Title: "2022 July Hokuriku Touring Part 3, All-You-Can-Eat Rice! A Restaurant Guaranteed to Make You Gain Weight If It Were Local" It's the first night of the "First Hokuriku Tour" in July 2022. I chose a route that starts in Osaka and goes counterclockwise to explore Hokuriku, so I am currently in Osaka. This is my fourth time visiting Osaka this year, but as usual, after taking care of some errands, I was looking for dinner along Sakaisuji street when I stumbled upon Yayoiken in front of the subway station. The ginger pork set meal on the menu caught my eye as it was priced at 640 yen, so I decided to give it a try. I arrived at the restaurant on Friday at 7:21 pm, and it was about 30% full inside. The seating areas were separated by high partitions, making it difficult to see the surroundings, which is a plus for solo diners. I purchased a meal ticket from the machine - the ginger pork set meal for 640 yen! And the best part? All-you-can-eat rice! There was also a soy meat version available, but I opted for the regular version with meat. The meal arrived in about 4 and a half minutes, which was surprisingly fast. I would rate it a 10 out of 10. Salad: 8 points - The salad with sesame dressing consisted of cabbage, carrots, purple cabbage, and was pretty standard shredded cabbage. Miso soup: 6 points - The miso soup with seaweed and spring onions was decent but nothing special. Tofu: 5 points - The portion size was small, and it was just average. Rice: 8 points - The quality and cooking of the rice were decent. But when eaten with the ginger pork, it was incredibly delicious! The fact that you could get free refills was a nice bonus. Ginger pork: 9 points - The portion size was a bit small, but considering the price of 640 yen, it was a good deal! The pork ginger pork, onions, and bean sprouts were flavorful, and there was plenty of sauce. Mixing it with mayonnaise, putting it on rice, and adding shichimi spice took the taste to another level! I made sure to get a refill of rice, which was served in the same portion as the first bowl. Overall, I would give it a 9 out of 10. For the price of 640 yen, the meal felt very satisfying in terms of portion size. The fact that you could get free refills of rice was also a nice touch. I was too full to try the ochazuke this time, so I'll have to save that for next time! Afterwards, I realized that Yayoiken is not available in my local area of Chiba Kashiwa, but it was located near Kenbi no Yu in Minami Masuo! Next time I visit Kenbi no Yu, I definitely want to try Yayoiken, even though the dining hall inside the facility and the ramen at Nikaia nearby are also good options. As for the trip, I quickly returned to my regular accommodation near Nishinari Police Station from Dobutsuen-mae Station on the Sakaisuji Line. Since I have an early start tomorrow, I'll hit the hay now. (July 8, 2022)

Hashtag: #Want to go to the restaurant again (^-^)v The steak I had for the first time was a bit tough (^_^;) It was as hard as rubber. I only rate based on taste. A restaurant I want to go to again is not just about the taste. There are restaurants that are delicious but I don't want to go back to. I live to eat.

The fried chicken set meal costs 770 yen. To be honest, at this price, it would be better to eat at Karayoshitei where the quality of the chicken is completely different. Around 550 yen would be more reasonable. Overall, the food is delicious and there are no disappointments, but compared to other restaurants that are too delicious, there is a sense of disappointment in terms of expectations.

I appreciate being able to choose a set meal. Rice is free for refills. I was torn between the grilled meat set meal and the vegetable stir-fry set meal, but I decided on the grilled meat set meal because I can add a salad as a side dish. Set meals come with a salad. There is also a fish set meal available, so you can choose based on nutritional balance. Thank you as always!

Director Shinichi Fujisaki of BODYPIT KYOTO here. Today, I came to Nipponbashi in Osaka to participate in the cleaning service at the Ikuta Shrine with ten thousand people. For breakfast, I went to Yayoiken. I was planning to have the mackerel miso set meal, but I was drawn to the spicy ramen and decided to change my order. It was incredibly delicious ramen. Thank you very much.

