Before going to see the tulips, we decided to grab a bite to eat. We were aiming for the popular omelette rice, but it seems they are temporarily closed due to avian influenza. What a shame! However, we were impressed by the juicy hamburger. The shrimp onion garlic spaghetti and bacon basil spaghetti were also delicious with perfectly cooked noodles. We definitely want to visit this restaurant again. Next time, I hope to try the omelette rice!

I really wanted to eat Napolitan, so I went to Yokoyama in Yubetsu. This place is a hidden gem of a Western-style restaurant known for its delicious omurice and pasta. The pension-like atmosphere is very stylish. I was tempted by the daily special hamburger, but I stuck to my original plan and ordered the Napolitan. The ingredients include large pieces of onions and green peppers that add a nice texture. It also has mushrooms, bacon, and a half-cooked egg on top. The ketchup's acidity is just right and delicious. When you mix it with the yolk, it adds a richness that is really nice. I heard they also have curry on some days as a special. I hope to try it out on a curry day.

The Western-style lunch is delicious.

It was a random shop I walked into, but surprisingly the food was delicious. Both the omelette and spaghetti were really good. I felt so relaxed. Thank you for the meal.

Traveling alone on a two-day trip to Abashiri in August 2017, leaving my wife at home. As for my mistress... hehe ♡ I decided to collect stamps at various roadside stations along the way, starting from the Asahikawa Monbetsu Expressway and getting off at the Ukishima IC to head towards Takinoue Town. From Takinoue Town to Monbetsu City to Yubetsu Town, I drove my car and had lunch at "Yokoyama" where I had a Western meal. Since I planned to have seafood for dinner in Abashiri, I opted for a non-seafood option for lunch. The restaurant was located in an unusual location along the national highway, with no other buildings around. It looked like a normal house from the outside. Inside, they had a spacious dining area set up like a living room, with mood music playing. I thought this place would be great for private parties, but how would the locals from Monbetsu or Yubetsu get home after drinking? They would either need a designated driver or just call a taxi. The special omurice I ordered had an outstanding demi-glace sauce that I had never tasted before. It seemed to be based on red wine, with a strong acidity and rich flavor. It was delicious. The only downside was finding mushrooms (which I don't like) hidden in the ketchup rice. The decision to have a Western meal instead of seafood for lunch turned out to be a good choice. The three middle-aged women at the neighboring table were having a lively conversation. The owner, who was running the place alone, had to dash back and forth between the tables and the kitchen, which affected the overall atmosphere. It might help if he wore shoes with less noisy soles.

◆November 2016◆ As the season with snow arrives, making it difficult to go far, it's a good time to actively visit nearby delicious restaurants. So, for lunch, I visited Yokoyama, a Western-style restaurant in Yubetsu Town. I ordered the special omurice that had caught my eye since last time. The fluffy egg topped with a rich dark demi-glace sauce looked amazing. Just by looking at it, I knew it was going to be delicious. I scooped up a bite of rice, egg, and sauce. Wow, this sauce... incredibly delicious! It had a slight sweetness and a wonderful red wine flavor. It was a bit of a shocking deliciousness. The rice inside was chicken rice with the texture of onions still there. The portion was generous, and I was completely satisfied. Undoubtedly the most delicious omurice I've ever eaten. It's about 20 kilometers from Mombetsu, so I want to actively visit during the winter season and try all the dishes. Highly recommended Western-style restaurant. ◆June 2014◆ On the way from Yubetsu to Mombetsu, there is a European-style house surrounded by trees. It had always caught my attention, and it turns out that this place is a delicious Western-style restaurant serving pasta and omurice. This time, on my way back to Mombetsu, I decided to visit. The interior of the restaurant is spacious with a high ceiling. The floors and tables are dark wood, and the walls are white. Piano jazz music plays in the background, creating a stylish atmosphere like a villa. [Regarding the menu] The lunch menu has a small variety: - Special omurice - Pasta (6 types) - Today's lunch special (changes daily) They also offer coffee, tea, and dessert. Apparently, they only operate by reservation at night, so you can probably enjoy authentic Western cuisine there as well. [Today's lunch] I was torn between omurice and pasta, but decided to order today's lunch. It included: - Scallop cream pasta - Smoked salmon salad - Garlic toast The salad was served on a large plate with a good portion. The dressing was delicious. The garlic toast was beautifully presented, something I had never seen before. Even with a simple menu, they put effort into the presentation. The main pasta dish was also generous in portion. It had a cream sauce with scallops, spinach, and mushrooms, sprinkled with black pepper on top. The pasta was chewy and delicious, blending well with the sauce. The atmosphere of the restaurant was great, the owner was friendly and kind. Above all, the food was delicious. I've discovered a good restaurant. I look forward to stopping by for lunch whenever I go to Mombetsu.

