Well, today's destination is here. On the way, there was a store selling lecture notes, and I remembered seeing someone buying them. Nowadays, with the increase in various devices, I wonder if such places are still analog. As I was thinking that the road I came out of was to the right, it was spot on. Yeah, that's the feeling. The memories are coming back vaguely. Although the store opens at 5 p.m., half of the seats are already taken. I was thinking of getting a pork cutlet bowl, but when I looked at the menu, I noticed something called fried rice hamburger (1050 yen). I wondered if they had this before, but my fried rice hunter spirit was ignited, so I ordered that. Ten minutes after opening, the place was already full, and even though there were acrylic boards, I was also forced to share a table. Well, it can't be helped. There seem to be more young people than students, mostly young professionals. When I searched online, it seems that the portions are good, and there have been quite a few media exposures, so that might be the reason. The older man next to me received his order first. It was a pork cutlet bowl. Right, here they don't simmer the pork cutlet, but instead add a scrambled egg on top. Oh, I remembered something. With about 30% of my memory back, it's time for the fried rice hamburger. There might be hamburger with omelette rice, but since it's fried rice, it's different. The taste is closer to a Chinese-style fried rice. This marriage with the hamburger is probably a menu aimed at students. Now, I'll walk through the street with greenery and brick buildings, reminiscing about the past, while checking out a famous Japanese sweets shop, and head towards Demachiyanagi.

Located near Imadegawa Station on the subway, this udon restaurant is popular among students due to its generous portions. The tempura bowl comes with two large shrimp tempura, and the pork cutlet curry udon has a massive piece of tonkatsu on top. Both dishes are delicious and highly recommended!

I arrived home exhausted and felt relieved seeing the lights of Matsuno-ya. The takeout is very popular, and the staff were busy. I had the dipping noodles with pork and oil residue. The noodles were thick like udon, a bit hard to eat but had a great texture. The broth was a sweet Japanese-style dashi. The portion was too much, but I couldn't help but order it. I also recommend the ramen!

I found out about a popular set meal restaurant in Kyoto city and decided to visit. I arrived around 1:30 PM on Saturday and there were only three people in line. The menu was extensive, so it was a bit difficult to decide. I ended up choosing the popular menu item, Katsudon. The breading on the pork cutlet came off easily, making it a bit difficult to eat, but it was delicious.

Every time, I go for the super delicious, super generous portion to support my poor college student life. But, I got carried away and went for a regular portion this time, and ended up with a massive stomachache. I feel like I've become an adult now. I think I'll go back to the stomachache route next time because it's just so delicious.

I felt like eating katsudon, so I visited Matsunoya. I arrived right at the opening time of 11 o'clock. I ordered the katsudon and also the cold kitsune udon that I've been curious about. The cold kitsune udon arrived first, so I started with that. The udon was incredibly firm and smooth, and really delicious. The sweet fried tofu was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. The katsudon also arrived. The crispy tonkatsu had just the right amount of fat and was also delicious. I finished everything, but now my stomach is completely full. Thank you for the meal.

Matsumotoya, located near Imadegawa Station in Kyoto, has a history of over 80 years as a casual dining restaurant. With affordable prices and generous portions, the food is delicious and popular among students from Doshisha University nearby. I visited this restaurant after more than 10 years, and ordered the Katsudon (880 yen including tax), a dish I used to enjoy in the past. The dish was very filling, with a crispy breaded pork cutlet and plenty of rice. The cutlet was well-fried, although the meat was slightly thin. The seasoning and frying were well done, making it quite delicious. The flavor of the egg topping was light, balancing the meal well without being too heavy. The miso soup was a comforting finish to the meal. I visited on a Friday just before 1 pm, and the restaurant was about 90% full, but I was able to enjoy my meal smoothly. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Arrived at the shop around 2:15 pm, but it was a shortened business day so they were closing at 2 pm. However, a staff member came out and allowed us to come in. I ordered the curry udon with pork cutlet and mixed rice (medium size). The curry udon was spicy yet refreshing. The mixed rice was quite a generous portion (small size might be enough for women). My wife ordered the conger eel soba. The shop had a traditional udon and soba feel to it. It seemed popular among students as the university is nearby. The portions overall seemed to be quite large. On shortened business days, the shop may only be open until 2 pm due to their circumstances, so it's recommended to visit before then if you want to make sure you can eat there. They usually announce this a week in advance.

This is my second visit to Matsunoya. I left early to arrive just in time for the opening, and was seated right away. Last time I had the katsudon, so this time I tried the yakisoba that I had been curious about. I also ordered a side of extra rice. The restaurant was full about 10 minutes after opening. The yakisoba was delicious with thin noodles and a surprisingly light sauce. It's easy to see why it's popular. The extra rice was also tasty. I finished everything in a few minutes. I am full now. Thank you for the meal.

I was looking for a delicious katsudon restaurant and found Matsunoya among several others I searched. I decided to visit Matsunoya as I thought it was a must-visit. I arrived at the restaurant around 11:30 am, and all the seats were already taken. I asked to share a table with someone and ordered katsudon and miso soup. Shortly after, the katsudon and miso soup arrived. The katsu on the katsudon was overflowing from the bowl, topped with a fluffy egg, and looked really delicious. When I took a bite, the sweet broth mixed with the katsu was very tasty. The miso soup was full of vegetables and had a generous amount of pork. Both the katsudon and miso soup were delicious. Thank you for the meal.

