I visited for breakfast after a long time, so I'll just upload a photo. Even though it was a bit late for breakfast, the place was almost full, so it seems to be popular. I ordered the "Ham and Egg Beef Side Dish Set Meal (536 yen)" with extra rice. The beef side dish had the same delicious taste as beef bowl, and the free extra rice was a good deal. It also came with salad and miso soup, so I think this price is very reasonable.

Sometimes I crave Yoshinoya's beef bowl. Today, I had it for breakfast. It was crowded even in the morning. I got the regular size with extra green onions and miso soup. It was delicious, but there were too many green onions haha. The miso soup was a bit salty too, so I think I had too much salt in the morning. Now, I'm heading towards Asahikawa~

When it comes to beef bowl, Yoshinoya is always my top priority. As long as they have that shichimi (sometimes called nanami) spice, it's Yoshinoya for me. If they ever get rid of it, I won't go back. This time, I ordered the morning beef set in regular size, which includes beef bowl, miso soup, and a small side dish. I always add a raw egg to my beef bowl, so I chose the option with a raw egg. This set is a bit cheaper than ordering just the beef bowl with a raw egg, thanks to the miso soup that comes with it. Personally, I find it disappointing that nowadays every store serves their bowl dishes with so much sauce that it reaches the bottom of the bowl. Isn't it strange? It seems like the trend is to have a lot of sauce. Sometimes the amount of sauce is so much that it's like cat food. I forgot to ask for "no sauce" this time, which was my mistake. I wish there was a way to specify the amount of sauce when ordering. It varies from store to store, which is frustrating. Anyway, I'll be back for more.

In the morning of September 29, 2022 (Thursday), I ordered pork soup and it was served at 05:48. I once again realized that the pork soup from "Matsuya" suits my taste the best. It's not that the pork soup at this restaurant is bad, but it's just a matter of personal preference. I wonder if there is a restaurant that serves pork soup with a default strong ginger flavor?

I don't usually go to family restaurants or fast food places, but I sometimes crave Yoshinoya's beef bowl. I always get the large size with extra meat, a side of egg, and miso soup. This is my go-to order. I enjoy it with a generous serving of pickled ginger on top. Thank you for the meal!

This place, Yoshinoya, is one of the older roadside stores in Sapporo, right? Yoshinoya was under the Sezon Group umbrella for business reconstruction, and when they reopened in Hokkaido, the first store was the Moiwa store on Route 230, right? After that, they opened here, as well as in Nango-dori and Kiyota, right? In the past, SR used to dominate around Toyohira, right? I remember acquaintances or juniors working part-time here. So, let's have the "Beef and Salmon Set Meal." It's a late morning on a holiday. The place is bustling with advanced visitors having a late breakfast. Oh! That senior over there is sitting at a table, taking off their shoes and wearing slippers? Impressive! The advanced visitors who live around here are a bit different, huh. The salmon in the beef salmon dish is originally made by adding edible oil to salmon (probably imported, so is it salmon?) that naturally lacks fat and freezing it. It's delicious salmon with fat on it. I usually eat the skin of real grilled salmon, but I don't want to eat the skin of the salmon here. I thought I was eating the beef and salmon in a balanced way, but wait, the rice is running out? Oh well, can't be helped. After finishing the "Beef and Salmon Set Meal," I noticed someone standing right behind me. Oh, right, that's how it was! It's been so many years that I had forgotten. Alright, I hurriedly get up from my seat. I quickly pay and leave the restaurant. Yeah, sometimes you have to eat the "Beef and Salmon Set Meal." I might like it more than the beef bowl. Okay, next time I come here, I'll be careful. ♫

Everyone knows that "RIZAP" has supervised a dish at Yoshinoya. On this day, I went for dinner and, being conscious of carbs, I decided to order a smaller portion of rice. However, when I saw the words "Supervised by RIZAP" and "High Protein, Low Carb" on the menu, I couldn't resist and ordered the "RIZAP Beef Salad (572 yen, tax included)". I'm looking forward to it! Yoshinoya has a large parking lot, which is convenient. Well, if customers can't park their cars, they won't come, so it's a dilemma for the restaurant. The "RIZAP Beef Salad" arrived in just a few minutes - it was served on chopped cabbage with beef bowl toppings, chicken thigh meat, beans, broccoli, half-boiled egg, and more. It's high in protein and low in carbs. Now, let's dig in! I started by eating the chopped cabbage, soaked in the beef bowl sauce. The chicken thigh meat was tender and had a distinct chicken flavor, while the beans were soft and well-cooked. The broccoli retained its original taste. Of course, the beef bowl toppings had the familiar and delicious taste. Lastly, I saved the half-boiled egg and enjoyed it with a bit of soy sauce. It was a satisfying meal, perfect for someone like me who is training and dieting. I will definitely order it again. Thank you for the meal!

On Tuesday morning, April 19, 2022, it seems that the option of a 3-piece set is no longer available at all stores, so I had a 2-piece set with miso soup. It was really delicious. However, I am amazed at how many drivers are unable to turn off their headlights while parked.

