I ordered the "Hamburg steak set" at a restaurant, but they told me it would take 20 minutes to cook. I was curious about what kind of Hamburg steak it was, but I felt like they were telling me to order something else, so I ordered the daily special set meal (600 yen) instead. It was a bit shocking to see how much the food looked good for social media, but it tasted like a Showa era bento box. It felt like I experienced the Showa era for the first time in a while.

Before working at Edobori, I took a detour to have breakfast at "Yojouan" located on the basement floor of the 10th building of "Senbiru". The exterior of the restaurant looked plain and unimpressive. The name "Yojouan" is actually pronounced as "Youkiyan" instead of "Youjouan". I wondered if it was a pun or just a play on words. The menu was displayed on a slightly dirty white board outside the restaurant. The bold green marker-written message "Please enjoy breakfast!" seemed cheerful and lively. I thought maybe the owner of the restaurant was cheerful too. However, the most important thing for me was that breakfast only cost 350 yen. The breakfast set options included bacon and eggs, salted mackerel, and rolled omelette, all suitable for a morning meal. Additionally, you could also enjoy a cafe-style breakfast with coffee and toast or a hot sandwich. The signboard humorously emphasized "World of Nestle". I ordered the Bacon and Egg Awaji Nori Breakfast for 350 yen. It was freshly made with a side of seaweed and cabbage. I sprinkled salt on the bacon and eggs, and drizzled Caesar dressing on the cabbage. I appreciated the variety of condiments available, especially salt. However, I dislike putting soy sauce or sauce on my fried eggs, I prefer salt and pepper. Unfortunately, some restaurants only provide soy sauce or sauce on the table, which makes me feel a bit disappointed. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the meal. The seaweed added a nice touch, and the miso soup was flavorful. The owner, although not cheerful, was rather calm and gentle. He showed consideration by checking the portion size in the bowl, which I found kind. He was attentive and had a hospitable demeanor. Eating the homemade breakfast made me feel warm and content. I decided to revisit two days later and ordered the Rolled Omelette Set. It also came with seaweed, which made me happy. The rolled omelette was freshly cooked and had a mild seasoning that made me want to drizzle some soy sauce on it. By the way, it's not important, but for fried eggs, I use salt and pepper, while for rolled omelette, I use soy sauce (which may not matter to readers). The menu for lunch was also displayed outside the restaurant. The lunch options seemed more varied. A handwritten sign promoting the Aji Fry x 2 set had the catchy phrase "Dad, it'll fill you up." Oh, so the owner calls himself "Dad", although he doesn't really give off that vibe. I think "Old man" suits him better. The restaurant also serves canned beer in the evening. It could be a good place to enjoy a drink at night, but unfortunately, it's a non-smoking establishment, which may not be ideal for some. The small, compact space and the heat from the kitchen made it a bit warm inside. It might be tough during the hot summer months, but I think the owner has it harder than the customers. The restaurant seemed to have no entrance door, which might make it difficult to regulate the air conditioning. Despite not praising it much, I actually grew to like this place. The fact that breakfast only costs 350 yen, which is cheaper than some chain fast food restaurants, brings a certain joy that you can't find elsewhere. The joy of having the owner open the restaurant early in the morning and serving me a homemade meal, that's the kind of happiness this place brings. I look forward to revisiting again.

This is my first time here. It was a rainy morning, and I decided to have breakfast on a whim. The restaurant opened quite late, past the scheduled time of 7:30. There were no other customers. Water was self-serve. I had a Punivard tribe egg and kabaton bacon, which was delicious. The bacon and egg breakfast with Awaji seaweed was also very tasty.

