In search of a delicious lunch, we headed to Gohan-ya Ital in Itoshima City. It was our first visit, and we arrived on a Sunday at 1:20 PM. We were guided to the parking lot by what seemed to be an elderly staff member, and we noticed cars with license plates from Saga, Kitakyushu, Oita, and even Hamamatsu. As we entered the restaurant, we were greeted by a wood-burning stove. For our meal, we chose the Hagi-kettle rice ball set meal for 1,500 yen and the Uwabu River wild pork 100% hamburger set meal for 2,200 yen. We also opted for the shrimp tempura rice ball for an additional 150 yen. The salad arrived promptly, featuring a colorful array of vegetables including white broccoli, paprika, and lettuce, served on a stylish plate. We seasoned the salad with three types of salt (smoked salt, herb salt, roasted salt) and olive oil, enjoying the different flavors. Next, our main dishes arrived, including two rice balls (one tempura), soup, sashimi, a small side dish, and pickles. The rice balls were warm and satisfying, and the sashimi was fresh and delicious. The hamburger, served on a hot plate with onions and white broccoli, was juicy and flavorful. The restaurant had hand sanitizers available for COVID-19 prevention, and the building itself was a stylish old house with high ceilings. We left the restaurant feeling full and satisfied. Thank you for the wonderful meal. We will definitely visit again.