On the morning of April 14, 2022 (Thursday), I had a delicious meal of two pieces of eel over rice at the restaurant. It was so good that I wanted to order three pieces, but they only served two-piece meals. Nevertheless, it was incredibly tasty. However, I couldn't help but notice how many drivers don't think about the inconvenience of leaving their lights on while parked.

On the morning of March 30, 2022 (Wednesday), I left my house at around 5:45 feeling hungry. I decided to go for a three-piece eel bowl and headed out. I ended up at the same restaurant as the other day due to its location on the ring road. Although it is a bit slim, it is nice to be able to eat eel at this time of year when other restaurants don't offer it. It was delicious. However, I noticed that many drivers parked with their lights on, which is quite bothersome and shows a lack of consideration for others. It made me realize that there are still immature individuals out there.

I am working hard to collect all four Monster Ball rice bowls. I have been to the restaurant four times when writing this review. My goal was six times, but it looks like I will finish after five visits. The Poke-mori beef bowl set for 500 yen is a healthy option with a side salad and a small portion of beef bowl. It's not exactly what I was looking for.

The restaurant serves breakfast early in the morning. We were seated at a two-person table. Despite the early hour, the place was quite busy. I ordered the salmon and beef bowl set. It was a reliable breakfast choice. When trying out a new restaurant, I like to stick to safe options.

I visited a mountain gear store along the Chuo Line for the first time in August 2021. The store near Hokkaido University has become very clean, but they have limited clothing, so I decided to extend my visit to this store. I wouldn't mind going to Montbell, but I also want to see other goods. I suddenly had a strong craving for "gyudon," "Katsuya's katsudon," and "Miyoshi's gyoza." It happens a few times a year. "Gyudon" 387 yen, "miso soup" 74 yen. At Matsuya, miso soup is complimentary, but at Yoshinoya, you have to order it separately. Topped with pickled ginger, it's the usual gyudon taste. I like Yoshinoya's black curry, but lately, all the gyudon restaurants seem to be turning into "set meal restaurants." I still think that a gyudon restaurant should just serve gyudon. Keeping the menu simple makes inventory management easier and reduces the number of steps. "Fast, cheap, delicious" was supposed to be the pride of gyudon restaurants like Yoshinoya. It's true that they had to switch to pork bowls due to mad cow disease, but I think that "set meals" and "fried chicken" feel out of place. Maybe it's just me, but I really wish Yoshinoya would just stick to gyudon.

On Wednesday, May 19, at 6:20 in the morning, I had an eel bowl served to me. It's not something to brag about, but I have never been to a restaurant with a sign saying "eel" on the curtain, so I can't make that comparison. Among fast food chains, I think it's on par with Nakau in terms of taste. Furthermore, since it is available for a longer period, I would say it is favored within our restaurant group.

It's raining in Sapporo. The rain itself is bearable, but the wind is subtly strong with a speed of 10 meters per second, and the temperature is in the single digits at 8°C. In short, it's cold (laughs). Well, the cherry blossoms are starting to bloom on the 22nd, with full bloom expected on the 27th, so I thought the cherry blossom trees along the Nishikawa Street in the neighborhood would start falling, turning the sidewalks pink, but surprisingly they haven't fallen yet. In this kind of weather, I have work in the afternoon on Friday today and I'll get off at Misono Station on the Tozai Subway Line for lunch. I usually come out from Exit 2 facing the Kanjo Street, but I haven't had a bowl of food recently, so I occasionally crave for beef bowl here. Well, the day before yesterday I went to a soba restaurant next door, but Misono Station is not that far from Route 36, and when I checked on NAVITIME, it seems to be about a 10-minute walk to get there. For a moment, the curry with gyoza on top also crossed my mind, but since it's raining, it's better to go for something closer...so I decided to visit here. I visit here a few times a year, usually sitting at the counter, but this time there were fewer people, so I took a table for two (laughs). I've tried various things here, but this is my first time at a table seat. I told the waitress who came to take my order, as if casting a spell, "Regular size, with egg, and miso soup." I wonder how many times I've said it (laughs), but the waitress's response is always, "Beef bowl, right?" Hmm...there's also pork bowl, but it's different from the one Hokkaido people know, so I said, "Beef bowl, please." Oh! In summer, I also eat the "Gyudon Tororo Gozen" and in winter, the "Gyusuki Nabe Gozen." I'm also interested in the "Ham Egg Beef Small Plate Set"...but the "Unaju" is a must (laughs). A single serving costs 788 yen, and even a triple serving costs 1,648 yen, which is cheap, but at an eel restaurant in Sapporo, a triple serving costs 4,400 yen...The official website says "delicious, cheap, fast," but wasn't the old catchphrase "delicious, fast, cheap" or "fast, delicious, cheap"? Personally, I think "fast, delicious, cheap" sounds better (laughs). By the way, the trademark of the yakisoba restaurant on the basement floor of the New Odori Building, which houses Hokuyo Bank in front of Odori Park, reads like "Kan'ei Tsuho," meaning "fast, cheap, abundant, delicious," but now, cheap is... (omitted). So, in this way, it arrived in just 2 minutes. But...is the amount of beef subtly reduced? (laughs) Add beaten egg, red pickled ginger, and sprinkle with shichimi togarashi, and it becomes even more delicious (laughs). Suddenly, I notice that until May 31st, you can get a "Gyudon Tororo Set" with grated yam and miso soup for 593 yen, which is a great deal. As a big fan of grated yam, I couldn't resist. Ah, it was delicious (laughs). I'll visit again, okay?

