Breakfast that can be enjoyed in Moji Port. It was a bit difficult to find as it is located near the fishing port area, and I had to walk around the area a few times before finally finding it. The exterior may not look inviting at first glance, but it is a popular spot among locals working in the fishing port. I arrived around 8:30 am and there was only one other customer at that time, but a few more came in later. I ordered the morning set meal for 330 yen. The best part was the miso soup. It had a taste that was a mix between miso soup and pork soup, with a sweetness from the melted potatoes. It was a miso soup that I really enjoyed. The breakfast, including fried egg, pasta salad, and simmered konjac, reminded me of a homely and comforting taste. Thank you for the meal.

Lunch set meal for 380 yen. While driving towards our destination, we came across Nichei Shokudo in the neighborhood. It brought back memories! I had visited this place a few years ago while touring Moji Port and riding a rental electric bicycle. The place had just opened back then. I remembered seeing Imoyamasaka Kakaricho at the storefront, surrounded by a crowd of reporters from TV stations. I had just eaten curry baked on Robert Akiyama's father's ferry, so I didn't stop by. That night, I stayed at the Kanpo no Yado Kitakyushu, which I also recalled. I never imagined that a few years later, I would become a festival guy named Kokura Minami-ku er and visit Kotsukudo. That's life. I arrived at 10:50, and there were 3 customers ahead of me. The exterior of the restaurant reminded me of the Nintendo Switch due to its color scheme. As soon as I entered, I immediately ordered the lunch set that I had decided on in my heart. It seems they make the food to order rather than having it pre-made. The food was served in about 10 minutes. The main dish was various fried items and a vegetable tempura-like dish, with coleslaw on the bottom. The fries had mayonnaise drizzled in streaks, but it didn't have much flavor. There were sauces and soy sauce on the table for you to add according to your preference. I added soy sauce, but I realized that this meal isn't about whether it's delicious or not. It's more about quickly getting some calories at a low cost and then heading back home. The rice was delicious, and the simple miso soup was also good. I couldn't help but think that maybe the breakfast set meal would have been better even for lunch today, May 26, there was a total lunar eclipse. And it was also a supermoon. Unfortunately, due to bad weather in Kitakyushu, it seemed like we wouldn't be able to observe it. Thank you for the meal.

In Moji Port, there is a red container-like building a bit away from the tourist course. Inside, it feels like an old-fashioned diner run by an elderly couple. There are young men eating heartily and quickly, middle-aged men drinking alcohol in the morning, and men in work clothes who seem to work nearby. I ordered the breakfast set with a large portion. It costs 350 yen. Regular customers bring various side dishes while chatting. I quietly waited at the table. The food came out quickly, surprisingly with dishes that seem good for the body like natto, seaweed, and miso soup with thin fried tofu. There are some chipped dishes, so be careful if that bothers you. Considering the price of 350 yen, it's not bad. If you're particular about that, you might want to avoid it. The simple taste of miso soup, natto with green onions, and seaweed on the side make it seem like my ideal breakfast. It's not a breakfast with an abundance of fish from the port town for tourists, that's for sure.

Well, anyway, the restaurant that offers an interesting experience, or rather, a mysterious experience, called "Anzen Irifune Shokudo," still appears in my dreams. It's like a Kafkaesque dream with a hard-to-describe sense of floating and despair. I mean, just look at the photo, the konjac is covered in ketchup by default? It's absurd, incredibly absurd! This restaurant is located at the end of the "Moji Port Retro" tourist spot, behind the "Moji Port Retro Observatory," essentially within the original Moji Port area, with a sign at the entrance saying "Unauthorized Vehicles Prohibited." However, according to other reviewers, only authorized vehicles come to this restaurant, so they must be related somehow. Pushing open the uncertain entrance, you will suddenly come across a bright red container serving as the restaurant. There is a dedicated parking space, as mentioned on the restaurant's Tabelog page, so make sure not to obstruct the passage for related vehicles, such as large transport trucks. Inside, you will find an elderly couple who seem to run the restaurant, and one elderly regular customer. Since only regulars visit this port eatery, they were momentarily surprised by my presence but still welcomed me. The menu consists of a simple breakfast set meal, lunch set meal, and other items like bento boxes, beer, and additional dishes that are pre-cooked. The breakfast set meal costs only 330 yen, which is surprisingly cheap! I couldn't help but be excited and complain inwardly, "What is this? In this day and age, a breakfast set for 330 yen? Not a chain store, is it?" However, my excitement quickly faded when I saw the konjac covered in ketchup and the cold pre-cooked dishes that seemed like leftovers from yesterday's oden. Moreover, overhearing the conversation between the restaurant owners and the regular customer, which seemed to be on an infinite loop, made my head spin. Despite this, the flavor of the food was surprisingly good, with a subtle umami flavor that is hard to resist. It may not be exceptional, but it's reminiscent of typical home-cooked meals. Criticizing a place like this would be unfair, considering its ability to survive in today's competitive market. I hope this unique restaurant continues to thrive for years to come, so I'll maintain a humble attitude and give it a passing grade. Overall, a personal Tabelog rating of 3.1.

