Today, I went on a lunch exploration around the Daimyo area for the first time in a while. Although I feel like I've already explored this area quite a bit, there are still new places to discover. It was already past 2 o'clock, so I had missed the lunch time, but I found a restaurant with its door open. The signboard had Korean characters written on it, so I was a bit worried about the language barrier, but I didn't feel like searching for another place, so I decided to just go in. Since it was a late hour, there were no other customers. However, I was guided to a counter seat, so I decided to sit down. When I looked at the menu, I was surprised to see that the lunch was quite affordable! The yakiniku set for 800 yen seemed like a good deal. Without much hesitation, I placed my order. You could choose from large, medium, or small rice portions, so I chose medium, but you could also get a refill later. The yakiniku set that arrived had a generous amount of meat and vegetables. The rice portion was small, about the size of a small tea cup, so I ended up getting a refill. The pickled vegetables, spinach ohitashi, and fern namul that came as side dishes were delicious. The meal was very satisfying. There were two staff members at the restaurant, both of whom seemed to be Japanese. After finishing my meal, I asked them about the prices, and they mentioned that they couldn't raise them any higher because this area mainly caters to salarymen. I was impressed by the restaurant's efforts to serve a delicious yakiniku set with a generous portion for 800 yen. There are still places like this around, doing their best. Thank you for the meal! By the way, the bacon and egg set is 450 yen, and the yakiniku bowl is 600 yen. I recommend them!
