I visited after a little break. Normally, there is a sign along the road, but it wasn't there this day. I thought they had closed. They had a daily sample at the entrance, so I checked it out and went in. I waited while drinking a free drink. The menu, aside from the daily special, has not increased in price, which is great! It's a smoking establishment, so there are many smokers. If you don't like smoke, it's best not to enter. The pork tempura was made from thinly sliced pork belly, and honestly, it was just okay. It would have been tastier if it was just grilled. It came with a side dish, pickles, and warabi mochi. It costs 660 yen with free drinks and dessert. You can get a free extra serving of rice. The cost performance is good. I'll try the daily special next time.

This place is very popular among smokers. Most customers order the daily special. The A lunch is fish-based, with samples available at the entrance for confirmation. It gets crowded during lunchtime. The grilled pork with salt sauce set meal has a generous amount of meat. If only there was an option for extra rice. The salt sauce gets a bit boring as you eat. I prefer the regular sauce. The side dish seems to be always the same - potato salad. For this price, it's a good lunch without any complaints. I enjoyed my meal with iced coffee before and café mocha and matcha latte after. I will definitely go for the daily special again next time.

I arrived at the parking lot before the opening time and it was almost full. There seemed to be some kind of seminar that day. I ordered the B set meal, which includes a hamburger, priced at 660 yen. The A set meal had fish as the main dish, with items like fried chicken. Many customers kept coming in, but the smoking rate was too high. Nowadays, many restaurants are smoke-free, so it can't be helped. The main dish of the B set meal, the hamburger, was around 200g in size. It didn't seem homemade. It also came with a thick and large sausage, omelette, salad, potato salad, and miso soup. You can get a free large serving of rice. Soft drinks and coffee were also free. It's a great deal! Eating rice and having tea for 660 yen is very affordable. The restaurant had plenty of seats, but it was crowded. There were no underage customers. I look forward to visiting this enjoyable restaurant again next time.

Restaurant review of a restaurant located on the first floor of Hotel Sepias near JR Muroran Station in the area of Muroran Joint Government Building. I visited for lunch during a business trip to Muroran. The interior of the restaurant has counter seats and table seats, and it is one of the few places where smoking is allowed throughout. There were many smokers present. The lunch menu includes two daily specials, around 20 regular set meals, curry, pasta, and more. I decided to go with the "Daily Special B (640 yen)" which seemed like a good deal. The daily specials for that day were "Grilled Fish Japanese Set Meal" for A, and "Fried Chicken Curry" for B. Also, they offer free soft drinks with your meal, which is a nice bonus. The restaurant was quite crowded that day, and it took about 35 minutes for the food to be served, possibly due to understaffing. The B set meal included fried chicken curry as the main dish, along with miso soup, potato salad, and dessert. The curry had a mild flavor similar to store-bought curry with a hint of spice. It was filling, but the delayed service made it a bit rushed as I had plans in the afternoon. The smell of cigarette smoke may be a concern for non-smokers, but for smokers, the reasonable prices make it a good option.

I visited this place for lunch buffet after a long time. It seems like they are not offering lunch buffet today. There were two daily samples at the entrance - grilled salmon or mixed fry for 640 yen. I ordered the mixed fry and sat down. I was surprised to see a menu with other options like set meals and pasta for 740 yen, soba or udon set for 640 yen, katsu curry, hamburger curry for 790 yen. The fact that rice can be refilled and drink bar is free at this price is amazing. The mixed fry included shrimp fry, squid fry, curry-flavored croquette, white fish fry, and shrimp shenjo fry. It was delicious and had a good portion. Although the lunch buffet for 790 yen is good, the daily special was enjoyable. The whole place is smoking allowed, which might be tough for non-smokers. It's a smoker's paradise. Unfortunately, minors are not allowed due to the revised Health Promotion Law (prevention of passive smoking). I will try the daily special again next time.

Lunch at the restaurant on the first floor of a hotel across from the government office building. The hotel is one of the largest in Rumoi, but many floors are closed off and the number of operating rooms is less than half, with few employees. The restaurant on the first floor serves lunch during the day and turns into an izakaya at night. There are signs of wear and tear on the ceiling, giving a sense of the town's decline. The lunch menu offers a variety of options, but the most popular are the two low-priced "daily specials". I chose the "Japanese set meal" for its variety of side dishes. I informed the waiter of my order. With free drinks included, I first went to get some oolong tea and waited for about 8 minutes before my meal was served. The main dish was grilled tuna with teriyaki sauce. The side dishes included sashimi of shrimp, squid, and salmon, garlic sprouts, pork, and bean sprouts stir-fry, simmered bonito with ginger, and potato salad. It also came with rice, miso soup, and pickles, all for 600 yen including tax, which was quite a good deal. After finishing my meal, I had a coffee and relaxed. As more customers started to arrive, I paid my bill. While the restaurant may not be known for its exceptional taste, I may consider coming back for its cost-effectiveness and variety of dishes.

I went to another 750 yen lunch buffet! It's still a mysterious restaurant? Not really a restaurant? Not a cafeteria? Not a cafe either? It's like a different dimension space, but it matches me perfectly and heals me. The food doesn't seem to change much, but it feels quite different? Even though vegetables like cabbage are expensive, tomatoes, broccoli, and boiled asparagus are all you can eat, which is a great deal! My favorite this time was sweet and sour pork. Eating sweet and sour pork and salad all you can eat makes it worth it. How can they operate at such a low price? I'll come back for lunchtime in Muroran! Is it popular among locals? It's a lunch buffet limited to Tuesdays, but there are always regular customers there. I'm looking forward to the next main dish.

It had been half a year since my last visit. As I arrived shortly after the restaurant opened, it wasn't crowded at all. Getting food was stress-free and there were plenty of seats available. I made sure to secure some dishes first. I was excited to see how different the dishes were compared to my last visit. The pork shabu-shabu, soba noodles, curry, fried shrimp, chicken sauté, and others seemed to be regular menu items. There were a lot of fried dishes, but there were also many new dishes compared to last time. The variety of salads, Japanese side dishes, fried foods, and cream stewed cabbage was impressive for the price. They also offered bread and desserts, which were popular among locals. By the afternoon, more customers started arriving. If you're dining alone, there are long counter seats available so you won't have trouble finding a seat. The restaurant had a different atmosphere, creating a unique and relaxing space.

I didn't know? If you look for it, you can find it~ The restaurant on the 1st floor of Hotel Sepias. Something feels very out of place, right? The restaurant and the adjacent eatery are lunch venues. The seating is mainly tables with some counter seats as well. You can even smoke there. Each table had 2 ashtrays. There was only one person smoking during my 40-minute stay. A smoker's paradise restaurant? They offer a lunch buffet on Tuesdays with daily specials as well. The daily special was cream pasta, which looked very generous in portion. It was priced at 600 yen with soup and bread included. Drinks were also all-you-can-drink, making it a good value for money. The lunch buffet was 750 yen. Considering the price, it was decent, right? No, it was actually a great value for money. There were plenty of meat dishes to enjoy like Genghis Khan, sweet and sour chicken, teriyaki chicken, and even pork shabu-shabu in the salad corner! It was a bit different from what I had imagined, but it was quite surprising. The fried items were commercial, but they had mini tonkatsu, croquettes, shrimp tempura, chicken nuggets, and fried dumplings. There were also salads with asparagus, adding to the satisfaction. They also had Japanese dishes like curry, somen, and one type of bread. The drink selection was good, exceeding the price paid. The customers were mainly elderly people and office workers. Looking at the menu, they not only offer buffets but also regular dishes at a good price. I would definitely like to visit again.