Let's eat dashi chazuke at Yayoiken. When it comes to Yayoiken, I always associate it with dashi chazuke, where the main dish feels like a side dish. Yayoiken offers unlimited rice refills, free pickles, and even free dashi. Let's choose a side dish. I've never tried the hamburg at Yayoiken, so let's give it a try. They have a Japanese-style hamburger and a demiglace hamburger. The demiglace hamburger is definitely the stronger option. I purchase a meal ticket for 890 yen from the vending machine. I choose a seat near the rice refill corner. Here comes the demiglace hamburger on a hot plate with fried potatoes, ketchup spaghetti, and broccoli. I also have a side of ketchup. The meal includes rice and miso soup. The fried potatoes are as thick as McDonald's fries. I eat the hamburger with ketchup. The hamburger oozes with meat juice when cut, which indicates it's packed with flavor. The demiglace sauce is neither bitter nor sour, just perfect. Time for a refill. I start with a regular 150g portion. Next, I go for a medium 200g portion. Finally, I finish the meal and prepare my dashi chazuke. I pour plenty of dashi over the rice and sprinkle some shichimi on the pickles. Ah, it's so satisfying. Yayoiken is the only chain that offers dashi chazuke with their meal service. I hope they continue this service.

Located in Nihonbashi, Chuo Ward, Osaka City, "Yayoiken Nihonbashi Store" is open 24 hours a day. I tried the Miso Katsu Nitsuke Set for 780 yen including tax. The miso sauce with a spicy kick goes well with the pork cutlet and rice. You can enjoy it by mixing the sauce with rice and pork cutlet, or by adding a soft-boiled egg for a creamy texture. It was a delicious meal.

While walking around Otaro Road towards Kuromon, I came across a sign for "Kokumaru Chanpon" in front of Yayoi Ken. As a fan of chanpon, I couldn't pass it up and decided to enter the restaurant. I ordered the set meal with Kokumaru Chanpon and karaage for 890 yen. The service was a bit slow, but the portion size was decent. The chanpon itself was average, lacking a bit of flavor. Overall, considering the price, it's not bad. I might come back once a month if it becomes a regular menu item at Yayoi Ken.

The restaurant is open 24 hours. I went for breakfast at 9:20 and ended up eating a lot. I had twice-cooked pork and mapo tofu, both with strong seasoning. I also had grated yam, which was free with a coupon from the Yoshinoya app. Thank you...

I visited Yoi-Ken on 23rd July. They are offering a limited-time promotion where you can get a Highball or Lemon Sour for 190 yen (tax included). So, I decided to stop by for some cheap drinks. I ordered a Highball and some fried potatoes, which came with pickles. The total came to 360 yen, which is quite a steal. The taste was average (lol).

I have no interest in making a movie about someone aiming for success. The theme of all my movies is about people outside the rat race. The film director Jim Jarmusch's movie "Stranger Than Paradise" represents the 80s indie theater culture with its cynical humor. Today, I visited "Kuromon Market". More than half of the shops are closed, showing the loneliness of the place that hasn't fully recovered. It feels like a lie compared to when it was crowded with foreign tourists not long ago. After passing through Kuromon Market and crossing Chuo-dori, I entered "Yayoiken Nihonbashi Store". - Pork miso soup and grilled saury set meal (890 yen) Today, I felt like eating grilled fish. I chose the "pork miso soup and grilled saury set meal" from the various fish set meals. Oh, not only grilled saury but also two pieces of tempura, what a pleasant surprise. The grilled saury had a fragrant finish and the plump white meat was delicious. The tempura had a juicy meat juice and when paired with mustard, it had a refreshing aftertaste. The miso soup was full of ingredients, with large pieces of tofu making it a satisfying meal. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. Normally, you can help yourself to rice with unlimited refills, but due to the influence of the coronavirus, you have to call the staff to ask for more. I decided to stick with the regular portion this time. I will continue to improve myself on the path ahead, quietly and without regret.

