After finishing my business in Otaru in August 2017, I went for lunch. I remembered that there were a few parking spaces in front of the restaurant from my visit many years ago, so I decided to stop by. There were already about 10 customers in a group, and all the other table seats were reserved, but they offered me a seat at the counter. I ordered the "fish lunch" from the lunch menu. The main dish was "Salad with plenty of alfonsino and vegetables", which came with salad, rice or bread, and a drink. Additionally, ordering from the lunch menu came with complimentary corn soup, so I ordered that as well. The counter seat was right in front of the kitchen, and the chef was very busy preparing dishes for the group. However, the chef worked quickly and efficiently, serving one dish after another. First, the soup was served, which had a smooth texture. Then, the salad, rice, and main fish dish arrived. It was a huge portion. The menu mentioned plenty of vegetables, and indeed, there were various sautéed summer vegetables, pickled vegetables, and a whole grilled tomato on top of the alfonsino. The vegetables were fresh and delicious, but the portion was overwhelming, overshadowing the fish. The hamburger lunch, made with only local beef, looked delicious too, with a generous amount of demiglace sauce poured over it. There were also customers ordering gratin and pasta separately, which also looked appealing. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.
