I went to a dinner buffet. It was a weekend night so I had high expectations but felt a bit disappointed. There were many hotel guests, giving it a solo diner vibe. The drinks were good, with coffee, Calpis, two types of tea, orange juice, etc. There was an option for all-you-can-drink alcohol for an additional 990 yen for 90 minutes, which made me worry about the cost-effectiveness. The food included rice, curry, chirashi sushi, chicken nuggets, potatoes, yakisoba, mini omelets, fried fish, simmered fish, white sesame tofu, mapo tofu, sesame salad, shrimp chili, tomato stewed chicken, roll cake, sweet potato, pineapple, banana, coffee jelly, miso soup, special salad, shredded cabbage, fukujinzuke, kimchi, edamame. The lineup was a bit strange, starting with desserts. There was no standout dish that made me want to come back. The price was reasonable at 950 yen per adult including drinks, but with so many other dining options nearby, it felt a bit wasteful. Overall, the food was average and I found myself getting a bit bored halfway through. The buffet didn't have the same level of extravagance as shown in the photos. Perhaps I just had bad luck today. The taste was decent, but I might get tired of it quickly.

The other day, on my way back from visiting someone in the hospital, I noticed Kame no I Hotel had opened, and I was curious about it, so I decided to check it out. As soon as I entered the restaurant, I paid the fee. Dinner was only 880 yen per person... very affordable. I wasn't expecting much since it included all-you-can-drink, but I was pleasantly surprised. The menu included salad, simmered root vegetables, chirashi sushi, simmered eggplant, as well as Chinese dishes like mapo tofu and sweet and sour pork, and even pasta like spaghetti alle vongole... desserts like roll cake and steamed buns were also plentiful! Of course, they had kids' favorites like potatoes and fried chicken. In terms of taste, I personally found it delicious. I especially liked the sweet and sour pork, which had thick slices of meat. The curry was spicy and tasty as well. The drink selection was also great, with options like coffee, roasted green tea, Calpis, orange juice, and more. The Calpis tasted like it was made from the concentrate, and it was delicious. The clientele that day was diverse, with many solo diners. After all, being able to eat to your heart's content for only 880 yen is quite appealing! I would like to try their 680 yen lunch menu soon. I have definitely decided to come back to this place! Thank you for the meal!
