I owe them an update. Since last winter, I have been going to Muramoto often with one of their most regular customers and their service was great every time. Once I figured out what I liked and explored more of the cooked items on the menu, it was really a pleasure to eat here. There is usually a wait around dinner time every night but it's nice that they have a whole bar section where you can start with a nice sapporo draft with some takowasa! ;)
