During the day, the lively Nishijin shopping street is full of energy! Even during the day, there are outdoor stalls and cheap eateries lined up in the area, making it very famous. For lunch in this shopping street, I visited "Asami Shokudo" this time. It's been a while since I visited. The restaurant is located in the Hatoya Shindo shopping street next to the pachinko parlor "Parlor Zone" in the Nishijin Chuo shopping street, tucked away in the back alley. This restaurant has been in business since the post-war period, making it a long-established dining establishment. The interior of the restaurant has counter seats and table seats on the first floor, and sunken table seats on the second floor, with a total of four staff members including the owner managing the place. Most of the menu items are priced from 500 to 600 yen, and even after the tax increase, the voluminous and affordable pricing without price increases is one of the reasons for its popularity! There are two daily specials, with "A set meal 550 yen" being meat and "B set meal 680 yen" being fish. In addition, there are various other set meals such as ramen, champon, yakisoba, plate udon, tonkatsu, fried chicken, hamburger, gyoza, and many more. Last time I had a set meal, so this time I ordered "Miso Champon 600 yen". By the way, the default "champon" is 500 yen - very cheap(^^;) A very hearty miso champon arrived with plenty of ingredients! The ingredients included cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, onions, squid, clams, pork, fish cakes, satsuma-age, snow peas, and more that I could see(^_^) The soup is a rich tonkotsu-based broth with miso, quite rich and on the strong side. This might be a love-it-or-hate-it flavor... Personally, I like it♪ The noodles are standard thickness champon noodles. You can also get a large serving for an additional 150 yen, but the default portion is decent, so I think it's enough for most people. About half of the customers on this day ordered champon. It seems to be a popular menu item! Next time, I'll visit again to try the normal champon with a tonkotsu base( ̄▽ ̄)ノ Thank you for the meal m(_ _)m