On April 1, 5 years ago, around 11:50 am, the prices at the restaurant I visited had been revised. Given the current circumstances, it's understandable! When I arrived at the storefront and looked at the menu posted outside, I noticed that all the incredibly cheap set meals had been adjusted in price. Nevertheless, compared to other set meal restaurants, it is still very affordable! The efforts made by the management to reach this point are truly remarkable. Actually, I didn't just order the BBQ set meal right away. I really wanted to have the hamburger set meal. However, when I was told that the hamburgers were a bit... off, I decided to go for the fried chicken set meal. But then I was informed that the fried chicken was still frozen... Some people with short tempers might have just left the restaurant at that point, but I couldn't help but notice the wrinkles on the owner's face and the sadness hidden in their eyes. So, I asked if the BBQ set meal was available, to which they replied, "Yes." So, this time I had the BBQ set meal. Since it was a Saturday, the restaurant probably wasn't expecting a lot of customers. It may have been a desperate measure on their part. Or maybe they were fully prepared for any customers, to avoid food waste and losses. The restaurant is small, with only counter tables for about 7-8 people. The kitchen and plain interior are not particularly clean, and it's definitely not a place aimed at women. The BBQ set meal I was served was good, with thick slices of meat that weren't exactly typical BBQ meat but still tasty! It came with coleslaw and a rolled omelette. The coleslaw seemed homemade, but the rolled omelette looked like it came from a vacuum pack. It seems like R5 had increased their prices since February 1. I visited the same area for shopping last month and there are still many shops that are doing their best, with occasional events. This restaurant is one that you can't help but root for. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal!

It's April now, and this month, that place is finally opening. It seems like it will be tough, but I plan to post a preview on "Tabelog" in advance. For the March to April series, I will be doing a 20-round battle of one-coin lunches, Part 1. All 20 restaurants featured this time offer meals for 500 yen or less including tax. I want to focus on the opening of that place, so I will do Part 2 after Golden Week. One-Coin Lunch 20-Round Battle Part 1, Today's stop is "Yojouan" in Honmachi, Osaka. I ordered the daily special set for 500 yen, which includes ginger pork, hamburger, and rolled omelette.

The restaurant is located on the B1 floor of the Funabashi Center Building No. 10. When you enter the shop, there are only 7 counter seats. Here, I had the Funabashi Champon. Before long, the champon was brought to me. The ingredients include pork, cabbage, carrots, onions, greens, and other vegetables. The noodles are thick and straight. The soup is salty. It has a gentle and light salty flavor. The noodles slide smoothly into the soup. The taste of the pork and the sweetness and texture of the vegetables enhance the champon. You can also add black pepper to give it a spicy kick. Next time, I would like to try the set meal. Thank you for the meal.

A small restaurant with 7 counter seats. The daily special set meal, including tax, is a rare one-coin deal at 500 yen. The non-daily specials are also wallet-friendly at 550 yen. The messy menu sign outside the shop seems to say, "Don't worry about appearances, if you want to eat cheaply, come on in!" I like this kind of place. Intrigued by the phrase "Dad, make up your mind," I ordered the Tottori-produced horse mackerel fry set meal. I didn't really understand the special feeling of being Tottori-produced, but it was delicious, crispy and hot, fried after I ordered. It was being run by two elderly people, and I hope they continue to do their best while taking care of their health.

For the February monthly project, I will be running two series almost simultaneously: "GoTo Government Cafeteria" and "2022 500 Yen Lunch." These two can also share some content, and of course, I will continue with Tokyo topics. Today's order at "Yojouan" in Honmachi, Osaka, was the 500 yen daily special set meal: ginger pork, rolled omelette, and mini salted mackerel.

Before checking in at the hotel, it's a good idea to have lunch early. Breakfast is available from 300 yen, and lunch was only 500 yen. The menu listed pork ginger stir-fry and rolled omelette, with fried chicken and bacon stir-fried komatsuna next to it. I was puzzled at first, but it turned out you could choose either fried chicken or bacon stir-fried komatsuna as one of the three dishes. I chose the fried chicken. Apart from the daily lunch special, there were various other menu items available. The champon looked interesting, but I felt hesitant to order it for some reason. When the lunch arrived, I noticed you could choose your own dressing for the shredded cabbage. As I ate the fried chicken, it reminded me of the bento boxes I used to bring in high school. The rice was cooked perfectly, and it paired well with the side dishes. The miso soup was filled with plenty of ingredients and had a slight sweetness, probably from the vegetables. Everyone seemed to be ordering the daily lunch special. It was about half and half for those choosing the komatsuna and fried chicken.

