蝋滓丈二
When talking with a friend about Hinata Pass, I was surprised to hear that the name of the restaurant "Hamaya" had changed. I had no idea! Even though I had passed by many times... It seems that the owner has changed. I couldn't believe it... "Hamaya" was a restaurant I really liked... I was so curious that I decided to go and check it out! I headed towards "Hamaya" on Route 49, climbing up towards Hinata Pass. The location is near the Itogolf Club. A little further ahead is the Sanzaka intersection. I arrived! I nervously checked out the restaurant and... it hadn't changed at all! The building, the atmosphere, everything was the same. I felt relieved inside (laughs). But as I got closer to the entrance... yes! The name on the sign had changed. It was now "Curry, Hamburger, Beef Stew Workshop Restaurant Mikage (御蔭)". A very long name! I entered and checked it out. The door opened with a bang, and the waitress greeted me. The interior of the restaurant was exactly the same. Only raised tatami seating. The waitress hadn't changed either. I sat down with a mixture of relief and itchiness. I looked at the menu. It hadn't changed either. I ordered the "Double Hamburger Set" (1,350 yen). I checked the progress of the Olympics on my iPhone. And then it arrived. Pickles, side dishes, white rice, miso soup, and finally the main hamburger... on a hot plate, sizzling! Oh! This is it. The hamburger looked exactly the same! It had been a while, so I ordered the double! 2 hamburgers! When asked if I wanted extra rice, I said, "No, I'm fine with normal." One bowl of rice for two hamburgers. What a luxury! I ate the hamburger with chopsticks. It was so tender and juicy! Delicious. Delicious. Delicious. I always think that the meat is delicious, but the Japanese sauce is the best! When I was young, one hamburger like this would have gone well with three bowls of rice! But now, I enjoy the hamburger as the main dish... truly luxurious. The amazing sauce was generously poured over, soaking the vegetables on the side. They were delicious too. The rice. The miso soup... the side dishes... the pickles... overall, a satisfying meal. I couldn't help but indulge! Thank you for the meal. Ah, I forgot that the name of the restaurant had changed. When I entered the restaurant, everything was the same, so I forgot (laughs). I asked at the counter. The owner retired, and the chef became the new owner. The name changed in August last year. Oh, I think I came around October... I was with a couple of friends, so I didn't pay attention to the sign! (laughs) Well, that's good. I'm glad it hasn't changed. I feel relieved! Next time, I have to come back for the jumbo pork cutlet curry! I have a food blog. →itoshima.blue/ [Restaurant Mikage (御陰)]
