There are many izakayas, but izakayas that are open until morning are rare, aren't they?
There is such an izakaya in Kurashiki.
The name of that izakaya is literally "Asamade-ya".
The new store of Asamade-ya, "Asamade-ya Terrace 102", has relocated and opened in Mizushima, so I went to visit.
Asamade-ya Terrace 102 offers three things: "Time", "Space", and "Conversation".
In this article, I will introduce the charm of "Asamade-ya Terrace 102".
What is Asamade-ya Terrace 102?
Asamade-ya Terrace 102 is located about a 7-minute walk from Mizushima Rinkai Railway Sakae Station.
In fact, the first store, the Tsurajima branch, closed on June 25, 2023, and reopened in Mizushima on June 30.
Unlike the previous store, which had a food stall atmosphere, the interior is like a café.
The clientele varied from solo diners to families.
There are also terrace seats outside, creating an open atmosphere.
On the other hand, the walls provide privacy.
Terrace seats for conversation
It seems that BBQ can be done in groups at the terrace seats outside.
The windows in the store open fully, allowing free movement between the interior and the terrace seats.
According to Mr. Fujii, the president of the company "Yugen Kaisha Shin-uta" that operates "Asamade-ya", he thought that BBQ at hotels is no different from grilled meat.
The ability to move freely between seats creates conversation, which Mr. Fujii believes is the true essence of BBQ.
▼ Although hidden in a plastic bag, a BBQ grill was prepared.
It seems that customers will grill the meat themselves for the BBQ.
As for dishes other than meat, it was mentioned that a variety of side dishes will be available in a buffet style inside the store.
A variety of rich menu items
Looking at the menu, there is a rich selection of drinks, snacks, and rice dishes, and I was surprised by the variety of menu items.
Among the menu items, there was a soup curry, which is rare for an izakaya.
This soup curry is the same as the one served at "Achi Terrace 102 Soup Curry Dining".
Authentic soup curry and Kansai-style okonomiyaki
I had the soup curry.
As it is the same as what is served at the soup curry shop, it is authentic.
When I drank the soup, rich spices spread in my mouth.
The vegetables were both deep-fried and stir-fried, each ingredient was utilized well, and it was delicious.
The chicken in the soup was cooked slowly, making it so tender that it can be easily shredded with a spoon.
It seems that this soup curry was devised by Mr. Fujii, the president.
▼ In addition to the soup curry, I also had okonomiyaki (pork).
This okonomiyaki was Kansai-style, but it was not powdery at all and easy to eat.
It seems that the recipe has been adjusted to avoid being powdery.
The vegetables in the okonomiyaki had a crunchy texture and were delicious.
This makes you want to have some alcohol.
Asamade-ya Terrace 102 has a different atmosphere from the previous Asamade-ya store.
It can be enjoyed by various people, including men, women, and families.
I spoke with Fujii Seiji, the representative director of "Yugen Kaisha Shin-uta", which operates Asamade-ya Terrace 102.
