In August of the 5th year of Reiwa, Yoshinoya offers a 24-hour service for their delicious beef bowl with extra sauce for just 448 yen including tax. The flavor is consistent and the pickled ginger complements the dish well. Despite a recent price increase, the quality of this meal for less than a coin is still excellent in terms of cost performance.

In the holiday season of Christmas, I had a craving for a solo lunch at Yoshinoya, and I chose the beef bowl. The store in Ebisucho is always empty for some reason. The large size costs 613 yen and arrived in no time. I had heard negative comments about Yoshinoya running out of meat recently, but maybe they raised the prices because my bowl was generously filled with meat. The broth wasn't too watery and the beef was cooked perfectly. I'm satisfied with this bowl. I just can't stay away from beef bowls. I'll have to eat them regularly.

"Yoshinoya Ebisumachi branch" I visited for breakfast again at 9 am. Nebari Toro Gyudon 598 yen, Cold sake 315 yen excluding tax. This Nebari Toro Gyudon was even more delicious than I expected. It is a menu where toppings such as natto, okra, tororo, and egg are added to a regular size beef bowl. A menu with a slippery and stamina-filled texture centered on sticky ingredients. It tastes even better when mixed well to increase the slippery feeling. The sweet beef is a nice accent. It was a good breakfast.

Visited Yoshinoya Ebisumachi store at 9 am for breakfast. Ordered the Nebari Toro Gyudon for 598 yen and a cold sake for 315 yen, excluding tax. The Nebari Toro Gyudon was even more delicious than I expected. It's a Gyudon with toppings like natto, okra, grated yam, and egg. The menu features slimy ingredients that are both refreshing and filling. When mixed well, the slimy texture enhances the flavor. The sweet beef is a nice touch. I want to eat it again.

Title "2019 Autumn Western Japan Big Touring Part 7, The Curry I Ate in the Curry Town was..." On the third day of the September 2019 Western Japan Big Touring, we used it for dinner. We left the Hiroshima Hatsukaichi's Kaikatsu CLUB Hatsukaichi store at 4 am and had breakfast at Sukiya 2 Okayama Hayashima store at 8 am. Right after that, we stopped by the "Pokapoka Onsen" super public bath in Okayama, and arrived in Osaka at 2:30 pm. After taking care of some errands and returning to the parking lot, we found a Yoshinoya restaurant. We arrived at the restaurant at 5:45 pm, with 3 customers already inside and 2 staff members working. Walking from the Nipponbashi area to Ebisumachi, I saw many curry restaurants along the way. The electric town of Nipponbashi in Osaka had become a "curry town" with many curry shops. There were many interesting restaurants, but when I looked at the prices and the atmosphere inside the restaurants, I hesitated. In the end, we arrived at Yoshinoya near the boundary line between Nipponbashi area and Shinsekai area, and decided to eat curry there. We ordered the Spicy Chicken Curry for 550 yen and added the A set for 150 yen, making the total 700 yen. The menu is displayed excluding tax, but it is very difficult to read. Since they started displaying prices excluding tax, my desire to use Yoshinoya has greatly decreased. The curry arrived in about 3 minutes after ordering! Yoshinoya's curry is periodically renewed, sometimes white, sometimes black, sometimes normal. The Spicy Curry this time was different from the thick and sticky curry I had before, it was a lightly spicy curry, closer to Indian curry. It had the most authentic spice flavor among Yoshinoya's curries, and it felt spicier than before. Previously, it was similar to the curry at "Hanamaru Udon", but this time it was closer to the curry at "Matsuya". The rice was hidden under the curry and chicken, and was not very visible. The ratio of curry was high, so even if you eat a lot of curry, you can easily finish it. The rice itself was normal and didn't leave much of an impression. The amount of rice was equivalent to a bowl, so I think it was quite a lot. How about the "Chicken" in the curry? In the same bowl, there was chicken placed separately from the curry. The chicken was not soaked in curry, it felt like they boiled and cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and put it on the curry rice. The chicken seemed to be boiled rather than grilled, and had a soft texture with some moisture, so it tasted quite good when eaten with the curry. However, I felt it could be a little more delicious. A set When you order the A set, you get a salad and miso soup. You can choose between sesame or soy dressing for the salad, and I chose sesame. The salad was made of shredded cabbage and corn. The miso soup was served by a machine and had a little bit of seaweed and green onions in it. The miso flavor was light. Overall, the Spicy Curry was pretty good. If you add the A set and the total price is 700 yen, it's reasonable. I felt that the chicken could have been a bit better, and adding an extra 200 yen for it seemed a bit much. If it were 150 yen more, it would have been more reasonable, but at 200 yen, it was a bit... I wished they could refine the taste and quantity a little more. After that, we arrived at the parking lot. We left around 6:20 pm and headed east towards Nara on Route 25. We rode on the night Hanshin Expressway aiming to arrive in Mie Prefecture, specifically Yokkaichi, by 9 pm. (2019.9.14)

