Kumamoto City’s Shimotori Shopping Arcade boasts a new eye-catching sign that’s been drawing attention of late.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Many people are probably curious about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>In these times of price hikes, an all-you-can-eat and drink spot for just \u00a52,500 is quite a find.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>We had to check it out!<\/span><\/p>\n

Smartphone Required!<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The place is located on the second floor of the Kashiwada Building. Stairs can be tricky, especially after a few drinks, so be careful on the way out!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Upon arrival, inform the staff of your party size and listen carefully to their instructions:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2460<\/strong>The dining period is 2 hours, with last orders 30 minutes prior (one hour for “nabe” (hot-pot style) dishes).<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2461<\/strong>\u00a0<\/b>You can order up to two items per person at a time. If you want more, complete your initial order then order again.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2462<\/strong>You’re allowed one drink per order.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2463<\/strong>There will be no announcement for last orders.<\/b><\/p>\n

These rules ensure smooth and quick service for all patrons, so cooperation is appreciated.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Additionally, all orders must be placed via mobile; at least one person in the group needs a smartphone.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Payment is cash only, settled on your way out.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After the briefing, you’ll be guided to your seats.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You’re given a slip with a QR code printed when you enter the restaurant.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Begin by scanning it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The guidelines will be displayed once more on your screen, and then you can start ordering by tapping \u2018Start Order\u2019 on your screen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cheeeeeeeeers!!!<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Everything on the menu is included in the all you can eat and drink course!<\/b><\/p>\n

Although you place orders on your smartphone, there is a copy of the menu on the table, so you can discuss with your table what looks good before place your orders.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0Guys, what looks good to you?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Order everything that’s marked as “recommended”!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You order like a mukbanger!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wait a second\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What are you doing?!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0Why are you drinking before we all toast?<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0Because it was right in front of me!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0That\u2019s right! I ended up forgetting to take a picture, but there were already ice-cold glasses set up on the table\u2014no need to wait for an official toast.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is awesome!!!<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0Sapporo Black Label Beer, Ume Sour, Jasmine Tea and Salty Lychee Soda<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0Despite Ito’s early start on drinking, we decided to have a proper cheers! <\/span>Kampai!!!<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>In most <\/span>izakayas<\/span><\/i>, it can take time for your orders to be served when they\u2019re crowded, but “Osusume-ya” is known for its quick service.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0As soon as you toast, the orders start arriving quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Starting with the <\/span>motsu nabe<\/span><\/i> hot pot that pairs incredibly well with beer\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Each dish was brough to the table with much fanfare.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Before we knew it, the table was completely covered by dishes.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, we are the Higo Journal team.<\/span><\/p>\n

It seems that eating more and faster than others has become an occupational hazard for us, so…<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

we kept ordering more…<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

and more…<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0drinking,<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

eating,<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u00a0and drinking again.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We enjoyed the dessert and suddenly found ourselves at the last order time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Time goes by way too fast!!!!<\/b><\/p>\n

Everyone felt the same way, and then we discovered that\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2026you can extend your time!!!!<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0For just 800 yen for an additional hour!!!<\/b><\/p>\n

This is a really convenient system for when the fun is just getting started.<\/span><\/p>\n

Value Breakdown<\/b><\/h2>\n

“Osusume-ya” offers an incredible all-you-can-eat and drink deal for 2,500 yen, covering everything on the menu!<\/span><\/p>\n

But what is particularly interesting is the <\/span>pricing of the individual items<\/b> listed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0I decided to calculate how much value we got in those 2 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

Drumroll, please\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2026and the result is\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a021,720 yen (just for food items)<\/span><\/p>\n

There were the five of us, so if we divide the total, it comes to 4,344 yen per person.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since each person paid 2,500 yen for the course, that\u2019s a gain of 1,844 yer per person!<\/b><\/p>\n

This place might just be the best value you can find.<\/span><\/p>\n

Perfect for After Parties, too!<\/b><\/h2>\n

The clear pricing makes Osusume-ya an easy choice for gatherings with friends.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>When looking for a budget-friendly option in the city, consider making this your go-to spot.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
