The owner is a person who combines seriousness and love, always coming to the store and not neglecting any work, even if the building is closed. Such a shop can be trusted. I think it was my first time eating in. I chose the famous tendon, which is said to be the number one seller. I was looking forward to seeing what it was like. It was a splendid Japanese lunch that you wouldn't expect from a counter in a department store basement. The taste is not something you would find in a casual dining or tenya restaurant. The sauce on the fried food is excellent. Even the miso soup is different. It's like the taste of a high-class Japanese restaurant. I always thought their bento boxes were delicious, but if they could make a Matsukadou bento box by reservation, I would be very happy... But one meal might not be enough (bitter smile). It was a meal to be grateful for.

During the previous state of emergency, I looked for a way to save money on meals, so I decided to check out the bento boxes at Feel Chika. Since many restaurants were closed, I visited during the discounted hours in the evening. I found a limited quantity item available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at half price. I purchased the two-tiered bento box for 625 yen instead of 1250 yen. The rice in the lower tier was a bit dry, so I thought about heating it up. It had a mild flavor with various side dishes like sweet rolled omelette with dried shrimp, red fish with miso marinade, scallops, duck ham, and shrimp tempura. The flavors were well-balanced, and I decided to save the meal for my husband. I'm such a kind wife. This bento box is perfect for enjoying with some drinks in the evening.

Is this the younger brother of Prime Minister Abe? I'm in Asahikawa now and tomorrow I'll be stuck in my hometown unable to move, so today I'll explore as much as I can. I've already written quite a few notes, and if I can write at least one more at Tohro's Road Station in Engaru on my way back, that would be perfect. I need to leave Asahikawa before 4 pm. Next stop, Housou Abe for takeout? I've had this place on my list for a while. The parking fee is an extra cost. Housou Abe, no matter how many times I come, I never end up buying anything. The food doesn't really appeal to me. I don't need rice anymore, so maybe some side dishes. The scallop teriyaki and shrimp are the most popular, 600 yen for two. You can get a more luxurious bento at Hotto Motto. What's more important, appearance or taste? Let's find out. The shrimp is not exactly "crispy" but has a good texture. The taste is good, can't stop eating it. The scallop is also delicious, but has a slight bitterness. Overall, both are tasty even though they are not reheated.

After a long time, I had some free time in Asahikawa... There were too many places I wanted to go, so I ended up delaying my return JR trains by two and a half hours, but it still wasn't enough (^-^; After walking a few shops, I headed to the basement of Feel... I stopped by "Sousou Abe" in the deli section. This popular store in Higashikawa-cho, Kamikawa-gun, sells brown rice onigiri from "Chamise" through "Sousou Abe". I purchased a "Brown Rice Onigiri @ 213 + tax" along with some other items. I ended up eating it the next day. I warmed it up in the microwave for a bit. The slightly firm texture and the crunchy flavor of the brown rice were delicious. The filling was "beef simmered in soy sauce"... it had a lightly sweet and savory taste that paired well with the brown rice. It might be a bit pricey, but the taste was quite good. I would like to eat this onigiri again. Thank you for the meal.

Weekend Lunch #068. The contents are hidden just like in the leftmost photo. In the department store basement here, various bento boxes are sold, with yakitori bento boxes priced at just under 400 yen, very delicious and excellent value for money. So, why did I decide to get this particular product? Well, I happened to see the contents of this bento box elsewhere, and thought it must be really good. When I opened it up... it was like a Makunouchi bento box. It's the kind of quality you'd want to spread out in the Green car of a JR train or buy at the airport to take on a plane. The quantity is decent, but it's more about elevating the quality. The simmered dishes with plump shrimp are tear-jerkingly good. There's a hidden happiness that only those who open it can understand. Try the limited edition taste this weekend.

My favorite delicatessen shop in the underground of Feel. The high-quality side dishes are reasonable, and you can also eat in the store, so whenever I stop by in front of the station, I always buy side dishes to take home. There are many good shops in the underground of Feel, so I like it. This time, I bought mini-sized shinko-yaki and spicy menma. Both are perfect for beer snacks. Next time, I think I'll buy tamagoyaki or ebi mayo.

