Today, I came here. It is a dining place run by a fishmonger located on the 1st floor of a mixed-use building just a short walk from Kintetsu Kyoto Line Ogura Station. Upon arrival at exactly 12 o'clock, I noticed that all the shutters around were closed. The shop offers takeout grilled fish and oden, with a visible kitchen on the left side and a layout of 5 two-person table seats, no counter seats. The menu consists of around 15 set meals focusing on grilled fish and sashimi. The most popular "grilled Atka mackerel set meal" was already sold out, so I ordered the recommended "grilled alfonsino set meal". The meal included rice, a main dish, 3 side dishes, soup, and pickles. The fish was grilled with salt sprinkled on it, giving it a fragrant aroma, but it was quite small, making it a bit challenging to eat. The 3 side dishes were well-seasoned, colorful, and delicious. The rice was shiny and perfect. The soup had a yuzu fragrance, and it was a delightful clear soup. I finished the meal soon, unsure if rice refills were available. Despite being a small eater, I found the portion size to be a bit lacking. The restaurant seemed popular among locals, as the interior was full. The service was good. Overall, a satisfying meal experience. Wheelchair accessible, washlet available in the back left corner, parking availability not confirmed.

I have been a customer of this restaurant for several years. One of the good things about this place is the variety of side dishes, which are of high quality. Looking at the new price list, the grilled mackerel is now 1180 yen, compared to 780 yen a few years ago. Today, I had the grilled saury set meal. It was a bit burnt and crispy, but I still ate it. The side dishes were still delicious as before. The clear soup had somen noodles, which were a bit soggy. The price may have been too cheap before, but now it doesn't seem worth it.

Today, I visited a new restaurant near my workplace. The menu was a bit on the expensive side, but I decided to try the recommended mackerel ginger simmered set meal. As I was eating, I overheard a regular customer mentioning that they also serve whale cheek meat, which I had wanted to try. It's a shame I didn't know earlier. The meal cost 1,280 yen.

Whale cheek sashimi set meal for 1,480 yen ☆ A shop located in a corner of the arcade street in front of Kintetsu Ogura Station. It is a shop that sells fresh fish and side dishes, with an eat-in space at the back of the shop. This time, I had a slightly late lunch here. When I entered the eat-in space, there were about 5 two-person tables. It was a very awkward time, so I was the only customer. It was like a private room lol Looking at the menu posted on the wall, I was hesitating about what to order, and the mother recommended the whale cheek as a super recommendation, so I decided to go with that. The whale cheek sashimi set meal arrived after about 5 minutes. The main whale cheek meat was served on a separate plate, and it looked incredibly fresh with a beautiful red color! There were three side dishes, such as vinegared dish, simmered dish, and boiled dish. There was also rice, pickles, and soup, which was surprisingly a lot of dishes. First, I tried the recommended whale meat. Since it was cheek meat, it had a firm texture. It wasn't tough at all, and when I chewed it, the umami and sweetness spread in my mouth, and it was really delicious! It's been a while since I had such delicious whale meat! The side dishes were all delicious with elegant seasoning! Especially, the simmered vegetables were exquisite! The clear soup was also authentic, with a good broth and thick slices of white fish in it. At first, I didn't have high expectations, but it turned out to be quite a delicious restaurant! There were other menu items that caught my eye, such as grilled fish and very cheap eel bowl, so I would like to come back again!٩(º̻∇º̻)۶

The teriyaki set meal was too delicious! I changed the rice to an eel bowl and I am completely satisfied!

Revisited the restaurant today and had the cheapest option, the grilled mackerel set meal for 780 yen. It came with four side dishes, miso soup, and tasty rice. However, the mackerel lacked juiciness and seemed like it was pre-cooked. I felt like I could have gotten better value by buying salted mackerel from the supermarket. I should have spent an extra 40 yen for a flounder instead. The purpose of visiting this restaurant was closed, so I decided to try it out. The entrance was through a fishmonger's shop space. The interior had five tables for two people each. Despite being only three years old, the place had an antique feel, which I assume was intentional. I initially hesitated due to the slightly higher prices but ended up ordering the grilled flounder set meal. The fish was perfectly cooked, with the burnt edges removed, allowing me to enjoy the fish's natural oils. The side dishes included cucumber and yam strips, mini meat and potato stew, and edamame. The clear soup had somen noodles with a hint of plum at the bottom, offering a delicious broth. The rice was so good that I couldn't stop eating. While there was no sashimi, I look forward to trying their high-end fish set meal in the future.

Matsushita Shokudo is a restaurant located in a small shopping street in front of Kokura Station. It always seems busy with customers, so I decided to visit for the first time. The staff kindly introduced the menu, and after much deliberation, I ordered the sashimi set meal. It came with sashimi, simmered dish, side dish, rice, and noodles. The freshness of the fish was impressive, which is expected as the restaurant is run by a fishmonger. The white rice was also cooked perfectly and delicious. The cost performance is a bit on the higher side, but overall, it was a good decision to visit. Thank you for the meal.

This is a new store that opened in the local area, so I decided to visit it out of curiosity. The storefront is a fish market with a dining area at the back, basically a fish market with an eat-in option. It seems to be a shop that belonged to a fish market that operated for 40 years at the now-closed Heiwado Kokura store last year. Since I visited in the evening, there were limited options for sashimi. After some consideration, I ordered the "Sashimi Assortment Set Meal" priced at ¥1,330 (market price). They also offered me a beer (medium bottle of lager) for ¥530. The sashimi assortment set meal included squid, red snapper, tuna, scallops, and salmon roe. The quality of the ingredients was good, but the cuts seemed a bit forced. This might have been my fault for requesting it. The side dish was a simmered dish with konjac and chicken, a simple home-cooked dish. The rice was served in a large bowl, nothing particularly noteworthy. The miso soup was a white miso soup, slightly on the stronger side, which I'm not a fan of. The service was provided by an older lady from the fish market staff and a young woman carrying a baby, perhaps the daughter-in-law? It seemed like a family-run business. I would like to visit again at an earlier time to enjoy the experience. (Provisional rating for "cuisine/taste")
