I'm not always traveling, just to clarify w, so it's time for a rare Tokyo work meal. I finally visited "Mimoza," a place I've been curious about for a while. The appearance alone is intriguing w, plus they are only open for lunch on weekdays, not even on weekends! (I actually saw them at a certain stadium in the Tokyo area with a catering truck, though w) It's a mysterious place, but I managed to visit during their open hours! So, I decided to try the Nagasaki Medai sautéed in Américaine sauce with pumpkin soup, salad, and a drink! First, the salad. Well, it's just okay, nothing special. The vegetables seemed fresh, so that's good. Next, the pumpkin soup. This was quite delicious. Creamy and flavorful! It was cold soup, which was refreshing considering how hot it was outside, and it was surprisingly tasty. The sweetness of the pumpkin was pleasant. The bread was cornbread, nicely warmed and with a subtle corn aroma. It was so good that I would come back just for the bread alone! This made me look forward to the main dish! It was a sizable fillet, very satisfying! The Mediterranean-style vegetable stew as a side was also quite good! The Américaine sauce was well-seasoned, and the fish was nicely crispy on the outside. However, the slight dryness of the fish was a bit disappointing. Perhaps choosing a fattier fish would have been tastier. Nevertheless, considering the price, it was acceptable. I ended with an iced coffee before heading back to the scorching battlefield! If they improve the quality of the ingredients a bit, it would be worth paying a little more! Overall, it's a 3.5-star rating!

Walking down a street in Shirokanetakanawa where residential homes and small factories mix, there is a small shop with vibrant colors that seem to shine under the summer sun. Although there is no sea nearby, the entrance has a menu board that gives off a beach-like vibe from being touched by the ocean breeze during the summer. Upon entering, the narrow interior of the shop surprisingly creates a sense of familiarity. The light coming in from the window reflects inside, creating a mysterious color palette. Lunch is typically a set menu, where you can choose from soup, bread, rice, and a drink. The bread, in particular (probably homemade), is warm and soft, as if it has absorbed plenty of sunlight, making it very delicious.

Before, it was a bento shop? I didn't notice at all. One day, it suddenly opened. It's a Mediterranean cafe restaurant. It's very small, but the inside is clean. It's the kind of place that girls would like. There are only three tables and the rest is counter seating. It's a tiny shop but definitely has a Mediterranean vibe. Especially the walls! However, if the staff were a little more friendly, it would be even better. Maybe it's because it used to be a bento shop? But they're not unfriendly at all. If they just had a bit more smiles, it would be great! That's the feeling.

FOODNEKO review: The Special Lunch Box for 900 yen is a plate packed with rotisserie chicken, roast beef, and plenty of vegetables and side dishes. It's definitely worth the price at 900 yen. The chicken is perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of spices, showing the skills of the chef. The roast beef is thickly sliced yet tender and juicy, very delicious. I was so satisfied that I want to try other menu items as well. Follow me on Instagram and Tabelog for more food reviews. I am exploring Hamamatsucho, Tamachi, and the southern part of the Yamanote Line, as well as sharing gourmet experiences from all over Japan.

Half chicken for takeout costs 800 yen. It has a curry flavor and the meat is cooked tenderly, making it delicious. The half size refers to the portion being half of a whole chicken, so it's quite filling. The price is reasonable and offers good value for money. Thank you for the meal!

I used delivery service. The chicken was moist and easy to remove from the bone, very delicious. It had a good portion size and was great value for money.

It's not usually talked about in reviews, but yesterday and today, there is a timely topic that you can still enjoy - the summer festival at the Shirokane Yon no Hashi shopping street. They have brought in a machine to make a large roast chicken and are participating in the festival, although they don't seem to be open for regular business (I've never seen the shop open while passing by on walks). It's a great opportunity to try delicious paella cooked with a giant pan and roast chicken. I hope you can try it at the festival. It would be great if they could open the shop with the momentum from the festival. The chicken is very juicy, and the fat and umami that drips down are added to the paella broth, so it's impossible for it not to be delicious. It's amazing that you can eat food of this level at a festival booth.
