I happened to have a rare solo lunch in Tachikawa, so I wandered around and ended up choosing a place on a whim. Since it was hot, I was thinking maybe ramen would be too heavy, so it was just right. I had the 7 kinds of seafood dish. At first, I thought there wasn't much filling, but there was plenty of tuna sashimi and it was delicious. Personally, I thought even a little bit of soy sauce was enough. I wish it came with miso soup for about 990 yen, but it seems miso soup is only included in today's lunch special.

On this day, the leader of the B-grade gourmet club among my followers posted a review of a beautifully crafted tuna bowl that was as lovely as flower petals, and my mind was completely filled with thoughts of tuna from the morning. Despite a change in my afternoon schedule leaving me with no time for lunch, I usually just pass by this place without much thought, but today I decided to visit this place. As soon as I entered, I was greeted with a cheerful and loud "Welcome!" The interior of the restaurant is bright, decorated to resemble a fish market. It's a small shop with 15 seats at the counter, and the staff on the other side are bustling around. Although there was a lunch menu displayed outside, as I looked through the menu, I found a bowl with my favorite eel, grated yam, and today's main ingredient, tuna. I quickly ordered the eel, grated yam, and tuna bowl for 620 yen (tax included). It was served in about 5 minutes, and upon a quick glance at the menu, I noticed that the toppings were slightly larger than in the photo. In the center, my favorite negitoro was set like small flower petals. I started by trying the negitoro, and it was delicious when combined with the vinegared rice. The eel sauce was not too sweet, and the portion was just right. The grated yam and tuna together were also very tasty. After about 10 minutes, I finished my meal, and finally, the thoughts of tuna that had been stuck in my head drifted away. I am now preparing for my afternoon plans. Thank you for the meal.

I had visited this place a long time ago and had a good impression of it in terms of cost performance. I had imagined something like a sushi bowl version instead of the usual beef bowl at Yoshinoya. However, when I looked at the menu on the signboard, it didn't quite match my expectation. But I didn't feel like looking for another place from here, so I reluctantly decided to dine here. What I ordered: - Tuna Poke Bowl (780 yen) *without mayonnaise The service was just warm tea. Inside the restaurant, there were flies buzzing around, which was a bit unpleasant. As for the food, the freshness was not really felt. The tuna was okay, but the avocado was a bit... For 780 yen, the cost performance is not that great. I wonder what my impression of this place was based on in the past... While the speed of service was indeed good, considering the price and quality, I think "Gyoshin" in Hiyoshi Station, Kanagawa Prefecture, is better. Thank you for the meal. ★

Tachikawa Takashimaya is located across the road from this restaurant, which opened its doors exactly a month ago. I went there with the intention of trying a seafood bowl filled with various types of fish slices, but at the time of my visit, they had a seasonal menu featuring saury bowl. It seems that saury was not caught much this year. I haven't had any Pacific saury yet this year. So, I ended up ordering it. The Hokkaido saury bowl costs ¥750 (excluding tax) and I also had a seaweed miso soup for ¥73 (excluding tax). The rice portion can be customized from small to large without changing the price. I chose a small portion. The presentation may have been a bit too generous with the green onions, but considering the price, it was fine! I was able to enjoy fresh saury sashimi. The rice was vinegared rice with a moderate level of vinegar. It was just right. The seaweed miso soup was as expected. It was a good meal at this price point. If this restaurant is nearby, I might visit it occasionally. I went there on a weekday evening around 7 pm, and the customers were diverse, including office workers, students, a young couple (perhaps going to a movie), and elderly couples. The restaurant was clean, and the service was good. It's a casual place to dine. I initially thought it was a ticket system based on the appearance of the restaurant, but it was actually a pay-after system. In summary, the cost performance is good, I would consider going back if it's nearby, and they put too much green onions.

