orders must be 2 or more.

The yolk is cooked just right and combined with the sauce, it has an exquisite flavor.

Tsukimi Tsukune

This is "Tsukimi Tsukune" (220 yen per piece). *Orders must be 2 or more pieces.

Dip the meatballs into the egg yolk that comes with it and take a bite. It goes perfectly together.

Assorted Sashimi [Top]

The most popular dish is the "Sashimi Platter (Top)" (1,580 yen per person) which uses seasonal seafood. Orders can be made for two or more people.

On this day, the platter featured six types of fish: yellowtail, sea bream, shrimp, squid, salmon, and tuna, and it looked beautiful.

All of them were fresh, firm and satisfying to eat.

Cod Milt with Ponzu Sauce

"Cod Milt with Ponzu Sauce" (980 yen) is cod milt, which is in season in winter, served with grated daikon radish and ponzu sauce. *Available only in winter. During the period, it may or may not be available depending on the stock situation.

It has no unpleasant smell and a very rich taste. The texture that melts in your mouth is irresistible.

Mentaiko rolled omelet

"Dashimaki Mentaiko Tamagoyaki" (935 yen) is a combination of dashi-flavored egg roll and Spicy Fish Eggs.

Dipping it in the Spicy Fish Eggs sauce provided will bring out Spicy Fish Eggs!

Hokkaido sea urchin rice

The perfect final dish is the "Hokkaido Sea Urchin Toromeshi" (880 yen).

Both the fresh sea urchin and tuna melted in the mouth, making this another luxurious dish.
