I was curious about this place where you can get a seafood bowl for 500 yen. They also offer eat-in options. I ordered the mixed seafood bowl. It had tuna, shrimp, tobiko, and other various ingredients, all cut into easy-to-eat pieces. I was worried about the price, but it was delicious without any fishy smell. I think it's great value for money.

When driving around, I saw a sign for a seafood bowl priced at only 500 yen, which seemed familiar. It's located in Oji, Minami-ku, Fukuoka City. I parked at the Tsutaya parking lot and went to check it out. The parking is free for the first hour, which is convenient. By the way, I am not an honorary member of Tsutaya. The shop specializes in take-out seafood bowls, and I remember trying one at a shop in Tosu, Saga Prefecture, which has since closed down. The key to these shops is the location, and this one seems to have a good spot. They also advertise their seafood bowl as being started by a sushi restaurant. When I visited around 12pm on a weekday, there was only one customer. I was unsure which bowl to order from the menu outside the shop, but I decided to go for the regular seafood bowl priced at 500 yen (excluding tax). The shop has 6 seats for dining in, but I chose to eat in my car. The portion size seemed small, and the fish tasted like it was frozen. The toppings included tuna, salmon from Chile, gizzard shad, squid, scallop, small shrimp, and salmon roe. The vinegar taste in the gizzard shad was too strong, and overall, the fish tasted watery due to being frozen. Despite the lackluster taste, I felt it would be a waste to leave any, so I forced myself to finish it. When you're on a tight budget, you may consider eating here, but I would recommend trying a different menu item. The shop offers a variety of over 100 dishes, but it's mainly just putting toppings on rice. If you're a man, you should definitely go for the large size.

It is located in a corner where there is a TUTAYA and Seria. It is behind Mitsuya Japanese and Western confectionery store. There is a flag outside, so I was curious every time I passed by on the national highway. All items are priced at 500 yen. The price varies for large servings of rice or toppings. It was my first time, so I tried the "Donmaru Don" with the store name on it. The Negitoro, Maguro, Ikura, and Uni were included in the bowl. The Negitoro was large and had some akami tuna in it, which was delicious. The Ikura was small but tasty. The Uni was okay for the price, a bit bitter. The squid was my favorite, slimy type of squid. The amount of rice was moderate. I think it may not be enough for men. The staff were very polite, which was nice. There are two round stools at the order counter, so you can sit and wait for about 5 minutes. It looked like there were a few seats for eat-in customers beyond the curtain. It's great to be able to enjoy a seafood bowl for 540 yen. I plan to go again.
