My rating is 3.8 for food, 3.7 for service, 3.8 for atmosphere, 3.6 for value for money, and no rating for drinks. Today is a holiday and I have the day off. I have some work to do, but there's no rush to finish it today, so I've been lazing around. I didn't even know what holiday it was until I read the newspaper. There's nothing good on TV on days like this, even NHK BS Premium is showing baseball anime all day, which is strange. I ended up watching a music channel, realizing how out of touch I am with current music. For lunch, I only had leftover tempura rice bowl. White wine? No way. I prepared my tempura rice bowl with 1 shrimp, squid, 1 green bean, half a tempura, and half a fish cake tempura. It was delicious. The problem with rice bowl dishes is that the rice portion is often too much, especially for someone my age. It's difficult to leave food uneaten, but the rice portion is usually too large. Most delivery services offer "extra-large for free" but rarely have options for a smaller rice portion. However, this restaurant offers a solution with their "Tempura Topping" option, where you can adjust the rice portion and choose the type of rice (multigrain, barley, brown rice, etc.). I ordered the "Large Shrimp Tempura Topping" for 1260 yen, which included 2 large shrimp, squid, poached egg, eggplant, lotus root, green beans, and shiso leaf. I also added fish cake tempura and vegetable tempura, making the total cost 1760 yen with free delivery. This way, I can enjoy two bowls of tempura rice. The taste is decent, not freshly fried, but it's a satisfying solution to my long-standing issue. I'm debating whether to have the second bowl as is, or with salt and white wine.
