Go to the store you checked in advance✨
Looking for liver and mino😁
It's an old-fashioned diner✨
You can choose beer from Kirin, Asahi, and Sapporo 😊
Fried liver and mino✨
The thin batter makes the meat extremely soft, and the taste of the ingredients is as good as the special sweet and spicy sauce.
This might be the most delicious mino I've ever eaten 😋
suji ginger
Add soy sauce and mix well.
The tendons are extremely soft and gooey~The ginger is delicious and removes the greasiness✨
But ginger is not spicy at all 😋
Mino's parboiling
Put on the chojang and enjoy it 😋
This also really tastes like Mino's flavor😋
I copied what a regular customer ordered~
Yellow soba with sinew sauce!
This is also delicious 😋
I took Mino's fries home 😊
Thank you for the meal~ I will definitely be repeating it ✨
I found a good shop ㊗️

An old-fashioned restaurant. Noodles, rice bowls, oden, and fried foods are all available. A cheap shop with friendly staff. I had the liver and fried mino, which are well-known in the reviews, and they are exquisite. The Chinese noodles are also delicious with a light, nostalgic flavor.
