I went to Miyamoto Farm on Mukojima to buy brown rice. Mukojima is known for Marumi-san. I decided to stop by and have some sushi. The appetizer trio was delicious, and the regular nigiri sushi had thick toppings. The freshly seared eel, the special egg, shrimp, octopus, salmon, squid, and giant fatty tuna were all very tasty. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I went to Marumi, located in the direction of Kyoto from Kintetsu Mukaijima Station, because a friend needed help. I started with an appetizer and finished with beef hot pot udon. The sushi with sweet broth was delicious, with top-notch ingredients. Thank you very much for the delicious meal.

On April 11, 2018, at 12:40 PM, I visited the restaurant "Sushi and Noodle Marubi" for lunch. This was my second visit. Last time, I had the "Nigiri set meal," so this time I ordered the "Chirashi set meal" for 950 yen (tax included). The owner seemed to be alone this day, as I didn't see the lady who was there last time. The owner was a bit busy but managed everything on his own. After waiting for about 20 minutes, I was served with a bowl of clear soup and a small side dish of pickles. The owner apologized for the wait and assured me that the sushi would be served shortly. After waiting for another 5 minutes, the Chirashi sushi arrived. First, I tried the udon noodles. The broth had a nice aroma and a rich flavor of bonito. The noodles had a good texture and were delicious. The portion of noodles was generous, just like last time. The Chirashi sushi had a slightly smaller amount of rice. It was topped with tuna, yellowtail (I think), squid, and eel. It also had a whole simmered shiitake mushroom, rolled omelette, cucumber, snow peas, and pickled ginger. Although the plastic grass decoration was unnecessary, all the raw fish was delicious. The chopped simmered shiitake mushrooms in the rice were a bit too sweet for my taste. Overall, I was satisfied and full. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

I walked while looking at the snow willows from the station. The distance didn't feel that far. It's a sushi restaurant in the town, where they make delicious sushi while considering the customers' wallets by not using expensive ingredients. I ordered the sushi lunch set for 880 yen. First, I had broccoli with sesame dressing, which was delightful. The sushi had ordinary toppings, but the precise knife skills and added touch made it a bit more delicious. Then, soba noodles were served with tasty broth. The soba noodles were cooked perfectly. The owner and probably his wife greeted us warmly, making the dining experience enjoyable.

On March 12, 2018 (Monday) at 12:45 PM, during work, I went to a restaurant called "Sushi Noodle Shop Marubi" near Kintetsu Mukojima Station based on information from MyRebi. It was my first visit to this place. The exterior of the restaurant had a local, traditional feel. Upon entering, there were counter seats on the left and raised tatami seating on the right. There were two customers already seated, both at the counter. The restaurant was run by what seemed to be an elderly couple, the owner and his wife. I chose the "Nigiri Set Meal for 880 yen (tax included)" from the lunch menu board near the entrance as soon as I sat down. I also ordered udon noodles. Tea, soy sauce, and a side dish (daikon radish, fish cake) were served first. About 10 minutes after ordering, the sushi arrived. It included tuna, squid, sea bream, grilled eel, tamagoyaki, and pickled radish roll. The sushi rice was tightly packed, slightly larger than usual, with a mild vinegar and sugar seasoning. The raw tuna, squid, and sea bream were particularly delicious. The grilled eel had a nice smoky flavor and was tasty. The tamagoyaki was a bit dry. The pickled radish roll was average. The pickled ginger was quite sweet. As I enjoyed the sushi, the udon noodles arrived after about 13 minutes. The broth had a good aroma and flavor, but the texture of the noodles surprised me. They were smooth on the surface, chewy with a wheat fragrance when bitten. It seemed like they might have been boiled after receiving the order, rather than being pre-cooked or frozen. The deep udon bowl seemed small at first glance but had a substantial amount of noodles, making me quite full. Just when I thought I was almost done, coffee was served. It was espresso, which was unexpected given the appearance and atmosphere of the restaurant. The coffee exceeded my expectations in terms of taste. The total cost of 860 yen (tax included) left me very satisfied. Overall, it was a pleasant surprise and a great dining experience. Thank you very much.

There is a shop near Kintetsu Mukaijima Station that has been around for quite some time. There is a parking lot across the road, but there is only space for one car, so it is difficult to find parking unless the timing is right. This time, I visited by bicycle. I ordered the "Mukaijima set meal" for 750 yen. Before the food arrived, I looked around the shop and noticed that the cheapest sushi was 80 yen per piece, making it a wallet-friendly place. The Mukaijima set meal included 4 cuts of medium-sized rolls, inari sushi (triangular), and the filling of the medium-sized rolls was a bit messy but generous. The sushi rice was subtly sweet and vinegary, while the inari sushi had a simple filling of just sesame seeds. I chose soba noodles for an additional 100 yen to change to zaru style. The noodles were dry and had no particular characteristics, but the round dipping sauce was suitable for this soba. Additionally, there were 2 pieces of thick fried tofu on a small plate and an orange. The total cost was 850 yen, but there was a 100 yen discount as a service, which was a nice surprise.