Welcome.---------- May 2017 ----------Located along the shopping park street in Asahikawa, on the B1 floor, is a store that sells side dishes and bento boxes. Hello! All the staff members seem to have a cooking license, so they must have good knowledge about food. They also serve lunch, even though it's only for a short period of time. The basic menu consists of side dishes and mixed rice dishes. The rice is cooked with a mushroom broth, giving it a plump texture. I think the rice is a bit sticky, but it has a nice chewy texture. It costs 200 yen for 200g. I like white rice, but sometimes it's important to have rice cooked by different people. The grilled belly meat is not salty, but has a sweet taste from mirin, making it juicy. It has more sweetness than saltiness, and I think it goes well with rice. It seems like kids would enjoy it. You get 4 pieces for a reasonable price of 300 yen. The prawns in aurora sauce are plump with a mild and slightly sweet aurora sauce. You get 8 prawns for 280 yen, which is a good deal. I later realized that they also have some fancy items, but they also offer a variety of traditional Japanese side dishes. Thank you for the delicious meal.

◆September 2016◆ Located on the first basement floor of the Feel building in front of Asahikawa Station is a shop selling deli dishes and bento boxes. As a famous bento shop I was interested in was temporarily closed, I decided to stop by Feel for some shopping and came across a shop with a variety of delicious deli dishes. They had traditional Japanese home-style dishes like rolled omelette, kinpira, grilled fish, and tempura at reasonable prices, around 200 yen per dish, with smaller portions perfect for one person. You can also eat inside the shop, making it very convenient. I decided to buy some dishes to enjoy with drinks later on. The most popular item, sweet vinegar-marinated salmon (200 yen), spicy menma (200 yen), and crispy fried young chicken (60 yen each). I tried them at home right away. The spicy menma was thick yet incredibly tender. It had a spicy kick but a refined taste, perfect with sweet potato shochu. The sweet vinegar-marinated salmon was popular for a reason, with generous portions of salmon for only 200 yen. This also goes well with shochu and sake. The crispy fried young chicken seemed to be coated with almond chips. The fragrant aroma and crispy texture were delightful, and at 60 yen each, it was quite affordable. The onigiri (rice balls) from the bento shop also looked delicious. Next time I visit Asahikawa, I'll be sure to grab some along with the rolled omelette.

This is a review from a repeat customer. According to the description from Feel, the shop is run by Mr. Ryuya Abe, who used to work at "Washijo Kataoka" in the same tenant space. Like when it was "Kataoka," the items displayed at the shop are generally in a cold state, except for freshly made ones, but the flavors are distinct and delicious. It seems like the flavors are determined with the assumption that they will be eaten in a cooled state rather than reheated. I have visited "Kataoka" a few times, but I found the flavors at "Hashigo Abe" to be more familiar and to my liking. The side dishes are sold in 100g packs. ○ Rice balls (Okaka, Salmon) 150 yen - A small size perfect for a light snack. ◎ Rice balls (Wakame, Shirasu) 150 yen - The texture of wakame and the saltiness are just right. ◎ Stir-fried squid and tomato 300 yen - A sophisticated stir-fry seasoned with garlic, coarse-ground pepper, powdered cheese, and parsley. This is my favorite! ◎ Simmered dried tofu 240 yen - Includes shiitake mushrooms and red bell peppers. The plump and tender dried tofu has a gentle sweetness but is infused with a rich dashi flavor. ○ White fish and fluffy tempura with wild vegetables in a sauce 200 yen - Includes leeks, warabi, zenmai, thin bamboo shoots, and wood ear mushrooms. The rich sauce clings to the tender fish tempura. ○ Ginger and bamboo shoot simmered dish 120 yen - Includes ginger, bamboo shoots, and konjac. Seasoned with chili peppers, sesame seeds, and bonito flakes, the sweet and savory flavor is enhanced by the crunchy texture. ◎ Rolled omelet 170 yen - A half-size of a large dashimaki tamago. The restrained sweetness is elegant, and it remains soft and juicy even when cold! ◎ Shrimp and pickled radish roll 250 yen - Comes with two pieces of pickled radish, equivalent to two rice balls. Made with yukari rice, shrimp tempura, and shiso leaves, it creates an indescribable harmony. ○ Burdock root with sesame miso dressing 240 yen - The crunchy burdock root is coated in a flavorful sesame miso dressing. ○ Furofuki oden 300 yen - The daikon radish soaked in broth is soft and tender. Includes one piece of daikon and one egg. There are only a few seats, but you can also eat in at the counter. They offer bento boxes, soba, and tempura.