"Alicia's Food Log: I finally visited this restaurant that I've been curious about for a while. Everyone was saying it's cheap! We arrived at 11 o'clock with a friend. I had the morning set for 300 yen and my friend had the lunch set for 350 yen. The rice was soft. I think it depends on personal preference. I like it firm, so... The miso soup was delicious! It had plenty of ingredients like seaweed, fried tofu, bean sprouts, and green onions. The half-cooked sunny-side-up egg was also good. However, there were many male customers, so I needed some courage to enter. Thank you for the meal."

A few years ago, I visited "Anzen Irifune Shokudo" in Moji ward, Kitakyushu City. There were rumors that it might be closing down, so I hurried back to visit. The restaurant is located in a converted container and has a somewhat intimidating atmosphere for women. The breakfast set is still priced at an amazing 300 yen even after the tax increase, which is comparable to or even better than chain restaurants. The lunch set is also a steal at only 350 yen!

The food is delicious, cheap, and the portion is generous. If you are looking for breakfast in Moji Port, this is the place to go. The morning set meal is 330 yen and you can add two side dishes for 100 yen. I was full and energized from the morning!

I wonder if the price is okay for this taste, it's average.

Breakfast for 300 yen. Only option. Container cafeteria run by a friendly couple.

According to reports as of late September 2018, the restaurant seems to be temporarily closed, with a hint of returning in the wording. In the past, there was a period of closure due to the head chef's health issues, during which he was hospitalized. Let's hope for a successful comeback. In June 2017, I felt like visiting and went with my son who had just obtained his driver's license for some food adventures. We visited the restaurant for breakfast, where we had a set meal for 300 yen with fried food, tempura, tamagoyaki, cucumber and jacope salad, and delicious miso soup. The portion was generous, and my son was surprised. The restaurant reopened for business after a temporary closure.

The restaurant is open from 6 am. The breakfast set is 300 yen. A large serving is an additional 30 yen, making it 330 yen. The image shows the 300 yen breakfast set, which already has a considerable amount of food. The lunch set is 350 yen, with a large serving costing 380 yen. The prices are surprisingly low, and the dishes are also very satisfying. It is located a 10-minute walk from Moji Port Station. Just a short walk across the bascule bridge.

■Reopening Today (August 23, H25) Early Morning, the restaurant has reopened. The owner said, "It's the same even if I'm in the hospital." Regular customers, please come visit. ■Owner's Sudden Illness Today (August 3, H25) Early Morning, the restaurant was open. It had been closed for a week, so I was the second customer. Regular customers, please come visit. I found out that the owner has cancer and has been undergoing full-body examinations. The plan is to remove the cancer through endoscopic surgery starting on August 12 for a week. It seems like a sort of summer break. ■Is this a restaurant for dockworkers? Elderly men and women on their morning walks also stop by. Open from 6:00 am to 1:00 pm. The morning set meal is 300 yen. It's quite filling. Rice (I always ask for half portion), miso soup (with lots of ingredients), two side dishes, salad, and additional small dishes for 50 yen each. There is also a lunch set meal, I think it's 350 yen. ■The photo shows the old storefront. This was what it looked like 30 years ago. Now it has become a container shop. ■It's not featured on other gourmet websites or on Tabelog, so it may not be considered gourmet, but it's like a Showa-era romantic diner. ■It's difficult to describe the location. It's among the warehouses on the north side of the Workers' Accident Compensation Hospital. Please look for it.
