Today's restaurant is Koyoken. The season has finally arrived. It feels a bit early, but I had cold noodles today. It was quite delicious with plenty of ingredients. I wonder what the difference is between cold noodles and cold noodles... It has nothing to do with real estate...

An old-fashioned Chinese restaurant. The interior is very clean and nice. The menu has a lot of options so you won't get bored and can keep coming back. I have visited several times and everything I have tried is delicious. My favorite is the fried rice, it's moist and incredibly tasty. I also tried the curry fried rice which was perfectly seasoned and delicious. I ordered a small portion and it was only 450 yen, great value for money. The fried noodles are also delicious, overall a great restaurant. I definitely want to go back. The fried rice is just so good.

I visited after a long time and it was still delicious. The prices are low and I am very satisfied.

Opening a new branch office and being on a long-term business trip to Osaka for a month and a half. Across the street from the office is a Chinese restaurant, which is the only dining option within a 5-minute walk. I frequented this restaurant 4-5 times a week, totaling around 20-30 visits during my stay. When it comes to whether the food is delicious or not, the best way to describe it would be "average." However, this consistency in providing "average" food was the reason I kept coming back. If the food was bad, I would never return, but if it was exceptionally delicious for a few days in a row, I might get tired of it. Providing consistently "average" food is crucial, as I realized during my stay. The taste of the sweet and sour pork sauce varied slightly each day, sometimes stronger or weaker in acidity, but I enjoyed the anticipation of what the taste would be like each day. For me, the ideal taste was a bit stronger in flavor and acidity. Another unique perspective I had as someone not from the area was the difference in Chinese cuisine flavors based on the region. Not the typical Beijing versus Cantonese differences, but rather the difference between Tokyo and Osaka, Kanto and Kansai. As someone who grew up in Kansai, the flavors at this restaurant were nostalgic for me. The main differences between Kanto and Kansai flavors include the sweet and sour taste in dishes like sweet and sour pork, the sauce for Tianjin rice, and the absence of small shrimp tempura at Kanto Chinese restaurants. Even at Gyoza no Ohsho, the flavors are adjusted to suit the Kanto style. As a result, the most frequently ordered dishes were sweet and sour pork, mixed vegetables, and small shrimp tempura in the Chinese bento, followed by Tianjin rice and Tianjin noodles. In other words, I was able to enjoy the taste of "nostalgic memories." The homemade dumplings with handcrafted filling were delicious, but the strong garlic flavor made me refrain from ordering them during work hours. Despite my personal fondness for them, I didn't order them often for that reason. The restaurant also offered extra rice and refills for set meals, and a complimentary furikake seasoning. Since I eat a lot of rice, I tend to have more rice with each bite of side dishes compared to others. Sprinkling furikake on the rice would leave me with leftover side dishes and a need for more rice, so I rarely used it. However, when I did try it, I found the furikake to be delicious and another nostalgic taste experience. I am already looking forward to revisiting this restaurant on my next business trip.

I recently moved to Yao and I'm looking for delicious restaurants in my new area. I found a Chinese restaurant that caught my eye with its takeout menu displayed outside. It reminded me of the good old days when Gyoza no Ohsho used to be popular for its affordable and tasty dishes. The menu showed that their ramen is only 480 yen, which is a steal! When trying out a new Chinese restaurant for the first time, I always order fried rice as it's a good indicator of the overall quality. The fried rice here had a nice homemade taste, but I personally prefer it with more chunks of juicy char siu. I also tried their gyoza, which came in a serving of 6 pieces and had a light flavor. I prefer gyoza with a richer meat filling. I'll have to try other dishes like set meals next time. I'm thinking of bringing my family along for the next visit!

The simple mapo don was delicious.