The Western-style restaurant run by one person takes a bit of time from ordering to serving, so please be patient. But what comes out will not disappoint you. I always order the omurice. They have demiglace sauce, but they also make a regular omurice. The chicken rice is delicious, so the omurice here is unbeatable. Although curry is not always on the menu, it's addictive. And of course, the pasta is delicious. You won't regret it for sure.

I came to Yubetsu and thought it would be a good idea to have a meal since I'm here. I don't want udon, there's no soba, and the ramen doesn't seem tasty. Oh, there was that Western-style restaurant I've been curious about. Leaving Yubetsu and heading towards Mombetsu, after a few kilometers, I started to worry, "Can they survive in a place like this?" I even mentioned, "Maybe they closed down?" When I arrived, there was a sign saying "Preparing." Preparing means they are actually open, so I felt relieved. I had to wait for about 30 minutes. The background music in the car today is Kobukuro, and my wife is humming along. I can't wait for it to open. The atmosphere here is nice, and I've been curious about this place for a while. Initially, I was worried unnecessarily, but they seem to be doing well. The fact that they are still open and trying hard means they must be getting customers. A little mysterious. It's 11:00 now, but there was no sign of anyone inside. It's not opening. "Maybe they're closed today?" my wife said. "Then, why don't you call them?" I replied. "We should have called from the beginning," she said. So I made the call. "No one is answering the phone... Um, what time do you open today? Oh, I see. Okay, thank you." I hung up. "They said they'll open around 11:10, so let's wait a bit," I told my wife. The phone was answered by a nice guy, my wife commented. "There's no lady answering!" I couldn't say that. At the appointed time, they finally opened. The sign now says "Open." We went in. The place is quite spacious. The tables are arranged comfortably. Even if they put more tables, they probably couldn't handle it. The place is cold, with a wood stove. The indoor temperature is 15 degrees. There are also rooms on the second floor, but I don't know how they are used. The background music is piano, creating a nice atmosphere. No, my wife doesn't play the piano. She's more suited for the cymbals. The pasta arrived after about 20 minutes. It looks delicious. The pasta is hot, as it should be. The ingredients are of good quality. The black pepper aroma is nice. The clams are surprisingly good. The shrimp is average. The sauce is not overpowering but lacks a bit of depth. A touch of blue cheese flavor would have been perfect. The pasta is undeniably delicious. I was pleasantly surprised to have such pasta here. The lunch also looks great. The presentation shows a great sense of style. The hamburger is topped with an egg, not cheese as my wife thought. The hamburger is tough and slightly burnt on the surface. The sauce is too strong. The side dishes are visually appealing and delicious. The only problem is the rice. It's not tasty. This place is definitely a pasta restaurant. The pasta is more than enough, my wife ate more than half of it. The portion of the pasta is impressive. I would prefer if the price could be kept under 1,000 yen considering the portion size. I would rate the pasta 4.0 and the lunch 3.3. My wife was a bit annoyed that they didn't apologize for the wait. She's becoming more outspoken lately. Maybe she's louder than me now? I was thinking of making this place the milestone, but I guess not. Just keep up the good work.

I have used this restaurant several times, and even after a long time, the taste was just as good as before! The menu is limited, but every dish has an authentic taste. This time, I went with my 5-year-old child, thinking that one portion would be too much for them, so I shared my meal with them. However, they kept asking for more and more, and it wasn't enough. Next time, I plan to order a full portion for my child as well. It's a shame that this restaurant isn't closer to my home, as I would love to enjoy some drinks there too.

Omurice 1000 =========== "Omurice 1000" is the name of the restaurant.
