Pedro from the manga One Piece fulfilled his role, and Luffy's group survived, changing the world. I usually don't have any role except for during festivals and fire precautions. Before that, I replenished my stamina with Matsuya's Triple Eel Bowl! Eel One-Piece Bowl → 980 yen, Eel Two-Piece Bowl → 1680 yen, Eel Three-Piece Bowl → 2180 yen. Ordering the most cost-effective three-piece bowl was a good choice. It was delicious, and the sansho pepper was also good. #fulfilling roles #do it when it's time to do it #don't do it when it's not time to do it #thoroughly do it when it's time to do it #festival #stamina replenishment #eel bowl #Matsuya's eel bowl

I somehow stopped eating breakfast at the beef bowl restaurant and went to a nearby Matsuya instead. I ordered a mini beef bowl, mini miso soup, and a choice of side dish for 480 yen at the vending machine and paid with my smartphone. Among the beef bowl chains, Matsuya is the most casual and nice around here. You receive your order at the counter after your number is called. Both are mini sizes, but it's enough for breakfast. I like Matsuya's miso soup and being able to choose a side dish makes it a convenient breakfast option.

Today, I will work hard on miscellaneous tasks, which is rare (^◇^;) #Matsuya #MatsuyaBeefBowl #MatsuyaButAlsoEatingOtherThanBeefBowl #IfIHadToBeLuxuriousIWouldWantItSpicy

Curry and negi-tama don? lol I always end up ordering the one with lots of negi (green onions) (p＾ｪ＾q) The curry is a mild curry flavor haha. I usually like spicy spiced curry, but I also like this curry haha. A negi-tama don with lots of negi, egg, and pickled ginger haha. The good thing about Matsuya is that it comes with miso soup lol.

My partner wanted to eat a black truffle hamburger, so we went to the Matsuya beef bowl chain. It had been over a year since we last visited the Ebisucho branch. It is a place where you order at a machine and receive your food at the counter. The price for the truffle hamburger was surprisingly high at 890 yen. However, the sauce was rich and delicious. The hamburger itself was quite substantial and paired well with the rice when mixed with the sauce. While Matsuya may seem expensive at this price point, it is much better than other family restaurants.

I tried Matsuya's Black Truffle Hamburger Steak, following the example of ( ・∇・). I haven't been to beef bowl chains to eat set meals, so I had been ignoring Matsuya's hamburgers, but... oh my! It's delicious! It's even better than the hamburger steaks at family restaurants, or maybe it just suits my taste. It's made with 100% beef, maybe that's why. The black truffle sauce is rich and incredibly tasty. I feel like I want some white wine! It goes well with the potatoes laid out in the iron pot. I have an unsophisticated palate, so I thought it tasted similar to the white radish with porcini mushrooms. Even though one has porcini and the other has truffle. They both have the commonality of a fragrant mushroom sauce. It would probably be even better if I got it as a single item for takeout and enjoyed it with white wine at home. If there's leftover sauce, I could dip sausages in it or spread it on bread. The Black Truffle Sauce Beef Hamburger Steak is 890 yen (tax included). On a side note, the hojicha tea from the self-serve machine was weak, so I decided to compare it to cold water, haha.

I had breakfast at Matsuya Tsutenkaku store near Ebisucho Station. The standard morning set meal with cold tofu for 360 yen and a small draft beer for 190 yen. I think it's a great value to be able to eat and drink for only 550 yen. The beer is just a regular beer and the cold tofu is not bad. Also, I wish that Tabelog would categorize reviews for morning meals as well, not just for lunch and dinner. Morning services should also be recognized.

Today's lunch is at "Matsuya Tsutenkaku Store", located right near the Naniwa Police Station. The purpose this time is to eat the "Gorogoro Simmered Chicken Curry", which has been revived for a limited time! This Matsuya is a bit different from other stores, as you purchase a meal ticket at the ticket machine, then wait at your seat until your number is displayed on the monitor, similar to a highway rest area. When your number is called, you go to the counter to receive your curry. It's been a while since I had the Gorogoro Simmered Chicken Curry, but the satisfying texture of the chicken combined with the well-spiced curry roux is irresistible. I really think the "Gorogoro Simmered Chicken Curry Regular Vegetable Salad Set 680 yen" is a great deal. And as always, the miso soup that comes with every order is impressive and goes well with the curry. Thank you for the meal!