Just a short walk from Nipponbashi Station on the Osaka metro. Whenever I crave salt-grilled mackerel, I always end up here. The salt-grilled mackerel set meal costs 670 yen, and you can upgrade to barley rice for an extra 30 yen, making it a total of 700 yen. They grill a half portion of salted mackerel perfectly. It's probably from Norway, as it has a great fatty texture and tastes delicious. Grate some daikon radish, pour soy sauce over it, and enjoy the mackerel by cutting it with chopsticks. It's so satisfying. They also serve a mini portion of chilled tofu, pickles, and miso soup with seaweed and green onions for a nice break between bites. I also tried the Chicken Nanban nuggets with a coupon, and the mild Chicken Nanban flavor was delightful. Currently, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the self-serve rice refill station is closed, so remember to ask the staff if you want a refill.

Saba set meal, neba-toro gohan, and toriten set meal. Please note that the rice refill station is closed! You have to directly ask the staff for rice refills as there is no call bell. This style is much more hygienic! The restaurant closes at 8 pm. The saba set meal is consistently delicious. I will definitely come back after work again! I savored every bite today, thinking it might be my last meal. Thank you for the meal.

The restaurant is open 24 hours. I visited at 28:10 and there were quite a few customers. Even though it was late at night or early in the morning, they served a hearty set meal! I ordered the grilled saury set meal. I wanted to eat grilled fish and I was happy with the large saury. It comes with cold tofu and miso soup. Pickles and white rice are free for refill. I got a free mini fried chicken with an application coupon. I'm happy. I also ordered 2 pieces of fried chicken and a cabbage salad.

It's midnight in Nihonbashi. Foreign visitors are enjoying Japan. I couldn't find a restroom nearby, so I went to Yayoi Ken and asked to use the restroom first. I decided to have the colorful set meal. They ran out of 16-grain rice, so it was replaced with barley rice at an additional cost. I used to like the 16-grain rice though... Well, Yayoi Ken's white rice is delicious. And you can get free refills. Pickles and roasted green tea make a great combination. The additional rice and hot tea are available for refills. The colorful set meal comes with a variety of dishes. They only have beer for alcohol, but it goes well with the food. I spent the night eating slowly while listening to jazz music. Thank you for the meal.

Established in the 19th year of the Meiji era, Yayoiken is a historic restaurant that I have visited a few times. While I often enjoy dishes like steak, mixed fry, vegetable stir-fry, hokke, and mackerel at other restaurants, I have never tried the tonkatsu set meal at Yayoiken. There is a similar restaurant nearby that offers all-you-can-eat rice with a similar menu, where I often eat tonkatsu set meals. The tonkatsu at Yayoiken is of medium size with a thickness of about 15 millimeters. It is said to be made with Mikado sauce, which is a special sauce unique to Yayoiken. The meat is lean with minimal fat, mostly consisting of red meat from the loin. It is freshly fried but not too hot to eat right away, making it suitable even for small children. The use of vegetable oil instead of lard or head oil prevents the tonkatsu from becoming excessively hot. Some restaurants prepare the tonkatsu by coating raw meat with egg, flour, and breadcrumbs just before frying, while others pre-coat and store the meat before frying it upon order. Some restaurants use a two-step frying method, starting with low heat and then finishing with high heat, resulting in quickly prepared dishes upon ordering. A popular style recently seen is serving tonkatsu on a plate with a wire mesh on top. Many restaurants offer both fillet and loin tonkatsu, with the latter being slightly more expensive in some establishments.

The tempura set meal that started being offered from 2/13 is delicious! The meat is tender and when eaten with the grated daikon radish dipping sauce, it's light and refreshing! The lemon is also amazing!

It's cheap and delicious!! Highly recommended for students!!

I always use it for dinner. It is always crowded with many people, including foreigners, and there are many times when it is full. The taste is delicious. The cost performance is also good. It's nice that you can have unlimited rice refills.

I went.
