On the way to the hotel that day, I had lunch at a diner I found in the town of Shikabe. It was a nostalgic diner with matches on the tables. I had a luxurious shrimp tempura bowl with three large shrimp tempura. It also had burdock root, white fish, and other ingredients. It was delicious and reasonably priced. Thank you for the meal.

A while back, when my favorite thing to order at restaurants was katsu curry, I went to a place called "The Dining Room" in Kabu Center Street. It was quite crowded, but I managed to order the recommended katsu curry. It arrived promptly, with a classic katsu curry presentation and a decently thick cutlet. The rice was delicious too. I left thinking about what to try next time. I'm curious about the daily specials.

I stopped by for lunch during work. It was close to 2 pm, so there were no other customers inside the restaurant. The lunch menu was written on the wall. There was a variety of options from ramen to set meals, but I decided to order the recommended dish, "anago-don" (grilled eel rice bowl). While waiting, they served barley tea and left a pot for refills, which was free. The anago-don came with miso soup and pickles. It cost 650 yen. The tempura was a bit soggy and not crispy.
