It's a cafe-like restaurant that serves lunch with a wide variety of menu options, making it hard to decide what to order. Based on the recommendation of my companion, I ordered the Stamina Hamburg set. It was served in about 15 minutes, likely due to the busy crowd. The set included a generous portion of Hamburg steak with demi-glace sauce on top and rice. The Hamburg steak was tender and delicious, but personally, I felt that the demi-glace sauce was a bit too strong and overpowering. It seemed a bit too thick or intense for my taste. Additionally, the rice was offered in a large portion for free. The rich sauce may be appealing to those who enjoy a hearty meal with their rice. Overall, it was a satisfying meal!

This time, I visited "Grill Asuka" in Yosano-gun, Kyoto Prefecture. The restaurant is located in a residential area in Yosano-cho and is loved by locals. I arrived around 12:00 on a weekday and despite being in a residential area, the restaurant was full, showing its popularity. I ordered the Pork Ginger Grilled Set for 980 yen. The pork was thick and tender, and the sauce was delicious. The miso soup had a red miso flavor that I personally liked. I would like to try the hamburger next time. Thank you for the meal.

Located a little off National Route 178, this restaurant can be found by heading north at the intersection with Iwataki Police Box, then turning west at the first unfamiliar alley and heading north. It is a quiet area surrounded by residential buildings. The restaurant has a small parking lot in front that can fit four cars, although it may be a bit tight for larger vehicles. The exterior gives off a vibe of a local diner rather than a Western-style grill. Inside, there are four tables for 4-6 people each and a small counter with two seats. Surprisingly, all seats are non-smoking, possibly due to regulations. The menu offers a variety of Western dishes such as beef steak, hamburger steak, omelets, and mixed grills, as well as traditional Japanese diner options like tonkatsu set meal, fried chicken set meal, and ginger pork set meal. I was planning on ordering the mixed grill, but somehow ended up requesting the chicken cutlet instead. The dish arrived in less than 10 minutes, and to my delight, it was served with a generous amount of demiglace sauce. The chicken cutlet was made from thigh meat, maintaining its crispy texture even after being coated in the sauce. The portion size of the chicken cutlet was a bit on the smaller side, equivalent to about one-third of a large thigh or half of a small thigh. The demiglace sauce had a standard flavor, so I added a bit of extra seasoning to enhance the taste. The side dishes included shredded cabbage, tomato, lettuce, potato salad, and spaghetti. The potato salad had a somewhat loose, paste-like consistency. The spaghetti, a classic ketchup-based dish, appeared to be seasoned with demiglace sauce instead. The rice, which I was pleasantly surprised by, was served in a substantial portion and had a delicious taste with a subtle sweetness and stickiness. The restaurant also offers free refills and upsizes for rice, which is a great service for those with a big appetite. The miso soup was made with red miso and had a mild flavor. Overall, the meal was enjoyable, and I look forward to trying the mixed grill next time. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Fried horse mackerel set meal for ¥930. The slightly sweet tartar sauce was delicious. I wish I had tried it with soy sauce and mustard too.