I took out some side dishes. The tamagoyaki (rolled omelette) with mushrooms was delicious with just the right amount of sweetness. The marinated mushrooms were popular and spicy. I usually prefer sweet flavors like in curry, so even though I found it slightly spicy, it was still delicious. I forgot the name of the popular number one salmon dish, but it was also very tasty.

In November 2022, I visited a restaurant in Asahikawa and bought a two-tiered bento box at a place called "Hayashi Abe" in the underground area. It was a luxurious meal with a variety of dishes like grilled, fried, and simmered foods. Every dish was delicious, and the mixed rice was especially tasty. I didn't know what to expect when I bought it, but it turned out to be surprisingly delicious. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

It's raining on a holiday at 11:45 am. When I opened the Wolt app, I saw a message saying, "Currently busy, please wait a while." Some stores were temporarily closed due to the high volume of orders. At 12:10 pm, I tried again and was able to place an order. I ordered a "Large Shrimp Tempura Rice Bowl (with miso soup)" for 1,000 yen and a "Set of 3 Side Dishes" for 900 yen. The delivery fee was 199 yen. The food arrived in about 40 minutes. The delivery person had a large insulated case. The restaurant included a handwritten note with instructions on how to enjoy the food. The shrimp tempura was crispy and the side dishes were delicious. Overall, it was a good experience using Wolt for the fourth time.

I went to the restaurant using the lunch passport on October 23, 2015. It was ranked first on my parent's list of places to eat. The restaurant has 5 seats for dining in, and they only serve 20 meals per day. I arrived at 11 am and was able to sit without waiting. The tempura on the seafood bowl was delicious and crispy. The vegetables were also very tasty. The miso soup had a great flavor, and the pickles complemented the meal well. The staff, including a veteran waitress and a chef who looked like Winnie the Pooh, were friendly and provided great service. I will definitely come back again. I visited the same restaurant using the lunch passport on May 24, 2016. This time, there was already a line when I arrived at 10:35 am. The restaurant only serves lunch passport holders from 11 am to 2 pm, and they have limited seating. Unfortunately, I realized I had left my phone in the car while waiting in line. The seafood tempura bowl I ordered was delicious, with large shrimp, squid, scallops, eggplant, and pumpkin. The tempura was perfectly crispy, and the sweet sauce added to the flavor. The miso soup was flavorful, and the meal overall was very satisfying. I received a 100 yen discount coupon for purchasing two or more side dishes, which I plan to use on my next visit. The staff was kind and efficient, and the overall experience was great.

In this Ramen Pass, the must-try dish is the seafood bowl. It comes with miso soup and pickles. I didn't realize before that there was an eat-in option. There are 5 seats at the counter. If you can't find a seat, there are also Ramen Pass exclusive seats in the free space at Feel. I was the third in line, so I was able to enjoy my meal at the counter. It was a bit awkward with the gazes of the around 20 people waiting in line, but my excitement rose as expected when I saw the luxurious seafood bowl. The sauce was sweet and delicious! Crispy shrimp, scallops, squid, pumpkin, and eggplant. Extra sauce is available if you need it. For only 500 yen, it felt like a steal. I was very satisfied. I will definitely visit again!
