As of January 25, 2022, the opening hours have been changed to 11:00-20:00. A new set meal and casual drinking establishment opened near the entrance of the Sakae Shopping Street in January 2022. I read about it in "Kitakyushu Nokoto" and had planned to go on Monday, but I've been eating a lot of pork shabu-shabu lately at home and outside, so I decided to switch to having fried horse mackerel on Tuesday. The weather was nice and the cold was mild, making it a comfortable day. There were about 6-7 table seats, a raised seating area for 1, and 3-4 counter seats, but only 2 seats were being used with flowers displayed for celebration. I ordered the daily special on Tuesday, which was fried horse mackerel. There were three thick pieces, not surprisingly, but they were plump. The tartar sauce was delicious, making me wish for a "extra sauce" option! The tartar sauce, with visible chunks of boiled egg, was the type that makes you want more rice. I was very satisfied with the fried horse mackerel set meal, but when I caught a glimpse of the salted mackerel set meal ordered by the customer next to me, my heart was in turmoil. A huge, taut mackerel, about 15 cm in length, was lying there. This is a problem... The next target was supposed to be chicken nanban, but the salted mackerel suddenly took the spotlight. Plus, you can choose to have a large serving of rice, of course, a small serving is also available. I opted for a regular serving this time, but with that mackerel, I would need to be careful with my pace if I were to go for a large serving. A good set meal restaurant has opened in Sakae Town (*^ω^*). There was no PayPay QR code available, so I paid in cash.