I came here after hearing it was cheap. The 500 yen lunch set with 3 side dishes is quite good. The portion size for each dish is not large, but it is sufficient for lunch. It costs an extra 50 yen for a large serving of rice, but it's understandable given the price. ＜Lunch＞・Today's special set meal for 500 yen: Pork ginger, rolled omelette, shrimp fry.

I found a restaurant called "Yojouan" while wandering around to have lunch on the basement floor of the Shimbashi Center Building No. 10. I had the pork ginger and tamagoyaki lunch set with miso soup for 500 yen. The taste was average, but the rice was delicious and the portion was generous. A casual place to stop by for a set meal.

For today's breakfast during my business trip in Osaka, I decided to eat at "Yojouan" in the Senba Center Building No. 10 in Honmachi. The breakfast menu includes: - Bacon and egg with Awaji seaweed for 300 yen - Salted mackerel breakfast for 350 yen - Tamagoyaki breakfast for 300 yen - Curry rice for 300 yen Today, I chose to have the curry rice. The curry wasn't too spicy, making it suitable for everyone. It's great that you can enjoy breakfast for only 300 yen.

Today, I had to go to Honcho for work in the morning. I had a meeting in the morning, and I wasn't sure if I would be able to have lunch, so I decided to have breakfast beforehand. So, I visited Yojouan. This restaurant offers breakfast starting from 300 yen from 7:30 am to 10:00 am. I arrived at 7:30 am when the shop opened. There were no other customers. The owner was handling everything alone. I sat at the counter and placed my order. "Excuse me, I'll have the bacon and eggs, please." While watching the TV in the restaurant, I waited for about 4 minutes... And here it came! Breakfast! Miso soup, fresh vegetables, bacon and eggs, and Awaji nori seaweed! Just as I imagined! The owner placed various types of dressing and toppings in front of me. So, I dug in... The bacon and eggs were quite runny. I like to dip the seaweed in the yolk and wrap it around the rice. The miso soup had a bit less broth, but surprisingly a lot of ingredients. Lastly, I put the bacon and eggs on the rice, and enjoyed it until I finished it all. It wasn't incredibly delicious, but for 300 yen, it was reasonably satisfying. Thank you for the meal.

3G Lunch Series... Today's pick! G only... must avoid the 3 Cs... need to find a lunch spot... in a rush, so I thought I had conquered the Senba Center Building No. 10, but I missed this one... "Youkeian" (Yokuyan) Counter-only restaurant... no door... good ventilation... only two customers in front... can sit apart! Exciting! Looking at the menu again... very cheap!!! Great deal!!! Set meals for ¥550 ∑d(ﾟ∀ﾟd)ｫｩｨｪ!! Today's special set meal for ¥500... includes "ginger pork" and "rolled omelette" with a choice of "mini salted mackerel" or "potato croquette"! Awesome!!! And then, I noticed the "Senba Champon" for ¥500... with over 200g of 8 types of vegetables!!! Perfect for G who lacks vegetables! The advertisement says "From Nagasaki, sailed on a ship to Senba♪" The two Gs are working hard in the old-fashioned kitchen, ordering the "Senba Champon"... and after a while, it arrives! Indeed, a generous amount of vegetables! Komatsuna, bean sprouts, cabbage, carrots, Chinese cabbage... even the thick stems are included (*･∀･*)ｱﾊｯ The noodles are standard Chinese noodles, and surprisingly, the soup tastes good! Enjoying the meal in amazement... showing respect to the 2Gs, the savior of salarymen... Thank you for the meal! With this, completing the No. 10 Building feels great. Thank you!

