Business trip meal. Tonight I had the fried chicken set meal at Yoshinoya (675 yen). Not just beef bowls, but the fried chicken is also really good quality. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. Comes with salad for a balanced meal. Free extra rice available. Stuffed my stomach. Lately, I've been eating at Yoshinoya more often.

Today, I couldn't have a proper meal since morning until 9 pm. All the nearby restaurants were closed, so I went to Yoshinoya. Luckily, Yoshinoya was open. I ordered the Negi-Shio Yakiniku set meal with extra rice. Tonight's dinner was Negi-Shio Yakiniku set meal with large rice (657 yen) + extra rice (0 yen). How much rice can one person eat?

Tonight's business trip meal. Teppanyaki beef yakiniku set meal (712 yen) - coupon (-50 yen). Slices of beef and green onions on a hot iron plate, topped with sauce. Comes with salad and miso soup for a balanced meal. Rice can be refilled from large to regular size.

Today in Tokyo, it's rainy season. Good morning♪ It's 8:00 am and the temperature is 22℃ with 95% humidity. There is a light east-southeast wind at 2m/s. I had breakfast at the Yoshinoya Tamachi Shiba-ura store. I ordered the "Natto Beef Small Bowl Set" for 437 yen. I changed the miso soup to clam soup for an additional 121 yen. Using a 50 yen discount coupon and a shareholder benefit ticket (500 yen), I only paid 8 yen. Surprisingly, it's a well-balanced meal in terms of nutrition. Yoshinoya, you're doing great. It's hearty and satisfying! ( ´∀｀ )／Pon!

During my business trip to Tokyo, I visited Yoshinoya. The interior was cleaner than last time, as they had just reopened with a new look. They also added a new fried chicken menu. I had wanted to try the fried chicken last time but they didn't have it, so this time I had the fried chicken set. The fried chicken was crispy and juicy, it was amazing.

Yoshinoya announced the renovation of 300 stores nationwide about two months ago. It's disappointing that despite the increase in dining out due to the easing of the pandemic and increased profits, they are investing in renovating their stores. As a shareholder, it's sad that the dividend payout was low. The nearest "Yoshinoya Tamachi Station Shibaura Store" recently completed its renovation. I went to eat there with the shareholder benefit coupon that had just arrived. The exterior and interior are mainly black. It looks like it's designed as if it's in a national park with color restrictions. It's definitely new. I ordered the "Tartar Chicken Set" as part of the renovation opening "Fried Chicken Festival," which was 10% off, making it 690 yen instead of 766 yen. I also used the shareholder benefit coupon (500 yen), so I only paid 190 yen. Now it's time to eat. The fried chicken is piping hot with steam rising from it. It looks decent. I prepared it by squeezing dressing onto the vegetables. It's really hot. The hybrid sauce of tartar and sweet vinegar goes well with the crispy coating. The chicken is tender and juicy. It goes really well with the white rice. It's delicious. I'm very satisfied. Thank you for the meal!

The long-closed Tamachi branch has finally reopened after renovation, so I visited right away. I was happy to see that they have touch panel ordering, as it allows even shy people like me to order without calling out to the staff. I tried the new menu item, grilled chicken bowl, and my friend had the fried chicken set meal, both of which were delicious. Despite the price increase, the cost performance is still superior to nearby lunch spots.

"Gyukarubi-don (beef short rib bowl) - regular size for 624 yen (tax included). The fat is delicious. The white leeks are also delicious. The rice soaked in sauce is delicious. The pickled ginger is the best! When you sprinkle shichimi togarashi (seven spice chili pepper), it's even better! Fujita Nikoru is so cute♪ That's all for today ( ´∀｀ )/pon"

Yoshinoya has started a nationwide morning coupon campaign from February 1 to March 31, 2023, where if you eat breakfast, you get a 200 yen discount on lunch or dinner. If you spend over 300 yen between 4 am and 11 am, you receive a 200 yen discount coupon that can be used until midnight on the same day. As a shareholder, this is an event that cannot be missed. I immediately went to the "Yoshinoya Tamachi Station Shibaura Store" at 7 am. I ordered the "Natto Side Dish Set Meal" for 437 yen (tax included). I also got a free extra serving of rice. The salad was delicious. They also made me a mini beef bowl, which was also delicious. Next, I had the natto rice and poured the beef bowl sauce on top. It was delicious. Since the meal was under 500 yen, I couldn't use the shareholder coupon (500 yen discount) this time, so I paid in cash. I got the 200 yen discount coupon. The real challenge will be tonight!

Not just beef bowl. Tsukimi Gyuu toji set meal (712 yen). You can get extra rice or free refills. Overall: super delicious. You can enjoy various flavors like beef hot pot, scrambled eggs, and raw egg over rice. Thanks to that, I ended up getting extra rice and refills. Thank you for the meal.