Sometimes, I have an inexplicable craving for Yoshinoya's beef bowl, so I decided to visit here today. Since I arrived outside of lunch hours, there were no other customers. Therefore, I chose a large table to sit at. The menu has expanded with various options compared to before. Even though I initially thought of getting the beef bowl, when I looked at the menu, my eyes wandered to set meals, curry, and eel dishes. But, as they say, it's best to stick to your initial choice. I ordered the "Beef Bowl (large/522 yen)" with an extra "egg topping (68 yen)" and the "B set (with pickles and miso soup/148 yen)." Finally, my companion ordered the "Negi-Tama Beef Bowl (large/630 yen)" with the "B set (with pickles and miso soup/148 yen)." The seating arrangement inside the restaurant seemed different from before, more spacious. Perhaps this is due to the influence of the pandemic? While pondering about this, our beef bowls arrived in just 2 minutes after ordering! Yoshinoya is still impressively fast. I dug into the beef bowl, a classic taste that never fails to satisfy. First, I ate it as is, then added a generous amount of pickled ginger. The sharpness of the pickled ginger enhances the sweetness of the meat. After finishing half, I cracked a raw egg and mixed it in, creating a sukiyaki-like flavor. With a reset of my palate using the pickles and miso soup, I quickly finished the meal. As always, I can't help but eat quickly here, even though there's no rush. I also tried my companion's Negi-Tama Beef Bowl, which had a generous amount of green onions and a sweet soy sauce flavor reminiscent of yakiniku sauce. The crunchiness of the onions added a unique appeal, different from the regular beef bowl. Yoshinoya also offers takeout, making it a convenient option in the neighborhood. I always want to savor this traditional taste. If I feel the addiction kicking in again, I'll be back for more. Thank you for the meal!

The dish served at 6:23 on Wednesday, January 20, 2021 was eel rice bowl. It had a consistently delicious taste. When I was young, the eel I ate at home was bought from the supermarket and had a somewhat moldy smell, so I couldn't really like it. Even as an adult, the eel I bought had a slight moldy smell, and I didn't find it enjoyable. At some point, I tried eating it at a restaurant like this one, and I didn't sense any unpleasant smell. I remembered that the quality must have improved due to advancements in distribution and various factors.

Even during the self-restraint period of the new coronavirus, December is still a busy time, right? Oh, let's talk about December. Snow has started to fall and the roads are slippery, making it hard for cars to move. I got hungry around lunchtime, so I decided to have lunch at Yoshinoya, which was right in front of me. I ordered a large beef bowl with an egg, which cost 583 yen. I always want to have lunch for around this price, being a budget-conscious person (laughs). It only took about a minute to get my order. Yoshinoya is always so fast, right? Well then, let's dig in! As always, the taste was reliably delicious. The lack of meat was compensated for by the large size of the beef bowl. Maybe I should have gotten a salad too? I guess I need more vegetables (laughs). Thanks for the delicious meal today! I'll definitely come back again.

At 6:59 on Friday, September 11, an eel bowl was served with a large number of eel slices, and two packets of sansho pepper were included. I have never eaten grilled eel, so I do not know the true taste of eel. I may be mistaking the taste of the eel bowl sauce for the taste of eel, but it is still delicious, so I have eaten it many times.

Yoshinoya, open 24 hours a day in February 2020. I visited during breakfast time. My favorite is the morning set meal with grilled mackerel, which is plump and delicious without a strong fishy taste. The Spicy Chicken Curry has plenty of chicken thigh meat. It is seasoned spicy and doesn't have a lot of fat. The curry has a light and refreshing taste. However, I think I will go with the morning set meal next time.

Son was sent to school in November 2019. He is now a fourth-year university student and seems to be struggling to earn enough credits, so he attends lectures every morning. In order to help him graduate, I have been sending him to school as part of my daily routine lately. As for me, I enjoy having a breakfast and lunch combo with my favorite salt-grilled mackerel morning set, which includes fried eggs and a small dish of beef. The portion of rice is generous. I like to sprinkle shichimi (seven-spice blend) on the beef dish. I always mix the miso soup well before eating it. The service is very quick, and the food is served piping hot, with the grilled fish being juicy. I have been loving it more and more recently. I plan to try other menu items as well. Thank you for the delicious meal! 🌟