On a day off with my wife, we went to Cinema Two in Tachikawa to watch a movie. We planned to make it in time for the afternoon showing, but shopping took longer than expected. So, we decided to buy sandwiches or rice balls from the nearest convenience store on the way to the movie theater. We came across a shop called "Maguro Ichiba" on the way, and decided to check it out as it seemed like a place where we could eat in about 20 minutes. For breakfast, we had Keenyon's bread, so we both ordered the signature "Bakudan Don" for 580 yen each. The restaurant was almost full, but we got our bowls in about 10 minutes and started eating. The Bakudan Don contained chopped seaweed, squid, negitoro (minced tuna with green onion), okra, pickled daikon radish, green onion, onsen tamago (soft-boiled egg), and natto. Both my wife and I love Bakudan Don, and sometimes we have it at home without rice. We mixed it with the provided spoon, without using disposable chopsticks, and added the soy sauce broth halfway through mixing. When the natto was nicely mixed, it was time to eat. Let's dig in! The Bakudan Don with light vinegar rice, although visually unappealing once mixed, tasted like a decent B-class gourmet bowl. We were both satisfied and finished in less than 10 minutes. We made it to the movie on time with plenty of time to spare. The movie we watched that day was Aladdin, a Disney movie. I didn't have high expectations, but musical movies are always enjoyable! Watching it with top-notch sound was amazing. The lead actress, Naomi Scott, singing the new song "Speechless" was really good - it was similar to the songs in The Greatest Showman, but it was overwhelming. Don't underestimate Bakudan Don or Aladdin!

I used it for dinner (^o^) Today's mood is seafood bowl! I was out and about, walking around the city, and stumbled upon it (lol) It's right near the north exit of the station, so the access is perfect (lol) I was really hungry, so I immediately stormed into the restaurant and ordered an eel, toro tuna, and grated yam bowl with a side of small soba. The restaurant only has counter seats! On top of the rice, there was grated yam in the middle, topped with tuna, eel, and toro. The rice was soft, making it easy to scoop and eat ( ^ω^ ) Hmm, it was quite satisfying to eat quickly and feel full! It was a pretty good dinner ( ^ω^ ) Thank you for the meal (^人^)

This is my first visit, but everything is so cheap here. It's great that you can get a seafood bowl starting from 580 yen. And the fact that you can get a free extra serving of rice is also a nice bonus. Today, I had the salmon and ikura (salmon roe) bowl for 680 yen and a miso soup with seaweed for 80 yen. I actually didn't think too much about what "harako" meant, so when I saw the salmon and ikura, I thought there wasn't much of them. But since it's a "harako bowl", it makes sense. And for 680 yen, it's a good deal. However, the actual dish looks a bit different from the menu photo...

Today, I had some errands in Tachikawa in the morning, so I stopped by for brunch. The location is about a 3-4 minute walk north from JR Tachikawa Station. This area is lined with stores like Isetan and Takashimaya. There is a small step at the entrance. Upon entering, the staff greeted me and told me to choose any seat I liked. Orders were taken at the counter. The seating is only at the counter, and surprisingly, the place has some depth to it. I placed my order after being seated. The menu is filled with seafood rice bowl options. Their specialty, the maguro bowl, is priced at 880 yen. Even the most expensive seafood bowl is under 1500 yen. They also offer free extra rice for the bowls, which is a nice touch. They have sets with soba, small dishes, and miso soup for around 1000 yen, which is quite satisfying. The staff were pleasant, and I highly recommend this place. - Taste Evaluation - Original Bakudan Don (580 yen) A bowl with negitoro, squid, natto, pickled daikon, okra, and soft-boiled egg. It's delicious when mixed with wasabi soy sauce. The seafood is good, and the rice is tasty! Overall, even the regular portion had a good amount of food. The staff's attitude and the cleanliness of the place were all good. I'll definitely come back next time to try the maguro bowl.

