I felt like having a craft beer by myself, so I visited again for the first time in 2 years. They have a lot of taps, and there is also a good selection of craft gin, so I think it works for a wide range of needs. The staff are friendly too, so you can chat with them and ask for recommendations while you drink. If you want craft beer in Gifu, this is the only choice.

The counter is long, so this is a bar where even a group of four can visit without any problem. It is a quiet bar, so you can take your time and enjoy your drinks. There were no other customers on this day, so I was able to relax even more while enjoying my drinks. The chairs are also comfortable, which is nice because you do not get tired from sitting.

"Orange wine" is made by fermenting white grape juice together with the skins and seeds. Rather than being rich and crisp, it has a full-bodied taste with a solid sense of weight.

The master was running the place by himself, but he worked incredibly smoothly, so it never really felt like a long wait, and the restaurant was very comfortable. Everything I ordered was delicious‼️It really suited me as someone who likes alcohol. The atmosphere is geared toward younger people, but I think anyone would like it if they enjoy a casual vibe. I’ll definitely be coming back(*^ω^*)

Yakigaki (grilled oysters) from Uramura are nice and large, and delicious! The ankou (monkfish), satoimo (taro), and horenso (spinach) gratin is also packed with ingredients and has a gentle seasoning that tastes so good! They also have lots of recommended natural wines that are great! And when you come here, you just end up drinking Juyondai after all (´ｍ｀)

I do not know that much about it, but their choice of Japanese sake seems interesting. As for snacks, the shuto cream cheese goes well with Japanese sake and tastes great.