I tried the Georgian dish called Shkmeruli pot that I had been curious about for a while. I was a bit hesitant because I heard it was spicy or had a lot of garlic, but I decided to go for it. Contrary to my worries, it wasn't spicy or overwhelmingly garlicky, and it was delicious. However, being someone with a sensitive tongue, I had to blow on it while eating because it was very hot. It was as hot as noodles with thick sauce, or even hotter, and it stayed hot for a long time.

The Matsuya restaurant at the Tsutenkaku store has been renovated into a self-service store. Customers purchase their order through a ticket machine, which automatically sends the order to the kitchen. When their number is called, customers can pick up their food and return their dishes to the return counter after finishing their meal. Water and tea are also self-service. This change has made Matsuya, which used to require a lot of manual labor for cooking, now operate with a one-person system. #Matsuya #self-service store #prices remain the same #likely to increase in the future #Tsutenkaku

Title: "Winter 2019 Youth 18 Ticket Western Japan Trip Part 6: Shukumelri Sold Out" On the second day of the Winter 2019 Youth 18 Ticket Western Japan Trip, we decided to use it for dinner. We heard that the Shukumelri set meal was being sold at the Tsutenkaku store, so we decided to check it out. As of January 27, 2020, the Shukumelri set meal is available nationwide, but at that time it was considered a "phantom menu" only available at a few stores nationwide. When we arrived at the store on Saturday at 7 PM, there were about 5 customers ahead of us. This store was a self-service type within the Matsuya chain. You purchase a meal ticket at the machine, which then notifies the staff, and when the meal is ready, your number is displayed on a digital board overhead with an audio announcement. To our disappointment, we couldn't find the Shukumelri set meal anywhere. It seemed to be sold out. We ended up ordering a beef bowl set with salad and a hot spring egg for 490 yen. It was a budget-friendly dinner in Osaka Minami. Our number was called in just 2 and a half minutes. The salad mainly consisted of shredded cabbage with various dressing options. The miso soup was a bit bland, so we added some shichimi spice for flavor. Finally, the beef bowl with a hot spring egg on top was served. The beef was a bit bland compared to other chains, but the option to add your own sauce was a plus. Mixing the hot spring egg with the beef and rice made for a delicious combination. Although the Shukumelri set meal turned out to be a disappointment, we were satisfied with the cost savings and the quality of the meal. Matsuya accepts PayPay, and we even received a 7 yen bonus on this visit.

I heard about a dish called "Shukumeli" that I had never heard of before, available at the fast food chain "Matsuya," and for some reason, I felt like I wanted to try it. I found out that it is available at some locations in Osaka, and decided to go to the "Matsuya Tsutenkaku Store" after watching a movie at Shinsekai Toei. It is served as a "Shukumeli hot pot set meal" with rice, miso soup, and salad. However, I didn't really need the salad or miso soup, as I had done some research on what Shukumeli is and it didn't seem like they would go well with it. I was impressed that "Matsuya" serves a lesser-known foreign dish in Japan, but it's also typical of them to serve miso soup with everything. However, I was relieved to find out that Shukumeli is also available as a standalone dish. It was my first time trying Shukumeli. It didn't come out as quickly as gyudon or curry, but when it finally arrived, it was piping hot. It appeared on a cast-iron pot with a solid fuel burner underneath. The setup may take some effort, and heating it up also takes time. But when I tried it, it was delicious. I had done some research on what kind of dish it was, and it not only met my expectations but exceeded them. I was wondering about the satsumaimo (sweet potato), but it worked well. The dish consists of chicken cooked with garlic, sour cream, salt, and oil, which is a Georgian cuisine. It's kind of like a stew, or more like throwing chicken into a hot cheese fondue. The addition of sweet potatoes and cheese topping might be a "Matsuya" twist. I thought maybe more sour cream could have come through, but overall, I was very satisfied. I also felt a sense of satisfaction from trying something unusual. The only downside is that it is a limited-time offer, and it is scheduled to end on December 15, 2019, just two days from when I am writing this. It's a shame that it's only available for a short period and at a limited number of locations. If you have the chance to try it, I highly recommend it.

I stayed at a nearby hot spring facility, but the breakfast there was expensive so I went to Matsuya instead. By the way, there is also a udon restaurant called Matsuya in Jangjang Alley, but it seems unrelated. It seems that the impact of the consumption tax increase is starting to show. Cashless payments like PeiPei will give you back a certain amount if you have a balance, but older people who don't know about this end up losing out. Matsuya is a reliable taste wherever you go.
