Used for dinner. Visited alone. Some thoughts: - Located near Ario Sapporo. - Ordered the Elchiki's delicious salt katsu. - Bought with Kitaca. - Juicier than expected. - The katsu meat was tender. - Very delicious with a gentle flavor.

On the 6th day after the September 2018 Hokkaido Eastern Iburi earthquake, the shortage of food in Hokkaido is gradually improving, but it may take until this weekend to fully recover. I was left in charge of the office during lunchtime. I went to the nearby Lawson before noon. The shelves for onigiri and bento were empty. There were only 2 packs of pasta and 10 servings of freshly made zaru soba on the noodle shelf. There were a few Danish pastries on the bread shelf. Only a couple of varieties of cup noodles were left, with a limit of 2 per person. I purchased the zaru soba, which had the most stock available. At the register, the familiar cashier told me that they were running out of plastic bags and chopsticks. I declined both. I returned with the zaru soba without a bag, wishing they had put a sticker on it. I didn't rush back, just walked slowly on purpose. The "noodle loosening water" was included, which I poured over the soba to loosen it. It was about 25cc, making the soba slightly stretchy. I poured the chemical seasoning-free soba broth into a plastic cup that could be removed. It was not very satisfying, but the chopped green onions and wasabi were a saving grace. I didn't use the seaweed, as it was not for me. The meal was 317 calories in total. Tomorrow is September 12th, am I the expiration date?