For lunch that day, I decided to visit Yoshinoya after a long time. I have fond memories of when a bowl of beef bowl used to cost only 250 yen, or when there was a time we couldn't eat beef bowls due to mad cow disease. Now, a regular beef bowl costs 380 yen (tax included), and adding a salad set makes it 510 yen (tax included). Yoshinoya's beef bowl is still my favorite taste. I particularly like the sesame dressing on the salad. I found out when paying that Yoshinoya now also offers T-Point rewards. Thank you for the meal.

I tried eating Gyudon with sukiyaki sauce‼️ It's kind of meh haha. The Kyoto leeks are getting in the way and the taste is better with just regular Gyudon‼️ It tastes better if you add a soft-boiled egg for a different flavor, but Gyudon is still tastier‼️ Haha笑笑

I had a sudden craving to eat.

I had salted green onion chicken rice bowl.

Yoshigyu said he likes Yoshinoya, so I asked if he wanted me to buy it for him. He was happy, so it was my first time doing takeout. I didn't know how to order, so I read out the order instructions I had asked in advance. I stumbled a bit, but ordered a regular beef bowl with extra sauce and a raw egg for 440 yen. Yoshigyu ordered a regular beef bowl for 380 yen with extra red ginger. I heard that the red ginger is important. Since it was my first time, I just ordered a regular one. It seems like the rice doesn't get too soggy even with extra sauce. Next time, I'll try the extra sauce too. It's great that you can get full for only 380 yen!

The spring momentum seems to have disappeared. The Rakuten Eagles are on a muddy 10-game losing streak, dropping to 3rd place and out of the championship race. Key players are sidelined with injuries, unable to break free from the negative flow. In the game against the Hawks on the 3rd, pitcher Takahiro Norimoto's passionate pitching did not pay off as they lost in a walk-off. Norimoto broke down in tears on the mound, showing the pain of defeat. Today, I headed to Nipponbashi 5-chome in Naniwa Ward, Osaka, without a specific destination in mind. I stumbled upon "Yoshinoya Ebisumachi Store" on Sakai-suji, which seemed to have some available seats, so I decided to give it a try. - Barley and Beef Bowl Set (580 yen) The menu was extensive, making it hard to choose, but I opted for the barley and beef bowl set that was advertised on the storefront flag. The barley rice was topped on regular white rice, and then mixed with grated yam soup. There was also a side dish of okra, which was a nice addition. I mixed the okra into the barley rice halfway through, enhancing the slimy texture. Finally, I added the beef and onions from the beef bowl, creating a lively and flavorful bowl. It was a satisfying meal. Thank you. As I walk on the path of self-improvement, I end without regrets.

I came during my break at work! Yoshinoya in Nihonbashi! It's been a while since I last came and I was a little torn between ordering something other than beef bowl since they have so many options on the menu, but I ended up ordering the beef bowl (laughs). Yoshinoya's beef bowl is still delicious! You can't talk about beef bowls without Yoshinoya. Thank you for the meal! Located 2 minutes walk from Ebisucho Station, 37m from Ebisucho Station. Open 24 hours, serving breakfast, lunch, allowing entry after 10pm, allowing entry after 12am, operating until the first train, open on Sundays, closed on no specific days. No parking available. Cozy atmosphere, counter seats available.

Yoshinoya is the place to go for beef bowls! I recently had a beef bowl at a Yoshinoya location in Nihonbashi Denden Town. While I usually opt for the beef sukiyaki bowl due to its affordability, this time I decided to go for the regular beef bowl priced at 380 yen. It was delicious as always - the meat was tender and flavorful. Yoshinoya used to only offer beef bowls, but now they have a variety of set meals and bowls on their menu. However, nothing beats their classic beef bowl. I left the restaurant feeling completely satisfied.

