唐揚げ&酒場 いずから — Restaurant in Ito

We were looking for home cooking in a mom and Pop restaurant – we found it in Izukara restaurant!! it is tucked away in a corner near other restaurants, there was a lot of parking. we went with their udon suki nabe, from their written menu that is an order for 2 people minimum(what price per person). it is cooked as a hot pot in front of you. You definitely definitely need to order the fried chicken wings, which were so crunchy and delicious, we had to order wings to take back to the hotel! It’s perfect to order the wings so you can eat that while the hot pot starts cooking. The udon noodles were silky and delicious, and the broth was savory enough to just drink on its own, which we did. The husband and wife who run the place were so sweet and personable. The only thing that made it more perfect was getting baked goods from the store next-door!😁 great price, delicious food! 2 orders of four piece, chicken wings, two draft beers, and a shared hot pot came to $30...

我在2024年9月14日跟我的朋友在這餐廳吃了晚飯。 除了一般要支付的10%消費稅，店家還會向外國人顧客收20%的服務費。不知道日本國內人是否需要付，我覺得20%有點多，因為服務很不貼心，沒有店員會幫助你，下單還是要我們自己手寫到memo紙，沒日文以外的menu。

說實話，炸雞的品質真的不錯，外面很脆同時雞肉保有肉汁。

體驗最差的部分是結帳時完全沒有一張帳單列出你點過甚麼食物，只有店主手寫的一個價錢在memo紙上。感覺就是他說要付多少就是多少，不會算錯。當我問他要帳單時，他就拿出店家的手寫帳簿，沒有寫品項，只是8200日元。

我覺得收費沒可能是整數，所以我走前拍下了menu，回民宿後再計算一次。結果發現只是應付79xx 日元(已包括10%消費稅和20%服務費)，店家多收我們約200日元，不是很多的錢，但感覺就是店家不喜歡外國人。

On September 14, 2024, I had dinner at this restaurant with my friend.

In addition to the usual 10% consumption tax, the restaurant charges foreign customers a 20% service fee. I'm not sure if domestic customers have to pay this, but I think 20% is a bit much, especially since the service was not attentive; no staff helped us, and we had to write down our orders on memo paper ourselves and then hand in to the owner. There was no menu available in any language other than Japanese.

To be honest, the quality of the fried chicken was really good; it was crispy on the outside while the chicken remained juicy inside.

The worst part of the experience was when it came time to pay. There was no bill listing the items we ordered — only a handwritten price on a memo paper from the owner. It felt like he decided how much we had to pay without any calculations. When I asked for a bill, he just showed me the handwritten ledger, which had no itemization, only the amount of 8,200 yen.

I felt that the charge couldn't possibly be a round number, so I took pictures of the menu before leaving, and calculated again after returning to my accommodation. I found out that we should have only paid around 7,900 yen (including 10% tax and 20% service charge), meaning they overcharged us by about 200 yen. It’s not a lot of money, but it felt like the restaurant didn’t like...

This lovely food joint was run by a friendly couple. Food was cooked freshly upon orders. While waiting for our food, streams of locals came in and ordered takeaway.

Love love love the kaarage and pot of stew. Warmed our stomachs and heart by their...
