ゆらんゆらん
On the final day of the trip to Asahikawa, I visited this restaurant upon a recommendation from Yuran. I arrived 15 minutes before opening and was the first in line. The parking lot is located below the restaurant and on the side, with the side being more suitable for larger cars. When the restaurant opened, there were already more than 10 people in line. I was considering getting the Triple Cheese Omu Curry like Ohtani and adding shrimp mayo, but decided to go with the Half-Cooked Omu Cheese Curry with a topping of long Shauessen that is not commonly found. My companions ordered the Omu Mayo Ebi Curry with Shauessen topping (2 orders), and the Tofu and Natto Omu Curry with Shauessen topping. Everyone opted for the Shauessen topping. The rice used is freshly milled Nanatsuboshi, and the onions are sautéed with vegetables and fruits to thicken the curry. The anticipation grew as I read various things about the restaurant. However, the interior of the restaurant was like a ballpark, with photos of Nippon Ham players and items they used displayed everywhere. Ohtani, Kuriyama (the coach), BIG BOSS, Sugitani, Kiyomiya, and others, familiar faces even at Yuran. I remember seeing flowers from BIG BOSS displayed in this shop that was opened at Escon Field. Seems like it's a favorite spot. Despite being the first in line, the order took a while to arrive, around 20 minutes. The Ebi Mayo Curry had 3-4 shrimp on top of the Omu with plenty of mayonnaise, and it seemed to be the most popular dish. The Half-Cooked Omu Cheese Curry at Yuran has cheese between the rice and egg, stretching when scooped with a spoon. On top of the egg is a homemade tomato sauce. The curry, although I ordered it normal, was not too spicy with a strong sweetness from onions and fruits. The hard-boiled long Shauessen was a perfect choice, crispy and juicy. When buying at the supermarket, it's always Shauessen at Yuran. At the checkout, I noticed a uniform of Ohtani, which surprised me when I saw the height of the waist. I couldn't help but line up and take a photo (see photo). Yuran is 168.5 cm tall, quite tall for a woman. Ohtani-san, Ashinagasugiru YO!