As usual, I borrowed a lot of Korean drama DVDs at the Nihonbashi GEO and decided to have a meal nearby at the Joto Curry Nihonbashi store, which I had never been to before. I ate a large serving of pork cutlet curry, but my stomach was not satisfied, so I ended up eating more at Yoshinoya (laughs). When I arrived at Yoshinoya, I saw a sign for "Gyudon for 280 yen." I was surprised to see "Gyudon!?" but decided to go inside anyway. As I sat at the counter and looked at the menu, I saw that they only had three options: "Gyudon regular size for 380 yen, large size for 480 yen, special size for 630 yen," "Beef and salmon set meal for 500 yen, beef and salmon salad set meal for 580 yen." Only three options! Where are the pork bowls? Where is the beef yakiniku bowl? Where is the pork ginger set meal? Yoshinoya, which already had a small menu, was losing out to other rival stores that increased their menu options to hedge risks and increase sales. And now Yoshinoya is further reducing its menu options. I understand that focusing on individual items can increase profit margins by reducing costs. However, even if profit margins increase, if the number of customers and sales decrease, the profit will also decrease. Where are you going, Yoshinoya? You might really end up failing! I understand that you can make delicious beef bowls by focusing on individual items in large quantities. But that's not the way! It's great to stick to your beliefs and persist in your thinking even if it means operating at a loss. But that's not it! You need to listen to the voices of your customers. Overall rating: 5, Food/Taste: 5, Service: 5, Atmosphere: 5, Value for money: 6.

At the end of 2009, as major chains began lowering the prices of gyudon (beef bowl), Yoshinoya also decided to hold a "¥80 off gyudon" campaign from January 11th to 21st to celebrate its 111th anniversary (regular price of ¥380 reduced to ¥300 for a regular serving). In an effort to reduce dining out costs, my family visited the JP Home Namba showroom, then decided to grab a meal at Yoshinoya before heading to Imamiya Ebisu Shrine. The shrine is famous nationwide, but the annual Toka Ebisu Festival at the bustling Imamiya Shrine in Osaka attracts a million visitors over three days. Despite visiting on the last day, the streets leading to the shrine from Namba Station were filled with numerous stalls. Arriving at Yoshinoya amidst the hustle and bustle felt like finding an oasis. Unlike Sukiya, Yoshinoya's discount was only for a 10-day campaign, so the displayed price remained ¥380 for a regular serving. The Ebisu store, a two-story building, seated us on the second floor even though it was 2 p.m. Perhaps the campaign was drawing more customers. Finally, the moment of truth arrived - the large gyudon with extra sauce (¥480 reduced to ¥400). While the meat seemed slightly drier than before, it was still delicious. Sukiya, which has been in the spotlight for discounts recently, uses lean Australian beef with a firmer texture, while Yoshinoya sticks to fatty American beef belly. The seasoning, which reportedly includes wine, contributes to Yoshinoya's unique flavor. According to newspapers, the American beef used by Yoshinoya costs 1.5 times more than Sukiya's Australian beef due to import restrictions related to BSE. After enjoying our meal at Yoshinoya, we ventured back into the bustling streets. Known as a god who brings happiness from the distant sea and is revered as a god of fishing, prosperity, and good fortune, we prayed for business success, household safety, and good health at the Ebisu Shrine before heading home.

When I was a child, I often saw Yoshinoya's commercial saying "Gyudon all the way for 80 years~♪". Later on, Kinikuman appeared on TV singing a parody of the commercial with "Gyudon all the way for 300 years~♪", which became more famous. Even though Yoshinoya had been recognized by children for over 30 years, back then it was seen as a place for "adult men" so I never went. However, when I finally tried Yoshinoya's Gyudon during my student days, I was impressed and thought, "This is something even Kinikuman would enjoy." The long-awaited Ebisucho store has opened and I often go there to eat. Yoshinoya is definitely the place for Gyudon! I also love their Gyunabe-don and Gyukimchi Kuppa. Looking forward to more delicious Gyudon in the future!

I was walking from JR Shin-Imamiya Station towards my favorite restaurant in Den-Den Town in Nipponbashi, Osaka. It wasn't lunchtime yet, but I knew that after 12 o'clock, all the restaurants would start getting crowded, so I decided to stop at a convenient place. That's when I noticed the Yoshinoya Ebisucho store. I don't usually eat beef bowls, but I wanted to try the one with curry sauce that they had. I ordered the one with half beef and half curry for ¥540. It wasn't the cheapest option, but the portion was decent. You could choose the spiciness level of the curry, and I went with the milder option. The curry didn't have a very deep flavor, but the beef was tender and flavorful. Overall, the taste was okay for the price. One thing that impressed me was when I needed to take my medicine after the meal, the staff quickly brought me a glass of water without me even asking. It was a thoughtful gesture that I appreciated.

I knew that Yoshinoya had set meals, but I didn't know they had sets. I'm not sure if the beef bowl + salad + miso soup set for 500 yen is cheap or expensive, but I ended up ordering it. This Yoshinoya location is a two-story building. When the first floor is crowded, they guide customers to the second floor. This time, I had my meal on the second floor. The food was nothing special, just the usual Yoshinoya fare. They are currently running a campaign where you can win discount coupons ranging from 50 yen to 100 yen with a scratch card. And even if you use a discount coupon, they give you another one, so it's a good deal during the campaign period! Thank you for the meal...
