When you enter the restaurant, cheerful staff welcome you with a smile. If you order the omurice, you'll be surprised by its size. It comes with stir-fried vegetables and miso soup with tofu and fish paste, which surprisingly tasted good. The omurice has a firm egg omelette, giving it a cafeteria-like feel. The dish is delicious with plenty of ketchup and the texture of the onions adds a nice touch. Although I could easily eat half of it, I felt full afterwards. I would like to try other dishes next time. I found a good cafeteria to enjoy a meal.

I happened to be near the restaurant at the right time for lunch. The curtain was always down when I wanted to go in, but this time it was up. It was a bit early for lunch, but I decided to go in anyway. There was only one customer before me. The restaurant had tables on the left side, which could seat about 8 people, and a raised platform on the right side with two tables for 4 people each. The staff seemed like a family and had a very friendly atmosphere. I ordered the tonkatsu set, but then they asked if I wanted to try the "Katsu Challenge" where you get 2 pieces of tonkatsu for almost the same price. I was intrigued and decided to take on the challenge. The tonkatsu was not my favorite type, and it was shaped in an oval form, but the cutting made it easy to eat. The best part of the meal was the stir-fried eggplant and minced meat side dish. If I were to go back, I would probably just order the regular tonkatsu set. Thank you for the meal.

I arrived at Asahikawa Airport on April 29, 2019 and stopped by here on my way to Obihiro without going back to my parents' house. I saw it in a magazine! I had the Buta-Tama Don for 700 yen. It was delicious with a fried egg on top of the pork bowl! The staff at Super Genki were energetic and fun!

Furano business trip lunch break. Lunch in Kami-Furano town. Today, I visited the first dining room in the town. As part of the "One Omurice in each city and town in Hokkaido" movement, I decided to try the Omurice in Kami-Furano town, which I had never had before. Today's lunch is, of course, Omurice. The first dining room. It has the atmosphere of an old-fashioned diner that used to be found in every town. It's calming, isn't it? It's important to be able to eat without feeling tense. I placed my order with the kitchen lady. Me: I'll have the Omurice, please. Restaurant: Sure, coming right up! Might as well go for the large serving. Many times I've been disappointed by ordering a large serving at a restaurant, so I'm not expecting much. Due to my job, I only have one piece of bread for breakfast at 4:30 am. My stomach is growling, so ordering a large serving shouldn't be a sin. Me: Um, I'll have the large serving, please. Restaurant: Sure thing! I've never seen a large Omurice like this in a long time. When I picked up the plate, it was heavy even considering the windbag effect. Anyway, let's confirm it by tasting it. The appearance is that of a traditional diner Omurice. The omelette is well-done. The ketchup rice is not chicken rice but finely chopped ham. The moist and voluminous ketchup rice is hitting me like a body blow. I finished it all. Maximum satisfaction from eating. I informed the male staff that I was ready to pay. Staff: Um, that'll be 750 yen. The large serving is an additional 100 yen, I see. I then reported to the kitchen lady, "I finished it all." To which she responded, "Oh, you ate everything?" I asked the kitchen lady how much rice is in this Omurice (large serving). She replied, "I don't know. It depends on my mood. I also recommend the pork cutlet curry." I love pork cutlet curry, so I was very curious. The local brand pork, Kamifura Pork, is not used due to cost reasons, but I hope they add it to the menu. An unexpectedly mega-sized serving. After this, I had dinner with my parents at home, and they were worried about my picky eating habits. (I didn't tell my parents about the Omurice.) When I sent a photo of the Omurice to my partner via email, I got scolded. (Since my partner doesn't listen, please scold them on social media.) Plan your visits wisely. Thank you for the meal.

It has been featured on TV and I have always wanted to visit. Since it is open all day, customers come one after another, and the cheerful owner's customer service is enjoyable.

I suddenly arrived in Kamifurano in April. There is not much snow left, but it is still cold in this northern region in April. The lavender season is still far away. It is a small town. Let's take a walk. It is a town where many Self-Defense Force personnel live. I bet they have lively nights like a sports club. Now, let's have lunch. Let's go into "Daiichi Shokudo" (First Dining). The interior has table seats and a raised tatami area. It seems to be run by a mother and a cute lady. The calligraphy on the walls is probably the work of that cute lady. In the good season, do many tourists from overseas visit here? There are English menu options. I was planning to have Stamina set or Gohin-tsuki set, but then I overheard someone saying that the tonkatsu they had yesterday was thick and delicious, so I changed my mind. I was torn. I even consulted the cute lady at the restaurant. In the end, I chose "Katsu Curry." It turned out to be completely different from what I had in mind. The curry is very homely, with chunks of potatoes. The tonkatsu that was being talked about was not freshly fried, seemed like a pre-made one, which was a bit disappointing. So, I tried adding some sauce for flavor and some spice because it lacked spiciness. But the portion was sufficient. So, I thought next time I'll try something else. Thank you for the meal.

After returning from a traverse of the Tokachi Range the day before, I arrived at Kamifurano Station from Biei Onsen on the first bus of the morning. On this day, with few shops open, I entered a nicely aged establishment called Daiichi Shokudo. Without hesitation, I ordered the miso ramen. The owner energetically repeated my order. There were two other customers, both elderly locals. They asked if I had seen their Twitter account, to which I replied that I hadn't. It seems the clientele who tweet about this place are nonexistent. The miso ramen made by the owner was quite delicious. Perhaps it was because I had come down from the mountains, but it was tasty. If this place were near my home, I would be at a loss for words, but in this northern land, it is quite good to eat with deep appreciation. After the meal, I was treated to an iced coffee. It transcended qualities like firmness, low oil, extra toppings, or spiciness. It was a cup beyond such things. It's interesting that only mountain hikers have written reviews here.

After the heavy snow and hiking in Tokachi, I stopped by this restaurant. Since I had over an hour until the airport bus, I visited the tourist information center in Kami-Furano Station for recommendations. It was only a few minutes from the station. The friendly landlady and her mother were working hard in the kitchen, while their daughter (around high school age) was relaxing in the store. I had the pork cutlet set meal, and even discounting it as my first meal in four days in civilization, it was delicious. But most of all, I enjoyed the casual and fun conversations with the elderly visitors to the restaurant. The casual chat with the landlady and the ripe tomatoes given by their friend (who seems to be a farmer) were also greatly appreciated. The tomatoes were so sweet and delicious because they were fully ripe, unlike those shipped to the city. They were amazing. I would love to visit again when I'm in the area. However, those with cat allergies should be cautious. As others have mentioned, it may not be a romantic date spot, but if a woman understands and appreciates this taste, it could lead to a happy home.