I went to a ramen shop for lunch, but it was unexpectedly closed. While looking for another option, I found a Yoshinoya nearby. I joined the line outside and ordered the Meat Lovers' Black Curry. It was delicious, with a rich and spicy flavor that paired perfectly with the beef and onions. I will definitely consider it as an option for my next visit. Thank you for the meal.

Had a late dinner at this place a bit away from the station, probably due to road expansion plans. The low-rise building sticks out a bit, and the interior of the small shop is quite narrow with three small island counter spaces. It's like a smaller version of the Yurakucho or Higashi-Ikebukuro branch. I had the large beef bowl with extra sauce, and as always, Yoshinoya never disappoints.

I was looking for a restaurant without rice in the first half of the week to cut down on carbohydrates, and I found one. The salad with beef, chicken, broccoli, and soft-boiled egg was surprisingly satisfying. It was delicious. They also had an option with avocado, which I would like to try next time.

I eat gyudon (beef bowl) a few times a month, with 95% from "Yoshinoya," 4.5% from "Matsuya," and the rest from other places. So, I visited "Yoshinoya" near my home for the first time. It has been 25 years since my last visit to a regular "Yoshinoya" branch. The exterior and interior are typical of Yoshinoya, with only a counter and a slightly larger space for takeout. The foreign staff may have difficulty with Japanese, but they are trying their best. I ordered a regular gyudon for 387 yen (tax included). It comes with plenty of red pickled ginger and shichimi chili pepper to sprinkle on top. Ah, I see... Yoshinoya's gyudon has such a refined flavor. It's just right for me, but young people might find it lacking. Well, I'll say it's delicious. On my way out, I received various coupons for my next visit. At first, the coupons seemed extravagant, but... you have to order the extra-large gyudon to use them. That costs 722 yen plus tax. Hmm, that's a bit much.

Forbidden... Late-night feast at Yoshinoya, devouring a course of 25 exquisite dishes at "Umimai", then eating 3 bowls of ramen and fried rice at "Shinfukusenkan", "Hopeken", and "Akanoren", but still indulging in 5 bowls of beef bowls at Yoshinoya in the middle of the night... 🍲🍚🍜🍛🌙 - Yoshinoya (Shibaura, Minato-ku): 5 regular size beef bowls - Food Beast Maro

【Returning after 6 months】The seasons have changed, and it's now summer. There have been some changes to the menu, with a new dish called beef hot pot bowl. It seems like a cost-cutting measure by replacing beef with tofu and shredded konjac, but surprisingly, it has a healthy appeal and I quite like it. And the price is reasonable at 250 yen, making it a great option for getting two bowls for the price of one. Of course, the taste is only good enough for eating two bowls... which I won't do (laughs).【Overview】Located near JR Tamachi Station on the Shibaura side, heading towards Shinagawa, at the first major intersection with a pedestrian bridge, at the base of the pedestrian bridge, is a chain restaurant specializing in beef bowls.

[Monthly revisit] Last month, I received a discount coupon for 50 yen off side menu items, and I had a feeling that I would end up eating there again soon, as I mentioned in my log. And indeed, I ended up revisiting the restaurant. I opted for a simple lunch with a beef sukiyaki bowl with miso soup. Even without the coupon, I could have just had a cup of tea, but I truly enjoyed the sense of getting a good deal. As for the beef sukiyaki bowl, it seems they keep costs down by using white radish and tofu, but I personally appreciate the taste because I consider myself a pseudo-health-conscious guy who enjoys eating these ingredients.

【4 months later revisiting】I thought today might be the last day for Yoshinoya's 110 yen discount sale, which makes the beef bowl 270 yen, but I ended up stopping by. It was crowded during lunchtime, but I managed to squeeze in. The sale didn't change anything, it was the usual beef bowl. It's a reliable chain restaurant.

【Revisit after 4 months】I finally tried my hand at the curry rice at this chain restaurant. There are two flavors: spicy and rich. It definitely feels like it's made from a retort package... The pricing seems to aim at increasing the average customer spending, with a gap between the beef bowl for 380 yen and the beef hot pot bowl for 280 yen filled by a 330 yen option. I'm not an expert, so I'm not sure. They also offer variations like beef curry based on the 330 yen price point. I wish them success. 【Overview】Located near the Tamachi Station on the Shiba side, heading towards Shinagawa, at the first major intersection with a pedestrian bridge, at the foot of the bridge is a chain restaurant specializing in beef bowls.

After half a year, I revisited the restaurant during the spring 2011 limited-time sale. The beef bowl war is back! Yoshinoya is offering a discount of 110 yen, so the 380 yen beef bowl is now 270 yen. Competing stores are offering prices of 250 yen and 240 yen, with a close battle in 10 yen increments. I had a quick lunch there. The amount of meat seemed a bit small, and I could see the rice underneath, but I still appreciated the meal. This chain restaurant is located near the first large pedestrian overpass at the intersection when heading towards Shinagawa from JR Tamachi Station on the Shibaura side. It's a convenient spot for a busy lunch in this area slightly away from the station.
