I like picking my own sides from the display case. The simmered mackerel today was just right&mdash;tender, not too salty. Felt like a home-cooked meal. The grilled salmon was a bit dry though.

The staff were super nice and patient. They gave us an English menu and explained the Atka mackerel options in detail. It was my first time trying it, so that really helped me decide.

A bit off the beaten path, but that&#39;s the appeal. Found it while looking for a quick, real izakaya lunch. Had the Hakodate kaisen don. Fish was fresh, service was fast. Perfect for a quiet, efficient meal.

The squid popo was incredible, honestly the best I&#39;ve ever had. The whole vibe in there is so relaxed, with these warm wooden tables and soft lighting. I&#39;d come back to Hakodate just for that dish and to hang out in that space again.

The tonkotsu ramen broth was rich and cloudy, just right. Noodles had a good chew. The chashu was tender but a bit lean for my taste. That&#39;s the main thing I remember.

The salt ramen broth was clear and light, perfect for late night. The noodles had a nice springy bite. I enjoyed it with a cold beer, which cut through the richness nicely. A solid weekend option.

The burgers here are pretty good. They&#39;re quite substantial, especially for the price. My patty was cooked just fine. The place was a bit loud inside, but overall a decent meal.

The grilled crab shell was really good. The dining room has a nice, warm vibe that makes it a comfortable place to eat.

The set meals are a solid choice. I like that the miso soup and cabbage are refillable &mdash; it&#39;s a nice, traditional touch. The sake selection is decent, and a chilled glass pairs well with the grilled flavors. Makes for a relaxed, filling meal.

The staff here are really friendly and attentive. They keep the popular food stations moving smoothly so you don&#39;t feel crowded while getting your plate. Makes for a relaxed meal.

Friendly staff, and they were great with our little one. The English menu and tablet ordering made it easy. Quick service too. I had a nice glass of red with my meal, it was a good pairing.

The macarons were a nice surprise. I liked the local twist on a classic. The seats were comfortable, which made it easy to relax and enjoy my coffee and dessert. A very pleasant, low-key spot.

The parking lot is small, so arriving by car was a bit of a hassle. But once inside, the atmosphere is so chic and relaxing. I had the handmade hamburger steak from the lunch menu &ndash; it was very comforting. A nice spot for a quiet, unhurried meal.

A small, cozy spot with just 9 seats. The salmon sashimi was sweet and fresh, really nice. The miso soup was a good addition. A bit tight on space, but a fine little place for a quick, quiet meal.