There is a popular diner in Imadegawa, Kyoto, right near Doshisha University. All the menu items here are generous in portion size and reasonably priced. I ordered the Yakisoba for 780 yen, which was delicious. It was made with cabbage, bean sprouts, carrots, pork, and scrambled eggs, with thin noodles coated in a tasty sauce. I also tried the Butajiru set meal for 880 yen, which was incredibly filling. The pork soup had a rich flavor and the rice was very satisfying. Even though it was my first visit, I was completely satisfied with the delicious food. I envy the Doshisha University students who get to enjoy this place often.

I visited around 5 pm. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was like a traditional set meal place, and there were a few foreigners. I ordered the pork cutlet bowl. The broth was rich and the pork cutlet was thick and delicious. I managed to finish it with satisfaction. My friend ordered the udon set meal, but it seemed quite challenging for them. Be careful when ordering a large portion!笑

When you come here, try the yakisoba instead of the katsudon. It costs 750 yen. It has a slightly sweet sauce flavor with scrambled eggs, which is its unique feature. It goes well with beer. The noodles are straight and not greasy, so you won't get tired of them. Even the regular size is quite large. I'm still too scared to order the extra-large size. The chicken fry that the person next to me was eating looked delicious, so I ordered it as a side dish. Ordering it as a side dish is 100 yen cheaper than as a set, costing 810 yen. You get four big pieces of chicken fry! I ended up taking some home in a container they provided, feeling full and satisfied as I left the restaurant after having a large and a small beer, totaling 2,730 yen.

I had the Katsu Curry Udon for 970 yen. Overall, the portion size was generous. The Katsudon seems to be popular. I wouldn't say it's the best value for money, but considering the location, it's understandable. They have a wide variety of menu options, so I would like to try something different next time.

There is space in front of the store. There is a coin parking lot for cars on the south side. It is within a 5-minute walk from Imadegawa Station on the subway. During lunchtime, there are long lines, with regular customers and university students coming one after another. Seating is usually shared with others. Both regular customers and students graciously offer to share seats, creating a pleasant atmosphere of manners. Check the menu in front of the store, and then you will be guided to your seat. Self-service for tea or water. Call a staff member to place your order and wait for a while. The restroom is Japanese-style, so female customers should be aware. Also, the portion size for rice is usually generous, so ordering a smaller portion is recommended. - Pork Cutlet Bowl (¥850): The perfectly runny egg is a highlight. The crispy texture of the cutlet gradually becomes tender. The well-seasoned meat is thin, but satisfying. The sweet dashi broth is excellent. The udon noodles are soaked in a broth similar to that of a sweetened udon shop. The onions and green onions add a nice touch. This pork cutlet bowl is known for not causing heartburn. It offers a high level of satisfaction while allowing you to enjoy the broth. The meal comes with red miso soup and pickles. After leaving the restaurant, you'll likely find yourself reminiscing about your university days. Personally, I particularly enjoy the limited-time pork cutlet curry bowl and pork cutlet curry udon. - Souvenir Plan: As a finishing touch, consider getting a souvenir. Options include cloud dragon from Tawaraya Yoshitomi, fruit sandwich from Yaoiso, tea and Japanese sweets while enjoying the garden at Toraya, or admiring a lovely notebook at Lleno on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. The cherry blossoms, plum blossoms, and fresh greenery at the Imperial Palace during the season are also delightful.

The cafeteria and set meal restaurant don't really give the impression of being worth the trip, but I come all the way from home, about 40 to 60 minutes, to eat here. I usually order yakisoba and katsudon. I don't feel like having katsudon today, so I tried the omurice for the first time. It's expensive at 920 yen, and the portion is small, very simple. Yakisoba is still the best, really delicious. The firmness of the noodles and the way they mix with the sauce is irresistible.

Kyoto Imadegawa Matsunoya Katsudon This katsudon is not the type where the tonkatsu is simmered and topped with egg, but rather the freshly fried tonkatsu is placed on top of a bowl of rice, with a generous amount of egg poured over it. The combination of the creamy egg and crispy tonkatsu is quite addictive. Even the regular size portion is quite filling, but if you opt for the large size for an additional 200 yen, most people will probably find it overwhelmingly challenging to finish. #Kyoto #Imadegawa #ImadegawaGourmet #Matsunoya #Katsudon #Tonkatsu #JapaneseCuisine #PopularRestaurant

I visited the famous Kawamatsunoya for the first time today. It was lunchtime and there were about 3 groups waiting. However, the turnover was quick and I was seated in less than 10 minutes. With so many options on the menu, I finally decided on the pork cutlet bowl and changed the miso soup to pork soup. It had been a while since I had a pork cutlet bowl, but I could understand its popularity with the generous portion and delicious taste. They offer a wide variety of dishes such as fried rice, omelette rice, rice bowls, noodles, and set meals, so I would like to visit again.

I was in the mood for beef suki udon, so I happened to pass by this restaurant and decided to go in. The atmosphere inside was like a cafeteria, with a variety of rice bowls and noodles on the menu. There were many students from Doshisha University nearby, as well as office workers. The beef suki udon had a substantial amount and cost just a little over 1000 yen. It was filled with plenty of vegetables and meat, and I was able to enjoy it while it was still piping hot until the last bite. I visited before 2 pm and the restaurant was full, with a few groups waiting outside. They are flexible with seating arrangements, accommodating only those who don't mind sharing a table with others.

The cafeteria near the university is always crowded with a long line even before opening. Most of the customers are university students. The portions are so big that you might think everything is extra large! And it's really cheap! It must be a lifesaver for students. The taste is also nostalgic and very delicious. They offer a variety of dishes from rice bowls to udon, yakisoba, fried rice, and set meals. It's like they have everything in Japanese cuisine.