I found this while organizing photos. Seafood bowl at Yasan. I'm not a big fan of meat, so I can avoid arguments with my husband if it's fish. It was winter, so sushi can get a bit cold. I should have ordered a soup too. It's great to have a restaurant where you can easily go alone.

Shanghai Fresh Donburi is not a major chain for Gyudon, but it is fast, cheap, and delicious. I had a great lunch with good value for money.

On a regular night, I was walking on the north side of Tachikawa station and came across this restaurant, so I decided to stop by. This is a dine-in restaurant, not a takeout specialist. I sat at the counter and ordered the affordable "seafood chirashi bowl". I chose a small portion of rice as I was planning to eat lightly. The cold tea was delicious. The staff were cheerful and polite, which was nice. After a short wait, it arrived. The rice was tasty. It wasn't vinegared rice, but it had a slightly vinegary taste due to the sweet vinegar ginger that came with it. The bowl had small pieces of tuna, salmon, and simmered conger eel. I added a little soy sauce and enjoyed it. The amount of fish was a bit small due to the low price, but it was not a problem. The sweet and finely shredded egg was good. There was also a little bit of fatty tuna with green onion, which was tasty. Even just the rice and wasabi were delicious. I rediscovered the goodness of eating rice. The total with tax was 709 yen.

I used it in the evening. I had a moon-viewing bowl with medium fatty tuna and red seaweed. The red seaweed had a texture similar to okra or mozuku.

Negitoro bowl for 580 yen

- Seafood bowl (regular) ¥780 tax included * Free extra rice JR Chuo Line, about a 5-minute walk from Tachikawa Station North Exit, there is a chain restaurant that serves rice bowls. There are not as many as gyudon (beef bowl) restaurants, but I feel like I see them quite often, am I the only one? Since it's not a big market, there aren't that many rival stores. It's not like they are in competition with gyudon restaurants. By the way, this restaurant is under the umbrella of the Jiro Restaurant group's Japanese food brand. They seem to have the know-how of running various types of dining establishments, so it feels safe. As for the menu, of course, it's called "Maguro Ichiba" (tuna market), so the tuna bowl looks like a good deal, but I couldn't help feeling a bit lonely with just tuna, so I decided to have the seafood bowl. [Seafood Bowl] Just like the gyudon bowl from gyudon restaurants, it looks deep, and there is enough rice, but on the other hand, even if the sushi toppings are small, they look luxurious when lined up. There is also pickled ginger, and the green color of shiso adds a nice touch, but the amount of toppings feels a bit lacking. You can have extra rice to fill your stomach, but I didn't feel that the cost performance was good. Also, because it is a solid dining company, the ingredients are neatly arranged without waste, but if that's the case, the difference from supermarket sashimi isn't felt, and then I start to think that the price could be more reasonable. In other words, I felt a bit unsatisfied in terms of taste, quantity, price, etc. Especially since I have been eating seafood bowls in various places recently. When I go to these chain restaurants, I tend to be overly concerned about the cost and whether it's cost-effective, and I end up feeling a bit tired. It's totally my own fault, due to my personality. In any case, I ended up feeling tired after eating. Thank you for the meal.

After a long time off work, I went out in the evening. I finished up my errands and decided to wander around the area near Tachikawa Station North Exit. Feeling hungry, I remembered a seafood bowl restaurant that I had always been curious about. Today, I made up my mind to finally eat a seafood bowl and headed to Maguro Ichiba! Inside, there were several counter seats, and when I looked at the menu, I saw that there were quite a few options! After some hesitation, I decided to order the "Seafood Arare Hittsumabushi" from a separate sheet. The dish arrived in about 5 minutes, and I got excited to eat a seafood bowl after a long time. At first, I tried it with regular soy sauce, then switched to hittsumabushi halfway through. Both ways of eating were delicious! This season's hittsumabushi is really good! It warmed me up! Satisfied with my meal, I decided to treat my body to a massage next. Both my mind and body are satisfied and happy!

