Another night out with a colleague from work in early October and I deliberately chose a restaurant near the office that I had never gone to just to try out something new.
I liked the concept of the restaurant: “free range chicken and bubbles”. The Japanese eat lots of chicken and you can easily go to “chicken-themed” restaurants in different forms but I don’t think anyone else has come up with the concept of serving bubbly with chicken dishes, two things I really like, so I was very curious.
It’s a tiny place with only a counter with maybe a dozen seats and a very friendly vibe.
Our destination is on the 3rd floor. The basement restaurant serving curry – another Japanese favorite – is managed by the same people.
The name of the restaurant which doesn’t sound right in English is a play on words with “Ours” being close to “awa” in sound meaning “bubbles” in Japanese. Not sure why they wanted to use the extra “s”.
