Every Saturday, I have lunch with my partner, and this time we went to a slightly upscale sushi restaurant for our first stop. After holding back a bit there, I ended up feeling even hungrier, so we decided to go for a second round. My partner suggested going to "Kaisendon Hinode," a place famous for its seafood bowls. Located in a narrow street in Yakuin, we parked at a nearby coin parking lot and entered the small restaurant. Although the space was small, it seemed normal for Yakuin, considering the high rent in the area. As I entered, I remembered that there was also a branch in the underground of Hakata Station, which I had visited a few times before.
The interior had counter seats and table seats, making it suitable for small groups or even solo diners. The menu was extensive, and since I had just eaten sushi, I was eager to eat more, triggering my appetite. I ordered the Hokkaido Oyakodon with miso soup (upgraded to tonjiru) and added Chawanmushi. The bowl was filled with my favorite ingredients like ikura, salmon, scallops, shirako, and crab claws. The rice was also served in a large portion. It didn't feel like a typical second stop (laughs). The best part was that rice refills were free!
Moreover, there was a self-service corner for unlimited pickles. I ordered beer, so I enjoyed the pickles as a snack. The seafood bowl was not the only item on the menu; they also offered set meals, fried dishes, grilled fish, sashimi set meals, and more. Soon, the seafood bowl arrived, looking incredibly delicious. The presentation was also top-notch, with a variety of fresh and tasty toppings. The warm rice complemented the sashimi well, and while the fish may not have been top-grade, it was still delicious. The self-service pickles and the option to make ochazuke with free dashi for the finish were impressive features.
Considering the popularity and authenticity of the place, I can see why it's a hit. It seems like they also focus on delivery and takeout services like Uber Eats. I would love to visit again for lunch. It was a delightful meal!
