This eatery serves exclusively pheasant dishes. I thought they use a special breed of chicken. It turns out to be pheasant. The pheasant meat is very lean yet not tough. The food is value for money. Do try the bbq meat. It's quite an experience.

Went there 14Oct19... very delicious and satisfying lunch. Minimal English spoken but the menu with pictures is helpful. Friendly staff with cheerful service. A must go... back to good old rural lifestyle.
Homey atmosphere. Rear food in hokkaido! Must come, if you want to try pheasant!
Pheasant or kiji is said to be a specialty of Iwamizawa. Indeed, driving along Highway 12 towards Iwamizawa there are the remnants of an old pheasant restaurant. The beautiful sign and wa-style restaurant are still there, but it hasn’t operated for at least a decade. A couple years back, I went in search of a restaurant serving pheasant and was recommended to one on the edge of the city. It’s a restaurant that I now try to visit annually. And for those willing to make the effort, or those with a taste for more traditional game, it is definitely worth the trip. At the northern end of the city, heading east toward Mikasa, is the Kijimarukun restaurant. Serving locally-raised pheasant, one can dine on pheasant yakiniku, pheasant ramen, or their most popular item, the kiji katsu. The restaurant is not overly fancy. It is a typical shokudo-style place that one might find anywhere in the countryside. What makes this restaurant special however, and the reason I choose to make the long trip each year, is that the restaurant sits on the site of a local social welfare service and is operated by the residents of the facility. This makes it a doubly good experience, because everything you spend at Kijimarukun goes to directly support the residents. In addition to the restaurant section, there is also a small area where one can buy pheasant products to take home or as omiyage. Among the delicacies are smoked pheasant, pheasant sausage, and pheasant yakitori. There are also gift boxes available and the meat to be sent anywhere in the country. The next time you are near Iwamizawa, give Kijimarukun a try. You’ll get a good meal, and will help others in the process. Kijimarukun is open daily (except Wednesdays) from 11 am- 4 pm.
前から気になっていたお店です。札幌から旭川に向かう途中に立ち寄りました。 きじづくし（炭火焼き）・きじめし・きじしおラーメン・期間限定のひとりきじ鍋を頼みました。 きじは鶏肉よりも歯応えがあり、味も濃く感じました。鶏肉よりも値は張りますが、一度食べてみる価値はあると思います。 岩見沢では、きじ肉を食べたり買ったりできるのはここだけだそうです。
