Very good atmosphere and the food and price is good.

My first visit to Akabane, to enjoy salmon dishes. タマサン 赤羽店 is a casual izakaya with private rooms, especially recommended for its fresh salmon dishes. Waiting for me was thick, plump salmon, rather than the usual thin salt-grilled piece‼️ Here's what I had this time. ◆サーモンの包み焼き◆ One of the restaurant's signature dishes. The aroma when you open the parcel is wonderful❣️ Gently seasoned with white wine and butter. Steaming makes the flesh plump and seals in the umami. A must for salmon lovers. ◆自家製ローストビーフ◆ The moist, tender lean meat is truly soft. Some places occasionally serve tough, sinewy meat, but I really recommend this one. The simply served onion accompaniment has also had its bitterness properly removed. Wrapped in the meat with olive oil, salt, and pepper, its crisp texture adds to the experience, and this is another must-try, just like the salmon dishes‼️ ◆海老とブロッコリーのクリームパスタ◆ You could call it a cream pasta classic, but it's packed with plump shrimp, which alone makes it very satisfying. They say the pasta isn't fresh, but it has such a wonderfully chewy texture, just how I like it, and the salt level is right. With the broccoli's texture too, everything in this pasta is well balanced. I really felt that the seasoning and degree of cooking suited my palate perfectly. It made me want to try their other dishes too. The salmon dishes are especially recommended, with other options including rare steak, herb-breadcrumb-fried salmon, and tartare with avocado. Ah, I wanted to try them all. Next time‼️ The restaurant has a stylish space with exposed concrete.

A bar near the station in a 3-story building. The course with all-you-can-drink is available for 3 hours and is inexpensive. However, the drinks and food are casual, so it felt a little lacking if you're looking for flavor in your food and drinks. If you want a lively time with younger friends and prefer trying various dishes at a low price, even with modest portions, I can recommend this place. For savoring the food and drinks and enjoying the atmosphere, I felt something was missing. Even so, it's convenient and in a good location. I hope it becomes a place people choose from among the many options.

It’s on the third floor of a building in the Ichibangai area, on the way to 丸健水産. Stylish neo-izakayas that retain the atmosphere of old-fashioned neighborhood izakayas have been popping up lately, and one has finally arrived in Akabane. The shop’s neon bear sign really stands out. Here’s what we ordered this time. ・ネオン管サワー 550円 A staff member recommended this as an Instagram-worthy sour. Since I live solely for Instagram-worthy things, I of course ordered it, as always. It contains colorful, wiggly jelly, and the sweet jelly goes well with the unsweetened sour. It looks good and tastes good too. ・こぼびー 700円 It’s called こぼびー because the roast beef is overflowing. You mix the generous serving of roast beef, more than half of which spills off the plate, with a rich egg yolk before eating. The sauce on the roast beef is also delicious and really gets the beer flowing. ・神泡プレモル 380円 Despite the stylish setting, the beer is relatively cheap at 380円. ・Table appetizer The table appetizer was a light salad. ・藁焼きカツオの塩タタキ 680円 This was another staff recommendation. It’s bonito tataki with a lovely straw-smoked aroma, topped with plenty of garnishes including onion, myoga ginger, green onion, and garlic. You can enjoy it with yuzu, soy sauce or ponzu from the table, or different combinations of garnishes. It’s a drinking snack you can enjoy in all sorts of ways. ・しょっぱい梅サワー 350円 It had been a while since I’d had an umeboshi sour. It contained a fairly large umeboshi. During the current state of emergency, they seem to have changed part of the menu and are operating without alcohol. Alcoholic drinks such as lemon sours and highballs start at 280円, and there are plenty of snacks priced from 250円 to 300円. I think it’s an affordable yet stylish izakaya, the kind of place Akabane hasn’t had before. If you’re looking for somewhere in Akabane, definitely give it a try.

About a 3-minute walk from Akabane Station This place is in Akabane’s lively neighborhood izakaya district When you walk in, the glowing neon bear is so cute! It has the neo-izakaya style that’s trendy right now Their signature bear drink has a giant bear sitting on top of a milky cocktail—so Instagram-worthy…! The bear is ice cream, so you can enjoy eating it too! ●プチまんがにく Bone-in meat at 250円 per piece with a bear flag sticking out Freshly fried, juicy, and delicious! ●藁焼き鰹のタタキ Served with yuzu vinegar or Naoshichi ponzu Each slice is huge! ●肉豆腐 A must-have dish at a neighborhood drinking spot Jiggly, fatty pork paired with Hoppy is a winning combination I thought it might just be a place with a trendy interior and lots of photogenic drinks, but the food menu was extensive and surprisingly authentic! There was even a booklet explaining how to eat the bonito tataki With plenty of counter seating, it was a neighborhood drinking spot where you could also enjoy drinking solo