[Gold Godzilla steamed bun tasting] I tried the steamed bun I purchased at Kagoshima Yamagata-ya the other day. As a die-hard Godzilla fan, I was very excited even before opening it. This time, it was the "Godzilla" version, with Godzilla and Sakurajima on the package. When I opened it, there was a round card inside, which was a pleasant surprise. The steamed bun had a Godzilla seal on it. The familiar Gold steamed bun suddenly looked radiant. The taste of this steamed bun has remained the same over the years, which is comforting. I paired it with iced coffee this time, but it's also perfect as a tea snack, making it a great little gift. Highly recommended. This steamed bun is well worth the 1000 yen with all the effort put into the copyright and seal. If you give this limited edition item to a Godzilla fan as a gift, they will surely be overjoyed. Definitely try it out. [Maguro Ichiba Tachikawa Kitaguchi Store] This day, I tried day labor in Tachikawa for the first time. I only had soup and two Godzilla steamed buns for breakfast, so by lunchtime, I was already starving. I thought about going for something hearty, but I've been gaining weight lately, so I thought maybe something fish-based would be good. Just as I was thinking that, I happened to find a shop while taking a walk around the station early in the morning. This time, the shop was Maguro Ichiba Tachikawa Kitaguchi Store. When I saw the poster outside the shop with delicious-looking items, I hesitated but decided to go in anyway. I thought it might be a ticket vending machine system, but it turned out to be pay at the counter. As soon as I sat down, cold tea was brought to me. I chose something good from the menu on the table. - Anago Tororo Maguro Don (Eel, grated yam, and tuna rice bowl) 580 yen I ordered hot tea and after a while, my meal arrived. In the center was Negitoro, surrounded by tuna, eel, grated yam, and pickled ginger. Let's start with the eel. It's small but the sweet flesh covered with a crunchy skin has a delightful texture. Next, I made wasabi soy sauce in the small dish provided with the bowl and poured it over everything. It's a common practice in seafood bowls. The tuna is a classic deliciousness. After eating that, mix the grated yam and Negitoro together, and when they cling to the rice and you scoop it into your mouth, it's pure bliss. I refreshed my mouth with pickled ginger halfway through, and I even thought it would be nice if it were all-you-can-eat. Thanks to the extra rice, I was full and completely satisfied. I had a refill of hot tea and finished my meal. Ah, it was delicious. It's convenient when you want to eat fish easily. Thank you for the meal.

I wanted to grab a quick bite in the early morning, but the neighboring donburi shop was still closed. So, I noticed a seafood bowl restaurant and decided to give it a try since I was quite hungry. I could choose from the options displayed on the sign outside before being seated and served with tea. I ordered a tuna and eel seafood bowl this time, which arrived in about 5 minutes. In addition to tuna and eel, it also had negitoro and tororo, making it a relatively mellow seafood bowl. It was delicious, but lacked a bit of impact compared to the photo. I think it might be worth trying a slightly higher grade option rather than aiming for the cheapest one. I will definitely try more dishes next time! The restaurant seemed relatively new, clean, and had a calm atmosphere.

I used this restaurant in Tachikawa for work. I was short on time and looking for something quick to eat around 4 pm, and I found this place. Since I didn't have much time, I decided to have a late lunch here. The interior of the restaurant is long and narrow with only a counter. Even though there were only about 15 seats, there were 4 staff members working, so they seemed busy. I ordered the Maguro Market Donburi and seaweed miso soup. It was nice that they offered a free upgrade to a larger portion. The food arrived in 2-3 minutes, as fast as cup ramen. You can choose between dashi shoyu or regular shoyu. I chose dashi shoyu and added wasabi before eating. It was delicious, but the tuna was a bit thin. For 700 yen, it wasn't too bad. Next time, I want to try the Maguro, Anago, and Tororo Donburi that you can eat for just one coin.
