Due to the impact of the coronavirus shock, the enjoyment of dining out has been restricted. I had been curious about a seafood bowl takeout-only shop for a while, and when I suddenly remembered it, I visited twice, only to find that both times it was closed. This time, I called ahead to confirm and visited. The menu has many options, all priced the same at 500 yen. Adding extra rice is 100 yen, extra toppings are 200 yen, and both extra rice and toppings are 300 yen. No matter how much you add, it won't exceed 1000 yen, which is fantastic. I bought for my mother and brother too. This time, I ordered a regular portion and was very satisfied with the amount of toppings and rice. The taste was also satisfying. Considering the price, the cost-performance ratio is quite high. I will definitely visit again. With a wide variety of menu options, I am looking forward to what I will try next.

It had been a while since my family wanted to eat the donburi here, so we decided to go. I had already decided on the tuna donburi before going, but when we got to the restaurant, there were other menu items besides fish. I ended up buying the Stamina Yukke Donburi with a warm egg for 645 yen and the Bara Donburi for 500 yen. The person who ate the Stamina Yukke Donburi with the warm egg was very happy. It was the right choice! The Bara Donburi had various ingredients chopped up and placed on top like chirashi sushi, but it wasn't vinegared rice so when I tried it with the accompanying sauce, I found that it already had some sort of seasoning on it and didn't need the extra sauce. However, I still thought that vinegared rice would have been better.

I was excited to go out at night for a family errand and eat on the way back, but we ended up revisiting this place because the donburi bowls here are great. There are many options for only 500 yen, which is nice, but it's hard to decide because there are so many choices. I lost in rock-paper-scissors, so I was in charge of shopping. I couldn't decide on the menu, so I asked for some conditions: no salmon roe and no natto. We parked at a nearby store because the parking in front of the restaurant is difficult. We went shopping at Donmaru with the condition that we shop properly. We still hesitated even when we got to the restaurant. In the end, we ordered a Donmaru bowl and a two-color shrimp bowl (I love shrimp). Since it was still New Year (January 4th), we were given a complimentary soup as a New Year's gift. We were very happy about this. My family had the Donmaru bowl, and I had the two-color shrimp bowl. Considering the price of 500 yen, the content was very much appreciated. When we left, the chef in the kitchen also said, "Thank you for your continued support this year!" This was only my fourth visit, but I replied, "Thank you very much as well." I hope the restaurant continues to prosper! m(_._)m

I discovered this restaurant thanks to a recommendation from Mairevi-san. Although I must have passed by it many times before and maybe even seen the sign, I had never noticed it. The restaurant is located on the first floor of a building, with each tenant having their own parking space in front of their store. It can be difficult to park even when there are empty spaces, so it might be best to visit when going to nearby places like a pachinko parlor, drugstore, or supermarket. The ordering process is similar to a drive-thru, with a menu posted on the wall and you pay in advance. I was excited to find out that the seafood bowl was only 500 yen. There were many other menu items that surprised me, and I ended up accidentally ordering three instead of two due to the fast-paced atmosphere. The toppings on the rice bowls were generous, especially the negitoro which pleased my family who loves it. The uni, ikura, hotate, kani, salmon bowl I tried had a decent amount of uni despite being a bit scarce, and the kani was real crab meat. The other two bowls I bought contained various toppings such as maguro, ika, salmon, negitoro, mentaiko, natto, and kazunoko, but I couldn't tell which was which. The rice in the bowls was warm, which I didn't particularly like as I prefer cold rice with sashimi on top. However, someone mentioned that putting the rice in the fridge made it taste fishy, so it's better to eat it right away. I initially thought it was a small independent restaurant, but it seems to be a chain with a website listing different menus for each location. A large serving of rice costs an additional 100 yen, which may be worth it considering the portion of toppings. Soy sauce and disposable chopsticks are provided, but you can always ask if you don't need them. I'm grateful for the recommendation and I had a very pleasant experience at this restaurant.

By chance, we ended up having bento boxes for dinner. Instead of buying from supermarkets or major bento chain stores, we decided to go to "Kitahara Donmaru" with another person to buy them. On the way, we passed by a ramen shop that is scheduled to open tomorrow (10/31). (By the way, the main store has been reviewed before.) "Kitahara Donmaru" is a takeout-only shop. I had been curious about it before, and with the recommendation from a fellow reviewer, we decided to visit for the first time. Inside the shop, there were over 60 bowl menu items with photos displayed. You could also choose from small (180g), regular (240g), or large (360g) sizes. My companion was overwhelmed by the variety of choices. Eventually, we decided to each buy one bento box. I chose the "Anago Hotate Don (540 yen, tax included)". I had received important information from a fellow reviewer that sashimi would be placed on warm rice. The warm rice complemented the eel and simmered scallops well, enhancing the deliciousness. After purchasing, we finished shopping elsewhere and took our bento boxes home. When I opened the lid, I found neatly arranged eel and three large simmered scallops. Beside them, wasabi in the shape of a leaf was placed. The combination of toppings went well with the warm rice, giving a feeling of enjoying a station bento. The rice soaked in the sauce was also delicious. According to the staff at the shop, they have branches nationwide, and there is a store in Tosu nearby. The other members also gave positive reviews. We all enjoyed the meal together. Thank you for the delicious food.

The salad and soup are homemade. Great cost performance! The freshness of the seafood is outstanding and delicious! Also, there are many varieties so it's exciting!