The lunch is only 500 yen including tax, and they even serve breakfast in the morning. They also offer dinner at a very low price, with the 1st Press beer priced at 230 yen and Takara canned chu-hi at 140 yen. The compact restaurant has only about 6 or 7 counter seats, and the interior is filled with a homemade feel. They have around 3 or 4 types of store-bought dressings. I tried the daily 500 yen lunch, which was like homemade cooking by a cooking enthusiast, although some dishes were a bit strange in taste. But for 500 yen, you can't really complain. The low price is great, but the taste is another story. It might be paradise for those who believe that cheap prices are everything.

Today I had lunch here at a restaurant in the basement of the Fukuba Center Building 10. The surrounding eateries all have a similar design, but they offer different types of cuisine such as Chinese, cafe, and Japanese. I was a bit indecisive, but ended up choosing this place called Open. Lunch sets are priced at a flat rate of 500 yen. In the evenings, they serve canned beer, canned shochu highball, and canned highball with side dishes. The interior of the restaurant only has a counter with about 6 seats, making it a cozy place for a quick drink. The ginger pork set meal, as you can see, is very simple. It comes with potato salad, rolled omelette, and miso soup. The ginger flavor wasn't very strong, but there was something enjoyable about it, perhaps because I could see the efforts of the chef. Personally, I like this kind of place. I hope the owner and the restaurant continue to satisfy the appetites of salarymen like me. Thank you for the meal!

"Yoseian" Today's weekday lunch as usual. I heard there was a delicious lunch set at the 10th building of the Senba Center Building, so I went to try it out, but it was already sold out by 1:00 pm... ( ；∀；) I had no choice but to look for another place to eat on the same floor. On the way, I found a messy and dirty little shop. Out of curiosity, I decided to go in (⌒-⌒; ) The interior of the shop is just as old-fashioned as the exterior... The menu has a lot of options, but the recommended choice seems to be the service set meal (^^; It includes pork ginger stir-fry and rolled omelette as the main dishes. You can also choose a side dish from options like potato croquette or mini salted mackerel, so I chose the mini salted mackerel. After ordering, I noticed the old man cooking the ginger stir-fry, but there was no sizzling sound... (^_^;) When the food came out, I realized they were just reheating it... The main dishes, the ginger stir-fry and the rolled omelette, seemed to be handcrafted by the old man, but they tasted like a cheap hotel breakfast... The taste was neither good nor bad, just average... I asked for a smaller portion of rice from the beginning, so the amount of side dishes was sufficient and I quickly finished my meal... It cost 500 yen including tax, so if you think of it as a topic for a food review, there's nothing special to complain about... I think one visit is enough (^_^;) Thank you for the meal.

I found a restaurant in the underground food court on the basement floor of Building 10 in the Osaka Center Building, which is directly connected to Hommachi Station on the Midosuji Line, Hommachi Station and Sakaisuji Hommachi Station on the Chuo Line, and Sakaisuji Hommachi Station on the Sakaisuji Line along the Chuo Line. The area on the opposite side is the new "Funeba Chaya Koji" and "Funeba Okami Koji", but I am still drawn to the old area! I couldn't decide whether to go to Ko-umegai, Kyoraku, or Palette, all lined up across the street, but I finally decided on this one-coin lunch. The lunch includes tamagoyaki, ginger pork, and a choice of croquette or salt-grilled mackerel. The price is reasonable, considering the quality. The counter seating was full with 6 or 7 people, so I felt the shop was quite busy. The uncle behind the counter seemed to be working hard in the cramped kitchen. It's the kind of place where you would want to quickly finish your meal and give up your seat to the next person in line to help increase the uncle's income.

It was so satisfying! I feel like I ate something worth over 400 yen! Very useful☆
