Last night's dinner was at #Boomerang Dining, #Mita-ya Sohonten. The hamburger set, made with domestic beef and pork, is like a perfect example of a Showa-era Western-style restaurant. The demi-glace sauce is great, and you can also add ketchup. I also had Hotel Rolls from #Gen Pan Factory. The #IleDeFrance Brie Cheese and Chateau De Camblanc Medoc 2010 wine I got from Takashimaya Osaka store were also good. Mita-ya Sohonten is a meat specialty store mainly for wholesalers in Kobe, and the brothers who are also from Maruyu, a steakhouse, run Mita-ya Sohonten. It would be fun to compare the different Mita-ya restaurants. #KobeGourmet #OsakaGourmet #HappyMealPlus #HappyMeal

In the restaurant showcase, various meats are displayed. Next to the register, they sell Black Wagyu beef curry. I purchased a potato croquette. The potatoes used are from Hokkaido, as indicated. I ate it as it is, enjoying the crispy texture of the potatoes that were well stewed inside, with a hint of saltiness. Next time, I plan to try the Black Wagyu roast beef.

Recently, I've been seeing more reviews like this one for curry retort pouches. When I see something a bit different, I always check to see if "Mita-ya Sohonke" is listed, you know? I usually buy from Tobu in Kitami, because I hardly find it anywhere else. I bought some black pork and showed it to my wife, but she suddenly started getting angry, asking if I was trying to pick a fight. So, I haven't seen what the method is. I compared two different ones. One had more of a burnt smell rather than a spicy taste, maybe from the caramelized onions. However, as I kept eating, it stopped bothering me and started to taste better. The spiciness is not strong, as it is labeled as medium spicy. It has a good umami and richness, so you won't regret eating it. Most of them are around 500 yen, so it's not a big deal, but I'm not sure where the appropriate price point is for this kind of retort pouch.
